STARBUCKS Gongguan Shuiyuan Shop

The space is wide enough to take a break: have a cup of latte, and reading book all afternoon.

Solid Starbucks! Nice location near Taipei water park. Pricey of course :-)

It’s a good place to kill time.

If one more toilet like other Starbucks better. And the washing sink is too small can’t wash bottles.

Very nice, clean and spacy Starbucks with a quiet atmosphere. If you visit Gongguan and the Starbucks there is crowded (it mostly is), take the five minutes walk to here and have a relaxing time.

Pretty cozy place to hang out, and the music is awesome. Good atmosphere.

Today (2021.05.04 at 4pm) I went to Starbucks and got a Warm Pasta Salad with Sous Vide Chicken. I got it for take out, because there is a recent covid outbreak here. Well, after I waited for the food to be cooked, the hostess came out with my order and informed me that I WAS NOT allowed to have a Starbucks plastic fork with my order unless it was eat-in. She attributed this to some NTU rule because the starbucks is on campus. Well, at every other NTU restaurant I've been able to get utensils to go (generally chop-sticks for $1NT, displayed on the counter for all to see), but for some reason this Starbucks goes the extra mile to inconvenience customers. The woman actually had the nerve to suggest that I go get a fork from the nearby 7-11. I don't know whether she expected me to simply take one (because 7-11 is supposed to supply utensils for Starbuck customers) or she expected me to try to buy plastic utensils elsewhere. Well, there was a third option she didn't consider, which was that I WOULD DEMAND MY MONEY BACK, which I did, and that I would tell 7-11 about this. If Starbucks isn't going to give you utensils to eat messy food like pasta with chicken then it should say so UP FRONT when you order, rather than waiting until after you have paid and they have made you wait for them to heat up the food. Congrats, Starbucks, on annoying the hell out of another customer.

A little bit noisy
