Starbucks is a world famous chain of coffee shops and there is one here in Bali on Jl. Pantai Kuta close to the beach.
I haven’t been in the place before and decide to see what it had to offer.
This place has outside seating which is pleasant and a somewhat small seating area inside. There’s more room upstairs.
I was snapping away when a staff member told me to stop so I can’t promote them as much as I was hoping to.
The drink list features the usual coffee menu and prices are as follows (prices are in thousands).
Latte: Small 18, Medium 20.5, Large 24.5
Mocha: S 21, M 23.5, L 24.5
Cappuccino: S 16.5, M 19, L 23.5
Coffee of the day: S 12, M 15, L 17.5
Tazo tea: S 13.5, M 13.5, L 18
There are also bags of coffee for sale.
Mild – Colombian
Smooth – Estate Java
Bold – Sumatran
The place is air con and if the heat and traffic are getting to you Starbucks might be an island of America for you.
I sometimes toss in a local word for numbers eg. Tiga, meaning 3 when writing. To help you get a grasp on numbers here’s a little breakdown.
Zero – nol
1 - satu
2 – dua
3 – tiga
4 – empat
5 – lima
6 – enam
7 – tujuh
8 – delapan
9 – sembilan
10 – sepuluh
11- sebelas

21 – duapuluh satu
30 – tigapuluh
100 – seratus

10,000 – sepuluhribu
100,000 – seratusribu

With those prices, they need all the promotion they can get!
Fremantle is cheaper than that.
Yeah - a Large Latte is about $3 US when you convert….not that much better than the Starbuck’s a stone’s throw from the BootsnAll HQ.
Nick, if you find other coffee, expresso shops, let us know…then again, not sure how often I want a steaming hot cuppa joe when it is hot/humid outside.
Hi Nick/
These American chain Coffee
Shops are a complete and utter rip off.
As you know they are every 50m in London. Average price per cup or should i say minumum is £2. Now your not
telling me that it costs that much to produce. Now i know they have all the other extras included in the cost, but i would say a fairer price would be £1.
It really annoys me when i see a queue of people sometimes in the morning waiting to be ripped off. Now charging these prices in Bali when there is such a vast aray of alternative value for money choices to be made…..well we will see eh! I hope it does not take off, i mean theres a big diff between a cold morning in London and tropical Bali and a hell of a lot more choices of valuee to boot….where some miserable tosser does not mind you taking a harmless snap of the joint. Anyway Nick i hope that was the last bit of custom you gave Starfucks.
Enjoy…Mark

Going back quite a few years, there was a very pleasant coffee and cake cafe, on a quiet corner, not too far from Dyhana Pura.
I don’t remember the prices, but they must have been OK, because we kept going back.
But, how about this, they were smoke-free! There was a notice to that effect on the door, no-one argued, and the smokers sat outside, in the very pleasant garden area.
We only ever stayed in that area once, so I don’t know if it’s still there.
I like Starbucks here in Melbourne. The coffee is good but not great. I don’t really care how much it costs because I make a lot. A couple of bucks difference is chump change.
G’Day Nick,
Good to see ya got the numbers wired!. Starbucks was just near the grand opening stage when I left. However, give me street coffee from the kaki lima any day!.
Does Starbucks sell ‘Arabica’?
