Starbucks Coffee Review

Cofee review: Starbucks Coffee, 525 George St., Sydney

When walking towards and into this certain Starbucks cafe, one has to be cafe not the trip up, the stairs. It is unusal to see a cafe on a busy street to have have a small set of stairs just before entering it. As a global fanchise, starting out from America, I'd have to say that the coffee is not as good as the coffee back in America.

The layout of this cafe is simple and common yet again. It can be quite crowded at certain times during the day, especially on the weekends. The lighting is dim, but not dim enough so that you won't be able to do your studying in the cafe. As students usually come by this cafe to do their studying, it is not the ideal place to be doing it since it is very open, and conversations bounce around the walls and echo around.

It is also popular for its coffee, but unlike my previous review of Gloria Jean's cafe (click here), it is also quite popular during breakfast, as they do serve a range of breads, sandwiches, wraps and salads unlike Gloria Jean's, which instead serves mostly pastries and desserts.

It is a family friendly cafe, and the target market is also young adults and above.

Rating 7/10

Gloria Jean's Coffee Review

Coffee review: Gloria Jean's Coffee, Strathfield

Upon visiting the Strathfield store of Gloria Jean's, I noticed that the lay out of the cafe was quite common. Glass wooden doors at the front of the store which are opened when needed be, make the cafe have convenient settings depending on the weather. Tables and chairs are also set out on the footpath, which also adds to the choice of sit in customers who decide to breathe fresh air while sipping on their coffee. The location of the cafe is convenient as it is set around the busy business/ shopping area of Strathfield.

This chain of franchise store's customers come in mainly for the coffee. Although they do serve danish, cakes and other sweet pastries, you will often see the customers dropping in for the coffee.

The store is aimed at young adults and above. Even though the cafe is aimed at certain age groups, the cafe is family friendly.

Cafés are defined as small cozy restaurants and hubs where drinks and small consumables are sold.
