Starbucks has always been one of my least favourite branded coffee shops.
Always found their coffee to be a bit on the weak side for me and lacking any really bold flavours. All in all a bit...meh!
Their food also, not very imaginative, often the fillings in their sandwiches just not being all too satisfying for the taste buds.
However it does serve a purpose and this time the purpose is caffeine and a bite to eat as I had taken up some voluntary work in the nearby animal shelter.
It's a quiet branch, as it's on the road out to Dumbarton.
However in the handful of times I've been in there's always cups on the tables that haven't been cleared away and there's always weirdly a lack of food.
The choice is normally fairly limited and I've had to settle a few times for whatever is there for lunch, but my most recent visit there was absolutely no food. None.
It was 12pm and I had no sandwiches or salads to select from.
I even asked on the off chance if they were maybe hiding some in the back. I was told no they were busy and sold out. (As I look out across the empty branch)
In most cases I'd probably accept that it's a one off, that indeed they were busy in the morning, but given that everyday I've been in the selection has been really low, I'm not too sure.
The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is there's one girl who works there who is chatty and I appreciate a person who is engaged with their customers. read more
