Starbucks

I love starbucks and as a self confessed coffee addict this newest branch hasn’t disappointed! good coffee and a great selection of snacks, plenty of space, I’ve never had to wait for a table or not been able to find a seat.

OK updated this review, as been back a few times and things have changed.
Despite Coffee being sold in Mugs inhouse, the quality of the brew has improved.
Adding to the improvements in the coffee, is the selection of new foods available.
WiFi access has been setup, and is fast, and generally the place is fairly quiet, a definite plus over the options close by.

Well a guy called Clive served me and I have never known someone who knows more about coffee than this guy… Awesome service.

This is a new addition to Poole High St, and begs a few thoughts.
It is virtually opposite Caffe Nero, which has built up an established clientele, and nearer to the Dolphin Centre where there are several coffee places. And we are now in recession.
Also Costa is nearby!
I am all for competion, and the interior is certainly a comfortable place, especially on a freezing day! But it is not well positioned really. Maybe a price war will start, but as it’s a franchise I don’t know if this is a reality.
Anyway, good luck to them, they’ll initially get Caffe Nero’s overflow, although yesterday Starbuck’s was empty and the other very full.
