    Drink is also nice. Service was good.

    Super lovely ambience - natural light, chill and modern. But the only problem was that they really called our names so softly (or not at all) that our drinks were left at the counter until a really kind soul came to inform us. Matcha pistachio latte was not bad - slightly bland at the beginning but the overall drink had sufficient notes of pistachio which blended smoothly with the matcha. Wouldn’t drink it again because it’s really pricey, unless I get another voucher :p

    the rating speaks for itself. it's 10am and the crowd is still manageable. I believe I was loud and clear that I ordered a cup of latte and they forgot my order while I stood there and watch other orders go by. none of your staff even bother asking what was my order. got abit upset ans raised my voice a little to voice out my unhappiness

    i honestly giving it a 5 star thanks to one of the staff name Indra. when i was there on December he was so kind to me. honestly he was the most polite staffs at the outlet, since i was a tourist he told me the best attractions to visit at Singapore zoo. he kept calling me sir even tho we were about the same age. he deserve something from Starbucks, as after 6 years of loving Starbucks coffee he was the best staff i have ever seen

    One of the newest and best services we encountered in Starbucks at Mandai’s outlet, Birds of Paradise. Special shout-out to Melody, who is fast, attentive and knowledgeable. Everyone is polite and friendly. While the food and drinks menu is of Starbucks standards, the services and designs are highly recommended! Maintaining high service standards takes a lot of work, especially for chains of this size. The kids had a great time, and now this is one of their fave outlets, alongside the one in Jurong Lakeside. #andrewtanatomisingapore #theatomiway #starbucks

    Coffee is the same as any Starbucks, service is the same as any Starbucks, but the view is so serene looking over the 'River Safari' scenery which has to be the most unique Starbucks view in Singapore. Even though it's the middle of nowhere there are people having meetings and working on laptops and I can see why.

    24th July , Is my first time visit Mandai Starbucks. A bit disappointed for my Java chip Frappuccino . Taste too watery~~☹️☹️☹️ 😢😢No taste of coffee or even taste of chocolate~~~ Really not worth to pay $10 for a coffee like a $1 coffee. Staff there are all so good in service and friendly, just the drink make me disappointed.

    Went on CNY eve, no crowd, great ambience, staff were friendly. Coffee was ok, no complaints 👍🏻

  • 3/5 KH C. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice environment, too bad very few seats due to safe distancing, big table now reserved for staff to put their stuff. Best to take away.

  • 5/5 K G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a store with a stylish design (Original) お洒落な設計 デザインの店舗です

  • 3/5 Sophia L. 3 years ago on Google
    Taste is ok but the slowest service ever. The barista have to speed up please!

  • 5/5 Stuti M. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice Coffee

  • 1/5 Roxy U. 3 years ago on Google
    Terrible that you have to ask for reusables and the staff have to pull them out from the cupboards. Everyone dining in was served disposables. Of all places Starbucks at nature parks and reserves should be mindful to educate staff to use reusables by default for dine in. Very discounted Starbucks. Live up to your responsibilities please.

  • 3/5 Peter S. 3 years ago on Google
    Any time I visit they have plenty of Manpower behind the counter and still long queues and slowish service. Seems unprepared.

  • 4/5 Andrea teo Siew W. 3 years ago on Google
    Interesting new Sakura blossom strawberry frappuccino. Made up of strawberry milk ice blend with raspberry panna cotta, then topped with whipped cream & white chocolate pink petal.

  • 4/5 Christopher S. 3 years ago on Google
    Our choice whenever we are here. Breakfast set is value for money. You get a 10% off if you are friends of zoo. Takeaway is always nicely packed which allow you to eat in your car or on the go. Do take note that seats are limited due to the current pandemic.

  • 3/5 HK A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The environment is 100%. There are indeed few seats. In addition, it is a tourist area. It is painful. If you want to relax and drink coffee here, don’t think about it, no matter what time period. (Original) 环境100%位子的确很少,加上是旅游区,痛苦,要悠闲在这里喝咖啡就别想了,不管什么时间段

  • 5/5 A. 2 years ago on Google
    Very cool little Starbucks located beside River Safari. The staff there were bubbly and super friendly in taking our orders. You can dine in if you're fully vaccinated as you'll be given a green sticker after the verification is done at the front.

  • 1/5 Mike B. 2 years ago on Google
    Starbucks says to use the app for "dine-in orders" but when I tried to do I found out that the menu in the app is much smaller than the one at the location, and couldn't even order the basics (an espresso)!!! This should be an easy fix, one that should have been caught before launching app ordering.

  • 5/5 jerry c. 2 years ago on Google
    nice ambience, few seats due to covid

  • 4/5 Spring N. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice Nitro G cold coffee, crafted cold. New York cheers cake is very fresh.

  • 3/5 Mantou 3 years ago on Google
    Nice ambience and environment, for a relaxing rest after the parks. You have to look out for your drinks as they call your name out very softly and your drinks will be left there till picked up. But thankfully they are quite fast in doing service recovery, so that do make up for it.

  • 4/5 Nikita M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice Starbucks inside the forest. Food was tasty, the team is friendly. The only downside is really poor Wi-Fi.

  • 4/5 E 4 months ago on Google
    The prices here are not inflated compared to other Starbucks. So it's more worth spending $5 on a coffee compared to paying $3 for a can of coke inside the zoo. Plenty of seats but the aircon is a bit weak. Maybe there's too many people on the weekend.

  • 5/5 Qiaoling X. 7 months ago on Google
    Shyuen and her team deserve a round of applause for their patience, great attitude and friendly service. The crew were polite and professional despite being faced with an unreasonable customer near closing time. Some River Wonders visitors leaving the park around the 7pm closing time had to be turned away by staff from 6.45pm to ensure queuing customers could be served by 7pm. We witnessed a family getting upset and insisting the crew take their orders. The crew handled the situation as delicately as possible today and deserve a pat on their backs. Perhaps this recurring issue could be resolved by a velvet rope with a we-are-closed sign placed outside the doors at 6.45pm. Could save the crew a lot of trouble. Once again, thank you Shyuen, Taufik and the team for your superb service!

    Worse Starbucks drinks. I ordered a latte ,but it taste like fresh milk, without any taste of coffee

  • 5/5 James O. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice place to relax. Air conditioner is so cold.

  • 4/5 Khang Waah L. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice environment which located at zoo singapore with nature sorounding. Services are ok even if it is crowded on Saturday. Order nitro cold brew and refreshing drinks are good. It is not recommended if you need a sip of coffee with relaxing and quiet space, especially during the weekend and festive season.

  • 5/5 CHIACHIA H. 11 months ago on Google
    A bit crowded as many children and trollers. Environment is great 😊

  • 5/5 J.K. C. 10 months ago on Google
    Always nice to be in a Starbucks Cafe. Experience and ambience is unbeatable!

  • 5/5 Yanni 1 year ago on Google
    The drinks they make are consistently good (been here a few times) and they are very very efficient. Saw a huge crowd in line today and I thought I had to wait for at least 20 mins. I only queued for about 5 mins and got my drink in the next 5 mins. Enjoyed my overall experience and really love the ambience here.

  • 4/5 CFC LANKA -Fast Food Innovative P. 3 years ago on Google
    Rates high but always goo to have

  • 5/5 kieronfooz_1109 1 year ago on Google
    Food and drink good as always, service at counter was great, but other people's leftovers were left on the table for quite a long time.

  • 3/5 Chong K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best restaurant/location that enable you to enjoy a good cup of coffee

  • 5/5 Joseph T. 1 year ago on Google
    Have seen this place many times when visiting Mandai Zoo or River Safari. Today have had the opportunity to enjoy a decent lunch with family during the long weekend holiday visit to the Zoo. Despite being peak hours during the lunch hours, the staffs deployed at this outlet still serve you with a big smile and quick in taking order, preparing and serve to customer. Recommend to visit but during peak hours need to wait around 30-45 minutes before table is available (also depends on how large the group is).

  • 5/5 Yoo 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nitro cold brew is very delicious. Together with sweet things, it is a time of bliss. Although it is closed at 19 o'clock, since the customers enter rapidly, we are open. It is around 20 o'clock to actually close the store completely. (Original) ナイトロコールドブリューがとても美味しい。甘い物と合わせて、至福の時間です。19時閉店ですが、どんどんお客さんが入ってくるので営業してます。実際に完全閉店するのは20時頃です。

  • 5/5 Desmond K. 2 years ago on Google
    Due to Covid. Very limited seating allowed. Wait 15 to 20 mins usually. 28 Dec 2021 Tuesday 4pm.

  • 2/5 Ashley 2 years ago on Google
    Nice ambiance but high prices and VERY slow service. Place was less than half full but still took 20+ mins to just place my order.

  • 5/5 Stephanie L. 2 years ago on Google
    Very long q due to covid measures, but the team handled it very well. 10/10 for their patience in handling my memberships rewards. Good job and service !

    Nice fairly quiet on a Saturday early afternoon. Seems like there's plenty of staff but a lot of tables left dirty

  • 4/5 Gregory K. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice setting near the River Safari attraction, food and service was good, friendly staff.

  • 1/5 Atsushi F. 4 years ago on Google
    I truly think this is one of the worst operation Starbucks in the world, how come just bringing sandwich would take more than 15 min. Especially when we are not here to enjoy coffee time, but to catch quick coffee before safari. It's simply matter of operation. But do not recommend if you are here to enjoy safari.

  • 1/5 Leona Z. 4 years ago on Google
    Quite disappointed with such an international brand, can’t read China issued credit card! Seriously?! Also one of the staff was being very rude, no manner, yell instead of being politely to customers! Should go take a proper and professional training before take onboard! Such a global brand in such a family-friendly spots, terrible! Never gonna try again!

  • 4/5 Eric 5 years ago on Google
    Air conditioned Starbucks shop in a handy location. All the Starbucks souvenirs are well stocked.

  • 5/5 Shinichi M. 4 years ago on Google
    Best place for chill out after visiting Zoo & River Safari. Discount for membership of Zoo is available.

  • 3/5 Alex J. 4 years ago on Google
    Firstly the service here is SLOW. But my coffee was adequate it could’ve been worse but it was okay 😂. Anyway when my father was ordering a tea for my sister he said “please” because he was using his manners but the waiter then wrote Chris as the name for the tea because she misheard my Dad and she thought that my Dad said his name was “Chris” but he really said please! Other than that incident the coffee was good.

  • 4/5 Andreas W. 6 years ago on Google
    Very spacious Starbucks and not crowded at all almost 11am. Right next to the RiverSafari entry so a bit hidden. Try the Nitrogen Cold Brew fresh from the tap, it’s delicious!

  • 1/5 Alpha T. 5 years ago on Google
    Lacking of smile and polite.

  • 5/5 Yoong D. 5 years ago on Google
    Great cozy Starbucks Reserve outlet located right outside the entrance of River Safari. A perfect refuge during heavy rains and after a sunny morning walk in the zoo. Comes with a wide selection of drinks and food. We normally have breakfast here when visiting the zoo. Kid friendly with baby chairs available, and our daughter enjoys the Babycinno the baristas make!

  • 1/5 Scottz L. 5 years ago on Google
    A very leaky experience with water dripping down. (See the red bucket on the table in the photo) Sugar sachet, straws were left to the splatter. Service was slow causing a queue to quickly formed. Used plates and cups on table were left uncleared. Customer service was very average and less enthusiastic than the usual Starbuck experience. Very disappointing for a global brand.
