Welcome to Starbucks CCI, a delightful cafe nestled in the heart of Quito on Av. Naciones Unidas. This location skillfully marries the familiar warmth of the Starbucks experience with the rich cultural flavors of Ecuador, offering a unique spot for coffee lovers and casual diners alike.

As you step inside, you’re greeted by the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee, blending seamlessly with the vibrant atmosphere created by local patrons and visitors. The cafe has a cozy, inviting layout that encourages both relaxation and productivity, making it a favored spot for remote workers, students, and friends catching up over a cup.

The menu is a mix of traditional American favorites and local delicacies, which truly sets this Starbucks apart. Customer Lucia Gabriela highlighted the intriguing choices available, including unique Ecuadorian sweets like “Pastel de Natanjilla” and refreshing “Remolacha” juices that complement the coffee offerings beautifully. Picture sipping on a mocha, as described by Mike Vasquez, with its rich chocolate notes that epitomize comfort in every sip.

However, be mindful of the pricing practices here; certain extras, such as oat milk and whipped cream, come with an added cost, which may differ from the typical Starbucks experience elsewhere, particularly in the USA. A careful eye on your bill can elevate your experience and help you enjoy the delightful flavors without any surprises.

For those looking to work or study, the strategically placed round tables on the top left of the staircase are perfect for concentrating, as noted by customer Daniel Dalgo. Avoid the smaller tables at the front, as the air conditioning can be a bit too brisk. With a cup of coffee in one hand and a pastry in the other, you’re set to conquer your tasks in comfort.

Whether you're seeking a cozy corner to work, a spot to indulge in a sweet treat, or simply a break to savor your favorite coffee, Starbucks CCI harmonizes the best of global coffee culture with the heart of Ecuadorian flavor. Visit soon to discover your new favorite coffee nook!

I appreciated that they offered traditional desserts like “Pastel de Natanjilla” and “Remolacha” juices, as well as a mix of traditional American and Ecuadorian treats. The drinks were decent, but I was surprised to be charged for every little extra, which doesn’t typically happen in the USA. For example, I was charged for oat milk and whipped cream. I couldn’t believe I paid the same amount I usually pay in Sarasota, Florida—one of the most expensive cities in the USA. I was shocked by how expensive it was, especially considering the difference in the local economy.

I go there by bike to eat something, get a coffee and work. Important, to work use the round tables at the top-left of the staircase (there are only 2). Do not use the tiny tables you'll see on front, specially not the last one, as the a/c points directly to it, and you're gonna feel the cold really fast.
