Starbucks sur Saint-Germain-En-Laye

Update January 2026: The WIFI is still inoperable. Even my hotspot is blocked. I asked Ulrich to help me, he said he's worked there since 2013, and he gave the typical French answer: basically the shoulder shrug + it works for me, so I don't care that it doesn't work for you. Also, they keep adding more and more corny menu items with cheesy designs and sugary, high fructose syrups. Pistachio themed items that look absolutely horrific. I tried the new boiled eggs (was excited to see a protein option) and they are disgusting and a complete no-go. Prior Review: The wifi interface changed recently and I have not been able to do any work on my laptop because my laptop won't connect properly. Also, the new interface / UX design (it works on my phone, so I've seen it and used it) looks like a downgrade / de-modernization. The primary reason I go to Starbucks is not to socialize or do takeout coffee, but to sit in the cafe and get work done. It is not possible to do this without a very strong wifi that is reliable, i.e. with a modern UX design that works reliably. I would appreciate if this issue could be addressed in the near future.

While passing through Saint-Germain-en-Laye, I stopped at Starbucks for a quick snack. The shop is well-located and very welcoming, even if the seating area is a bit small. The staff is really friendly! The young woman who took my order was lovely and offered excellent advice. I really enjoyed the drink she recommended, even if the muffin wasn't anything special. And I especially want to thank Ulrich for his kindness and thoughtfulness: he managed to make me laugh where others would have simply handed me my drink without a second glance. Human interaction is so important… It really made my day! ☺️
