I adore Starbucks....if you have seen any of my other reviews (or check-ins) you'll probably notice a trend ;-)
The Stansted Airport airport has a tough challenge with SO many customers to service for most of the day - compared to your usual Starbucks that usually only have to deal with the pre-work caffeine rush, lunch time crowd, and the afternoon "please keep me awake drones".
