Starbucks

Super fast wifi and plenty of plugs for laptops - perfect for remote working in Stamford

Reliable coffee, you know what you’re getting, that’s why people go to chains. Nice oat milk mocha.

Tastefully decorated Starbucks with character. Spacious seating with plenty of power outlets and friendly baristas.

Lovely hard working team. Sakthi and Ash are really friendly and helpful

I’m pleased to see that Starbucks have finally come to Stamford. This quaint market town in the south of Lincolnshire is full of small independent coffee shops, which is nice and all, but when you’re looking for consistency of both consumables and venue, you need a familiar face.

This new store situated in the heart of Stamford brings a large, open plan, bright and fresh feeling seating area, with a large 8-seater table, relaxed seating at the back and 5 4 seater tables for the productive ones to sit and work.

Its clean, fresh feeling makes it a delight to while away a morning of emails and other boring business stuff, studying and education or reading. There are more power sockets than you can wave a stick at and the WIFI in the area has recently been upgraded, which is reflected in Starbucks WIFI infrastructure. My Productivity in this store is higher than in the dark, somewhat outdated costa coffee adjacent to the premises.

The staff are clearly trying their best at what they do. It's a new store, and some teething issues can be apparent, but staffing has seemed to be at a steady level to cope with the morning, lunch and afternoon rush. The ladies behind the counter already display a good knowledge of the menu and provide a fast and efficient service. Over my three visits since opening, the store has proved popular, but the staff have handled it with ease.

My normal choice of a basic blonde roast caramel latte doesn't channel the baristas in any way, shape or form. Unlike the costa coffee across the road, a Starbucks latte always provides a rich, creamy texture and taste with its small layer of foamed milk, and its larger layer of steamed milk. The Starbucks way of crafting fine coffee has been taught to these baristas and they execute it perfectly. No complaints in the coffee department.

The standard offering of food is on display as soon as you walk in, and the well-presented glass cabinet of sweet treats has made a comeback, albeit a little smaller and out of proportion for the size of the large, white sweeping counter which dominates the store.

The only things to work on are little teething issues which are apparent in any new store, Starbucks or not. I have no doubt in my mind that these very minor, so-called issues will be fixed within no time at all.

My three visits, now turning into many more, have shown that the staff are passionate about their jobs. When looking up from my MacBook, I am presented with a clean, fresh, modern store, with smiling, friendly faces warmly greeting those coming through the door. A particularly shoutout to Cortney - who always appears to be mid flow in a well-choreographed dance of beverage making mixed in with a poetically flowing charm on the till. All the staff work hard at this store, and it shows. It’s always spotless, provides great services and coffee, and is a welcome site on a Monday morning. This will be my new go to office for my Stamford based adventures.
