Genuinely worst ‘flat white’ ever tasted. Starbucks always serve this in cup and saucer, this was in mugs. I rarely complain but it was undrinkable, so weak and odd taste. Was offered extra shot but this was not the answer. Just don’t know how to make it. Was told they’d used right ‘recipe’ but was completely wrong. When I said we we drunk a lot of coffee the reply was that she made a lot of coffee!!!! Both left full cups after visiting only usable disgusting toilet, was NOT that days filth, needs a deep clean. Used to be one of our favourite Starbucks but no longer.

The drive through served me a caramel macchiato with now coffee shot in it. I had a cup of hot milk with caramel sauce. By the time I'd started drinking it we were far enough away that we couldn't justify going back

I had the misfortune of visiting this place again today after a year and it hasn’t improved. Tables had rubbish on them and dirty and it wasn’t busy. No cakes on display but all thrown into a large plastic container so that members of the public could cough over them. I visit a lot of Starbucks throughout the country. This one is an absolute disgrace.

After seeing the reviews before hand I was a little apprehensive. However not knowing the area I decided to give them a chance. So glad I did, greeted with a warm welcome ordered a latte and breakfast roll, both were delicious and didn’t have to wait either! During my visit, lots of customers some seemed to be regulars, others like myself passing through, I witnessed the warm welcome extended to each of them!

Worst Starbucks !! Decided to have a drive through Starbucks. Wish we hadn't bothered at all. Nearly a 15 minute wait with only 2 cars Infront of us. To receive 3 X stale, dry (no butter ) bacon rolls to go with a mocha ! Unreasonable length of time to wait for poor quality items

I have visited many times but just giving up now.. they never can get the order right. On my last visit which was today, i asked clearly for soya chai latte but they used semi skimmed milk. Charging £10 for two drinks but cannot get order right. Just useless, I will not visit again.

The service was dreadful asked if it was takeaway or eat in. It was eat in and still had paper cups. The staff were more content on talking to one another on intercom. The tables and floor was dirty.

5 behind the desk yet seems to take ages to get your order…and yet they still manage to mess something up…better off in McDonald’s or Greggs if your in Carmarthen…they should replace this place with a Costa!

I've become a regular to this store as I find the staff much more polite here than the one in St Clears . Tom always makes my day when he's on shift he's extremely professional and polite and always has good product knowledge as I'm diabetic and sometimes unsure of what I can drink . Great upwelling skills also as my daughter really wanted a tumbler Thank you for making this a home from home where you can sit relax in a lovely atmosphere Thank you With love Hannah

I ordered a Grande Coffee frappuccino - it very thin and watery - I doubt they had even put the double shot in I asked for - I asked for it to be thicker they added ice that is all it tasted of - it was disgusting. half the container was literally ice How come all the other restaurants can manage an excellent drink but Carmarthen do not deserve the business - please who ever the manager is - can they retrain the staff to serve a decent drink!!!

This Starbucks is in a very convenient location and is a lovely size. The staff however are very rude, couldn’t care less and have no knowledge of their products. In addition there was hardly anything In stock. When asked what the difference between a signature and classic hot chocolate was, the staff member just shrugged their shoulders and said ‘I don’t know’. The toilets were also disgusting. To top it all off, we paid extra to stay in only to have our drinks on paper cups. I would honestly avoid and just have a coffee in the Morrisons cafe.

The service is horrendous. Due to its convenient location, being out of town, we’ve given this place plenty of chance. My comments are not based on a single visit. The service is awful- the staff are totally uninterested and rude. The service is unbearably slow even though they have plenty of staff working. The store is dirty and the toilets are disgusting. Clearly not much cleaning going on. This store has had its last chance and we won’t be returning!! The Starbucks brand should be embarrassed.

Come on Starbucks, learn how to use air conditioning, you are blasting out cold air in October. I get it, you don’t want customers to linger, is that your game plan? This is not the USA, we don’t even need air con in July! Flat whites have improved in this one but they get cold pretty quickly.

i asked for a LARGE caramel cream frap and got a regular one. After i questioned them about it, they said that it was the large size. Another order was also wrong as we ordered an iced white mocha without cream and not blended and we had it back with cream and blended even thought it said on the cup ‘without cream’ Didn’t even taste nice.

I go into this Starbucks at least once a week and every time the staff are slow and never smile!! Today I went in and was served and waited for my coffee and a que started to form behind me waiting to place their orders but the member of staff decided to put away their order and looked at the que and carried on what she was doing!!! Every time I go in here the service is very slow and the staff have an attitude problem!! Can’t wait for Costa to come to the area! Better coffee and hopefully better staff too!

Met up with friends as they were holidaying in the area. Great coffee with breakfast baps and the excellent fruit toast. The two male members of staff who were on duty were very polite and helpful. The facilities were spotlessly clean as usual and I love the special touch of a water bowl for the doggy members of the family too. We call in here occasionally and all the staff have always been very welcoming.

The floor and tables were covered in food crumbs . No one came over to clean them and it was difficult to find somewhere clean to sit . Cinnamon bun was offere warm but seemed a little on the stale sideToilets were filthy . Very disappointing.

We stop here regularly, but the place is going downhill. Yesterday the cinnamon buns were stale, the coffee was bitter and the toilets all filthy. I have never seen any staff member cleaning them or even checking on them. My husband reported to the staff weeks ago that the hand dryer in the gents wasn’t working, it’s still not. Costa is opening shortly in the area, if the low standards here continue we will use that instead.

It’s in a convenient place just off the A40 towards Carmarthen (outside St Clears). I think it used to be a Little Chef. My son and I popped in for a much needed pit stop on our way to Laugharne. It’s a nice looking place. We ordered coffees, porridge pot and water. We also ordered some ready made sandwiches. We were the only customers at the ordering bar. A lady took our order, took our money and promptly disappeared.We busied ourselves looking for spoons and napkins. A new customer arrived and stood near us looking at the menu boards. A new member of staff suddenly arrived and bossily asked us what we wanted. ‘We are being served thanks’ came my response. ‘Then move down the counter’ we were told. in no uncertain terms. Ok ok I now realised that our original server was behind the counter a bit further down banging out our coffees. They have a process, and of course everyone in the world knows what it is. Move on down. Except this is remote west Wales. We kinda dropped out a long time ago, long before coffee shops turned into mega brands. And we do like a bit of friendly customer service that doesn’t assume we ‘know the drill’. Suitably admonished we picked up our items and legged it.

We had a delicious meal from the lunch menu which is great value. One of the best salads I've had in a long time and made extra delicious with the garlic bread from the starter menu. My daughter loved her food from the child's menu which was great value. Glad we booked as it was busy but all the staff were working hard and so accommodating. We will definitely return! Highly recommended.

The staff are friendly and welcoming. Food was average at best. Myself and my partner had steak, we ordered sauces to accompany the steak however they did not arrive with the meals. When I went to ask as no one had come back to the table they hadn’t even cooked the sauces so we were half way through our meals before they arrived. When they did arrive they were very watery and tasteless…I assume as they’d been rushed to be made. They did apologise and took the cost of the sauces off the bill. I asked for my steak to be cooked medium and it came well done. I hardly ate any of it and when they asked how food was I said the steak wasn’t very nice and overcooked however didn’t receive any apology or offer of a refund it was shrug of the shoulders and that was it. I did find that the young girl serving our food and drinks leaned over me constantly, once tipping a drink all over my arm. There were no restrictions for her to walk around the table but she still constantly did it. This doesn’t bother me normally but it was every time a drink came or she served food…..don’t be lazy just walk 5 steps around the other side of the table. We went on a Saturday night and booked a late sitting, by 21.30 they had brought us the bill (which we hadn’t asked for) and by 22.00hrs they cleared all our glasses away and then they turned the lights off in the room as I assume a hint for us to leave. This was exactly the same as last time we attended over a year ago it feels like you’re forced out when it would be nice to sit and have a few drinks after food. We waited a year since attending last due to the situation at the end of the night, on that occasion the food was actually really nice. On attending recently the food had gone downhill too so we won’t be returning. There are much nicer restaurants close by where the food is much nicer and the staff don’t make you feel like you have to leave early on a Saturday night.
