"The coffee is some of the best I've tasted and sits well with my expectation of Starbucks."
Cons:
"And a ‘funfetti’ bun or whatever it’s called with cream that is yellowish in colour and clearly out of date."
"Don't know why I keep subjecting myself to below average over heated coffee like drinks."
"Shocking. I got served after 40 minutes of patient queuing in the drive through only to be given the most anemic ‘chocolate s’mores drink’ which was tasteless and had none of the ingredients stated in it."
"Water not hot, tea bags the worse ever, ever, server dumped milk in, turn it to warm milk and water, that bad I had to ask for another tea bag, it did not improve."
"Diabolical. Decided to eat in and we ordered a sausage sandwich, some fruit toast, 2 buns and 2 coffees... A total shambles and the worst 23 quid I've ever spent."
"Visited today, flies all over cakes and muffins."
"Ridiculously long wait just for 1 coffee (nearly 30 mins)."

"Nice new building with plenty of parking."
Cons:
"Disappointed that this Starbucks does not allow dogs inside."
"Visited today won't be going again it was like a youth club about a dozen young people there just hanging out they weren't purchasing anything and were taking up a lot of seating."
"There was none in the car park to tell you if you stay over so long you have to tell the staff.."
"Starbucks durkar said they would be open until 10pm to walk ins. We stood at the door for 15 minutes and had no staff reply."
"Plus they NEVER have cold brew here although they advertise it."
"The male and female toilets were supposedly closed, so you had to use the disabled toilet."
"Outside and the car park was full of youngsters driving round in cars."
