Starbucks in ED Sainsburys

[katietatie]

DM, I have news. I wandered into ED Sainsburys this evening and on the way in is an advert on the wall, advertising for Starbucks staff. Now, there's no promise that the aforementioned Starbucks would be in Sainsburys, but surely they wouldn't advertise locally for a branch far away....?

There's been a starbucks in Dog Kennel Hill Sainsburys for the past 5 years.

It's just been closed due to the recent building works.

Dear Katietatie,

This is wonderful news! There is a God! I cannot wait. I wonder when we can expect it to return? I bet it will be in Sainos. I am over the moon.

Thank you sweetie.

yep it's true the site plans have been updated and where it used to say "cafe" it now says "starbucks". And when I stand looking through the windows in the hoarding with the small boy who is obsessed by builders I can't help but think that the section with the floor to ceiling windows MUST be the place for a skinny latte and a bun. Think the new store is looking very lovely.

A STARBUCKS in SAINSBURY'S? What kind of hellishly corporate Scotch Egg is that? Naomi (Klein) wouldn't like it. Nero

Dear Katgod,

Hurrah! I will look forward to it. I know I have gone on about Starbucks a huge amount on here, but it was a terrific place for new mums (and even not so new mums) to have a nice cuppa while the children were occupied. The usual cafeteria style supermarket coffee shops are very uncomfortable places to sit with tiny people.

I've just beamed in from Mars.

Please, I need to know, what are this Sainsburys and Starbucks?

There's definitly going to be a return of starbucks in the new sainsbury's - and its going to be bigger than before; remember chatting to one of the checkout ladies about it

[SimonM]

I thought the site plan actually promises both a Sainsbury's in-house cafe as well as a Tarbuck's? :))

[Slim]

It's been there longer than five years .. it turned up there some time in 2000 if I remember correctly, but was definitely there in early 2001.

Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I live in Derby now, but lived in Glengarry Road from 1995 to 2002. I still miss East Dulwich.

I would just like to say that I'm horrified that the term 'Scotch Egg' has been used in vain, how day you insult such splendour!!! :)

[dulwichmum]

Hi Slim,

Welcome to the forum!

You probably remember the delights of Sainsburys and Starbucks on Dog Kennel Hill then?

starbucks is for people who don't like to drink coffee but frothy milk instead. give me a pret any day, they make better food and the black coffee isn't burnt.

[dulwichmum]

Dear Mamafeelgood,

I love to drink coffee, and I do like frothy milk - yes this is true. But I looooove Starbucks coffee, mostly (to be fair) due to the softness of their sofa's.

Come on DM, it's the cheesecake that does it for you! ;-)

Moved to the Lounge

Dear Keef,

You know me so well. It is the soft chairs, the cheesecake, the frothy coffee - bliss! Coming to a Sainsburys near us - soon!

Perhaps we need an EDF coffee morning to balance out all the boozing that's usually done when we get together.

[georgia]

Ooh would prefer a hot chocolate. With lots of cream. And marshmallows.

[citizenED]

Dear all,

hope the new Starbucks employ some cleaners - they obviously never bothered with the old one. I used to enjoy a Double-Fat-Frothy-Coffee-Whatever whenever doing the weekly shop - but i would never dare look down at the floor!

Yeah but what if we all hated each other when we weren't drunk and "feeling the love"? I mean, Fear n' boozin / Crystal is one of my best friends, but we never meet when we're sober cos we hate each other ;-)

[Ant]

Hmm... that is a problem. You sh*t. ;)

[Fear 'n boozin]

[Keef]

[bagpuss78]
