Starbucks

I don’t write a lot of Unilocal reviews, unless I really love a place and this is my first negative review. This location had a friendly and informative barista that took my order, but the barista that made my order not so great. Nice guy, but not the same service as other starbucks. I highly recommend the pink drink (strawberry acai refresher with coconut milk in place of water) that everyone talks about, but not at this starbucks location. First he didn’t mix my drink. So I was shaking it myself and he told me that he’s not allowed to mix it in the shaker. Not a big deal, but not true bc 3 different places shake it with ice for me. I mention I don’t have the dried strawberries in my drink and he says that he did put them in. There were blackberries, but no strawberries. It made the drink less sweet and more sour and kind of have a medicinal taste. If I’m going to pay 4.91, please make my drink right. Or at least acknowledge that I know what strawberries look like.

Super friendly service, some of the staff even knows my name by now. :) Also, they’re great at offering suggestions for when I want to change up my usual order and try something new.

I love this Starbucks! I don’t like Starbucks in general but the people at this one are always so nice! I don’t mind coming back to this one every time cause everyone’s so nice here.

This starbucks is pretty reliable in terms of service and drink quality. The wait in line can take a while but they make the drinks very quickly. I got a caramel macchiato and they made it perfectly — not too sweet, with the right amount of caramel, foam & coffee.

Out of cold brew at 930am, out of grande cups, and extremely slow service (almost ten minute wait) considering it was not very busy and all I got was an iced coffee. The fact that this establishment is part of the Starbucks franchise is beyond my understanding.

Prime location and pretty fast service.

Love this Starbucks! It’s close and convenient for me, there is never a line and the employees are always fast and nice, too!

This Starbucks was alright compared to many others I’ve been to. Their wasn’t much of a line, and my order was taken quickly. The service was a tad slow but I was in no rush. The specialty drink I got was good; however, I believe it comes with a chocolate drizzle on top and the barista did not put this on top of the whipped cream. I was a little disappointed, but the experience was good overall.

they serve PSL here.

They refused to give me a cup of hot water today even though I have gotten hot water here many times before. They said it is company policy because they some customers get burned by it. I asked how that was different than giving someone hot tea and they had no answer for me. Very disappointed. Usually Starbucks employees are very reasonable but they wouldn’t budge.

Never a long line, friendly and quick service! Comparing this to the location in Macy’s makes it look like a 5 star spot.

I’ve been back to this location this summer, and see they now have water at the ready, even for non-​customers. Well done, if only they would bring back the spinach and feta wrap. A solid 3 stars, which is probably about right for any Starbucks.

So far this is the fastest Starbucks I’ve encountered in Center City. The employees tend to be pleasant. The soymilk in my latte has only been heated too hot once (it keeps cooking unlike milk and develops a burnt cookie taste when this happens).

Starbucks is Starbucks. The drinks, the food, the atmosphere is the same as every other Starbucks. The difference with this one is the staff. They are wonderful. They are always friendly and helpful and they always seem to go out of their way to help me. I really enjoy it here.

This is my least favorite Starbucks in the city. Forget about it if you are in any kind of a hurry. Even a three-​person line with four people working behind the counter tends to slow everyone down to the pace of that giant turtle in the Neverending Story. While you are waiting in line, craving your caffeine rush before you face your workday, and the person in front of you orders a grande Pike Place that, for some reason, takes two people two minutes to prepare and ring up, you will wish that the Oracles were there to shoot you with their laser eyes, and put you out of your misery.
On the plus side, it’s not very busy and has a nice crowd of regulars, so it tends to be a bit more social than some of the other ‘bucks nearby.

I like this Starbucks because it’s generally less busy than the others in the area. I normally don’t have a problem getting a table and the wi-​fi usually works.

People are nice but brutally slow service.

The brownies. Need I say more? Really amazing. Go early when everything is fresh.

Great starbucks. Awesome location right on broad street. So if you are in your way into Center City from South Philadelphia this is the perfect stopping place. Reletively short lines. And I really enjoy the local art work, along with some of the local acts that come in. Also a lot of space to sit down and do some work/​studying. I have visited a lot of starbucks and this one ranks in the top.

Never sat in there and had my coffee before, but, I must say this is one of the cleanest and quietest locations I’ve been to. Really nice and efficient staff, as well.
