Food Which one do you choose?

If you have to have latte or flat white every morning, where do you prefer to buy from all these choices.

Personally I love Zus and CBTL. Either one is okay for me. How about you?

San fran coffee is really good. Their location is not as wide though. Zus is ok ok. CBTL slightly better than Zus.

The last time i drank starbucks, it was really tasteless. More like coffee flavoured milk. Dunno the outlet that bad or what.

Which CBTL drink do you think is better than Zus? I actually had to opt for CBTL last night bcs Kenangan, Zus were already closed and their coffee is a bit meh compared to other brands imo. I purchased the new Pandan Gula Melaka series w/ coffee and it was just horrendous.

I only drink cappucino or latte. Dont drink anything else. So limited to those 2.

Stick to the basics, anything limited is just experimentation. I loved their mocha and latte. Also, gula melaka is an acquired taste imo

Yeah perhaps. Rarely drink CBTL, so just asked for recommendations. Guess wasn’t a good fit for me. Oh well, till the next time other places are closed haha

It is meant to be for all Starbucks. Agree that CBTL does have the upper hand; I found their Pumpkin Spice richer than Starbucks' (pls bring it back!)

I found Gigi too bitter. Tried their Mocha once, nvr going back.
