Always Enjoy my Starbucks , Kind Caring Staff , Really go out their Way �
I went to met a friend for a quick coffee and a bite to eat. I had my first pumpkin spiced latte lovely not too sweet for me and a ham and cheese toastie my friend had a black coffee and a tomato and cheese toastie. Both enjoy and filled the gap till dinner time. I had my dog with me and he loves his pupacino and the sad part is we had to leave and my friend left to go back home to Canada.
Been here a few times and it's very popular with university students and school children. I usually find the the place is understaffed and the service can be slow for the overworked and harassed staff. Other than that, it's the usual Starbucks. Good coffee, Matcha, cakes and desserts. There's plenty of seats as there's seatings on 2 floors.
Location wise, it's right next to Hillhead underground station, roughly the middle of the busy busy Byres Road
A million stars for service here! After a torrential downpour on a Friday evening - soaked and looking ridiculous for an evening out - the Batista here warmed me and my partner right up again with his fantastic welcoming chat. He even have us a bunch of napkins and things to handle some running makeup.. We had two iced lattes for the irony. It's Starbucks coffee, sure, and I'm usually harsh on high street chains. But not today! I wish I remembered the name of our server, but whoever you were, you're a top bloke.. it's those little things that stay with us! Hope this brightens your day too!
Fin just absolutely made my afternoon by going above and beyond anything that I would expect!
place was clean, drinks were lovely, as was the food and the service :)
Clean place. They have a 2nd floor for additional seating. Washroom and WiFi available. They are located right beside an exit of a subway station (Hillside)
Best chain ever! Hands down , best for flavour & taste, The new nutblend milk is to die for
As always only a quick visit but with great music playing and efficient service it was good. Special shout to Dominic the barista who danced and sang throughout my rush hour visit. I wont hold spelling my name wrong against you.
Good Starbucks
Can get busy around lunchtime with students seeking thier caffeine fix
This shop used to have a great cosy ambience but has entirely lost it in recent years. Shame 🙄
Despite being so busy, the guy Dom on the till is a joy! Super friendly and made the visit awesome! Definitely recommend to be steal the joy 😂
Ok it is a generic Starbucks as some other reviews noted. That said it has a number of positives:
1. Coffee is way better than Pret (not a high bar I'll admit)
2. A Venti (huge) latte is noticeably cheaper than it is in the US.
3. Very central location - right next to the underground.
4. Staff are nice
It's Starbucks so you know the menu; coffee, sandwiches, cakes, et cetera. This one seems quite basic inside but nice all the same. I never went upstairs though so it's perhaps a little more plush up there. Staff were great though, recommended.
Like most Starbucks. You probably know what to expect. Convenient, but an acquired taste. If you like the taste of the coffee, then great but it's not for everyone. Pastries etc not fresh, but again some people like them a lot. Extra seating upstairs which is good. Service is usually very friendly, and they make an extra effort for regular customers.
I've improved my rating in appreciation of their covid safety efforts, which have been excellent, especially early in the pandemic. Sadly the same can't be said for all the clientele, but you can't have it all I guess.
