Very convenient but drinks not great. This Starbucks is located next to platform 4 at the train station and closes at 8pm. Rather than the solo takeaway coffee shops without seats, Starbucks actually has an indoor building to sit down and drink, otherwise it’ll cost you 5p extra for a takeaway cup. There is a decent amount of seats to accommodate for customers with access to sockets to charge any devices, this is great when needing a quick charge and when waiting for a train to arrive. The staff are friendly and quick to serve food and drinks. I noticed drinks are a bit more pricey at this Starbucks, most likely because it’s at a train station. I ordered a grande roasted hazelnut macchiato which costed £4.20 which tasted okay, nothing special and it wasn’t hot.
Overall, it’s a Starbucks which costs a bit more than usual with indoor seating and it costs you a bit extra for a takeaway cup. A good place if you want to sit in somewhere...

We will go to the one in the frenchgate centre instead in future which is more welcoming and the staff have customer...

Some ladies sat in the other section and a different staff member advised them to leave. The staff member threatened to bring station staff if they didnt. They were quietly merry but were well behaved; seemed unnecessarily OTT to me and made me feel uncomfortable just seeing it. Chap stomped around a bit more later; cringe worthy. Not a great example of...
