There is one worker called Emma (brown hair, big lashes) gave me multiple dirty looks and when I requested to have my croissant warmed up, she huffed and then did not do it which lead to me asking again and when she gave it back it was chucked down. Now every time I am there I am given dirty looks which is very unprofessional. However the rest of them are lovely.

I picked up a too good to go bag last night . When I arrived the cafe was closing and although I was standing right next to two assistants I was ignored completely! I asked hello I’m here to pick up a bag, I was abruptly told let me see u swipe I was then pushed in my direction the paper bag . No eye contact no thankyou nothing. I was shocked by the rudeness and lack of customer care !! How ignorant !! I payed £4:00 for this bag of stale food in yet I was treated as if they were giving me something out their OWN pocket grudgingly !! I stood in shock at her attitude (was the manager btw) and looked . To be told thts the bag and she walked away Never in my life hve I experienced such arrogance and rudeness in a Scottish cafe. I did in central London but not here in my home twn !!!! Won’t buy again here . Dirty tables arrogant staff overpriced junk Distrusting attitude !! Livingston ur a disgrace tbh smarten up and hve some manners !!!

We come here at least twice a week since moving to the area a month ago, the service is so slow, there is no urgency and the staff care more about the drive through than customers inside the restaurant. At the moment there are 8 staff members that I can see, the tables need cleaning 4 of which are disgusting.

Really bad customer care. Picked up a Starbucks reusable glass bottle to purchase which was clearly marked as £9.95. When they put it through the till it came up as £10.95. They refused to honour the advertised price and instead insisted on charging me the extra £1. When I challenged her (the assistant manager) on it she says there isn’t a button on the till that can deduct a £1. That it was her that stuck the wrong label on the bottle but they don’t have to honour this by law. Perhaps not… but for your customer care it wouldn’t have been much, would it? What a joke!! She then went on to say she’s happy to pass on my complaint because she’s the assistant manager anyway and if I knew a better way to use their till to be her guest. The end straw was they no longer heated up my cinnamon bun and insisted it’s company policy and it’s always been that way. Funny, because Starbucks is the only place I’ve ever had one and I’ve always had it heated. They really lack the know how on customer care and it clearly comes from the top. Won’t be back anytime soon… plenty other places where they’ll treat me better as a customer and the coffee is good.

Have been to a few Starbucks and normally you know what you are getting. Howvwr the one in Livingston is incredibly poor. Layout of seats is terrible, a few hard seats spread across quite a space.. why? Use rhe space better! Service poor, coffee over milked.. had to guess which ones were ours. Had to ask for them to heat the croissants properly. But hey, the free WiFi is good.

Bit like writing a school report, the title says it all. Food and coffee up to the normal Starbucks corporate mediocre standards but thereafter it falls apart. Tables were certainly not sanitised after use, gents toilet whilst the main surfaces were no doubt cleaned by the staff, the top of the urinals were so thick with dust you could etch the date on it. The lack of competition in the main mall clearly helps business but not one of Starbucks best examples.

Today I visited the drive thru and enquired to the staff about a rewards card and how it worked, the baristas response was very sarcastic and rude and as I sat waiting for my drink I could hear the rest of the staff commenting about my enquiry as if I couldn’t hear them. I was then given the wrong order so asked if it could be changed which they did do quickly after saying ‘did she not ask for this?!’ As if I was lying. Not a great visit and won’t ever be back again. Better off going to the slightly busier Starbucks in the centre as they at least polite.

When even your fav coffee shop fav’s know your aren’t well so decide to make you one of their fav unwell food to drinks. Thanks Fra Hart for this beauty. It’s a proper no well drink. It’s his secret speciality. Anyone popping to Starbucks Drive-Thru Livingston and your aren’t feeling the best or even if you fancy a warm (Christmassy) feeling that’s non alcoholic then ask for Shannon Fra or Sophie. They’ll know what to give you cause they’re the best of the bestest!! To be honest. We visit this place at least once a week for catchup between work and college etc and when either Fra, Sophie or Shannon are on staff the drinks and service are 100%. So always ask for one of these guys.

We decided to get a drive thru breakfast at Starbucks but after waiting around 10mins in the car queue to order we were told they only had one oven working and so it would be a 10-15min wait for food orders!!!! Plus not all their food menu was available so we couldn’t have what we initially decided upon. They also didn’t have any of their new frozen ice teas, which is ridiculous. It’s meant to be a fast food drive thru chain and they are ‘starbucks’ they are worldwide and they can’t compete with other fast food chains and drive thru’s. Service is consistently like this at this store, this will be our final time to them! At least their card machine was actually working this time, it usually is t working and you only get told once you’ve waited ages in the queue and then are stuck in the queue! We’ve complained so many times over the last year but nothing seems to change/improve its just getting worse.

I was in starbucks Livingston this afternoon. I am a middle aged lady and was given a gift card and I had no idea what to do with it. I met the new manager Paul who was very very helpfu, in fact he done everything for me. I merely gave him my reward gift card and he fixed it all and installed it on my mobile phone as I not good doing these kinds of things. I honestly can’t praise this young man high enough, bent over backwards to help. Then once he had helped me with it on my phone I then went to buy a coffee for my friend and I using my card and she was so nice and very pleasant and our coffees went down a treat. So mega thumbs up here. Thanks again folks

Second in queue but it took forever for our two drinks to be ready for us. Dirty dishes meant less choice in where to sit. Two of the seats were filthy as if someone had put their mucky feet on them. When that table got cleared the seats weren't wiped over. There seemed to be enough staff on so no excuse for lack of attention to these areas.

We visited as a group of 7, from 3 to 77 years old. We all had either hot or cold drinks and a snack. The staff were working hard and made us feel welcome. We were served by Gemma, who made the experience great. The place was clean, well set out and friendly. The only issue was that the disabled access door was not functioning. Not a big issue, but would have meant an excellent review rather than very good.

Called in for a coffee on Monday 2nd July, after a long drive from Liverpool, could not believe how dirty and disgusting the inside of this coffee shop was, every table had dirty cups and plates on it, the floors, chairs and tables were covered in crumbs and other un identifiable food stuff, and it was only 10am with next to no customers inside, the staff obviously don’t take pride in the place they work or the image they portray, yet they had the cheek to have someone pick up litter outside. In all honesty it would have been cleaner to sit on the grass outside than inside, I felt like I had to wipe my feet on the way out! If you value your health suggest you eat elsewhere! Time to contact environmental health I think.

Went to this Starbucks with girlfriend and friend and had a coffee, a hot chocolate and a mango smoothie. Man who served us was smiley and pleasant and polite. The drinks took a bit of time but only because this Starbucks also has a drive-thru to deal with so that was fine. The actual coffee tasted good, only criticism was my girlfriend had asked for no cream on her drink but had cream on it but that was ok. The actual seating area was very clean and tidy, didn't get a chance to use the toilet facilities though. Overall, very clean and nice service. This Starbucks is better if you want a quieter atmosphere as the one in the Designer Outlet can be busy and noisy.
