星巴克(保定保百购物广场店)

The taste is good. The service of the girl at the front desk is very good and smiling. It is much better than Huachuang store. They are also very professional when making drinks. And today I tasted the first free drink in Starbucks in ten years.

I've been passing by this shop in the Baibai Shopping Plaza on Chaoyang North Street for over ten years on my way to and from work; I've been eating there since I was a child. Their signature sesame seed cakes are a must-buy every time I go. They're so crispy and crumbly when they're fresh out of the oven, and they're still delicious even when they're cold. If you go, remember to go early; the batch is most fragrant around 4 or 5 pm, otherwise they'll be sold out!

The blackcurrant drink was particularly pleasant; it had a rich fruity aroma without being too sweet. I sat by the window, gazing at the street scene for a while, and it completely relaxed me.
