Starbucks sur Saint-Germain-En-Laye

Thank you Melissa, you're so kind.

Classic Starbucks products are industrial, chemical-laden... but hey, it's an accepted constraint in today's corporate world. The establishment is poorly maintained, dirty, and the toilets are substandard. A quick sweep now and then isn't a luxury, it's the bare minimum.

Celia welcomes customers like nowhere else; she's an example for the brand. She should be a manager; she's friendly and, above all, patient. Well done!

It's a good coffee shop, but there are a couple of drawbacks: 1. The internet, as Starbucks positions itself as coffee and internet, is quite slow at 0.28 Mbps, so don't expect good speeds; 2. The restroom is dirty, which spoils the overall experience.

This afternoon, during an outing in town, a child with a disability urgently needed to use a restroom. Accompanied by two adults, we were initially refused access at two different locations before finally being welcomed with understanding. We sincerely thank the staff for their kindness and empathy towards vulnerable individuals. This gesture was greatly appreciated 🥰

We went to Starbucks this morning. I had a hot chocolate with chocolate chips, and my mom had a small coffee. It was very good. It's wheelchair accessible. The place isn't very big, but it's accessible. I highly recommend it! ⭐😁😁🦼

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.
