Quick morning coffee in the Bahnhof! Starbucks is the same everywhere, nothing special but great for the busy mornings. This time I decided to stay in store. The apple cake was very tasty, recommended that for dessert

Coffee was good, hot Choccolate was huge. I had better service in different Starbucks than that morning in Winterthur.

In my personal opinion both Starbucks in Winterthur are great. Sure they have their price, but the service is great and the employees here are always super friendly. Great place to hang out and plan something or wait for someone arriving on a train.

I'm afraid I don't know which of the Starbucks I'm being asked to review. Hence, let me keep this generic for all the Starbucks I have been to in the past months across Germany, Sweden, and Norway. Most Starbucks are alike while some have very friendly staff. Coffee strength differs across country or they use different coffee blends in different countries. Judging by the questions, Google does not seem to know that it asks to review a Starbucks.
