This Starbucks is located inside the Westfield Glories mall, on Av. Diagonal, the store is fairly pretty from the outside and also has outdoor seating within the outdoor area of the mall, perfect for soaking up the Spanish sun in a relaxed environment, with a coffee.
The interior is fairly small but typical of the usual Starbucks style. I liked the bar-style seating, opposite where the baristas are making the drinks.
I found Starbucks in Spain to be fairly typical of most Starbucks within EMEA, prices seemed to be a little higher than back home in the UK and international Starbucks cards, such as those from the UK and US are. not accepted.
The staff were friendly enough and spoke basic English in order to take my order, I was recommended the Black Queen Cold Brew, but I declined as I wanted my coffee black.
My drink was originally made wrong, as they made it with milk, I was a little annoyed as I specifically mentioned I wanted no milk but they were happy to remake it straight away with no issues.
The overall coffee quality was fine, it was slightly better and the Cold Brew again didn't taste as good as back home in the UK.
I ordered a Grande Vanilla Cold Brew, which came to €5.21 (£4.50). This would have cost €4.09 (£3.50) back home, combined with my gold-level discount so costing over 25% more.
3* - A fairly comfortable Starbucks with friendly staff in Westfield Glories, not without issues but I would consider returning. read more
