This Starbucks store is located inside Sainsbury's Ellesmere Port, on Kinsey Road, meaning the location is ideal for those who are buying groceries at Sainsbury's, shopping at the adjacent outlet shopping park, Cheshire Oaks, or those who just want to grab a beverage, with the location being right at the front of the store, meaning you don't have to walk all the way through Sainsbury's to get there.
The store opened in Summer 2022, so it is still fairly new, it looks and feels like a normal Starbucks while being inside a supermarket, which is pretty cool. There is a good amount of tables and comfortable seating. The interior is nice and modern, and they've done a great job of feeling like you're not just sat in a renovated area of a supermarket.
The staff seemed friendly and service was very quick, although they didn't seem to be actively cleaning tables down, despite the store being very quiet.
The store supports mobile ordering and prices appeared to be the same as corporate-owned stores, with rewards also accepted.
I ordered a Venti Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte, which is my favourite drink at Starbucks, so it's my go-to order at this time of year, I was impressed with the speed my drink was made, and how they also maintained the quality.
PRO TIP: I love visiting this branch while shopping at Cheshire Oaks, as it is right next to it, while the unit also tends to be larger and quieter, meaning you can have a more relaxed and improved experience, away from the hustle and bustle of the shops.
