Starbucks

I was very pleased with my drink, however the customer service was a different story. The workers were unenthusiastic, with one barista complaining in front of customers about how tired she was. Also, my father ordered a coffee frappacino, and it was basically white there was so little coffee in it.

This is by far the worst experience I have had at a Starbucks. We went right before a show, and although it appeared busy, there was only one person ahead of us in line. Then I got barked at by 2 different baristas trying to help me with the same order. It was the worst possible way to take an order. I would look at one, say what I wanted, repeat it. Look at another, tell him something, then the other one would get snappy and look at me like I was dumb. Not enjoyable.
I got a small donut and my usual hot chocolate with caramel instead of vanilla. It took at least 10 minutes to come out. They had 2 baristas working and 2 idling around at the cash register. Nobody thought «hey we’re way backed up, let me get off the not busy register!» The lady next to me wasn’t happy as they basically forgot to make her drink. My hot chocolate was horrid. Something tasted way off.
Stay away. Please do yourself a favor and go to another Starbucks.

Starbucks is Starbucks, right? No, actually not. Some are very well run, some not so much. Every time I’ve been in this store, despite how busy it is; it’s clean and well sorted out. Some SBUX, the area where you add cream/​sugar is a mess; with sugar and used stirrers everywhere, and the half/​half container chronically empty. Not so this location.

In New York ist die Starbucks-​Dichte gefühlt am höchsten. Im Grunde gibt es an jeder zweiten Ecke einen.
Super natürlich für Kaffeedurstige, aber auch wichtig für diejenigen, die eine WC suchen und sich hier eben mal schnell mit einem Kaffee sich in die Schlange stellen können.
Der Starbucks in der 8^th Avenue gehört zu Kategorie «besser aufgeräumt und gepflegt». Die Damen hinter der Theke sind freundlich und lächeln sogar auch mal.
Was mir hier besondern aufgefallen ist, sind die Charging Spots in der Theke und bei den Sitzbereichen.
Man legt sein Smartphone darauf und lädt die Kiste nebenbei auf, ohne eine Steckdose bemühen zu müssen. Leider funktioniert dies noch nicht bei allen Anbietern. iPhone-​Inhaber sind da erst einmal aussen vor.
Ansonsten schmeckt der Kaffee auch hier und man ist ja eh die meiste Zeit in NYC unterwegs und hält sich eigentlich nur kurz wegen des WLans bei einem Starbucks auf, denn das ist in jedem kostenfrei.

The dude got pissed off because I asked him to ring up the order separately. They wanted me to place the order through the app. I wanted my stars for gold card readers. Suck it

Love this spot for coffee before or after a show. Today ordered food and after paying for a salad, was told they «don’t have forks here» and handed a spoon. It’s not really a «spoon food,» but it tasted good. Hopefully they will decide to start stocking forks.

I am not a big fan of Starbucks. First, I think their coffee is too strong and tastes burnt. Second, I think their prices are too high. Finally, the customers are not the same as the Dunkin’ Donuts crowd (take that however you’d like).
After having said all of the above, a friend recommended I try a vanilla bean frappuccino. He swore it’s worth the $ 342.78 price tag. I happened to be in the mood for a frosty non-​alcoholic beverage and decided to give it a try. To my surprise, it was refreshingly insanely good. I had to control myself to avoid a brain freeze.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and might even return to Starbucks one day after I pay off my credit card. I gave it 4 stars because I could not bring myself to give Starbucks a perfect score… but it was close. Damn you Starbucks!

The staff does not know how to take correct orders. I said tall green tea frappuccino three times clearly and they still give me a grande frappuccino. Come on! I could have checked the receipt but they did not provide me any receipt.

The Quick: Had the best experience with a fantastic barista (barista for a man?) today. The service was really outstanding; he made a line full of rush hour manhattan snobs smile and was extremely efficient. Thank you!

Lines move quick in the morning but sometimes it takes a while to get your drink after offrring. Lots of tourists during the day. If you can walk to a different one, do it!

Typical gentrifying chain layout and what you would expect.
This particular location had a homeless guy that hangs out all day and the smell is so bad I’m on the verge of gagging. Staff sadly says there’s nothing they can do.

My peach green tea lemonade is bomb! So yummy. You gotta try it guys. Anyway, this place is a good rest spot to chill, freshen up, and get a drink while you’re in the city. The staff were pretty nice. Just your average Starbucks around 4 pm I guess. ^_^

This Starbucks location is the absolute worst that I have been to, ever. Worst Starbucks location in all of Hell’s Kitchen at the very least, in my experience.
Staff is not happy there — it’s apparent that they despise tourists who seem to take longer to order anything and are unfamiliar with US Currency when they are paying in cash.
The milk was out without a thermos. EEW, no thank you!
I am going to go to the one on 49^th Street between 8^th and 9^th or the one on 49^th and 9^th from now on.

Only stopped here because my friend and I were in the area.
We came here after eating dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings.
I ordered a hot green tea, to which the female server was somewhat rude about (in regards to taking my order) — because you know, we were interrupting her really important and loud conversation with her co-​worker.
Then my friend ordered a matcha latte. The young worker to the side of the cashier loudly exclaims, «GOD SOMEONE HAD TO ORDER THE MATCHA LATTE,» made a nasty face in front of both of us, and then proceeded to sloppily slosh everything together.
***NOTE to everyone here: The young male worker making the matcha latte used a wet and nasty looking cloth/​rag to WIPE THE CONTAINER WITH MATCHA powder.
Gross and unsanitary, not that he cared, considering his unprofessionalism.
Throughout our time here (an hour or two near closing time), the three person staff (two young females and one young male) LOUDLY complained about the customers inside, about how they just wanted to clean-​up, and go home.
Here’s a hint: If you don’t like your job, change jobs. If you’re stuck working at Starbucks because you have no other skills to offer the world, guess what? It’s your fault. Do your job and do it well. But then again, if you knew that, you probably wouldn’t be working at Starbucks (ineptly at that).

Friendly Staff but I love Vanilla Lattes and was in dire need of one each of the 2 times I came here. Both times the drink was not up to standard because they missed the in vanilla syrup and it tasted like a regular latte :(

There is nothing particularly special about this Starbucks location except for it is opened until late. This is really great when you are arriving to New York City’s airport and want a coffee before retiring for the night.
I love New York City for that reason and I wish Los Angeles or other major cities would have establishments open 24 hours a day like this particular Starbucks.

Mr was looking for some NYC mugs to bring back to coworkers & the SBux at the other corner — ’cause yes, there’s one on every corner — was all kinds to packed… but this location was a little more calm
Have to say I an NOT a fan of their new mug designs — why did you have to change the Collectible Mug designs?! :-(
So out of desperation & given the fact his coworkers collect these SBux mugs, the Mr got 1 of each design & we decided while we were there, might as well take advantage of their free facilities
Restrooms were okay & even though it’s unisex & there was a long line, we found it was clean… which says a lot given the swarms of customers who are constantly in & out the place
By the time we were leaving, the coffee line was literally out the door & looked just Ike its neighbor down the corner — guess we lucked into a slow patch!

First time I’ve met moody baristas at starbucks — tried to use a code for the first time which they mentioned was expired even if the email I handed them clearly stated the expiration date and that was the first time getting coffee today… also messed up my order :(
Was offset by my best friend being in town!

This has to be hands down one of the slowest Starbucks I have ever been to. Everyone was very nice, just very, very, very, very slow. I was about 5^th in queue when I arrived at about 10:30am, and left 20 min later with my grande skim latte with a much bigger line waiting.
Good thing the smooth jazz in there will keep you mellow while waiting.

Theater District inconclusive bears a Starbucks… big a-​ok. Store #2785.
On a Monday night pre-​theatre dinner engulfed a day’s old sandwich of turkey and Swiss at $ 5.75, yet it gets the job done. The line moves moderately with theatre crowd and tourists alike.

Nice starbucks, but unfortunately, not enough seating. And just like someone else mentioned, the staff is very chatty and noisy.
I’m giving it 3 stars because Starbucks still has the best coffee!
