Starbucks @ IFC just moved from the first floor to this 2nd floor location. While this one may seem a little isolated from the rest of the shops, it actually provides a better environment where you can enjoy some quiet time during non-busy hours.But this Startbucks offers something completely new from the rest of the chains. On top of the regular sandwiches, pies, wraps, cakes, and pastries, there are hot items, such as lasagna, quiches, soups, and made-to-order salads available exclusively at
But this Startbucks offers something completely new from the rest of the chains. On top of the regular sandwiches, pies, wraps, cakes, and pastries, there are hot items, such as lasagna, quiches, soups, and made-to-order salads available exclusively at this lFC's Starbucks. The 20ft long display case provides an eye-catching arrays of daily selections, and one with selection ability deficiency really should think first on what to order before lining up in the queue and block the rest of the ordering crowds
The New England Clam Chowder was piping hot when served. While it didn't have much clamy oceanic taste, it wasn't sickeningly thick and helped to provide some comfort in a cold day. The other selection of minestrone soup, on the contrary, was dense and tomato-ey.
The flavor of the orecchiette arrabbiata salad was quite nice, and the salad was huge in size, filling enough to be consumed as a lunch meal.
The wild mushroom and smoked bacon quiche had almost too much filling, but fortunately the onions were sweet and the egg wassn't overcooked.
The brie & cherry tomato focaccia (what they called flatbread but really wasn't ) was ok when toasted hot but started to turn chewy and dry when cooled down.
I didn't try the lasagna but my friend said it tasted fine given it was from Starbucks ()
The surprise of the day was definitely the oxtail stew and wild rice wrap, exclusively created for this location. I was impressed by the oxtail meat with was mostly tender and had some gelatinous pieces which were very delicious. The white rice was on the soft side, which I prefer, and the wild rice mixed in gave a little aroma to the mix. I enjoyed this one very much.
The hainan chicken rice wrap, another exclusive item, comprised mostly white breast meat. I think it will suit Americans a bit better
Price of these items are in line with other regular food items at Starbucks, which is actually relatively economical at IFC when cheap food is almost non-existent.
Service is good and friendly.
