The Good Stuff
Friendly Team
Several reviews describe approachable baristas who suggest drinks and handle customised orders smoothly.
Quick Orders
One review found the team approachable and the order especially fast, with helpful new-drink suggestions.
Matcha Option
The iced matcha latte was described as smooth and not overly grassy, making it a reliable non-coffee choice.
Food Break
A customer enjoyed the chicken starch’s flatbread as a quick bite alongside an iced matcha latte.
Morning Calm
The mall and seating were reported to be quiet in the morning for work and study.
Tips for a Better Visit
Go Morning. For quieter work or study, try the morning period; one review specifically found the mall quiet then.
Check Temperature. If ordering hot coffee, check it before leaving: one customer received hot coffee cold three times.
Inspect Delivery. Check Deliveroo bags and cups on arrival because reviews mention missing items, spills and half-full drinks.
Ask Freshness. Ask when pastries were baked before buying; one review questioned the stated freshness of a chocolate doughnut.
Try Matcha. If you want a non-coffee drink, the iced matcha latte was described as smooth and not too grassy.

The Bottom Line
Starbucks works well for a straightforward coffee break, a quick bite or a place to sit with a laptop. Reviews mention the iced matcha latte, Toffee nut latte, Iced Caramel Macchiato and breakfast items, while the chicken starch’s flatbread was a surprisingly tasty accompaniment. The branch also has pastries and muffins for a lighter stop.
The setting is one of its stronger points. Customers describe a relaxed, spacious area with natural mall light, and one review found it quiet enough for work and study in the morning. Another called it a chill place for an Iced Caramel Macchiato and chocolate muffin.
It can also suit reading, emails or a casual catch-up rather than a rushed takeaway. Service is uneven. Many reviewers praise approachable baristas, fast orders and useful drink suggestions, but others report rude interactions, incorrect drinks and poor handling of customised requests.
Coffee quality has also varied: a Grande latte was called watery and overly hot, while another customer received hot coffee ice cold on three occasions. If ordering delivery, check for missing or spilled items. For pastries, ask when they were baked, as one customer questioned the freshness of a chocolate doughnut.
