    This surely feels like a pop up coffee shop in a historic building - it certainly does not deter from the excellent brews and the fast, friendly and efficient service. A sea of tranquility amidst the bustle of the station concourse. Remember to ask for a takeaway if you’re leaving it to the last minute to catch your 🚂

    The member of staff who served me was very unhelpful and quite rude when I was clearly inexperienced with using Starbucks. He then proceeded to write the wrong name on my drink, then go on his phone which I thought was unprofessional. I’m not usually one to complain but it doesn’t take much to serve someone a coffee.

    I Visted yesterday and ordered a black Americano. It was basically just like drinking hot water, I had to take it back unfortunately as it had no taste and ask for a new one, the second one was just as bad. It is the most easiest coffee order and for this reason I am giving them this review, there was a chance to correct the problem but it wasn't the case. All the staff seem quite unhappy and the use of phones behind the counter in a customer service role like this, it is usually permitted.

    Staff had absolutely no sense of humour, nor customer service skills. Maybes they really hate working for the company, who knows. To charge 5p for a cup is just absolutely insane, I fully understand the nation wants us to reuse caedboard (in this case cups) but to charge 3.65 for a small coffee THEN 5p for the cup i just think is scandalous. I am on a day trip out and don't often drink coffee but thought i would treat myself to a coffee, So i do not carry a reusable cup round. On a plus note i did enjoy my decaf mocha.

    Everyone inside is depressed, made my drink completely wrong, using mobile phones on service. Low standard hygiene with flies openly resting on utensils, awful atmosphere. Avoid this place at all costs. The guy called guy needs to be sacked.

    Veganised toffeenut latte, I can die happy. Well, I had to sell a kidney for it but it was worth it. Also, such a cute location, feels like you're brought back in time. And thank you to the server who waited patiently while I couldn't make up my mind and asked about 12 questions before ordering.

  • 5/5 Andrius R. 9 months ago on Google • 36 reviews
    I really enjoy the coffee at Starbucks, and the atmosphere is always cozy and inviting. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and they always remember my name and preferences. I appreciate that I never have to repeat my order because they always remember it. Overall, it's a pleasure to come back every time. Thank you!

    Made my drink as I need it without question and were so kind and skilled and lovely! Thank you! What a difference it makes to get Baristas like this!

  • 5/5 Gigi A. 7 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Jahid was very pleasant ! Smiley and polite to me and he was acting very well mannered to his colleagues and seemed to be working very hard !

  • 5/5 franisha f. 9 months ago on Google
    I've been served by Jahid in starbucks. He always gives the best service with a smile. Makes u feel comfortable. Amazing person.

  • 1/5 Eryn F. 2 years ago on Google
    Had to tell the barista to put ice in an iced chai latte and the drink definitely wasn’t what was asked for. But it was because “there was an extra pump of chai”as if that wouldn’t be an indication to remake the drink to a suitable standard. Customer service was appalling.

  • 5/5 Chi Y W. 1 year ago on Google
    Bella and team provided an excellent service. Warm and friendly, my coffee was served hot. Ambience of the cafe is lovely and very clean. Highly recommend this branch.

  • 5/5 Lara 11 months ago on Google
    Lovely starbucks in a convenient location. Bella and her colleague were really friendly and efficient. I always worry I'm not going to have time to grab a coffee before my train, but this Starbucks has never let me down :)

  • 5/5 rose y. 11 months ago on Google
    I come here regularly as I work around the corner and all staff are amazing, today my barista was Bella, she was so polite and smiley and always makes every visit special! Nothing is too much trouble and I honestly wouldn’t go to another Starbucks! very happy with the service thank you Bella 🖤

  • 5/5 Sepi M. 1 year ago on Google
    Bella had a big smile as I got to the front of the queue -which is always lovely. Really fast service, considering it's a bank holiday. Thank you 😊

  • 1/5 Mark W. 10 months ago on Google
    Why can’t I give 0 stars? £4 for a coffee, it’s carelessly made makes and incredibly expensive compared to other stores. It doesn’t offer any other value than a premium location which is not a rationale for me to come back.

  • 5/5 M B. 9 months ago on Google
    Tastefully decorated, excellent staff, coffee is good but overpriced (it's Starbucks after all). They always play some wonderful smooth jazz. Could genuinely spend several hours here just looking at people.

  • 5/5 Ernesta T. 10 months ago on Google
    I always seem to find myself in Starbucks.A fantastic place for coffee and snacks to start my day. Service always fast and efficient. Neringa ( blond girl) is kind and helpful. Definitely 5* stars from me.

  • 5/5 Dan J. 7 months ago on Google
    Jahid always a very pleasant chap who delivers top customer service and the best coffee. Always remembers my order and my name. Thanks

  • 5/5 Daisy D. 9 months ago on Google
    Adam, Reece and Alessandro were so lovely and served me and my friends with nothing but smiles! Great tasty coffee too!

  • 5/5 Helen W. 7 months ago on Google
    Fantastic place to grab a coffee if you're near Victoria Station. Such friendly service and never kept waiting too long and the coffee is made perfect every time

  • 5/5 Emily R. 9 months ago on Google
    I was served by Abbey this morning, she was really bubbly. The other staff were lovely too and the service was nice and quick which was great as I had a train to catch!

  • 5/5 Seb C. 9 months ago on Google
    Stopped for a coffee and some breakfast before my train. Abbey was smiley and super friendly. Perfect way to start my day

  • 5/5 Richmal W. 8 months ago on Google
    Obviously very convenient for train and tram travel. Added bonus is the beautiful Victorian tiled space it occupies. Space to sit inside or on the station concourse.

  • 5/5 Phillippa R. 8 months ago on Google
    Sofia was an angel! She was very kind and helpful and checked our dietry requirements. We will definitely go back.

  • 5/5 hannah c. 7 months ago on Google
    One of my favourite starbucks in town, the staff are always so friendly! Jahid was lovely today and told me about the vegan whipped cream they do!!

  • 1/5 Victoria M. 1 year ago on Google
    Charged me £2.10 for a kids foam. When I questioned it, I was then told they should have charged me £3, more than a coffee of the same size. Manager became quite aggressive when I asked for a refund. Kids foams are usually free in Starbucks or a nominal fee. Is this normal practice elsewhere??

  • 5/5 Mollie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was really fast, all staff were smiling and welcoming, store was clean and tidy, food was so good. And choice for me as a non diary customer was amazing

  • 4/5 Song Thuc Trang N. 2 years ago on Google
    Last time I ordered a Mocha it was perfect. This time it was bad taste a bit and also no cream on top like I asked. The staff is friendly and fast though.

  • 5/5 Emily P. 2 years ago on Google
    My barista today Bella was absolutely an amazing friendly person! She recommended a wonderful drink and it tasted phenomenal.

  • 5/5 Unzillah R. 2 years ago on Google
    Professional and respectful all got a smiley face makes you want to attend again.

  • 5/5 Harpy H. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic coffee this morning and very polite service. The store was very clean and the staff were deep cleaning the tiles

  • 4/5 Sarah L. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely old building, courteous staff. Personally I would prefer a quieter environment - or instrumental music instead of pop. Dimmer lighting would be a bonus. I wanted a can of coke or pepsi, some kind of caffeinated cola but could only get an Innocent sweet fizzy drink. £7 seems a lot for a toasty and a can of pop. £4 or £4.50 would be mode reasonable

  • 1/5 Amirah L. 2 years ago on Google
    Not a good store. Staff there were rubbish. I asked for no ham products and they gave me ham. I went back to state that I didn't eat ham and stated this. The staff were rude and didn't want to change it. So if you have food allegies or religious food exemptions then don't go to this store. Avoid Avoid Avoid!!!

  • 5/5 Agnes J. 1 year ago on Google
    Bought a cup of Frappuccino, coffee was nice, place was tidy. I was served by eastern european lady, she was very friendly and helpful. Overall a good experience. 👍🏻

  • 5/5 R 1 year ago on Google
    I was getting late for my train, asked Bella about my drink and she promptly helped with smile

  • 4/5 Mehboob K. 1 year ago on Google
    Store is clean, but can be renovated for a better feel. Main issue is that there is no power point to charge my laptop.

  • 1/5 Paige P. 1 year ago on Google
    Charges 5p for a cup. Staff are rude apart from Asian lad. No other staff even crack a smile

  • 1/5 Ambs 1 year ago on Google
    Awful customer service. Very rude staff member. Drinks were OK but experience was ruined.

  • 5/5 J A. 1 year ago on Google
    I just came in to get a coffee and wait for someone, it was a really nice gesture for the barista to bring my coffee while I was seating. He said because there were no other customers and that it was fine but it made my day. 😊 Thanks.

  • 5/5 Ruth R. 1 year ago on Google
    I would like to give a compliment to Jahid of Victoria Station Starbucks. He was very friendly and profressional. He made sure that everyone's table was clear before we sat down to eat/drink and checked that our orders were correct. His pride in his work made everyone in this very busy branch of Starbucks feel welcome and at home.

  • 5/5 Jess K. 1 year ago on Google
    Quick service, clean and well presented shop. Staff were very friendly and the coffee was great!

  • 5/5 Benjamin G. 1 year ago on Google
    Fast and cheerful service from team member named Bella. Acceptable Price considering station based store.

  • 5/5 Laura S. 1 year ago on Google
    Was sat outside the shop when a staff member approached me with a sample of the pretzel hot chocolate. This drink really took me by surprise, very rich chocolate taste with a sprinkle of pretzels on the chocolate whipped cream. Perfect pick me up winter drink.

  • 1/5 Suhail H. 1 year ago on Google
    Been getting caramel Frappuccino pretty much every week at this place for uni, to stop myself getting tired but today was the worst I’ve very had. It was watery , blended so quick and felt so light tasted like foam. They rushed it like a minute to make having that lack of quality of it . I’m a regular customer but come on now . They need to get it together 🤢

  • 4/5 Dan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Popped in here a few times for a coffee. It has always been pretty much what you would expect from a Starbucks. The store can get extremely busy which is too be expected. Can say that I get decaff and they have never got it wrong which is more than some places.

  • 5/5 Mining C. 1 year ago on Google
    This Starbucks is exceptional! Their coffee is top-notch, the baristas are friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and the service is efficient. Highly recommended for any coffee lover!

  • 5/5 Amy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely people Bella and Anya !! They made me 2 delightful coffees. There's lots of space to sit down and the perfect vue of all the train times.

  • 5/5 Manos M. 1 year ago on Google
    Reece is such a great server. However the store would benefit from expanding and the Easter brownie was way too sweet.

  • 5/5 Gintare B. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    My favourite coffee shop indeed, brilliant and quick service, friendly staff, manager is always around with a smile which makes you feel welcomed. Can’t imagine mornings without my hot brew from then now. 10/10 guys!

  • 5/5 Rosie M. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Guy was lovely and the workers were polite and very fast. Quickly were able to make me a good alternative drink for me when the option I wanted was unavailable definitely recommend if you need fast and friendly service :)!!

👍👍 A very nice place. In fact it was outstanding. The food was delicious perfectly cooked. Taking my partner to a steak house for her birthday when she is a vegetarian still offered her a fantastic choice. The staff was brilliant even to the point of hearing me say happy birthday to my beautiful fiance...
