Traveler reviews
John Wu
★★★★★2 years agoBeautiful historical building that houses Starbucks. It's worth visiting and having a nice ice coffee up on the second floor
Darcy Chou
★★★★★6 years agoReally liked the combination of the ancient building with Starbucks! I liked sitting at the bar because it’s cozy and quiet. The second floor is more noisy but spacious, definitely a good place for meeting with friends!
