You'll want to hang out at these gorgeous Starbucks branches in and around Metro Manila:

Macapagal

Starbucks' Macapagal branch is the coffee-chain's biggest store in the country: It's got two spacious floors and even an al-fresco area. Designed by the Starbucks Design Studios in Hong Kong, it can seat up to 222 people—no more having to struggle finding a seat! If you can't stay, you can also check out their interactive drive-thru area.

Starbucks Macapagal is at 9 Macapagal Avenue, Parañaque City.

Stepping into this Starbucks branch is like traveling back in time with its dim, rustic ambience built into the historic walls of Intramuros. If you have a soft spot for the past, you'll definitely feel right at home. Fact: Puerta Isabel II was the last gate built by the Spanish, which was opened in 1861.

Starbucks Puerta de Isabel II-Intramuros is at Puerta Isabel II, 15-A Muralla Street corner Magallanes Drive, Intramuros, Manila City.

We won't be surprised if you find yourself staring at the ceiling a lot when you visit this branch—it's made with hundreds of wooden boxes that's definitely Insta-worthy!

Opened in 2018, the Two West Aeropark branch has a polished look that's conducive to studying or reading a book while sipping coffee. The brightly lit branch is cozy enough to hang out in for hours on end; we don't blame you if your attention drifts off to the textures on the walls and the nature-inspired artwork further into the space. This branch is right across The Medical City - Clark.
