This book is a good read and is best described as a statement of the company's aspirations. It focuses mainly on the good work that the company does and its contribution to society. I guess that this is how the author gained access to the senior management? An easy read about a high street brand.

An interesting, yet obviously biased insight into the business ethos and guiding principles at the biggest Coffee franchise in the world. I started to lose interest half way through, as the author's ramblings went on and on and just got more and more tedious. Highlights include; Starbucks impressive attitude towards customer service and loyalty, the training and coffee knowledge given to staff who earn the coveted 'black' apron, and also how unfortunately small the store managers salaries can be.

I bought this book because I'm a Starbucks addict and wanted to know how the company has become so successful. The book mainly gives examples of how they work: advantages of being employees of the company (incredible health benefits, free coffee!), customer service rules and the freedom Starbucks employees seem to have (giving free coffee to some needy customers!). Having been to Starbucks in the U.S., Canada & the U.K I have to say that I have not seen such incredible service in the U.K. starbucks cafes but I have been given a free coffee in Canada and on one stop in the U.S. I had no idea what I wanted and one barista took her time when it was busy to go through the different coffees with me and offered me one for free in case I didn't like it, I loved it and certainly paid!!
The principles Starbucks operates on are likely to help any business with its customer service in particular, if only more places were like Starbucks, we'd be in a happier place!
