A fairly large branch of Starbucks located in Jubilee Place in the Canary Wharf area of London, it still seemed rather busy and in more need of seating, with the seating mainly consisting of communal or small tables.
I'm not sure if this is or isn't a franchise store, on one hand, they support mobile order and pay and Starbucks card, but the other they charge more than regular stores which I found to be strange, with my friend's Large Latte costing 25p more and my Venti Vanilla Cold Brew latte costing 15p more, which was between around 5 and 9% increase.
They did have a large range of merch and food, which I liked and the store did stand out, look good and appear to be pretty modern.
I also like the fact they work with disability charities and promote deaf people in the workplace, encouraging customers to be patient with them with a sign at the check-outs.
My drink was originally made incorrect, they ended up making it as a regular Cold Brew despite the barista admitting his mistake that he'd read it wrong, he did remake it but I notice he did go to use the tap first, which shouldn't be used if it's a Cold brew latte (the tap is weaker than the jugs), he also appeared to put water in first anyway which seemed to dilute the vanilla syrup to the point I could barely taste vanilla in my beverage.
A lack of milk and vanilla meant the bottom third of my drink just tasted rancid and woeful.
This Starbucks store looks good and is in a good location, with the convenience of being able to order in advance and pay on your phone, the staff seemed friendly but the beverage quality just isn't that satisfactory throughout the beverage.
