StarbucksNewest Review: ... creditted with making independents go down the tube I'll have to admit that I've started going in and found that it's not bad! It is expensive when you look at the prices compared to elsewhere, you are paying a premium for the Starbucks name which has an odd kudos. Don't like the straightforward coffee but the milkshakes really are lovely. Sandwiches and wraps are so expensive for what they are. Maybe I'm just mean but I find that the sandwiches are very bland, oddly chewy and so dear. However the sweet stuff is delicious and worth it if you need a sugar fix. Nice enough places, had better coffee though!... more |

With a huge selection of drinks served in a formal café where you can work, chat or just lounge around on a sofa while reading and drinking a nice hot drink. Drinks You could buy a good quality coffee, or maybe a hot chocolate with whipped cream, even an espresso the list could go on forever. Of course everyone has a favourite, mine of course is the caramel cream frappachino, this is basically a posh version of a milkshake but it is top quality and I highly recommend it. Prices Now with all this quality stuff there has to be a price and drinks range in size but it is ...

The only time I ever went into Starbucks was when someone else was paying. These used to be work meetings most of the time. Although most of those involved acknowledged the fact that the drinks were very expensive, we also commented that it was very tasty. So for those once in a while drinks it certainly went down well. Having changed paths in my career, those work meetings no longer happen. Since then I have been into Starbucks on a few occasions. Totally love their Hot Chocolate topped with cream. Very smooth, creamy and chocolatey. The extra expense is worth it. Not only for the taste, but for the surroundings. The nice comfy chairs and internet access make ...
