It was snowing badly so I needed a break and coffee but without leaving the road too far. I knew…read morethere was a Costa at the service area but nearer was a Starbucks. I decided to pop into the Starbucks. Parking was a nightmare with no-one following the signs. But, I needed a coffee. I must admit this was the worst coffee stop ever. Lousy coffee, so bitter. Staff did their duty and served but a smile would have gone a long way. Toilets, those that were open, were filthy. Need I say more????? I wouldn't stop here ever again.

This Starbucks was one of the few things (along with a McDonald's, a BP and couple of food stands)…read morewithin walking distance of the HI Express at which I was staying near Stansted. The convenience made it the only real option (I avoid McDonald's except for breakfast) I had if I wanted to take even just a coffee break while staying there. But in spite of the fact that it was a default choice of sorts, it was actually a rather nice facility. I liked the design as there were plenty of windows, which facilitated a rather pleasant environment on the sunny day I visited. The staff were fine in terms of being polite and efficient though I did get a slight sense that they were less than excited to be there. But it was also the end of their day (I walked in between 7:30 and 7:45 and they closed at 8 PM) so I'll cut them a bit of slack. The coffee was up to expectations as were the prices. I saw some complaints about the parking and I can imagine it can get very difficult at times as they share a car park with McDonald's. However, I walked there so "problem solved" for me. Overall, this was a reasonably nice spot for a coffee and lived up to my expectations for a Starbucks.

The seating area is shared with the bar next door, and let's be honest if it was later in the day that's the side I would have been in. Seating is comfortable but limited, there is a departure flight screen in there which helps. A simple and functional coffee shop.

Sometimes, I'll get a sandwich as well and I've never had one I didn't like. Granted, it is at an airport bus stop so there are no bells or whistles but it's pretty high quality and a comforting touch to a bus stop. You an also either sit inside or outside. Recommend!

I had waited for a second or two to see if he realized his mistake, but to no avail and so I told him I handed him the 10 pound note and he suddenly remembered and gave me back my 5 pound note. I don't like being ripped off.

The green juice I had was packed with vegetables (broccoli, kale, spinach) and the sandwich had avocado and cheese. Knowing that the food in Northern Ireland was going to be a bit on the heavy side, having a vegetable-filled snack was the way to go. The seating was comfortable and the service friendly. I would certainly visit again.

There were MANY people seeking places to sit, to order food, drinks at Stansted. The gate locations wouldn't update on the Departure doors until 45 minutes prior to departure so there were a ton of people located directly in front of Starbucks as thats where most of the Departure marquees were located. The clean-up crew at Starbucks was fast and immediate. As soon as someone left, they were there to clean and prepare for the next customer. When we were in line, they had one person on a headset taking pre-orders and many staff behind the bar to make the orders. The wait was not long even though the lines were long. This location was very organized at 0530 in the morning! We were quite impressed and I hope this review reaches them. They did a fantastic job and I really enjoyed my Gingerbread Latte and Regular coffee. However, I had no idea hot drinks weren't allowed on the plane so I had to toss it out when we reached the gate. :( I only had three sips.
