Believe the reality and expect the unexpected when you enter much publicized, so called "world leaders in coffee outlets" ie Starbucks, Connaught Place.
The hype created overshadows the reality.

Iced Café Mocha and Lemon Cheesecake ( got all that in time, no problems theree Well Coordinated staff)
The whipped cream on top of the frappe was not at all fresh, floating separately (got it changed). It took me more than half an hour to finish it. To my surprise, the Iced Café Mocha tasted nice or atleast like a decent coffee. The cake was another disaster. The lemon syrup let down the very charm of the fresh creamy cake.
The prices are decent enough. They are almost at par with Costa coffee or Café coffee day. For me, Starbucks didn't live up to its international standards. They should rather focus on improvement in more relevant things than expanding their chains in India.
All in all, a not so wow experience.
