Starbucks

A classy starbucks wit a very welcoming room. Friendly barristas to serve, though a bit slow at moments… But a good smile almost always solves everything, isn’t it?
This Starbucks is 2 min walk from my office so I often go there to satisfy my coffee addiction. Taste wise, well, it’s Starbuck. What more can I say? :)

First Starbucks I’ve ever been to where I had to explain to the Barista the difference between Grande & Venti… and every time I have been since that first experience makes me wonder how connected this store is to Corporate. American Starbucks employees seem to have it more together than those that work in this location.

Best Starbucks coffee in UK thus far, probably because it was made by an Italian! The queue was massive but they got my drink right and even steamed my milk for my ‘white’ coffee. The coffee didn’t taste burnt and the wifi was free flowing. Cheers to you Whitechapel Starbucks, I’ll be back!

So yeah… another Starbucks review.
In our what seems like our never-​ending search for WiFi, we happen upon this location & think «score!» SBux has set us up right & through a great partnership w/​AT&T, I can hook up my iPhone *anywhere*… I am invincible!
Well let me pop that bubble b/​c there is NO free internet to be found here. They provide what they call a Wireless Hotspot — which means you can hook up to internet via your login & password connection through T-​Mobile, O2, AT&T, etc… but it’s NOT just a free connection like I was led to believe
Thinking I had AT&T free w/​iPhone however, I pishaw my initial failed attempts to gain access & I happily try again & again to login forever before realizing that I need some sort of «special» account to signon
Store setup was nice & there were hooks on the tables for bags to hang w/​out being on the floor — nice big storefront window for what might be cool people watching…
But BOO on you for the false advertising of free WiFi — 2 Stars for a clean restroom & decent tea for my friend to purchase
