Starbucks

I was queuing recently and it struck me… like a good strong Coffee… why did I need to
long. Starbucks leaves you hanging.

It’s Starbucks. Run of the mill chain coffee shop. This one is my local and I really like it as the staff here are always really nice and recommend things to try. Yesterday one of the baristas suggested I try the Valenica Orange drink blended, however they were out of that drink so I went to the Stillorgan location later and got it. The only thing this place needs to improve on is being stocked better. They seem to be out of things a lot come the weekend.

It’s the Starbucks feel you get here, just like everywhere in the world, which makes it predictable, and that my friends, does make these chains so successful. I know what I’ll get, and that’s what I’m looking for when I go to Starbucks.
And what is it we can find here?
A certain way they brew and prepare coffee: nice blend and not that strong. Next to this they have a selection of cakes and the like to complement the coffee, which can be served in 3 sizes: tall (small), grande (standard) and venti (large).

Hard to do a review of any more than one shop of any given chain… particularly a chain that goes to such lengths to make everything the same, the only differentiators I can think of is the staff and possibly the location, on both counts this place excels.
But I really don’t like their coffee!!!

If all the Starbucks in the country were ranked in order, this one would come in the top 25%.
