Starbucks Rosebank

Lovely place to work. Lots of space and not too loud. Nice staff and clean.

Good spacious inside outside area. But there was no thought for working people.

The round tables are to short to place a notebook to work on and the chairs are to short for the long table to work on...

Nice place to work from

Good place to work a bit. There's a lot of space, great connection.

Great spot to sit and work. Service is always friendly

free wifi, good music, great coffee and exceptional cakes.

2023: this year they decided to make connecting to wifi such a chore so I don’t love that.
2022: It’s okay actually

One of the best places to go to, whether you want to read and grab a drink or work in a coffee shop with good wifi - Starbucks is always the place to go. The friendly staff makes it an even better experience.

Such a chill vibe, lots of peepe on laptops minding their business. The music was good too.

Great place to get some work done but quite crowded. Not enough tables... if you wanna work

Great place to work and chill. Clean environment with friendly staff

If you want to get some office work done, that could be the place. It’s serene

Rosebank Starbucks holds a special place in my heart as the ultimate spot for relaxation and mental rejuvenation. The easygoing environment, complemented by a laid-back seating layout, provides the perfect backdrop for some much-needed downtime. The staff here never fail to impress with their consistent friendliness and readiness to accommodate.

Stepping into the outdoor seating area, one can't help but feel anchored and renewed by the cool, neutral stone tones. Additionally, the dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy overhead, along with the greenery encircling the area, creates a serene harmony of urban comfort and natural beauty.

In terms of amenities, this location doesn't disappoint. There are ample indoor and outdoor power outlets, as well as USB ports, ensuring your devices stay charged, even when you're running low.

However, there's one recent change that's somewhat disheartening: the new one-hour limit on wifi access. Previously, one could enjoy several uninterrupted hours of work or leisure here, accompanied by an ongoing flow of coffee and perhaps a snack or two. This extended stay naturally increased my spending—a win-win for me and the café. Now, the one-hour cap not only disrupts workflow but also doesn't make sense from a business perspective, considering that longer stays are likely to lead to additional purchases. Additionally, the restriction of one wifi voucher per customer is inconvenient, particularly when both a laptop and a phone need connecting. Unfortunately, even getting a new voucher for a device that's already been online doesn't work, when the time is up, you're done.

On the bright side, I absolutely adore their Reserve blend, especially when it's part of a Madagascan vanilla latte. Also, their selection of teas, particularly the hibiscus and chamomile, are delightful and highly recommended.

Despite the wifi issue, Rosebank Starbucks remains a cherished locale, and I hope they'll reconsider this policy for the sake of their customers who rely on a little more online time.

This is a lovely Starbucks. It used to be one of my favorite spots to work but now since they have introduced vouchers instead of open wifi it’s a bit more difficult.
I like to come early in the mornings while it’s still quite clean.

Service is extremely slow because they don’t operate at the appropriate staff capacity. This means you wait long for a coffee, they don’t clean tables punctually and you have to wait an age just to get the wifi password (which you should access freely in any case). Their poorest branch in JHB. Sad because their location is phenomenal.

Excellent free wi-fi, good food, good coffee

Great buzzing, working and social, vibes here. Large area, lots of seating and tables, for your working cafe feel.

Cosy, good coffee. Sometimes hard to find a table due to wifi users.

One of my favourite branches to visit, the venue is quite substantial so you never feel crowded, especially in the current times we are in the space is very much ideal.

My ultimate guilty pleasure is the tall caramel Frappuccino, the perfect drink.

Great space to work in wifi speeds are great so a good space to do some work during the week or over the weekend.

Great place to just hang out and have a decent coffee. Iced coffees are great for summer and the wifi is easy to use and reliable. 5/5 would recommend to anyone.
