Quick info
About Starbucks Coffee, Arrivals
In the Arrivals area of Manchester Airport, Starbucks Coffee serves as a walk-in coffee shop for travellers passing through Short Stay. The counter handles espresso drinks and tea alongside breakfast, lunch and pastries, with iced matcha lattes and a Chimichurri wrap among the offerings, and vegetarian options are available. There is no table service or booking, and orders are placed at the counter, though seating runs limited during busier periods. A step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance serves visitors with mobility needs moving through the terminal. The shop opens daily, fitting around arriving and departing flights rather than set mealtimes. One practical note for regulars: the Starbucks app cannot be used to order or pay at this particular location, so purchases are made directly at the till.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the counter staff, calling them friendly, polite and kind, with several saying their drink was made perfectly. One praises a worker who handled a busy evening alone behind the counter. Matcha drinks come next, with two reviewers enjoying theirs, and one liked the Chimichurri wrap as a vegetarian option. Others note the convenient location by arrivals, quick service and consistent coffee, though seating is limited when busy. The sharpest complaint concerns an iced matcha ube vanilla latte with coconut milk, described as stingy on matcha, artificially flavoured and smelling like wall paint, so it was binned after one sip and a refund requested. That reviewer also says the app could not be used. Another reviewer recalls a worker double checking an order and a free croissant.

“My friends and I were served by Josh this evening, it was very busy and he was alone behind the counter, he was so efficient throughout whilst remaining friendly and helpful. Thanks Josh, your efforts definitely didn’t go unnoticed! 😊”

“Stopped by Starbucks at Manchester Airport (Arrivals, Short Stay) for a quick coffee. Really convenient location right by arrivals, perfect if you’re waiting for someone or just landed. Service was quick and efficient, even with a steady flow of customers. Coffee was as expected — consistent and good quality. Seating is a bit limited during busy times, but fine for a short stop. Overall, a reliable spot for a quick caffeine fix at the airport.”

“Got an iced matcha ube vanilla latte with coconut milk, for £6.60 which is very steep so I decent expectations Very stingy with the matcha as you can tell from the photo. No matcha taste at all. Flavourings incredibly artificial This is really vile, everything together smells like wall paint Also this Starbucks doesn’t let you use the app Would give 0 stars if I could I had to throw the whole cup in one of the bins in front of the store after one sip, which the staff saw Please may I get a refund?”
