Starbucks Coffee
Quick info
About Starbucks Coffee
Starbucks Coffee sits inside the historic building at the Victoria Station concourse, serving as a coffee shop and cafe for travelers passing through. The counter covers espresso drinks, tea, and coffee alongside breakfast, lunch, and pastries. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis with no reservations needed, and a takeaway option suits anyone catching a train. Seating is also available for those who prefer to wait or relax before departure, and outdoor seating extends that option outside. High chairs are on hand for families with young children. It opens daily, keeping consistent hours for the flow of station traffic. The location's setting within the concourse building shapes its role as a stop for commuters and travelers rather than a standalone destination.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return to this Victoria Station Starbucks mainly for the staff, describing baristas who are friendly, quick and efficient, with several noting they went the extra mile on an order or checked in on a customer who had received bad news. The black coffee is called delicious, and one reviewer mentions the matcha a barista keeps handing over in place of a macchiato, which they take with a laugh. Close behind is the setting: a historic building described as a sea of tranquility amid the station concourse, with comfortable seating for waiting on a train. The caveats are consistent. Two reviewers say the store runs very warm, one wishing for air-con, and one finds it suffers from the poor condition of the station. One reviewer says orders are often made wrong and that staff have an attitude when this is raised. Another says a gold rewards card could not be scanned, so extras that are usually free were charged. One reviewer suggests asking for a takeaway when leaving it late to catch a train.

“Great old building but insanely warm inside even with mild temperature outside. It suffers from the condition of the station, which is not good. Not the greatest Starbucks”

“Nice and clean store, served by Sofia, who was super friendly and helpful! The store was a little warm, could do with some air-con, but service was great.”
