Tastes off/mouldy. I ordered a coffee from Uber eats, and this also happened with a drive thru order previously. The gingerbread latte can be the best gingerbread latte from any coffee chain (better than Costa and CaffĆØ Nero) but recently Iāve had inedible (undrinkable?) gingerbread lattes from this Starbucks. I think something must be wrong with their syrups. I have just spent Ā£6 for a coffee as a treat whilst I finish an assignment, and was looking forward to it. And it not only tastes like dirt/mould, (it smells great!) but now Iāve taken a few sips (I thought there was something wrong with me, but other people agree) I now have a bad stomach. I feel really bad saying this, because I am a regular at this Starbucks. Whenever I need a pick-me-up Iāll go to the drive thru and get one of the drinks/treats. The staff are friendly and lovely, and until the other day with the drive thru gingerbread latte (which I shrugged off as a one-off) Iād never had an issue. On the contrary, Iāve had nothing but lovely times (apart from waiting queues, but is not the staffs fault when 5 cars turn up at once lol!). What Iād like to do is just ring up the shop to let them know the issue, so they can figure out the issue, but you canāt ring the store, the number here just goes straight to the head Starbucks office, which tells you to go onto email/Twitter. So it leaves me here. In general, this place is great. Wonderful really, with friendly, lovely staff. But these two mouldy lattes, (after having such wonderful gingerbread lattes previously) has left a bad taste in my mouth (literally). It feels like a health and safety issue, and Iām so sorry to say it. I hope the staff sees this message and are able to figure it...

My experiences at the Starbucks adjacent to Budgens off the A370 have been a mix of positives and negatives, reflecting a somewhat varied experience:
Quick Service, Modern Setting: For the most part, the service at this Starbucks is commendably swift, ensuring minimal waiting times. The cafe's modern ambiance adds to the overall appeal, providing a comfortable space to enjoy your drinks and snacks.
Accuracy Concerns in Orders: However, during one visit, my vegetarian girlfriend ordered the Egg White Bites with Three Cheese & Red Pepper but was served Egg Bites with Three Cheese & Ham instead. While her dietary needs were unaffected this time, such errors are significant for those with specific dietary requirements and cannot be overlooked.
Convenient Amenities: On the positive side, the Starbucks is conveniently dog-friendly, making it a welcoming spot for pet owners. Additionally, ample parking and the option for both drive-through and dine-in service add to the convenience factor, catering to various preferences.
Location and Ambiance: Situated next to Budgens, this Starbucks benefits from a convenient location for those passing by. The modern aesthetic of the cafe enhances the overall experience, providing a pleasant environment for customers to relax and enjoy their beverages.
In summary, while the Starbucks near Budgens off the A370 offers quick service, modern ambiance, and convenient amenities such as dog-friendly policies, ample parking, and both drive-through and dine-in options, its inconsistency in order accuracy raises concerns. I hope this issue is addressed promptly to ensure a more reliable and enjoyable experience for...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe place serves a standard selection and quality of Starbucks, but prices are way above average whilst nothing really justifies them. I ordered regular drink and was served (and billed) for large. My drink was served in a mug with no tray, no spoon, milk was served in a paper espresso cup. Most of seating available on site is a low profile and substantially inconvenient to seat. Also music played in this place is somewhat annoying. Weston is not known for coffee shops selection, but there are better options as easy accessible from motorway as this one. Itās worth to mention that reg plates are scanned at the entry to this Shell premisses, the policy allows 30 mins stay, but Starbucks claims 90mins max parking time. I once received a penalty at these services for awaiting too long. Not...
