Starbucks in Wakefield

I didn’t like the fact that you can’t use your own WiFi as it’s blocked there

Service was a slower than I've experienced at other establishments (approximately twice as long for the wait for the order, and we were the only customers at the counter). The seating area was spotlessly clean, but the aircon was set a little low. I'm pretty good in the cold, but I even had to keep my jacket on. Someone must have commented 'cos in the last 5 minutes of our stay, the temperature improved.

First time visit to a Starbucks ordered a frappuccino and was given and drove away, 2 minutes later I had a drink and it tasted watered down as they had made it with crushed ice like the type you have in a slush. The frappaccinos I normally have are made with ice cubes not slush. Waste of money

Great panini. Friendly staff. Nice building, plenty of comfy seats.

Nice Starbucks. I used this place for a meeting and it was good for that.

I didn’t catch the names of the staff but whoever you had rota’d in at around 18:20 on the 01/03/25 they are the sweetest bunch and made my evening singing happy birthday to me and wishing me a happy birthday when going to collect my free birthday drink 🫶🏻 an absolute star bunch of people!! (May i also add this iced caramel macchiato is the best one i’ve had in so long!!)

Too expensive compared to similar establishments surrounding it. Nice coffee but far too expensive, much cheaper options all selling similar coffee all within walking distance.

The usual feel of a Starbucks. Consistently good coffee and foods. Quite a busy place at times which doesn't make the atmosphere feel cosy, but as they say ....it is what it is! Facilities are fine, as is free parking. Quite a large car park, but can be a little tricky if turning right out of the car park at peak times, as the joining road is at a busy junction. Easy access for wheelchair users and parking. Yes it has a drive through. Friendly staff and didn't wait too long for my drinks etc. Good amount of places inside for laptop use and phone charging etc Thank you

Nice looking store and it was clean tho at 07:30 you'd expect it to be. Had to remind barista it was whole milk, if they put blond roast in my coffee it is out of calibration 🤮, but I'm sure it was the normal roast they use. And to top it off it was more like a cappuccino than a latte. Please guys at this time on a morning you should be at top of your game. I'll be in later for a refund…..

I'm very thankful to Starbucks team as the bad weather hit Wakefield recently I got stuck in snow on a early Sunday morning just outside their premises before the main junction. I managed to get the car off the road just up the car park acces road when a lovely girl part of the staff offered her assistance if she can help me in anyway, even a coffee to brighten up my day. They borrowed me a scraper tool to create a parking space for the car as I was going nowhere; I eventually managed to set off a bit later with a wonderful cappuccino on the house; lovely people Thank you to every single one of you that gave me support that day. Much appreciated. Bogdan

Visited twice in the last month or so and had amazing service from Tanya. I visited with 2 young children and Tanya brought the drinks to my table without me requesting as well.as checking if the kids would like a babycino. The small gestures are appreciated

It has long been a mystery to me why people were fooled in Hans Christian Andersen's folktale The Emperor's New Clothes, to actually believe they COULD see his new clothes!!!! Well today I met the equivalent of this well-loved tale. My husband and I were asked to join some friends to have coffee at Starbucks on Heath Common. We both had reservations about this as we had only experienced coffee in Starbucks a good few years ago and were so under impressed by the tasteless coffee that this is the first time we have crossed a Starbucks threshold since then. We really do wish we could understand how so many people can bear to drink what can only be described as flavoured water and be happy to pay £3.34 for a small Americano. We both adore coffee and it is the only hot drink I have. We like it strong with no milk or sugar and know our coffee beans. To say we were appalled by what Starbucks serve is an understatement-how have they managed to garner such a following? Is it a fact, just as in Andersen's tale, that no one dare admit that they actually can't see what is good about it? To add to the ghastly coffee there is absolutely no atmosphere in the place-it resembles an aircraft hanger. The din from the scraping chairs and the volume of people's conversations (including ours because we had to raise our own voices to make ourselves heard between the four of us) and a young couple with an extremely loud barking dog which they obviously had no control over but seemed to find amusing, all added to a most unpleasant experience. I paid by card but was most surprised that my friend couldn't pay with cash. What on earth is that all about?I suppose Starbucks will say it's for staff safety because no cash is kept on the premises. In conclusion, Starbucks should get to the Greggs school of coffee making and anyone who doubts this should give it a whirl. You'll be most surprised if you actually are brave enough to taste real coffee.

Called in today went up to counter to be told I couldn't pay with cash. I had forgotten my card as it was just a spur of a moment thing so we had to leave. Called at Costa who were happy to take cash. Personally think it was discrimination

Eggnog latte season is the best 👍

Starbucks Review Starbucks is a bit of a mixed bag. The coffee is consistently good—whether you’re into a classic black coffee or a more elaborate latte, you’re likely to find something you enjoy. However, the food is definitely on the expensive side. While it’s tasty enough, the price tags often make you think twice about grabbing a bite to eat. The atmosphere can be a little confusing. Is it a coffee shop or a remote office? On any given day, the place feels more like a co-working space, with people glued to their laptops and on Zoom calls. It’s great if you’re there to work, but if you just want a quiet coffee break, it can be a bit much. Overall, Starbucks serves its purpose, but it feels like it’s trying to do too much at once. Perfect for grabbing coffee, but maybe not ideal for everyone’s idea of a relaxing café experience.

Tanya was so friendly and bubbly! Excellent service me and my friend were super happy!

Not a good look, dirty cladding, mucky bin bags, dirty floor, door propped open for rats to join in too

Popped in to pick up a coffee. Staff came across rude and abrupt, offered to pay by cash and was bluntly told “card only” Waiting to collect my coffee when I couldn’t hear them say my name, approached and asked if this was my coffee, again very bluntly told “yes” I explained I couldn’t hear her call my name, just looked at me and then turned away and ignored me. Not a good experience.

The 2 that I go to are great we always get our usual hazelnut latte with oat milk we never get a bad cuppa and the staff are always pleasant with us

I totally don't not agree with it been cashless whatsoever, I've been in when people have walked out due to been cashless, if this wasn't on my way home and in need of a coffee I wouldn't go in myself.

Could be cleaner all tables that had been used didn't get cleared or wiped down floor was filthy

This was a nice big Starbucks with plenty of seating. The service was great.

always really nice and staff are super lovely too, never had an incorrect order and go here 1-2 times a week

Pleasant staff nice chocolate and coffee

Large building in a great location for travellers. Cold drinks choice was limited. Expensive but that's expected. Especially food which is pretty basic. Staff were nice. Useful toilet and crest stop.

I really like my order and service was great!

The EV charger outside this branch didn’t work

Despite visiting frequently and ordering a standard drink from the menu with no alterations, they still regularly make the drinks incorrectly. Not sure if this is a lack of training or a lack of care and attention by the staff but at almost £13 for two drinks for them to both be incorrectly made is absurd.

Ordered 2 chocolate cake pops and 2 cookies and cream cake I appreciate the fact they didn’t just not send anything but we didn’t get told they weren’t available and no option to choose a different one as we don’t like the cookies and cream ones.

Starbucks, you only get 4 stars because you are so outrageously priced, but I quite like coming to this one. Serving staff at the drive through window are always lovely and drinks are made well. Plenty of parking, easy to drive in and out of.

Always use the drive through on my way to work. Super fast service and extra friendly staff with the quality you expect from Starbucks.

DO SOCIETY A FAVOUR AND BOYCOTT THIS ESTABLISHMENT. This Starbucks ONLY ACCEPTS CARD PAYMENTS, this is DISCRIMINATION against cash users and people who are unable to obtain a bank account.

Staff were nice, but the place needlessly has music on in the background, which is hard to talk over whilst everyone else is doing the same with their friends too. The price is also absolutely ridiculous for what you got.

From the initial service by Claire, it immediately became a great visit!!

Would have been a better experience if not so expensive. Service is friendly apart from a girl who was a bit abrupt. Sorry won't be coming again.

Expensive,but a good cup of coffee

Great dairy free milks for the coffee and plenty of vegan food options. The best starbucks in the area, no wait time and its now dog friendly inside. Love it. The beyond meat sandwich is fantastic

Always a great coffee and service. Food isn’t always the best but it’s nice and hot.

Quick and friendly service, good variety of drinks amd food available.

Warm, welcoming place to relax with a lovely coffee.

This place is very clean and cosy. Didn't want to leave.

Food was not good at all, tasted off

The coffee was good and found out you can even take the dog in for a puppacino ☺️

Came here for a coffee and some pastries. The man who served us was pleasant and I sat down with the warm pastries whilst my husband waited for the coffee. We told them we were eating in and after 5 minutes we finally got our coffees in a takeout cup. By this point the pastries had gone cold and when my husband explained we were eating the man offered to pour them into regular cups which we declined. Considering what you pay it wasn't the greatest experience but the pastries were nice enough that I'm giving 4 stars.

Was served by a lovley young man called Kyle, he went above and beyond as always!! His customer service was second to none! his manners and politeness is like no other! That lad deserves a pay rise!!

They always seem to get my order wrong, last 3 times.

Popped in for take away drink. Good service.

I personally prefer Starbucks,was shocked couldn't pay in cash

Scored lower on food as pretty much no gluten free offer

Took my granddaughters as usual took me to the cleaners lots of goodies on show

Ordered for delivery and they had send my whole order wrong.

Had to ask for a spoon with my cake. Did say I was sitting in and poured my drink in a takeaway cup.

Nice enough place but extremely expensive. £15 for a plastic cup!!! No thanks.

I wish to god they would tidy the tables, Im sick of each time we go I have to tidy up.....the staff are really nice but 3 staff in there is not enough to keep it tidy.

quick coffee and snack stop, all as expected for a Starbucks, tasty coffee, overpriced but decent food, good service

Was alright, over priced coffee, shop was a state many tables needed clearing

Quick service.....only went in for a latte.

Nice and relaxing place to have coffee

Was served by a lady called Jess at the drive through and her customer service was spot on

Nice coffee. Muffins were OK. The chairs were too low to be comfortable.

Fast service, easy to find and a large car park

Quick to keep you moving, moderate priced

We bought two Americanos one large and one small, with pooring cream which was added by the staff. Mine was the large and clearly had 2 shots of expresso rather than the four it should have. It was essentially cream and water, I could barely taste and coffee at all. I returned to the counter, I'm pretty sure he pretended to add additional coffee as it was handed back to me again. Regardless of the size of the cups starbucks.. you can see in this photo a substantiall difference in colour which should not be the case. We also asked for takeaway, and were given non takeaway cups. This isn't the first bad experience I have had in Starbucks, your staff just don't seem like they care. Paying £8 for two coffees when, Cafe Nero aces it every time means I'll go out of my way to drink at your competitors, because simply put, the consistently deliver better drinks. Photo included.

Drive-thru. Generally I dislike Starbucks but I was very sleepy and needed a coffee. £4.15 for a regular latte?!?! What?! I shall not be back.

This is one of the places I usually run to, and seem to always enjoy but not today. Today was the first time I’ve been unhappy with the customer service. One of the employed seemed to have an attitude towards me, not sure why? Time 09:23:18. I ordered a “Venti Strawberry Acia Refresher” she didn’t warn me that they’d run out of the actual strawberries 🍓, I had my own Starbs cup, so I handed it to her, of which she gave me half of the drink claiming it’s a Venti, complete filled it with just ICE! For £5+ so I told her to remove the ice and top it up, removing the ice, it wasn’t even a full small cup. I asked her to top it up to the full Venti (there’d still be room for ice with my own cup) but guess what! She literally offered to just add more lemon instead. so I basically paid £5+ for pink lemonade.. it was awful but I pretended, left it and sat down like it was all okay. I then decided to order the same drink, but another employee served me this time. That one too didn’t have the actual strawberries 🍓 (I was already aware of this but they’d just had a delivery,) or at least charged less if some of the ingredients are out of stock. The whole point of ordering another drink, was to see what they do differently. I got no apologies, and neither did they think to offer a different/ similar drink. Even though I’ve had good experiences in the past, today’s customer service involved two different employees with just one worse than the other. First of all she could have given me a full drink to make up for the missing ingredients, apologised for not telling me in advance and mainly her (first CS)’s attitude made the whole experience worse. Imagine I’d only gone there to make my day better it made it even worse.

They always make my frappe without coffee, that's the whole point of a frappe 🥲

Think they forgot to put the coffee in! Tasteless 😥

Not friendly staff 👎🏻 (dirty toilet)

Just not over full staff nie and friendly.

Staff more interested in talk to each other than Interacting with customes. And wi fi non .

Love Starbucks anyway, this one recently built and is right next to the main road for very easy access. Has a drive thru for those who need to get going. The place inside is very spacious and open. Cool AC and the atmosphere is quiet , perfect for a chat with friends/family or if you need a quiet space for some work. I did some of my business work here - not the first time and won't be the last. Great place 👍

Amazing customer services and nice food and drinks

This review is purely for the service received from Jess yesterday, she couldn’t have done enough to help and answered all my awkward questions. Plus the coffee was banging also - thanks again!

Service was good but doesn't do the Starbucks points unless you put money on first. All thew other starbucks you can scan the app and collect points so that was disappointing. They don't do just filtered coffee here as they said it isn't popular. I found that starnge as all starbucks do just filtered coffee so I ahd to order something else.

Called for a quick coffee, very nice, clean place, quick service, and nice coffee

Called today, not busy so we chose to drive-thru, one other car in front. Ordered two wet lattes, got a few miles down the road and one had a flavoring...WHY!. £4 wasted. How hard is it to get a simple order so wrong!😡 The owners don't care judging by the nonreplies from comments both good and bad

Stock availability is poor and often can be quite slow to serve.

Drinks are good when they get them right but a bit too expensive for what you get. Poor choice of food and again too expensive.

Probably the worst Starbucks I've ever been to

Never get our order right on the drive through. Overpriced like all Starbucks.

The coffee is adequate but the service is terrible staff stood around chatting while people are waiting to be served.

Made my order drove to window u can't pay with cash How can this be legal

Drive-thru was very quick and easy. Was served by a nice guy and coffee tasted great.

Clean and fast service and working toilets

No signs to warn card only Half of stuff not available Had us wait whilst they reboot system a good 15 mins then tell us nothing available then had to wait another 20mins to get past car in front whilst older woman serving laughed and joked and held it up what a sour service

Total shambles, often under staffed , poorly cleaned and operated

Easter Monday I was waiting at the intercom at the drive thru and It was raining at the time. I was waiting and waiting to have my order taken. Rain was wetting me because I had to keep the window down in to hear the intercom. Even down a little let rain in. Some kind of rain shelter would be a good idea instead of this poxy grill they have above which does nothing to stop rain entering you car. I may as well have driven with the top down. Ultimately I got tired of getting wet and just left.

Another dog friendly one! Typical starbucks food and bevs with lovely friendly staff

Good quality coffee, their packets of ground coffee are worth looking at, as you get a free coffee with each purchase!

Very slow service. Walk in customers all at the back of the queue at this branch

It’s a Starbucks still a shame they don’t take cash but never the less good coffee and well trained team members

40 minutes for 2 Strawberry açais “lost her ticket” took me 10 minutes to get served slow af

Great coffee and quiet atmosphere suited me perfectly.

Collected from drive thru, not quick service but pleasant enough Drive thru, today: friendly staff, no problems 😊

Lsds behind the counter were a laugh to be fair. As usual in here, poor selection of stuff to eat. It can be so bad in the morning (no breakfast fayre) that I've have just walked out in the past never to return at that time. Stick to Costa for consistency.

Great position for a Starbucks as there's absolutely nothing else around in this area. Great, friendly and efficient service Beautiful latte and fruit toast I fully enjoyed my first visit and would fully recommend I would.have given 5 stars But: I dropped a star for not accepting UK currency which I personally do in my business. You could just pay it into a machine like at the supermarket if you don't trust your staff Also I wasn't able to use my data on my phone and had to use the WiFi? So 4 stars Food, service and atmosphere 5 stars as that was prefect ❤️

wanted 0 stars but couldn’t do guess 1 will do. got to the door already annoyed with the sign saying ‘card payments only’‘ no cash taken’ which is a legal tender btw. staff was very rude, i asked for an iced drink and i was told ‘it’s not working we can’t make them’ not even a sorry, terrible customer service. no prices on cups, unlike every other store. highly do not recommended ruined the end of the day with the rude service and over all rubbish store.

I went for a cup of tea while waiting for my wife doing a visit at the hospital. The Tea was no more than warm water. You can not call it a cup of tea more like a half pint of boiled water with a tea bag at a price that is ridiculous. The tea bag just coloured the water as there was no taste. A complete rip off and waste of money, over £4 for a tea and a packet of crisps.

Expensive as always and they get your drinks wrong. Had it made far too sweet on more than one occasion. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Only serving drinks and food in take away cups etc dishwasher broke, whole of the place needs and good deep clean, floors and everything dirty really put me off.
