Until today I had never noticed this store. Around the corner from The Body Shop, between Bond Street tube station and Selfridges. I actually walked past there recently but it was being refurbished I think so I did not bother checking it out. Hidden away in this small street it is the perfect spot to avoid long waits and have some more intimacy. It has all the normal conveniencies like Wi-Fi. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The only thing to take into account is that there are only few seats so it is great for takeaway but maybe not that great to sit in on a weekend.

I visit this branch before work, usually, for a coffee and a sit down. The staff are efficient, friendly, and seem to work well together. There is no public toilet within the store, but, rather one just around the corner. So, if you’re thinking that you’ll just pop in to use the loo, it ain’t happening. –lots of workers, tourists, and passersby frequent this place, so sometimes it’s hard to score a seat.

A very relaxed branch, with small and busy ground floor space, but plenty more of space and comfy sofas on the lower floor. There is always space downstairs and you can be with your laptop for as long as you like without risking being prompted to order again or leave. The female toilets of this branch always have a queue though! All in all, great to relax after walking or browsing through Covent Garden, or for a quick bite before the theatre.

This is quite a nice Starbucks branch. It is just off Oxford Street, round the corner from the Body Shop close to Bond St. The toilet here is excellent, it is clean, there is usually no queue waiting to use it, and the staff are happy to let you use it without having to buy anything. I find this useful, as there are hardly any toilets that you can use for free around Oxford St. The café itself is usually quite quiet, though it can get quite busy around the lunch-hours. The staff are brilliant, they are polite, and very quick at serving you your order, so you get a good drink, piping hot. This is a good café to have a rest at half-way through a long-shop on Oxford St, and the seats at the back are quite comfortable. The only problem with this place, is that due to the narrowness of the building, there is a bit of a traffic jam to get in and out of the café, as there isn’t much space between the counter and the back wall.
