Starbucks Blackpool in Cork

Nice Starbucks, but there is a smell of stale milk when you come in. Staff can be a little distracted and not notice you’re there and a bit slow. The toilets could do with a clean also.

Great place to work from and have a coffee or tea

Starbucks came to Cork to stay and came at the right time, bringing added value to Cork City. These multinationals are spread all over the world, this is very positive for Cork. Anyone can open a Starbucks, they just have to pay the franchise fee, and then the sky's the limit. Whoever acquires a Starbucks franchise has a great advantage: it has a well-known name, has been in the market for many years, doesn't have to prove anything in terms of quality, and it's almost like having half a house already built.
