The New Chai latte tea is horrible

The New Chai latte tea is horrible. Why would they so drastically change the taste of a product. As one of the least egregious sugary drink on the menu, they have managed to make a drink that tastes like warm water with a splash of milk. There is no chai spices or tea flavor. Very disappointing. I will never order again until they change it back.

Very caring

Vanessa and Sam at Station Square Starbucks filled up my water container for free with filtered cold water. And when the heat is on it was welcoming. Highly recommended stop. Vanessa also asked if I wanted ice.💗

Nice, friendly, polite and helpful staff.

Ive visited the Starbucks Coffee shop in Preston twice and both times, last visit on 1/5/26 I have received good service from the girl called ISLA, she was very helpful and very patient both times I asked for any help. She is always smiling and happy and always willing to help. I will always visit when I know she's working.

I also received exceptional service from the girl called WERONKIA on the same day. I asked to use the toilets but was very anxious wondering if they were clean so she said she will check and the seat was dirty and i asked her if she could get me a Dettol wipe so I could clean it and she said she will go and check but there wasn't any so she brought some Dettol spray instead and sprayed all the seat with plenty of spray on the seat and all around and spent ages cleaning it just exactly as I would have done it myself. I was speaking to her while she was doing it. She went above and beyond for me doing this and it meant alot. She also helped me with a black bin bag to cover my shopping from getting wet with the rain after speaking to her about it getting damaged.

So disappointed that the original Chai…

So disappointed that the original Chai is still not once again available. The new Chai is horrible! It has no spice, no flavor and no matter how many modifiers are added, it still doesn't matter the original.
After over 20 years of being a very loyal (black reserve) customer I've given up on Starbucks until there bring back the original Chai.

I’d just wanted to give 5 stars!

I’d just wanted to give 5 stars to the manager and staff at The Starbucks in Assembly Sq. Mall. My coffee beverage is always fabulous and the pastries as well. But the friendly staff and taking pride to make my coffee experience wonderful is level beyond words.
Thank YOU!

So disappointed

Oh where to start, after shopping with this company for over 25 years and a barista myself, let me share my dissatisfaction, firstly the change with coconut milk is sad, it is very hard to find filtered coffee consistently and then we I do they charge £2.40, toilets always closed, and then we go into the 40 million class action lawsuit with lead in the coffee! And consistently get bad service!

Good by

I have been a customer of Starbucks for many years and go almost every day. Today was the limit, though. They changed the app page which kicked me out of my app. I had to pay out of another account, and my stars (on double star day!) were not issued. I tried calling twice! Both ladies said "they could not help me" and instructed me to send a copy of my receipt to their "special review team" to get stars added to my account. They also said there was noone else I could speak to about my frustration. After my cards are spent, this is it for me! I'm out!!! They do not make me feel as though they care that I'm a customer for sure!!!

Pork in Chicken Wrap

I would like to provide feedback regarding a recent experience at your Starbucks location near Stansted Airport.

I purchased a Chicken Cheddar Wrap and, after I had already started eating it, I checked the ingredients list. To my surprise and disappointment, I discovered that it contains 6% pork bacon. Given that the product is marketed primarily as a chicken wrap, I found this both unexpected and upsetting. As someone who does not eat pork, I was forced to stop eating immediately and discard the rest of the product.

I believe it is important that any product containing pork is labelled far more clearly and prominently on the front of the packaging. A product described simply as “Chicken” can easily lead customers to assume that chicken is the only meat included. Important ingredients such as pork should never be easy to overlook.

I also raised my concerns with staff in store. Unfortunately, I found their response lacking in professionalism and empathy. While I was not seeking a refund, I had expected my concerns to be acknowledged and handled with greater care and understanding.

Overall, this experience left me feeling disappointed—both by the product labelling and by the level of customer service I received. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and helps improve both ingredient transparency and customer service standards in the future.

Yours sincerely,

Disappointed Uber Driver

Workers don't care to serve

Just came back from Starbucks on Eagleson and Stonehaven. There was one customer sitting and I had held open the door for one before me. I picked up a Rice Crispy square and went to pay for it. There was 6 employees, one serving the customer I just let in. There was nobody in the store. There were 6 staff members, one finished with a drive thru. I made eye contact with the five workers not doing anything. None would come over to take my payment after 10 minutes so I threw the treat back on the counter and left. Star Bucks, soon to be out of business near you.

Whatever happened to customer service?

I called to ask at Starbucks lanyon train station in Belfast what they did with their waste coffee grains… guy behind counter said we bin them…. I explained as I was starting a recycling business and would gladly take the away - He then said need to talk to manager! He said he would have to call head office in Dublin… I explained the other worker said he bins them? No I’ll have to call head office!! So I gave him my contact details.. here we are 3 weeks later- not heard a word from anyone… Whatever happened to customer service? Prob in the same place they dump their coffee!!!

let’s stop pretending

let’s stop pretending: Starbucks charges luxury prices for mid coffee and microwave food. You’re not paying for quality—you’re paying for a logo, a playlist, and a seat near an outlet. Their drinks cost half your paycheck because they’ve convinced the world that a paper cup with a green mermaid is a personality trait. And the food? It tastes like it was cooked in a lab, frozen for six months, and reheated by someone who hates their job. Starbucks isn’t a café—it’s a vending machine with Wi‑Fi. And somehow, we keep thanking them for it.

Thank you.
