I never had any problems at this Starbucks before, until the last day. I was served by a guy who was quite rude (his name started with B, but I prefer not to say his name). He overcharged me, and, when I let him know, he started having a patronising attitude, showing me the ticket as if this was the evidence that he was right (which is absurd). I then told him that the prices on the screen were different, and he continued to deny it. Luckily, his co-worker showed up and proved me right. B had been wrong all along. B didn't apologise or acknowledged his error; he just let out an exasperated sigh, as if this whole thing was my fault.

The guy who records my order this afternoon around 5pm made me really emotionally uncomfortable :(( I just simply said I want no ice in my drink, and he did a really “interesting” face (you can imagine). I don’t know why he did that cuz I do have own medical reasons for not drinking ice.……. just realized how offensive that is to me. A really bad experience at this Starbucks!!!

During my recent visit to Starbucks, I encountered a noticeably quiet atmosphere as the store was nearly empty. This lack of busyness, however, did not translate into the level of customer service I had anticipated. The staff, particularly a blonde woman wearing glasses, displayed a lack of warmth and hospitality. There was an absence of a welcoming greeting or any semblance of customer engagement. Moreover, the preparation of my cappuccino fell short of Starbucks' usual standards. Despite the store being uncrowded, she rushed the process, particularly in the creation of the foam. This hurried method didn't allow the foam to properly settle, a key aspect of a well made cappuccino. In quieter moments, I would expect a more meticulous attention to detail, especially considering Starbucks' reputation for quality. This experience was a departure from the usual Starbucks standard, where customer service and product quality are typically prioritized. The lack of busyness in the store should have been an opportunity to elevate these aspects rather than neglect them.

Cara makes the best Matcha Tea. Yesterday I went to another Starbucks and got a Matcha Tea and it was made horrifically however my partner got one from here and Cara made it perfectly. She couldn't have been more pleasant and lovely as a Barista and a person. There was another lady who I'm really sorry I didn't get their name but it really seems that Starbucks is lucky to have some lovely people working in this one 😁.

The staff who received the order was very kind. But the staff who made the coffee with the name starting with n was really unpleasant. She put my drink on the pick-up table without calling my name. And soon another customer took my drink. I had to explain to the customer that it was my drink. The staff didn't care about this situation. The staff called out the previous guest's name, but why didn't she call my name? It's like racism. Thank you for making unforgettable memories.

There are two Starbucks on Leith Street, one of which is at the entrance to the St James centre and is the subject of this review. Whereas most coffee chains aim for a relaxing cosy atmosphere to encourage custom, the interior design of this branch seems designed for the entirely opposite and with its large open space, bland decor and a weird seating plan it has no welcome feel to it at all. With four of us sitting side by side on a bench seat against the wall it felt like being in a bus station.
