Starbucks Review No.1 : Embankment WC2

Starbucks is one of my (and I know quite a few of my friend's) guilty pleasures. According to the Starbucks website there are 139 Starbucks in London alone, I've probably visited about half...eeek! Tonight I visited Embankment WC2.

I know y'all can't wait to hear my first review, so hear goes.
It's a rather small branch tucked away in a corner right outside Embankment Tube station on the Charing Cross side. The branch, although small, can suprisingly hold quite a few customers so that's a thumbs up...the cleanliness was lacking but the coffee quality was on the mark.

Bonuses of the location include it being a great people watching area (one of my favourite past-times), it's proximity to central London and transport in general.

All in all it was a pleasurable visit, I wouldn't go out of my way to re-visit but it's nice knowing it's there anyway should I be at Embankment and erm...want a coffee?

Now for the all important marking : I give this Starbucks 4 mochas out of 10.

  1. As a seasoned Charing Cross commuter I can tell you that Starbucks is just for the tourists! If you walk just 50m up Viners Street there is a massive starbucks with nice comfy sofas. I hope to see it reviewed soon!
