…watch your back.. they’re coming!!!…
Location: Starbucks, 37-39 High Holborn, London, WC1V 6BG
Order: Coffee, Pastry, the starbucks faire!
Review: 4/5
Comment: The major selling point is really that it’s never too busy or noisy (usually) in the morning.. Otherwise, you know what you’re getting.. Good coffee, so/so pastry, and working wifi.
