It’s exactly what you’d expect from a Starbucks, coffee is expensive but at least it’s consistent and you know what you’re getting. The service was quite slow but they seemed understaffed and friendly. Once the order was put through it didn’t take long to prepare the coffee. The shop is right in the middle of Hitchin town center overlooking the square. It’s a great spot to stop and people watch. The building is very charming and old, with large glass windows on two sides. Plenty of seating with plugs to charge devices and free wifi.
This branch provides all of the same sandwiches, baguettes, salads, cakes, drinks etc as any other (and at the same high cost) although the two large windows spanning either wall give you a view of the surrounding area and shrubbery which offers a very open and relaxed atmosphere as opposed to the normally much "darker" and enclosed feel. The quality of food, drink, and service is decent considering the level of consistency that is required of these chain cafes.
Brilliant service and perfectly made coffee, so many places have taken to overheating it was a pleasant surprise.
