Starbucks in Dublin

Clean, quick and simple. Well suited before or after a long train ride, especially in the morning when other options are closed.

I recently tried the lavender velvet latte at the Starbucks in Connolly Station, and while the drink itself was smooth, creamy, and pleasantly floral, I couldn’t help but feel a bit underwhelmed by the experience overall. The latte was on the pricey side, which I expected for something new and trendy, but what surprised me was the lack of engagement from the staff. At no point was I asked if I had the Starbucks app or card—something I only became aware of when I overheard another customer getting points and perks. It left me feeling like I missed out on something I should’ve been told about. The drink was worth trying once for the novelty, but the customer experience definitely has room for improvement.

We wanted to wait for our train. There were a total of 2 chairs in the room, which would have been just enough for us if one of the employees wasn't playing sudoku on it... He didn't give up his seat, so we could sit outside at the unheated train station. The 3 stars are for the lady who kindly served us.
