Starbucks Melrose Arch — Restaurant in Gauteng

Nestled in a corner with very little outside parking. Close to the lower end (perfume section) of Edgar's in melrose arch.

A absolutely utterly amazing environment. From the warm wood finishes to the friendly and welcoming staff. A absolutely Must stop on a day out if you in the area. The ambient environment is very warm, welcoming and homely with the staff always willing to help and very bubbly. It's a almost home away from home. A little reprieve from the gloomy winter days.

We go for the coffee and the excitement and return frustrated and having wasted an early morning. It's not about the cool free stuff, it's about the principle. I have been to many Starbucks stores around the world, and sadly Melrose Arch you are possibly the worst and may not last long after this first birthday with such unorganized chaos and disrespect for...
