Tier Achieved:
Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.
The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest β your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.
Starbucks - Vivacity is a clean but uninspiring pit stop for your caffeine fix. You can count on the coffee being solid, and the staff seem nice enough, with Ashraf Douglas giving it a solid 4 stars for friendly service. But donβt expect to escape the heat - John Evans pointed out the place feels like a sauna under those massive sunlight-trapping windows. Iβm all for natural light, but Iβd prefer not to bake while I wait for my overpriced caffeine.
And donβt get me started on the order woes. Lili's Lavender Latte debacle is a case study in how to let a customer down β the app said it was ready, but apparently, the staff have other priorities. If you fancy a no-frills coffee without much excitement, maybe put on your shades and deal with the heat, but itβs not exactly where dreams are brewed.
"Great coffee, friendly service and social distancing."
"The staff are great, but the place is a furnace."
"Could do with some blinds on the windows."
Starbucks - Vivacity, London β Food Hygiene Rating: 5/5
