This Starbucks store is one of the more convenient stores I have seen in the area, it is located near enough right next to the Trafford Centre and inside Trafford Park, here they is an Asda, a Costco and a Krispy crème. This store is probably one of the best to visit, while in the Trafford Centre, as it is overall a nicer, quieter branch, so if you don’t mind walking, this is probably a good place to go, and avoid the crowds. It can even be a great place to visit, while in the area and if you want a coffee, and want to avoid the dreadful Trafford Centre. The staff here seemed nice, and didn’t try arguing with me on the drive through telecom(Watch and learn Rochdale!) and they didn’t roll their eyes, when I used my free coupon for a free drink any size, hence waiving the £3.95 cost for my large vanilla latte. I didn’t see inside the store, having just used the drive through, it doesn’t seem to be the nicest drive through, with the view into the store from their being relatively poor, compared to other branches of Starbucks(Rochdale for example) and other companies, drive throughs certainly have looked more presentable and nicer in the past. My vanilla latte was quite nice, and was a good temperature, the coffee tasted of good quality, and in my opinion this is one of the nicer Starbucks branches in the area. Another bad thing about this store, is its’ location in a way, it can be quite hard to find for new-comers, due to the confusing layout of Trafford Park, and it seems to be tucked in behind the trees very well, but still this isnt a problem if you are visiting Costco/Asda and if you’re not just calling in for a coffee, they was signage but this was unclear, so better signs would definitely make me want to visit this store more often, as compared to other stores, such as Bury, Ashton(Village Hotels) and Rochdale(Garage), it is quite difficult to find the branch in question. As this is one of the nicer Starbucks’ stores for the quality of coffee, and one of the more convenient ones to visit, in a good location next to The Trafford Centre, with a 24 hour drive through, but still for now, I feel that I can only give 3 stars with finding the store, the look of the drive through being the main reasons in the lower rating, than what I’d have liked to give. I will be coming back soon in the near future, so hopefully I can upgrade to 4.

Love this Starbucks. Convenient if you want the use of the drive through or sit inside on some of the nice large comfortable chairs and relax with your favorite coffee and snacks. Great place for either business or pleasure.

The only Starbucks in Manchester and surrounding that is drive through and 24 hour. If it wasn’t I’d be unlikely to visit but these two perks def raise the profile. The food and drink is standard Starbucks, service could be better but it’s hit and miss and depends who you get. I’ve had a couple of bad experiences here but not gonna rant on about them. If you’re looking for somewhere late night it’s one to try.

I know I shouldn’t but I love Starbucks. This one is excellent, great location and they make top class coffees. You can get your caffeine hit before braving asda or the Trafford centre next door. Starbucks have their Christmas options available including a new choc orange one, give it a try its gorgeous.

High ceilings, great décor(standard Starbucks colours dark brown and dark green) but also very clean! Probably very clean because it is new(ish) but this makes all the difference. This Starbucks is actually a drive through! My first experience of a drive through Starbucks! However, I spend most of my time here sat inside — those comfy sofas… You know how people usually steal the mugs? I’ve been plotting how to steal the comfy chairs! Every Starbucks coffee place I go in to has these chairs. I don’t know where they are from but I have never found anything like them! The Trafford Centre is across the road to this place with another two Starbucks joints. This one beats them by far in terms of customer service and quality of drinks. The staff give you a very decent amount of whipped cream(and they even squirt some on your cake if you ask nicely!), a smile to go with it and they are very happy to help. This is one of my favourite places to go and spend 5(60) minutes with a drink, relax and chat.

Personally this my favourite Starbucks in my local area, its 5 minutes away and I don’t have to visit the vile trafford centre to get to it. The staff here are most days very friendly and talkative and quite game for a laugh which is rare considering its a huge conglomerate chain who normally hire just about anyone. They serve all the usual array of Starbucks goodies and are quite happy to tailor an order to your specification(skimmed milk, Soy etc). Plus this has a drive through so you lazy people don’t even have to leave your car for your mocha! I also like the generous servings these guys provide huge dollops of whip cream and toppings not just a measly little squirt or standardised serving like at most Starbucks. One thing I would like to point out is that they seem to be understaffed because the tables are quite messy most of the time but thats a minor gripe for me personally. Definitely recommend if not just for the Drive through experience!
