I am a loyal Starbucks customer of many years, so it pains me to admit that this spot is rather run-down and could definitely do with a lick of paint, a good bathroom scrub and some enthusiasm from the other side of the counter. Was recently given a matcha latte in a visibly filthy mug. Not acceptable!

It's in a good spot for university students to study or to waste time before lectures. It has quite a bit of sitting areas for those who want to study. However I found the music a bit loud which could be distracting for some people.

As a regular customer I feel that the place is been let down lately, most of the staff seems to be different all the time and make lots of mistakes. I had 2 wrong coffees in a week. The place itself seems also let down as the cleaning is below average.

Good little coffee shop on a corner of eccy road. Great coffee as always from Starbucks. Went here to organise some filming work with a client, nice and quiet. I'll be back again.

The world's largest coffeehouse chain was founded in 1971. With it's head office in Seattle USA (bizarrely so is Microsoft), it has apparently 36,000 outlets in 84 countries. Income before costs is about £30 Billion a year... that's nearly £1M per coffeehouse each year.... or about £2,000 per day in each café!Wow, so Starbucks is huge, but biggest isn't necessarily best and unfortunately this coffee house didn't exceed expectations. Historically someone named the chain 'Charbucks', as the coffee was apparently on the bitter side and last time we checked (elsewhere) it certainly was. This time we were pleasantly surprised, so the suits have been listening to the word on the street, which is good news.Service was rather mechanical and not too smiley, but the black Americano coffee we tested was much better than expected, and really quite smooth and punchy. The place lacked atmosphere and given it was lunchtime, and not the end of the day, that was surprising. It also looked like it could do with a clean and sweep up, especially the one restroom we checked.So we scored 3* overall, coffee 4*, service 3* but as Google doesn't ask for a rating on cleanliness, we downgraded service to 2*. Atmosphere came in with just 2*.In summary there is something of a service station feel to Starbucks and particularly this outlet. There is better competition on Ecclesall Road, if you want to meet friends and feel appreciated in a relaxing café.

Ordered Vanilla Frappuccino and got Vanilla latte. Looks so busy to listen to and check customers? order properly. Possibly it needs more staffs to serve such many visitors.

My first experience of a Starbucks and my last. £17 for 2 soggy cheese sandwiches not toasted underneath and 2 mugs of coffee on a dirty rocky indoor table. Outdoors full ashtrays on every dirty table. The toilet needed a clean too. Daylight robbery.

Hostile staff. Mediocre yet expensive drinks.They start cleaning away at 5pm, mopping floors and putting tables and benches away when they close at 7pm!It was freezing also when I went which I?m sure was an attempt to get people to leave so they could finish cleaning up.Lazy staff just chatting and being unprofessional.This place needs saving by a good a manger. Sack all the young silly students.I?m no expert but I?m sure they made my drink wrong.

Great drinks and very polite staff although it?s a busy branch so they are often out of certain items such as paninis etc

Always great coffee and food particularly the Cinnamon Swirls ?Just one thing though, you must stop people, mainly students, from monopolizing tables for lengthy periods, particularly when they are not eating or drinking or more to the point, making one purchase last for hours whilst they use the wifi etc.

Not the best. Ordered 3 drinks they took 20 minutes to be served and 5 people how ordered after me were served before we got ours.
