Starbucks

This Starbucks is probably one of the worst I’ve been to. The only reason why I go to this specific Starbucks is because it’s close to my work. I rarely ever come, mainly because I hate over priced ridiculously corporate coffee shops, but when I do, I always have the same unfortunate experience.
First, It’s always crowded. There’s really never any tables any time of the day except for late nights, so good luck if you come here intending to buckle down and get work done.
Second, It’s disgustingly dirty every time I come here. When I do find an open table, there’s always coffee stains or stale crumbs left everywhere. Their bathroom, especially, is always disgusting. Nothing says a cup of joe like the scent of pee and sight of trash on the floors. Really yummy.
Third, the baristas never seem to get my order right. I usually ask for a dairy free option of milk (all they have is soy at this facility, unfortunately) and it to be unsweetened. Pretty basic, right? Yet each and every time, It’s completely forgotten. The last time I came here, they never asked me for a size, just assumed I wanted a grande so charged me for one. Alright, great, thanks.
Next time you are craving Starbucks (which honestly, I don’t know who does), I would recommend avoiding this one as much as possible. It’s just not worth it.

While everyone was nice, they messed up my order. Ordered a gingerbread tea latte, and got a gingerbread latte. Didn’t notice until I got to work. Check your order.

This Starbucks is huge, and convenient. That’s it. There are like 20 employees working at once, but yet the place still manages to stay trashed. The milk and sugar bar literally look like people just came by and opened the sugar and milk and poured them all over. Nobody cleans anything up. There is trash and mill spilled all over the ground. I just went up to the barista and asked for them to refill the half and half, to which he said nothing and just looked down. Then another girl hands me a cup full of half and half… while I’m handing her the milk jug to be refilled. Wouldn’t it be easier to refill the jug rather than keep passing out cups full of milk?
Employees are rude. Place is shit. And it’s Starbucks. I don’t even know why I’m sitting here haha.

I never write reviews but I just feel like this Starbucks really needs to improve and am hoping someone sees this. I order a very simple drink when I go [Iced Green Tea Lemonade] & it is always a surprise if its correct or not. Many times it’s just iced tea, sometimes it has sweetener, I can have it in about 2 minutes or sometimes wait about 7 – 8 no matter how busy it is. The worst is ordering a pastry, you’re waiting even longer for that even thought I only ever get one of the items that they don’t have to do anything to & I always make sure to say do not heat the item but half the time its heated anyway which takes even longer. I will soon be skipping Starbucks all together.

Its terrific here but they stopped serving iced decaf coffee — how is that possible?

This is the Starbucks right across my my job so I am here literally 5 days a week. It is usually very busy during peak morning hours when I come but the drinks are usually made quickly.
The staff is for the most part friendly but when they are very busy you can feel kind of rushed and unimportant.
One stand out of this location is the Manager Jarvis. He is always in command of his team and jumps in whenever it gets hectic to help out. He is always friendly with customers and thanks each person he deals with.
As long as I work in NYC I will be coming to this Starbucks!

It’s fine — it’s a starbucks – but the staff can be kind of intimidating and a little rude sometimes

Good enough. The quality does not diminish at Starbucks for the most part. One thing I don’t like too much – but I don’t know that it can be changed – is that in a lot of the urban Starbucks locations, including this one, the staff is very rushed, and subsequently oftentimes this can make them appear a bit impolite.
I will continue to go here when I am in the area, though.

Very large Starbucks, lots of people taking up all the tables and chairs. Not a good, quiet place to study. Too noisy between all the ppl chatting and music being broadcast from the speakers. Good place to be distracted and when you want some noise.

Good seating space, esp for NYC. Bathroom is always out of order for some reason though.

Let me preface this by saying the following: i’m not a coffee person. I never drink coffee. I don’t even like going into Starbucks and I never buy anything from any of these places. This is important, because i want you to know just how much i DISLIKE even entering these places.
One of my gigs has an office not too far from this particular starbucks, and sometimes I have to go by here and grab coffee for our clients. sometimes it’s a cup or two… sometimes it’s a LOT of coffee. In every case, I have literally no idea what these people order because, like i said, i’m not a coffee person. I usually show up with a list and just hand it to the baristas there. I’m there so much that they’re just like «oh you’re back huh? cool.» and they just start typing in my order and marking it off with people’s names so i’m not confused. they realize that i’m not a coffee or a starbucks person and they make it very easy for me to interact with them and get the right thing. I’ve met a lot of the people who work here and they’re all really nice. People walk in all the time and the barista will just tell them their order before they even speak. it’s pretty cool.
in fact, one particular flustered day for me, the manager was helping me with my order and noticed my frustration, and asked what i normally get from starbucks. i told him im not a coffee guy so i never buy anything from there. he asked if i like tea. i said, yea sometimes. so he made me a fruity ice tea thing and gave it to me for free, just to try. pretty nice guy who you can tell when you talk to him cares about literally everyone single person who comes into his establishment. This place is just a good establishment and it’s just run exceptionally well. well done.

I’m not much of a Starbuck fan but on a suggestion I tried a Grande Caramel Macciato.
Deliciously unhealthy; so sweet!
Price: $ 4.75 + 0.60 for soy milk. Rate ⁴⁄₅
Note: The address of this Starbucks in 424 Part Ave. South but the entrance is on 23^rd St. next to the subway station entrance.

On the up side: Huge Starbucks. Excellent wifi; only Starbucks I’ve ever been able to watch YouTube unhaltingly. The place is nice and warm unlike most other Starbucks I’ve been to in Manhattan. Always get a seat, even when crowded.
On the not so up side: They always run out of teas, every week. Order more than you’ve been, you clearly don’t order enough. Also, while I do feel bad for them, there are often at least one or two homeless people in the place. It wouldn’t be an issue but for the odor and the fact that they are often clearly ill with cold or flu. I just change seats as necessary.
I gave 4 stars because the pros outweigh the cons for me.

Dunkin Donuts, gives better service than this place, and the music is too loud. Workers give you attitude too.

Yes it’s starbucks… but you know what I like about this specific one? Three things — Location — its in a prime part of town, convenient to ⁴⁄₆ trains and walkable to many other cool places. Size — its huge with tons of seating room — it can be crowded but found a seat relatively quickly. Predictability — has outlets, good wifi and well, you know what you are going to get in terms of coffee/food…Love it or hate it.

Ugh I miss Jeffery so much. Without him this place has been so sad :(But otherwise mostly great except during rush.

One of my favorite Starbucks locations.
Besides the awesome coffee they have ample seating, wi-​fi and outlets to plug into.
The most user friendly location in the city.

I love how large this Starbucks is; ample space and loads of furniture. Unfortunately, on weekday mornings, you will wait forever for your coffee. It should be expected during morning rush hour but I’ve never waited so long for my coffee at other Starbucks locations. This Starbucks makes me late to work … but it’s worth it! The staff is friendly and there really is effort from staff to speed things along.
As long as you avoid morning rush hour, you’ll be good.

Big Starbucks. Good amount of tables to work at. Didn’t see a lot of power outlets other than in back right corner.
The wifi is utterly brutal :-(

I came here after lunch to grab a small coffee and the interior really wowed me. The place is huge and there is a large seating area. The atmosphere is very chill and relaxing.
What really brought me to giving a 3 star rating would be the barista. There was appromoxately 5 – 8 customers on line with me and yet the line was really slow. A little after I returned to work I noticed that my drink was wrong, there was at most 8 customers and they still got my drink wrong.
This would be a great place to sit down and enjoy a beverage, nice and relaxing environment. Just hope that what you get is what you want.
