Starbucks

Best Starbucks to go to for me before/​after school for my caffeine fix. Not as cheap as the coffee in school but always reliable for that extra sugar kick from the numerous syrups I add to my humble latte. Plus, I’m almost always ‘this close’ to a free drink. Who doesn’t like loyalty cards?

This branch of Starbucks is one of the many branches around The Strand area of London, this one in particular is located at 335 — 339 of the road, and they certainly seem proud of their location, with a sign which shows it loud and clear.
This store is quite nice, with communication between customer and barista (poor in many London stores) being good here, the layout of this store is quite nice, but typical Starbucks really.
They is a few plug sockets here, which is good if you plan to get some work done here, or just call in to grab a coffee and charge your phone (especially when your battery is broken!)
My coffee was okay. it was quite nice and up to the typical Starbucks standard.
This store is surrounded by other coffee shops, with a Caffe Nero opposite and just minutes down the road either side, you will see a lot of competition for this store, but this store is quite nice with good coffee, and good staff, as well as a good range of merchandise, and sandwiches. They is limited seating but it doesn’t seem to get very busy, and lots of seating doesn’t really seem to be needed, so I do feel 3 stars for this store is fair as it basically represents your typical Starbucks.

I love Starbucks solo much! First one in ages as well so it definitely hit the spot! I had a coffee frap with a peppermint shot and whipped cream and told the staff my name was buffy. Amazing! Not much seating so you gotta be vulture esque but its worth it.

After the refurb the place is more spacious! Got to love the free Wifi too!

Small Starbucks, not much seating. This is a place to grab your drink and go, not one to linger in.

One of the worst Starbucks ever. Had a very negative experience there after queuing for more than 25 minutes. Got my drink wrongly 3 times and was treated rudely and unprofessionally by amateurish staff. I’ve reported the incident officially a number of times to the HQ and also to the local UK office. Nothing happened. Not even an apology! But to the contrary. a call 2 months later! to inform me that Starbucks can’t apologise to a loyal customer who asked for this to be investigated. Big #Fail

I like this Starbucks. I know people say that they’re all the same, but they’re not. Sure, the coffee will be the same (and I like the coffee, so sue me) but this one is fun. Becuase you can sit at the window and watching people running around.
And that’s fine. I’m a huge people watcher. For some reason it doesn’t get busy in here (or it isn’t busy around 5 in the evening on Tuesdays or Wednesdays).
The staff are friendly, the lattes are nice and you can watch people going about their business: into london, running for trains. It’s the perfect nosy spot.

Incontournable !
On s’y sent toujours un peu chez soi car la décoration intérieure est très agréable. C’est un vrai moment de pause, dans un endroit cosy, avec des fauteuils clubs bien confortables. Pour les amateurs de café, c’est bien évidemment un must, car le choix est grand! Et pour les gourmands, les gâteaux sont à tomber: cookies, muffins, gateaux au chocolat, carrot cake… Mais surtout: le blueberry cheesecake qui est vraiment délicieux !!! J’en ai encore l’eau à la bouche…

As with most starbucks on or around busy roads, this one isn’t that great.
The hot chocolate, tea and cold drinks are good, but the coffee is awfull, as is the decour, the music played, the seats and the bathroom.
The staff are quite friendly, but sadly, not that great at their jobs.
All-​in-​all, try going to another starbucks or café, you will find it much more enjoyable!

un endroit sympa et incontournable
c’est sympa pour se détendre, retrouver des amis devant des cafés diver, des lattes, macciato, et autres, les donuts sont trés bons. A essayer obligatoirement.

Moment détente
C’était durant notre voyage a londres notre endroit préféré pour boire un petit moyen ou grand café avec une petite patisserie. C’est de bonne qualité et vriament sympa avec un choix très large. Dommage que nous n’en ayons pas en France !

Devenu incontournable à Londres
Dès que l’on se promèné un peu à pied à Londres, on tombe sur un Starbucks ! Et ce n’est pas désagréable d’y faire une petite pause en dégustant leurs fameux cafés aromatisés. Celui avec du caramel est particulièrement bon. On peut aussi manger (des sandwiches, des chips originales) et le tout dans un cadre assez chaleureux. Les accros de Starbucks peuvent aussi s’offrir des tasses à l’effigie de la marque !

Très sympa pour faire une pause !
Cet chaîné de café est très bien pour faire une pause café en visitant Londres ! Il y a beaucoup de choix de cafés en tout genre: capuccino, machiato etc… En plus, il y a pleins de pâtisseries si vous avez une petite faim ! Ils sont en général très bien décorés, il y a quelques canapés et fauteuils ! On se croirerait presque chez soi ! En plus, niveau qualité/​prix, il n’y a rien à dire !

Starbucks ici ou là bas…
Les expressos sont tellement serrés que vous né dormirez pas de la semaine, mais le reste à essayer: les cappuccinos, les macchiatos, les latte ou les frappuccino aromatisés. Il y a de tout, pour tous les goûts avec pour ceux qui le veulent des pâtisseries classiques (type donuts) ou des cakes archi-​caloriques crémeux et aux couleurs étranges… !

«Made in America»
Les points de vente Starbucks, sont des établissements proposant un concept de Café lounge, proposant de faire une pause café en tout genre. Le petit plus est que votre boisson chaude, si vous la consommez sur place, vous sera proposée dans une mugg à leur effigie. A faire.
