Where I work there are 4 Starbucks outlets within half a mile, and they all do soya milk. Its 35pence extra Its listed on their board behind the servers under the special options. I also got a soya coffee at the weekend from Starbucks in Kings Road. I sent it back because the server used a cow-milky spoon to pour the soya over - I explained about " cross-contamination " - I thought people in the catering trade were taught all about this (yes - I'm a fussy vegan!). vegan-network, " Mccartney, Rowan (R.N.)
