Starbucks Coffee, Broadgate — Restaurant in London

Stepped into Sheshforsomebucks, hoping for a pick-me-up in the heart of London's perpetual chill. The place seemed to have mastered the art of indifference – the staff's enthusiasm matched the weather outside, grey. I half-expected a barista to greet me with a monotone "Welcome to Sheshforabucks" as if it was just another mundane chore but no.

The menu flaunted prices that could rival the city's rent, leaving my wallet lighter with each sip. Maybe they had infused the coffee with a rare bean found only in the peaks of Mount Zion. As I contemplated my life choices, the barista seemed to be an NPC from 2001, skillfully crafting and skipping my order without a flicker of emotion but a side eye.

The ambiance, akin to a grayscale Instagram filter, lacked the warmth promised by the steam rising from the coffee cups. It was as if the interior decorator took "minimalistic" and "suits" the series and a tad too seriously. I half-expected a tumbleweed to roll across the polished floors, mirroring the barren enthusiasm in the air.

In the end, Sheshforabucks was an experience in mediocrity, where the coffee's personality matched that of a damp newspaper. Perhaps they should consider renaming it "Meh-presso." If indifference were an art form, this coffee joint would be a masterpiece. But hopefully they add a play park with ballswimmi pool like FastDonnals. But it gives you nice place to seat, heating and electricity to charge your devices. So for that...

Sorry but will have to disagree with all the other comments here. This is the WORST Starbucks I’ve ever been to. Staff is not friendly and doesn’t understand a single word you’re saying. 2 weeks ago, online orders weren’t coming through… I had to wait almost 10 mins and ask someone what was going on to be advised that it didn’t work. They did take my order verbally, but had to wait another 8-10 mins before picking up my coffee… Customer service is a big 0. A month ago I had enough points on my Starbucks Card to get a free drink. I had to tell her 4 times that I wouldn’t need to pay for it and yet again… she charged me for it! She then tried to fool me by saying she wasn’t able to refund me!! Unbelievable! This also happened the other day with the lady just in front of me… My guess? As a franchise, they’re trying to charge customers for the free drink so that we’ll go to another salon to spend our points! This store has been open for 6 months+, I just won’t believe that the staff might be undertrained. Get a...

I had a voucher from SSP for £20. The voucher states that it can be used at any SSP UK outlets. However, once I got there and presented the voucher, the staff had no clue about this and called the supervisor. The supervisor then saw the vocuher and laughed at me saying that it not real and that there is no code on it so they cant do anything. They then told me to try the other store within the station and sent me away. When I went to the other store they didnt acknowledge my vocuher either and said they are not sure of this either. I was fully disappointed and disgusted by the way how I...
