Everytime I go in I am greeted with a smile and friendly conversation. Lily is a very pleasant lady and remembers my order without a seconds hesitation. I always enjoy going here.

Just popped in to get two coffees for a meeting we were having. Service was a little slow but only because there was one barista doing everything and it got busy.

Starbucks is pretty consistent from branch to branch. I attended this one about an hour after the main lunch rush, so it wasn't crowded. The only downside was the selection of cakes was greatly reduced, but still had something I liked.

Great location, fast, satisfactory service by friendly staff. Good standard of coffee and varied menu items, although price is a factor that could be worked upon as it is quite high, although this is reflected in the beverages themselves. In terms of nutritional value, dietary information, and allergy quires, the barista's are exceptional at keeping a good standard of customer service, and are happy to check beverage folders for answers to these interrogatives. An example would be one barista in particular taking the time to check if the new 'Coffee Jelly Frappuccino' is suitable for Vegetarians.

Coffee is king! Gets me through the day try a caramel flat white or a cold brew you will never go back. Great location to meet up with colleagues plenty of parking which I think first few hours are free.

A very friendly young girl served me, she was working very hard in hot conditions. This Starbucks should have aircon for the comfort of their staff and customers alike. However, this coffee shop was very clean, tidy and bright. My Americano was just what I needed and the snacks and sandwiches etc. were well stocked. Good wheelchair access too. I recommend this coffee shop.
