Starbucks

Starbucks in Chiswell Green is pleasant enough to sit in and seems clean. Parking is quite easy which is a big advantage. Some of the snacks are quite tasty although the selection is fairly limited and pricey compared to some other local cafes. Unfortunately the coffee is horrid. St Albans is well off for places where you can buy coffee and breakfast or snacks, many selling far superior coffee at similar or better prices.

This is a brand spanking new Starbucks located behind the Shell station between North Orbital Road and Watford Road where the old Little Chef used to be. It’s a large cafe serving the usual vast array of coffee, tea, hot chocolate and other beverages as well as muffins, sandwiches and other Starbucks food. There are plenty of seats, both the comfy sort and the sort you sit in until the confy ones become available at which point you make a mad dash and trip over your belongings. I’m sure you will already know about the quality of Starbucks coffee, but it really is quite good. Ample parking available and wheelchair accessible.
