The first of 100 “individualised” Starbucks opened on Conduit Street last week so I headed down for a caffeine kick. This new look local shop brings back the community element and recaptures the cool, calm relaxed ethos of the first branches, which opened 38 years ago. The large green Starbucks sign is replaced by a more subtle branding that is easier on the eye. Inside you find large cosy leather sofas set within bookshelves, antique furniture and notice boards. Head down now for a Christmassy red cup treat.
