Firstly, the elevated paving, no banding showing it it a raised shape,I nearly fell over and as a disabled person that would have been dire. Now to the actual place. After I had manage to stop myself falling by going into the glass door, I went in and was met by a mature CSA who was very pleasant and thoughtful. He was attentive. I sat with my beverage and he brought me a Cs survey receipt to fill in after. These things are a necessary evil, but they should not exist. The tea was lovely, the ginger biscuits, the nicest I have ever had. The cinnamon buns I bought later were delicious everyone enjoyed them. But that elevated portion of paving in a triangular shape is awful and something that banding to show it's there would be good.

Popped in for a warming coffee. Place was warm but the coffee was awful. Really weak and the cookie was stodgy and tasteless. Staff were nice.

Pleasant staff, got my order and my friends order spot on.

They were working very hard and turned out coffees like there was no tomorrow. I got my coffee very quickly even though there were 10 orders ahead of me.

Great price, great staff, great coffee.

This is probably my favourite Starbucks in Edinburgh. It is spacious, you can always get a seat and it is well located next to Haymarket with views of trains - there's even a balcony overlooking the station which is great in summer.

After decimating the local coffee shops in the area it seems the business is either unwilling to cover the cost of their staff or the staff are unwilling to offer service to their customers. Biro-on-a4 scrawled signs of 'closing early' with locked doors have become a familiar and regular sight which is particularly frustrating after being chained in front of a computer all day. I shall be avoiding like the plague when other options reopen. I must say the staff manners are a redemption as they are usually friendly and happy to serve, if you can find the establishment open that is.
