Starbucks

This Starbucks is in a Hotel and Office building. and on King. it gets busy at rush hours that will be a given. However, great seating options, fairly good consistent customer service, a great little windy stair case. note that the restrooms are in the downstairs hotel lobby. That is overall a good thing I would say besides the walking distance if you are going to camp out for hours of work. but I like to walk and they are clean and nice so I am a fan. If I lived closer I would frequent this Starbucks!

Starbucks across from MEC so nice and handy. Good place to wait while the helpful staff take care of mounting ski bindings on your new skis!

It’s a Starbucks — they’re pretty much the same across the board. This one happens to be in my office building and is attached to the Hyatt hotel, so it’s very busy with 9−5ers and out of towners.
They handle the crowds pretty well and try to expedite the line as quickly as possible. They definitely recognize their regulars and are friendly to everyone. However, the fact that they’re so busy means that your order does get messed up the random time or your drink isn’t JUST so — but I feel that’s the way with any Starbucks. That’s why they have those «oops we messed up» free drink cards!

This is the only Sturbucks I wouldnt go again, The service was not friendly and the guys who work there, were arguing with me, laughing about me, also one guy was telling me he does not like what’s my favorirte, etc. Kind of strange service. There are many other Sturbucks locations for me…

I have never been to a Starbucks shop when in USA. There is no reason for me to enter, I am not a coffee type, and I don’t have much time. However when I is in Toronto, the situation changed a bit. Yesterday I was walking around King Street, I found this shop. I decided to chime inside, and get a little refreshment. I ordered a cup of hot chocolate and croissant, and got out my IPad, and I quite enjoyed it, both the food and the environment.

Service here is ok… the lines can sometimes be insane, particularly between 8:30 — 9:30 am.
Other than that — the typical starbucks experience!

It’s a Starbucks people… the coffee was the same as any other Starbucks… service was ok.
’nuff said.

It’s got a beautiful spiral staircase, a decent amount of seating and a barista (baristo?) that actually SMILED at me. It was like being in another world.

I like how delightfully friendly the weekend cashier guy is here. Even if the traffic is VERY high volume from the street and the building upstairs.
This particular location has 2 floors, the cash register/​ordering is upstairs if you are walking in from the door off of King st.
There’s a spiral set of steps taking you upstairs to the cash. Fancy but not heel friendly.
This is my second time at this location and the warming up of the sandwiches takes SO long. It’s weird. is there an engine that needs to warm up before it heats up a sand which? I don’t get why it would take 12 – 15 minutes.
My regular order:
1 iced coffee with milk and caramel syrup — this has a strong taste but the caramel makes it a tad sweeter.
1 light Mocha Coconut Frappucino –without whip cream — delicious and the coconut sprinkles on the top really give it a kick against the regular mocha drinks
spinach and egg white wrap — fantastic veggie healthy snack. The wrap is multi grain and toasted.
tuna or roasted pepper chicken panini — yumm. It’s usually placed right at the front so you grab what looks good and they will warm it up for you.
The bottom section is usually full with people using and abusing the free Wi-​fi. There is only a few empty chairs facing the window so it’s really not and ideal location for sitting down. Luckily, there’s one down just down the street. Sigh, reason 45 789 of why I heart Toronto.

Yes, it’s Starbucks and I know they are a EVERYWHERE but I was in for a nice surprise when I stopped in to get a coffee the other day.
This Starbucks is two levels and has a surprising amount of seating for a Starbucks store dt Toronto. I find most Starbucks are really limited in their seating and you try to get out as fast as you can. Also, there wasn’t a huge line (I tried to stop in at the one on Spadina south of Queen and it was PACKED).
