No Stars For Starbucks
55 Answers
Out shopping yesterday we nipped into Starbucks for a quick sandwich and cup of tea. We were presented with bread rolls containing luke-warm lightly cooked bacon, yukky inedible soft fat and all, flimsy little wooden knives to cut them with, grotesquely thick china mini-buckets of warm water (quantity over quality?) containing tea bags. the result of which turned the water a very unappetising shade of grey, and a little paper cup of milk. We didn’t expect fine dining but that was a truly ghastly experience. Never before and never again.
Does anyone actually like Starbucks?

Sainsburys near me have given over their cafe to Starbucks a few months back. Starbucks have spent a tidy penny refitting it out. I was interested just how much they were charging for drinks so had a stroll inside. Coffee appeared to start from £3 upwards, sorry but people must be mad to go in there. In saying that I walk past every other day, and most times its empty so maybe people are not so mad. I also believe these coffee machines they use are set to give weak everything no matter what your choice, ie, colored water, its now the biggest con going in my view.
The coffee in Starbucks is awful: watery slop in ridiculously large mugs - but then Americans are clueless about good coffee. I recently noticed the cheapest cappuccino at the Costa in my local Tesco is £3.40! Who can afford that ? In a nearby village there's a nice café, but it's £4 there!
Agree with pasta that Caffè Nero is the least worst of the big chains.
They are opening coffee shops all over at a rate of knots, but I firmly believe the UK has been hit with just another habit / craze in most cases. Yes there are times when people are out and about and you may get the need for a coffee and you have a sudden hunger bug, but eh, that wont half cost you, and be disappointing. Getting to the craze and habit, whats all this with people walking round the shops holding their coffee in their paper cups/ theres more and more shops now displaying signs on the doors no drink or food allowed, for gods sake if you need a drink that bad, go and sit down inside were you bought it, and enjoy it, thats if you do enjoy hot water. opps! sorry I will get my coat :) I don't think it will be to long now before the craze is over and they will be closing them down just as quick as they opened them. It won't any longer be cool to be in the coffee shop.
Yes I've never really comprehended how these places are in business. I don't mind a coffee from bucks/costa would never trust them to make a cup of Rosie though. The price of everything is kin ridiculous. We have an in house one at work and the saucepans must spend half their wages in there. I don't think that they can do arithmetic, well so few can these days but 5 £3 coffes a day is £75 a week! Some of them get rounds too so that must increase consumption. Amazing then when I tell you that there is at least one proper free coffee maker in each office section. That's what I use!
I preferred Costa to Starbucks but can no longer support them since they decided this was an appropriate image to carry on their takeaway cups.
