Starbucks in East Dorset

Very quiet when we visited but at least 5 tables were dirty...lots of flies including some dead ones on the windowsills. Toilets were not clean and most importantly, the coffee was undrinkable. Very miserable staff who just want to get rid of you quickly so they can go back to their conversation. Very disappointing.

Starbucks on the A31 near Wimborne is a great place to take a break. Good food and drink. It has EV charging and a Petrol Stn next door. Or a drive thru if your in a hurry

Just walked out, straight on here to review, totally forgot that I have been here before until I saw this supervisor. The most conceited arrogant woman I have ever crossed paths with. I asked for a hot chocolate as I usually do at any other starbucks and it tasted like hot milk. So I politely stated that "im sorry, but this didn't taste right..." and she clearly took it personally and protested that the way she made it, was how they are supposed to be made. I am in no way suggesting that I am a hot chocolate connoisseur, but I do know what hot milk tastes like. She was rude and very self assured, I will not be going back, she needs to be removed from that position and do a non-customer focused role... like a politician 👎

Stopped for a Latte, it was fine but they are a bit pricey.

There’s a reason Starbucks remains my go-to coffee spot, and my recent visit only reinforced that. From the moment I walked in, the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the warm, inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The baristas were friendly and efficient, greeting me with a smile even during the morning rush. I ordered my usual Caramel Macchiato, and as always, it was perfectly balanced—smooth espresso, velvety milk, and just the right amount of caramel sweetness. My friend tried the Pumpkin Spice Latte (even though it’s not fall, but luckily they still had it!) and couldn’t stop raving about the cozy, spiced flavor. We also shared a Double Chocolate Brownie, which was decadently rich and paired wonderfully with our drinks. What I love most about Starbucks is the consistency—no matter which location I visit, I know I’ll get great-quality coffee and service. The store was clean, the music was upbeat but not overwhelming, and there was plenty of seating for both solo work sessions and casual catch-ups with friends. Plus, the Starbucks Rewards program is a game-changer! I love earning stars and treating myself to free drinks. It’s clear they value their customers. Whether I need a caffeine fix, a quick snack, or just a cozy place to unwind, Starbucks always delivers. Five stars without a doubt—I’ll be back tomorrow

I must say very very disappointed!! I order just ordinary capuchino and to my shock when I check my Starbucks account they took over £9 😱 so there was the question 🤔 Why capuchino cost nearly £5 ?? Oh yes they charged me for some frothy capuchino which I did not order at all So I have to say how on earth this is aloud?? I don't need to drink froth I only asked foe normal capuchino! Not happy at all !!! So people please before you pay do check the prices on the board over the heads for exactly everything cost before you ge the nasty shock Never ever come to this place again!!

Me and my Spanish friend Costa visited today - he told me he was going to use a false name for his coffee and it took me too long to get the joke. The Americano and oat milk I had was of the best quality, and it was ace to see Grace back behind the wheel, with her usual cheery warmth. A shout out to Les and Sasha who were also smashing. By the way, Costa used the pseudonym Nero which was probably not the best choice he has ever made. But as a coffee stop, Bucks Corfe Mullen is THE best choice and cannot be beaten.

My favourite coffee delivered hot and delicious :-)

I’m local & embarrassed at the poor standard of customer service at this branch!! The young women serving were disinterested, totally disengaged and frankly quite rude. My order was wrong, there was no apology, no verbal acknowledgment. I really think they need a refresher in their CS skills. Poor show ladies!!!

Love the coffee and the delivery men/women are brilliant. Thank you.

Lovely delicious coffee - thank you.

Delicious hot coffee - thank you.

Always delicious coffee. Thank you.

There are flies, everywhere. You can see them all resting on the lights. On the screens, flying around the areas they make the drinks. When questioned, the staff just say ‘it’s that time of year’. I’ve visited this branch back in November and it had the same issue, littered with flies all over. It’s absolutely vile. They have a massive pest/cleaning problem.

Good place to stop for coffee on the way to Portsmouth. Clean and tidy good service.

Lovely hot delicious coffee. Thank you.

Sort of ok generally, and in grateful for the stop, but a shame in some ways. The teavana brand, only available from Starbucks, used to be a bit special, but they seem to have reverted to a very ordinary blend. That combined with indifferent service and very grubby mug covered tables, and maybe that's just bad timing, earns this franchise only three stars. Still, that said, they had a clean toilet and an adequate carpark, just not as fabulous as Starbucks likes to project.

Great drinks, fast delivery and a warm greeting! Thank you x

My daily coffee was always delicious. Thank you.

I love my daily coffee from this Starbucks - thank you.

Very friendly and efficient team working in a clean and comfortable shop.

Always lovely hot coffee. Thank you.

Great place for break! Starbucks have some great Vegan options, very comfy seating, easy access car park (which is free), drive thru option, staff there always friendly, rest rooms clean, and 2 Instavolt 50kw EV chargers although eye watering expensive ... The only little niggle I have is that Starbucks don't accept cash. 😥

Always enjoy my morning coffee from the branch. Thank you.

This is my favourite Starbucks. Always hot delicious coffee.

Always a great tasting hot coffee from this Starbucks. Thankyou.

This branch of Starbucks is handy if you are travelling west along the A31. We had passed it before but never ventured in, and enjoyed a very tasty toastie and hot drink. I would have given it 5 stars but a lot of the seats are rather worn, and also are too low for me to feel comfortable in when eating/drinking.

This is my favourite Starbucks - always a quick delivery and delicious coffee. Thank you.

Always excellent from this Branch.

Great delivery! Super fast courier!

Toilets were disgusting and coffee was extremely bitter, usually prefer Starbucks coffee but won't be stopping here again

1 of my drink was completely gone as it had spilled everywhere

A little quiet at the time of day I visited, much to my benefit. Some ominous looking signs suggesting max stay 3hrs, so not expecting people to stay and work for any length of time. Reasonable parking but would hate to see it busy.

Food and service as you would expect. Met my daughter for lunch 1st December and we received 2x £60 fines for taking an hour and three quarters. Have been using the restaurants on this site for twenty years. Not certain how long these opportunistic parking charges have been in place, but won't be going there again. Car park three quarters empty. Not a so-called parking service, just a way to make money. Shame on you.

Steer clear of this place if you customise your orders - they have hands down failed EVERY SINGLE TIME for years now to add extra shots to my very simple order I have daily. The best Starbucks in Dorset is the Poole Fleetsbridge store between Lidl and Tesco on the south bound side of the dual carriageway - you can’t go wrong!

Always stop here when travelling down west, decent enough for coffee and toilet break

Very expensive even by starbucks standards

My partner and I visited this specific Starbucks on the way home, for a coffee and a sandwich. We were given takeaway cups with our food wrapped in takeaway packaging. When I asked for the appropriate utilities, I had a very rude reply, “all of our cups/plates are in the dishewasher”. We proceeded to sit down. However, all tables had used cups/plates with old food, the food was both on the table and plates, (this is a massive health & safety food breach). My wife and I had to clean all the residue from the tables. In order to eat our food. The cost to eat in this establishment was £23, for paper cups and dirty tables. It’s absolutely disgusting, that the paying customer has to spend his hard earn money and then clean the area where they want to sit. There were 5 people working there, with very little custom during our stay.

Run by a bunch of disinterested kids with room temperature IQs. Asked to eat in, but were given take away cups and no plates, when asking for a plate we were told they were all in the dishwasher. Perhaps if you cleared some tables rather than sitting around gossiping about who has parked in who's parking space you might actually have done clean crockery. Honestly a complete shambles and a total rip off! Save yourself a trip and get a sandwich from the esso next door, you might actually get a smile and some change!

Not the easiest of places to drive in and out of, road was extremely busy Thought prices were on high side No interaction with baristas Decent coffee though

Disgusting. Disgusting. DISGUSTING! - The service, the cleanliness (or major lack of) and the prices! Use to be a favourite place of mine to visit and drop into, but has SEVERELY slipped over the past 6-12 months. The staff don't appear to have any customer service training... Handing out half-made, diluted and incorrect drinks left, right and centre. Zero signs of effort, understanding or even a smile anymore. Arguing back with customers or laughing at issues isn't smart and doesn't look great from a customer point of view- entire team seems to have given up here. Constantly sniggering into the headsets whilst picking apart customers in store (and not even discreetly!) Drinks aren't even full despite paying through the nose for essentially burnt coffee and fruit diluted water these days... The absolute state of this store is VILE. Dropped litter, empty cups and actually filthy tables, floors and corners around the room are VERY off-putting. Should NOT be allowed in a place that serves food and drink- utterly appalling!! Collection of dead flies and spiders sit in a far corner of the stop and have steadily built up over time and even heard an employee once say to a customer who was offering to move out of the way of their cleaning- "ah don't worry - we don't clean that corner anyway"... Speechless. The toilets are FOREVER gross- rarely stocked with toilet roll and beyond grotty... Never seem to be cleaned even when the shop is empty and the team are all stood chatting with arms crossed behind the counters. All of this whilst the store (and company) continues to raise their prices and this location in particular is already roughly 25p more expensive than any other spot I've visited... Sad to see an old favourite go down hill so dramatically in a relatively short period of time with seemingly no evidence of ANYTHING changing soon. The whole team including management along with the store itself, cleanliness, constant price hikes and absolute non existence of any quality customer service or up-keep means this Starbucks location is too far gone. Avoid this place at all costs- (not just saying that like others would over 'non-issues')...

Lovely and clean although service could have been more with a smile. I know the heats not great to work in but we all have to work in it!

Staff standing around looking at their phones instead of serving. Ordered a black tea, came out after an inordinately long time (because the staff again just stand about looking at their phones instead of serving) with milk because the person taking my order clearly wasn't listening. Took my plates up to the counter at the end, no smile, no thank you. Starbucks seem to be content to populate this shop with surly teenagers

No surprise, but when I visited the Bucks just outside Wimborne today with my Brazilian friend and coffee-loving aficionado Alfonso, everything was as it should be. Alfonso cupped the fresh beans in his thankful hands and said, ‘This for me is quality South America’; he then happily sipped his americano with a joy that I have not seen him display in his two weeks here. I had the cold berry drink which was, as always, a treat. Grace and Sash were characteristically welcoming and friendly - almost like fam now. Good on you, Starbucks 🙌🏻

We stopped here to break up a long drive and give the pooch a chance to stretch it's legs. Service was good inside (it's also a drive through) maybe slightly more expensive than a StarBucks on a high street but the coffee was nice and welcome after our long trip en route to Weymouth. It has time free parking but if you need to stay longer there is a parking permit machine inside you enter your reg onto to extend your stay. Has a nice large indoor area where you can sit and relax while you have your food and drink if you wish. It's off the busy A354 so has little in the way grounds or outdoor seating. Also has charging stations for EV's

Absolutely terrible service. Charged an arm and a leg, charged twice, given wrong 2items. Staff don't seem able to listen to orders. Asked for one given two and charged accordingly. Asked for jam was given honey, staff seemd unable to give instructions about where your order will be. Will NOT be back.

Rude staff and incorrect opening times, says drive through shuts at 9 but it’s 8

No problem with staff but drinks where very underwhelming and toilets are filthy and driers not working

Toilets a mess and tables needed a clean and the floor needed a sweep. Otherwise a ood cup of coffee and easy access off the main road. Friendly staff too.

Dirty toilets. Dirty tables outside. All just looks a bit run down. It wasn't busy so I'd suggest having a quick clean! Good place to charge the car but wouldn't touch the food or drink.

They forgot to give me my defence discount off my bill and wasn't interested when I questioned about it

The summer oat and caramel drink is amazing!

Great place for coffee and chat. Friendly efficient staff.

As the sunshine broke out in Dorset, I pulled into Starbucks Corfe Mullen for a refresher. The red berry cup is recommended - an ice dripper of a refresher. As always the team were ace: great to see Grace back behind the counter with her cheery smile. I love this Bucks!

Great drive through that I use regularly. 14th June the tree above the drive through entrance needs a massive cut but the staff were oblivious or not that bothered that in a fortnight or so anyone with a van, like me, won't be able to get into the drive through unless it's cut.

Stopped off for coffee no food.

Fast efficient services at a reasonable price

Okay for a quick coffee, typically soulless Starbucks.

The most disgusting unhygienic starbucks IV ever been to. Staff all just stood chatting while plates mug everywhere and toilet are foul.

It's a Starbucks. Not much to add. Ok but pricey coffee and sugary drinks to keep children happy. More to life? Probably.

Large car park, ate in but does have drive thru. Coffee as expected, lots of tables and chairs. Clean toilets

Served by a lovely member of staff who was really pleasant at 6:30am! 😁 I was also really surprised by an impulse purchase of a breakfast wrap that was really tasty.

Some of the most disgusting toilets I’ve ever seen. Also does not accept cash but it’s not written anywhere.

I'm disabled and don't normally go out on my own and thought I would attempt to go into Starbucks and have a coffee and a cake as I was early for my appointment. The staff were friendly and didn't moan, question why or pull faces when I asked if someone could carry my coffee to my table which was nice and eased my anxiety. I sat, ate my cake and drunk my coffee which is a massive achievement for me. I will definitely be back when I'm over this way again.

Cold undrinkable coffee. Wrong cake

Love a Starbucks and the staff are always friendly

Got my order wrong initially but was quickly sorted out by staff. The caramelised macadamia oat latte was delicious!

Only had coffee here as passing

The nicest delivery driver i’ve ever had he as so friendly :)

Used the drive through coffee was great

Received PCN please be careful 90 minute parking restriction to use cafe private company so signage not designed to be seen

I only had a chai latte hence the no comment on food , but looks nice.

It's a typical Starbucks. Staff are usually friendly and it's not usually so busy that you can't sit down.

It’s a Starbucks! Nice and friendly staff. Ev charger (125 kw) available in the parking

Used drive through this occasion

Never delivered to me… still no refund ?

A place that never disappoints! Sam and the team pour coffee with love and care. A place to sit and contemplate the Dorset countryside. Always a pleasure 👏🏻👌🏻.

Really, really slow service! 🐌.

Starbucks....always great coffee, what else needs saying!?

I have been there 3 times and on 2 occasions i have pleasant experience but on 1 not so much, i was ignored for around 5 minutes despite the fact i was the only person in line and there was 5 members of staff but i have to say the quality of the latte was very good so i do recommended this shop, is clean and very conveniently located

They don't accept cash! Coffee is okay. Staff are busy talking amongst themselves. Overall not a pleasant experience.

I LOVE Starbucks but felt let down as I had to wait 1hr and 1/2 for delivery.

The food looked fine although, being a Starbucks, they had the usual menu. Bit too sugary for me. Huge plus is the pair of Instavolt chargers which worked well, as usual. Only moderately busy so I had room to unhitch, then charge, gulp down a latte whence it was time to hitch up and leave. Easy access but leaving in an Easterly direction requires patience. Fortunately for me there were several well mannered drivers who gave way. Highly recommended.

👎does not accept cash 👎 recently visited this venue. Firstly it took ages to be served. They were cleaning. When I was served the lady couldn’t have looked anymore disinterested in me. Not that that really matters I don’t expect them to for minimum wage. However, I was told apparently cash is not accepted. Which is not acceptable. We are a sovereign country with a legal tender of cash. Not being able to use that within an establishment that receives tax breaks against our own local business’ is frankly not acceptable. The least your company can do is accept legal tender. Plus, there are no signs in the establishment to say no cash is taken. Which again I am guessing is a ploy to get you to order a drink and force you into paying by card because backing out of the transaction whilst having waited to be served for 7 minutes is unlikely. The next thing I paid full price for a drink they couldn’t actually made because they didn’t have the ingredients. I was offered syrup instead of the hazelnut crumble I was meant to have. No offer of anything. Syrup probably does not come anywhere near the amount of the crumble. But nothing offered there. I wanted my drink with marshmallows. No marshmallows!! The next thing was I was not called - so my drink was half cold by the time I collected it. They made no instigation to make sure I had it either or to call my name again even though there were three of them and no cue. Lastly the tables were dirty and scattered with empty cups. The amount I paid for the drink I quite frankly expect a lot lot better. This establishment falls vastly short of your brand ethos and actually has created a sour taste in my mouth which unfortunately will not be reduced to that store only but under the Starbucks brand. What I will be telling everybody is how awful Starbucks is, how they do not support UK residents and their lacklustre service and poor customer service. Very sad - from what is meant to be a premium brand. McDonald’s could have probably done it better!!

Dirty tables, dirty toilets, unhelpful staff. Avoid!

Twice I've been there and twice the service was non existant! The staff, there were plenty, don't even acknowledge you at the counter, no eye contact, nothing. Even if they are busy with someone on their headset, they should always make eye contact and acknowledge that they have seen you. I walked out. Probably would have got service if I misgendered someone!

Paid £10 for an eggnog latte and a hot chocolate. Prices are expensive and service was ok.

Was over an hour late and part of the order was missing

A welcome stop on the way home, typical starbucks.

The Christmas tree is up and there is a warm festive spirit at Starbucks CM. Sam and the team gave their usual cheery welcome and all is well with the world. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏻

Stopped to use EV charge. Got a coffee. Was good coffee. Good place to stop

Great location just off the A31. Friendly and helpful staff.

It took over an hour to get to us.

Nice place for coffee, but be warned my daughter has £100 parking fine as she was there for a couple of hours doing Uni work on her laptop and having coffee / lunch etc…. The max is 90 minutes. Permit holders only after this time? Be careful!!!!! 😡 not sure how clear this communication is with customers.

Over priced as they all are. Toilets dirty, tables dirty and staff not interested

Lovely delivered on time and hot chocolates were lovely and warm. Thanks Starbucks ♥️♥️♥️

Did not receive delivery said waiting for update for 2 hours then said delivered after 1 hour

Can you believe they don't have any kind of herbal tea in this place? It's supposed to be a coffee/tea place! Thank you

Lovely as always delivered to work for us girls xx
