It was not packed, not so good for business but good for me, no queue and a choice of seating. The service was very good. The young women were friendly but not familiar. Coffee was great. Seating, there was a choice and the seats were comfortable and the tables an appropriate height for the chairs. Nice people watching. It is maybe expensive and service stations are which is not good but expected. Altogether a great experience would recommend! PS I may have left a jacket there which is not so good. They do have a telephone number..hoorah!.. but till now you can only leave a message and until now no-one has called me back.

Car parking would be an issue in busy times as its not exactly on a walking route! It does looks like a converted old little chef building, to which they have done a great job! Inside is spacious with a business area large desk and ample seating and great bar style seating even some up at the end of the coffee bar/till area. As usual with Starbucks current business plan, comfy seats a minimum. They take the app for payment and rewards which is an important feature of this franchise store which opened its doors mid summer 2014. All staff were friendly but there were lots if dirty mugs on tables and no napkins in the well used condiment bar area, in fact as I now finish writing someone has at last come out to clean up the place (but didn't replace the napkins) Overall a great store, despite it being a franchise and charging a little more for everything compared to a starbucks owned store, thats one of the immediate tell tale signs, and the location is good as there is no other Starbucks around for miles.

How do I love thee Pippins, let me count the ways. First of all I always have and always will love…read moreyour quiches. They are amazing. They are served warm or cold (and warm doesn't mean soggy, they somehow stay crisp and light) with gargantuan side salads full of pasta and coleslaw and Waldorf and all sorts of lovely things. Varieties include broccoli and tomato, mushroom, cheese and onion, Lorraine, you name it, they've put it together. The sandwiches always taste fresh too. Prawns, egg, cress, all lovely with a cup of tea. The soup is always hearty and warming. The cakes, pies, slices and pastries are astonishing. But the most impressive fact about Pippins is that all this is homemade. Even their salad cream. I've been coming here for a bite ever since I was a little girl, and it hasn't changed a bit since then, apart from extending its opening hours to Sundays (perhaps a symptom of the recession but the fact that it's survived has made me woop with joy, it being open on Sundays just makes it even better). The same orange design, same cute apples with faces, same terracotta tiles, same trays, same kinds of things on the menu (but a wider drink choice and more options for veggies) all at the same great prices. In Pippins, there is a table full of magazines and newspapers to choose from while you eat. They always have a copy of Private Eye. This was our routine, my father and I, we'd grab Private Eye and a few supplements and settle down for lunch or a cake and a cuppa, him with a scone with clotted cream and jam (all homemade) and me with a slice of their stonking lemon meringue pie, their chocolate cake, a Millionaire's shortbread, an almond croissant, a giant cookie... there's just too much to choose from and I'd have them all if my body wasn't bound to reject that much sugar. The staff at Pippins are lovely, always accommodating and cheerful. When I was little I always had a glass of fresh milk with my lunch, it was the only thing I'd drink, and Pippins still to this day has a brilliant milk cooling machine with a poster on it encouraging kids to drink up. It worked on me. I might have switched to caffeine since but it's a great touch. Proper large pots of tea, enough for about two and a half cups accompany a really relaxed, quiet ambience. You could quite easily stay in here all day and it has a lovely view of Southport's main shopping street. It's a stone's throw from the station too, and make sure you walk straight past Nero because when Pippins is on the same street it might as well not even be there. This isn't just one of my favourite places in Merseyside, it's one of my favourite places in the world thus far. It might look a little dated, you might think you're the youngest person in there, but trust me, this adds to its charm. Gorgeous.

From the outside, Pippins looks really old fashioned and like somewhere only your grandparents would venture! There's nothing to entice you in, the café is actually up on the second floor, the entrance is tiny and is squeezed between Phones4U and M&S. After going up a big staircase, you enter the café. It's actually a large sized place, although it still feels quite old fashioned. The decor and ambience are more suited to old people! However they had a great selection of hot and cold food on offer and the prices were very reasonable. It was much busier than I expected, I had visions of us being the only people in the place, but it we were lucky to find a free table! Good place for a bite to eat at lunchtime, or a hot drink.

I called in Costa Coffee today to grab a gluten free cake for my journey home from Wigan…read more I picked up 2 GF Cherry Bakewells for £1.55, Costa is normally good for Gluten free and also sells a brownie. I asked the man if I could use my loyalty card, and indeed he let me and I did, I had 95p on my loyalty card and I wanted to use that on my transaction but he told me, it had to cover the whole item which I know from past experience and the Costa website isn't true. It is hard to review a place where you only went in for pre-packaged food which wasn't made on site, a flying visit like this one but it looked like a nice store as you come in from the Crompton Street car park. It certainly isn't the best cofee shop in this shopping centre and on the streets just outside, I much prefer Starbucks and Caffe Nero to Costa and would rather visit smaller businesses like Muffin Break, rather than the UK giant as they have better cofee, a wide array of gluten free muffins and they are a smaller giant, with under 50 stores, I am sure Costa has this many in Greater Manchester. I feel it is unfair to give this store 1 star, but I don't want to give it higher than 2 because of the following reasons - They is much better a short walk away from here in the Arndale, or on the surroinding streets - Barista could of appeared to be more friendlier - He could of gave me the 95p off that really should of been used on my loyalty card - No Gluten free sandwiches avaliable which really upsets me as Costa and Starbucks used to have a GF wrap until the Christmas period, where they changed for a festive one and since then, not one store has reverted back to an old or different non-christmas wrap based on my numerous visits, if you read my reviews you know how often I go Starbucks so I am surprised to see this is also happening with Costa.

It is a DT location, open until 10 pm daily, which means if you're in a car, or hoping to visit later on in the evening, it does have those benefits which the Starbucks at Marketplace in the town centre does not. The interior was pretty modern and comfortable, they had a nice amount of seating, I do think the tables and seating area could have been cleaner; the tables were not cleaned in the hour or so I was there, and were notably dirty before I had arrived, meaning I had to wipe the table down myself. I'd totally understand if they were short-staffed, but they had multiple baristas who seemed to be standing around and not doing anything, so surely they could have tidied up? Service was a little slow, again there seemed to be staff members not doing anything when they easily could have been helping the queue move quicker or move drinks, the baristas did seem friendly enough, however. My Venti Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte came to £4.80, just under 5% extra compared to a standard corporate-owned store, they do accept Starbucks Rewards here so if you have a free drink you get more bang for your buck compared to most other stores. My drink was fine, they did put in slightly too much of the pumpkin syrup, but it wasn't too noticeable, and it was much better than having too little syrup which other stores sometimes seem to do. 3* - A-OK, not a bad Starbucks store, although cleanliness/pricing remain unsatisfactory.

And near to the shops in the main square. I liked to view the old photos on the walls of St Annes past. All in all this is why i have given 5 stars as i feel on visiting the cafe for the first time it ticks all the right boxes.
