Starbucks

Working out of Starbucks Trichur : Experience Story. Startbucks standalones are a rareity to come by now a days because most of them try to cater a mall going customer base. Happy to say that the Trichur one is a very different one. I think I came in as one of the most early customer and was here for a good 12 hours for work. It is an amazing place. Quaint and quiet with a mellow music and, well, good coffee. I didnot test the wifi but the mobile networks were strong enough to work and take video calls. Jio 5G gives a speed of 100+ Mb/s with a latency of 40-50ms and airtel 5G goes above 120+ Mb/s with a latency of 30ms. Vi 4G+ also sustains but I didnot do a speed test. For work, a few things will be recommended: 1. A CMF GaN 100W to 140W Charger 🔌 is good to sustain a phone and a laptop or a tab and a laptop. Charges 2 and sometimes 3 devices together but can be bulky on the plug so, plan to sit near the walls 🧱 2. Prefer 4.5 to 6 ft high transfer type C to type C cables from Ambrane as I felt a slowness in charge with people came in.(Not much though could be power sharing my Charging Brick) 3. The city of Trichur runs on cash so if you are an outsider, mark a few ATMs nearby. I walked round way 1.6 km to find a SBI ATM close to GEM hospital but it was close to Pooram. A Canara Bank branch is closeby with ATM inside its premise that I could not access because the branch was closed. 4. Ask for and interact with Sandro here. He is polite, lives to talk, guides well and is super helpful.

Very fast service, staff is courtious and helpful. I really liked the vibe of this place. The area is big and even though there were people on top floor i was able to work peacefully. One suggestion would be cleanliness of that sofa area on ground floor. It has crumbles and dust could be seen.
