Starbucks Arrives at the Coffee Lounge in Broadoak

A taste of the high street right here on campus. Starbucks is now being served at the Coffee Lounge on the ground floor of the Broadoak building at Accrington and Rossendale College (ARC) and it’s ready to fuel your day.

This is barista-served Starbucks, made fresh by one of the familiar faces behind the counter.

No self-serve machine, no compromise. Just the drinks you know and love, prepared the way you’d expect. Best of all, you can pay quickly and easily using UPay, so grabbing your favourite takes seconds.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Where: The Coffee Lounge, ground floor, Broadoak building, ARC
  • What: Barista-served Starbucks, made to order
  • How to pay: Cash or UPay for a fast, cashless experience

Some days move fast. Grab a Starbucks on the go, cup in hand, as you head between classes and keep your momentum going.

Other days call for a slower pace. Sit back, settle in and enjoy a Starbucks while you work through an essay or catch up on reading

And when you want to unwind? Meet up with friends over a Starbucks, swap stories and make the most of your breaks. Wherever your day takes you, your Starbucks is right here on campus.

Barista-Served, Made for You: There’s a difference between a drink from a machine and one made by a trained barista. At the Coffee Lounge, every Starbucks is prepared by hand, so you get quality and consistency in every cup. It’s the same standard you’d find on the high street, now just a short walk from your studies.

Seasonal Specials on the Way: The menu doesn’t stand still. Seasonal specials are coming soon, giving you fresh reasons to visit throughout the year. Keep an eye out for limited-time favourites that arrive with the changing seasons.

Coming Soon to Nelson and Colne: The good news doesn’t stop at Broadoak. A second Starbucks site is opening soon at NCC, bringing the same barista-served experience to even more students and staff.
