It’s hard to find good help, and this new Starbucks is still working on it. Every time I stop by, it seems like yet another young face is getting trained, or a lone, bepimpled young person is intently checking the barista recipe book each time he laboriously fills orders one by one. The shop, like many Montreal coffee places, is long and narrow, and despite its close proximity to the metro and convention center, will probably see the most business when it can put tables on the sidewalk for visibility. The interior is a cold stark white and lacks the coziness of the Starbucks on Notre Dame Ouest just two blocks away.
Every new shop has that special sparkle of newness, and my green tea frappuccinos have all been good, so there’s little to complain about so far. Just not much to laud, either.
