Starbucks on Street Lane, Roundhay, Leeds

I spent this afternoon working in Starbucks on Street Lane in Roundhay.

It's a really nice place. I'd never used the free broadband before so I asked about how I go about setting it up. One of the Baristas was very helpful. Though they'd run out of cards on the desk, he went into the back to fetch some more. He then came back and gave me the card and explained quickly and clearly how to use it.

I took a seat in the window and sat with my Grande Cappuchino (with Chocolate, vanilla and one sugar) and set up the laptop. Everything worked like a dream no problems at all. The connection was great nice and fast and no downtime or lost connection.

The music was nice if a little too loud. The Christmas music wasn't just the normal Muzak but a nice mix of old and new. The one which stuck out for me was a Mash-up of Jingle Bells and Tomorrow Never Knows. Very odd but it worked well.
