Starbucks, 9 Exchange Place, Glasgow

Starbucks Review

Advantages: Great coffee, nice surroundings
Disadvantages: Expensive

pop hits, as I would get bored of that quite quickly. It does feel somewhat homely, which I think is what Starbucks are trying to go for, like a home away from home sort of thing, where you can come and enjoy a beverage and do some work on your laptop or catch up with some friends. The staff seem well mannered, of course everyone gets stressed sometimes but I've never been served by a rude or disrespectful employee. Overall a fantastic place to go, with scrumptious food and drink. When I go to the centre of Bristol I always make sure to pop into Starbucks, five stars! ...

Review of Starbucks

Under the grips of Starbucks

Advantages: Addictive, costly and taking over the world
Disadvantages: good coffee, good service, good selection...

For many years I reveled in my hatred for Starbucks and everything they stood for. I despised them for their corporate branded image. I condemned them for their over the top prices. I recoiled at their growing popularity as one by one they popped up on most city street corners. I categorically refused to be sucked into the brand and for several years avoided every setting foot inside one.

It had been raining in Glasgow for what felt like two years, and as I trailed up Buchanan street in the pitch black, shivering against the wind and trying desperately to ignore the fast stream of water running down the street and over my feet; I felt a warmth radiate ...

Review of Starbucks

Starbucks

Advantages: Nice sized cups of tea
Disadvantages: Pricey, no comfey seats, no trays

store, although the best has been made of the space and it has been made to look quite long. In this particular branch of Starbucks there are no comfy seats, just wooden chairs, so while it is nice to sit down and have a coffee I don't feel like waiting longer than I should (what I would do if seats were comfier!). There are a lot of varieties of coffees so it is an ideal place to go if you are a bit of a coffee expert or addict. There are also teas, smoothies and a selection of other drink, so if you don't particularly like coffee you aren't alienated. There is also a selection of food - sandwiches and paninis, muffins and pastries, etc. I found to my delight the last time that they do low fat muffins (known as the skinny muffins), so you can eat and drink quite healthily there, between the low fat muffins and the smoothies. What ...
