    Worst Starbucks I have ever been too. The staff is unexperienced and the costumer service was just something never seen before. No presence of a manager and my drink and food were absolutely horrifically disgusting when pointed out to the staff no action was taken. Not to even talk about how dirty the place was it felt like being in the station toilets.

    Terribly slow service. Coffee no code to the expected quality. Even the Starbucks app is clever and logs out when closer to the Starbucks stores, so rewards scheme is a sham.

    The early staffing team are the best! Always a welcome smile & friendly conversation. The barrista makes the best cappuccino in London!

  • 5/5 Rob W. 1 year ago on Google

    Avoid if you're someone who wants to know if there is an ingredient that you may be allergic to! Took 4 people and 5 minutes to tell me what nuts are in their toffee nut muffin and when I found out there was no peanuts (not allergic just hate them so avoid them where possible) they still went and gave me the wrong muffin... Avoid if youre someone that asks questions Only gets a 2 cause of the coffee

    I went there today they had notice that one of there coffee machine is down and they were offering some brownies for that. The way team was handling was quite good.

    I love this Starbucks. They offer a range of options, from classic favorites like lattes and cappuccinos to unique seasonal drinks. One of the things I appreciate about this Starbucks is the consistency in the quality of their drinks and amazing service. I can always expect a well-made and flavorful beverage from incredible and friendly staff. Especially zaneta who service is incredible. In addition to their drinks, they also offers a great selection of food items, including pastries, sandwiches, and salads which I find that they are tasty and satisfying. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with comfortable seating and a relaxed ambiance. It's a great place to meet up with friends, study, or simply enjoy a cup of coffee on your own. Overall, I would highly recommend this Starbucks to coffee lovers who appreciate a wide range of beverage options and a consistent experience. Whether you're looking for a quick pick-me-up or a place to relax and unwind, this is a great stop !

    The staff is lovely, always friendly with lots of positive energy. Coffee and other drinks are always on point, and the atmosphere is very cozy. For me personally the perfect place to get coffee/tea in the morning before work and to have a short chat to get energised for the day. :) I can definitely recommend coming here!

  • 5/5 Charlotte H. 6 months ago on Google
    Ordered a hot chocolate and was served by a lovely lady called zaneta. She had amazing customer service! Lovely way to start my day before work :)

  • 5/5 Jessica T. 1 year ago on Google
    Today I had one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. I was greeted so amazingly by the gentleman working in there today who was so bubbly and chatty and just really brightened up my day when I needed it most. He is an absolutely credit to your business.

    Quick and excellent service, always look forward to my morning coffee at this branch! All staff are amazing and helpful

  • 2/5 D Y. 4 months ago on Google
    Incompetent staff who cannot take your order properly — you have to triple check that dairy/ non dairy of choice has been noted. Feeds into staffs general incompetency around communication — often manifested in hilarious misspellings of name, even when spelt out. Minor issue, but annoying nonetheless.

  • 5/5 Martyn H. 2 years ago on Google
    Started going here for my morning coffee prior to catching my train. The two ladies serving are amazing ; friendly and helpful. A great way to start the day.

  • 5/5 Sarah G. 1 year ago on Google
    I always hop into the Waterloo East Starbucks on my way into work. The staff are lovely and always quick so I can catch my next train. I’m glad this has become a little part of my routine!

  • 5/5 Kirsty B. 1 year ago on Google
    A really lovely place to grab my mid-commute coffee. They remember me each time and the coffee is always made quickly and to my taste. A great team there.

  • 5/5 Francesca F. 1 year ago on Google
    The happy team always brighten my mornings. Always a fast service and fab coffee!

  • 5/5 Mahmuda K. 1 year ago on Google
    Was served by a very nice worker zainab. Holds a conversation while making my coffee very quick. Good start to my long work day ahead.

  • 5/5 Abigail D. 2 years ago on Google
    I was served by Jan and Minufa today, both of whom were very lovely. Jan told me fascinating facts about the history of Starbucks and even held the door for me on the way out, as I was with a pram. The drinks are pretty expensive here (I paid £3.60 for my coffee), but I am happy with the service and the coffee did taste nice.

  • 1/5 Sharon H. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst coffee anywhere, first time i used this starbucks i didnt get what i asked for, asked for a refund as i didnt have time to wait.... cashier didnt know how to do it, so left with no drink and no refund.... Here i am again, thought id bite the bullet, awful tastless drink, so i give up, definitely wont waste my money again.....

  • 1/5 Marco F. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tamanna C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great customer service received from Sanjida. She hold up an amazing conversation with me while making my drink. She had a smile on her face. Enjoyed my Pink coconut refresh. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Daniel S. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff are great. Remember my coffee every time. Jan is particularly joyous. Working Under very extreme conditions as Starbucks won’t install air con in this small enclosed space. Must be illegal.

  • 1/5 Minh D. 4 years ago on Google
    Very rude. Bad service ever. Coffee tasteless. They even wearing headphone while working. They racist me beacause im an Asian look??? Terrible experience.

  • 1/5 Razvan N. 5 years ago on Google
    Awful service! The late from this specific brunch is far from the usual taste you usually get in other Starbucks shops and the staff definitely need to be trained in customer service. As much as I love the brand I will never buy from this specific shop again.

  • 1/5 A H. 4 years ago on Google
    Sub standard. no wifi, no wall chargers. Panini was cold. Coffee was fine though.

    Only gets this because the staff were not too friendly. One was ill and was coughing all over the drinks. The food and drinks are great though, but they alao cant spell names too!
