Starbucks on Ridgeway Rd is located a short walk away from the city centre of Stoke-On-Trent, opposite Morrisons. The opening hours are pretty good, they stay open until 10 pm Monday to Saturday which is handy as the one directly in the city centre closes very early.
The interior is fairly clean and modern and looks pretty much like any other Starbucks.
The prices remained in line with other corporate-owned stores as a non-franchise location, as I recall it was cheaper than the location inside the main shopping mall in town.
The baristas were friendly and ensured fast service from the time I ordered my Vent Iced Blonde White Mocha on the app. My drink was made up to a good standard.
4* - A good Starbucks but probably not worth the trek from the centre of Hanley if you don't have a car due to the poor pedestrian route. read more
