Starbucks VS Coffee Bean: Which Is The Best?

Nothing gets people started up in the morning like a good cup of caffeine. And for some of us, a piping hot cup of tea won’t do.

It just has to be coffee.

Which comes to the next point.

Starbucks or Coffee Bean. Which of the two is your morning coffee spot? And while we’re at it, let’s break down everything else on the menu!

Team Starbucks

Starbucks is known for their dreamy desserts and even dreamier coffee mixes. Their caramel nutty chocolate cake is your equivalent of a peanut butter-chocolate cookie. The only difference is it’s ten times better, thanks to the luscious caramel sauce that’s drizzled generously over the cake, and the crunchy chocolate bits.

Their caramel macchiato has its very own class, and this is not your usual. The silky smoothness you get from the caramel and the right hit of espresso and cream is all you’ll ever need to start every morning with a smile.

Team Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Coffee Bean wins when it comes to mocha flavour. It’s more pronounced and voluptuous. Let’s not forget their divine carrot cakes. We wouldn’t love carrots in our meals any other way.

When it comes to outlets, their best seems to be the one at Fullerton. The café itself faces the Merlion, and you get to take in the amazing view of the sea while you take a break. The cushioned seats are cozy and let you settle in while you sip on your coffee.

Moving on to the beans. Coffee Bean sources the best of Robusta and Arabica beans, and their speciality leans to the latter. The beans are roasted until their prime flavour bursts out.

Coffee Bean’s bestsellers are the Café’ Mocha and the ice-blended Black Forest. You’ll have to try it out to believe it!

The Final Verdict

It really boils down to what you prefer more. If it’s an intense mocha flavour, get yourself a cup of Starbucks. On the other hand, you’ll need a Keurig cup of Coffee Bean’s Arabica drink to-go if you want an aromatic cuppa.

So what’ll it be? The choice is in your hands. As Yoda once said, “May the force be with you!”.

In the meantime, I’m heading to Starbucks. That oozing liquid gold of Caramel Macchiato’s been calling me, and it’s time I paid it a visit!
