Starbucks in Maynooth?

dillo2k10 · 12-09-2011 09:50PM #1

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there is a Starbucks on or near the campus in Maynooth?

Im commuting form Dublin and it would only take a few minutes to take a detour off to liffey valley for my Starbucks needs but Id rather not!

I know that there is an Obriens but Id rather starbucks.

Thanks

You'd get off a bus for a coffee? U mad?

Dick Turnip · 12-09-2011 09:59PM

I would presume the op is driving?

Also, from the starbucks website it appears that liffey valley is the nearest starbucks to NUIM.

:eek: are you serious? What are Starbucks putting in their coffee that O'Briens or any other place aren't, ey?

Am I missing out on something?

Oh, lawl.

I'd sooner take up smoking

There's plenty of decent places to get coffee in Maynooth!

It would be for the Caramel Macchietto, they only sell them in Starbucks, I wouldnt be stopping everyday just for that. Most of the time I will be getting O'Briens

I like free water, from a tap :pac:

Can't understand the deal with coffee. Some stink off it. Thank god I don't drink tea or coffee. Tap water and cans of Druids are my drinks of choice

They look and sound more like desserts than coffees, how people get a jump start from that mess in a cup is beyond me.

One of my friends goes to Queens in Belfast, and she was told by some of her housemates that the location of a Starbucks across the road from the college was one of the main reasons they chose to go there.

When I have these its not for a jump start.

I think my plan of stopping at Liffey Valley was thrown out the window, along with the disgusting coffee they gave me. The stuff they gave me was horrible and only luke warm. I nearly got sick when I tasted it, wont be going to that starbucks ever again!

You'll be glad to know that there are places to buy coffee in Maynooth. Crazy I know but they do exist. In fact I'm struggling to think of places that don't do coffee...Xtravision maybe? :pac:

I know, I actually like the coffee from OBriens on campus, I just really liked starbucks, but the only one on the way to maynooth (liffey valley) is disgusting.

LeixlipRed · 13-09-2011 10:10AM

Better and cheaper places than O'briens, try twist, at least it's made with a little bit of love. I detest O'Briens. I dread the twice yearly visit when I'm invigilating in JH and I've forgotten my lunch and I've no time to go down town and I have to get a sambo there. Then I think, oh, I know what'll make it edible, toast it please! And the girl says, "that'll be an extra 50c". And then I kill them all

And wake up in a cold sweat...

Do they actually charge to have it toasted???

LeixlipRed · 13-09-2011 10:21AM

I wouldn't murder them all if they didn't now would I?

squishykins · 13-09-2011 10:35AM

Yeah Twist is quite nice

The Coffee Mill is nice too, there's really loads of places in Maynooth to go, but I would suggest investing in a thermal flask :P It's no Starbucks but it's bloody cheap!

ah, its right next to the rip in the fabric of space and time that brings you back to when video rental stores where viable businesses.

I never noticed it in there.

LeixlipRed · 13-09-2011 11:00AM

Most of xtravision's stores still turn a profit. The figures were there when they entered examinership. No idea about the one in Maynooth though. Or how it's still possible for them to be profitable.

The Mill Wine Cellar serves really nice coffee. You could always try there.

Duddy · 13-09-2011 03:16PM

The Costa coffee shop upstairs in the Phoenix is quite aptly named. Went to Chill instead:D

irish_goat · 13-09-2011 05:20PM

Definitely try Mill Wine Cellar and pick yourself up some nice craft beer while you're in there.

Yeah they're unreal expensive!! Aw I want to look around the Pheonix now

Hard to bate the hot chocolate in Chill; I'm assuming the coffee is also nice

Duddy · 13-09-2011 06:32PM

Oh yes! Vanilla Lattes ftw. The Phoenix is laaavly, but so very swanky that its a bit surreal going into it - its hard to believe its on campus:P
