This is my local and whilst I prefer this Starbucks to the town centre there are a few things to…read moreknow. It gets busy and the staff can be rushed and not too friendly. Parking can be an issue. Irritating to see staff park in the disabled parking spaces. There is on street parking just down the road a few meters. The toilets are nearly always in poor condition. A variety of people use this store, workers on their laptops, students revising, professionals meeting, people on the road, social groups. You don't get large groups of young families.

It's a large cafe serving the usual vast array of coffee, tea, hot chocolate and other beverages as well as muffins, sandwiches and other Starbucks food. There are plenty of seats, both the comfy sort and the sort you sit in until the confy ones become available at which point you make a mad dash and trip over your belongings. I'm sure you will already know about the quality of Starbucks coffee, but it really is quite good. Ample parking available and wheelchair accessible.

Park in the homebase car park for 30 minutes to zip in and zip out lest you find yourself having to step into the sainsburys and buy £10 worth in order to get your parking from The Heart redeemed. Decent coffee, staff are nice but as Starbucks goes you could be in the heart of Surrey or somewhere in New Mexico and somehow not know the difference. Urban, non-franchise Starbucks just seem to be buzzing with more life, more machines and the like. Too bad as I would totally have loved to support a Seattle company otherwise.

It's okay. Not the greatest Starbucks, but not bad. I'd give it 3.5 *s. If you like Starbucks, this…read moreone is very serviceable. Pros: * Quite a bit of space; medium-to-large for a Starbucks. * Not very busy; can nearly always get a seat, and usually any kind you like (comfortable couch or squishy chair, window desk, table, etc.). * Convenient: Waiting for your order is better here than rival cafes in the area, since they call out the order. So you can go do something else while you wait. (Unlike Caffè Nero or other places, where you have to wait at the till.) * Tidy. Empty cups get tidied away fairly quickly, so you're not having to skip a bunch of tables to find a clear one. Cons: * The layout is long and deep -- can only get good window light near the front. * A couple years ago, they replaced this awesome sleek comfortable study desk with a sucky, chunky, too-high dining table thing. Much less comfortable to type at it. Feels old in a clumsy way. * Seating generally feels 'low'. I'm not sure if it's a high ceiling or if a lot of the chairs are actually low, but it has a weird atmosphere. (This might be subjective.) * Little bit on the 'cramped' side: you need to navigate chairs and tables a little in some areas. * I've found it's surprisingly well-patronaged by people with strollers and babies/small children. They're not super obnoxious, but can be loud and take up space. * Food is bland. Rival cafes do way better. Other notes: Staff are efficient and nice enough, but the high and crowded till makes there a gulf between you and them, which makes them feel more like vending machines and less like people you could chat to. Pro: professional, convenient. Con: less 'fun' for people-persons, harder for regulars to build a friendly relationship. For comparison: Caffè Nero has a close, open, well-lit till; Cafe Bonjour has a very attentive and friendly manager; and in Coco Noir they have very good and personalised customer service, putting thought into it as well as being friendly.

Much like Starbucks, the service is quite alright, and the drinks are moderately priced. Because these locations are LITTERED with tourists, it's always so packed in each of these locations. This location can be particularly crowded as it is in Oxford's crowded touristy area, and if that isn't enough, it's inside of Waterstone's Bookstore (so double crowded)! The turnaround is slow as many people visit Costas for the free wi-fi accommodation and study space. Many customers pick up a book or two, plot down on the limited seats, and sit there for hours reading. Finding a table is rather hard -- especially at this location because it's somewhat small. Because the baristas are constantly bombarded with customers, they are slow to clear the tables. I have come MANY times only to clear my own tables and wipe away the gunk with my own napkins. Iced-blended mocha here means just mocha over ice so don't expected anything icy or frothy. There wasn't much consistency to the taste as I never knew if it was going to be good or not. The Iced American is okay. Overall, I enjoyed this location because I love Waterstones, but I definitely wouldn't recommend this place if you're just coming for the drinks.
