Starbucks

It’s nearly eggnog latte season. I can’t contain my excitement. #FACT
when I first spy those red cups, I could cry with joy. Yes I may have a restraining order from a few stores.
The staff are generally very pleasant in Starbucks. But the downside it, you know exactly before you go into any store what you can get. So there are no surprises.

Sort of know what you’re getting with Starbucks don’t you? Although this one is better than most. There’s plenty of corners and coves for you to work undisturbed and there’s a good outside seating area of the noise of indoors gets too much for you.
I say noise because this place is always busy, in the mornings it’s full of local grammar school pupils and during the day students flock here top get their caffeine hit. There always seems to be interviews taking place here too — suppose it’s a convenient and easy location to get to. Good luck parking if you’re going to this Starbucks — it’s best visited on foot.
The staff are great — they are well used to remote workers occupying their tables all day so they won’t give you any hassle if you nurse a flat white all afternoon. They work pretty quickly too — there’s always a queue so if you want your coffee in a hurry I’d give it a miss.
One last thing, ‘Do you want to try the Kenyan blend?’ It tastes exactly the same as the all the other blends!

I can’t seem to be able to walk past Starbucks in the mornings without stopping for a caramel latte or a caramel Macchiato. They have also started to offer Kenya coffee which is even sweeter (and nicer) than their regular coffee. Starbucks have a full range of drinks to include Refreshas, Yoghurt Frappuccino Blended Beverages, Espressos and Americanos.
This Starbucks is often quite busy in the mornings with teenagers, students and business men/​women so do expect to wait a few minutes for your coffee however the staff are always really friendly.
Starbucks is definitely my favourite coffee shop!

Hello guys! Decided to leave a review, because i come here for coffee quite often since this is the closest coffee place to where i live.
The staff is absolutely amazing, they try to build a relationship with their customers, they know my order by heart, and John always writes ‘thank you’ on my cup in my native language, which is pretty impressive! :D
Thank you!

Bit fortified — when approaching from Elwood ave, why do we have to walk all the way round to Lisburn Road — couldn’t an additional entrance have been made?
Very small trays… we’re you out of large ones? Can you get some larger ones.
