Nice place to get my fix and rest my feet! Staff is usually in a great mood too! I have two Starbucks in Baltimore and this one is on my way to my motel and Lexington market. Get your caffeine on!

This Starbucks is not up to the standard. It’s large on the inside and very open. You get harassed by multiple people asking for money at the door. The inside was not clean trash on the floor and just not kept very tidy. The drink itself took forever to be made! I’m used to a barista working at somewhat fast pace considering the foot traffic Starbucks gets on a daily basis! But no, not here this barista moved at a glacial pace and had absolutely no sense of urgency at all! It took over ten minutes for me to receive my one frappuccino and there was only one person waiting ahead of me! Very sad! It is in the inner city of Baltimore so I guess that explains a lot! Not my style, will not be returning!

Seemed like they could use one more employee behind the counter during the lunch rush. It looked like a total mess back there, counters messy containers everywhere… the drink maker could have used some help for sure. They misplaced my cup and I ended up being late back to work(unexpected 17 minute Starbucks trip). Should have gone to 7 – 11!

The only Starbucks that makes a caramel macchiato taste like there’s a trace of coffee inside! They’re very accommodating. Yay for the baristas here!

This is an OK Starbucks. It’s the closest one to where I live, so I frequent it often. Otherwise, I wouldn’t come here. There are not enough tables to study at. Sketchy people frequent this store often. The employees and service are usually fine, so if you just want coffee and aren’t looking to stay, this Starbucks does the job. This is the closest real Starbucks to the University of Maryland.

This starbucks location has gone down. I have been there a few times and never saw it like this. There was trash on the counters, spills that weren’t cleaned up and the one female barista was a little rude. There was a person panhandling inside and everyone acted as if they didn’t see or hear him.

This starbucks is at a good location, next to the University of Maryland system and the associated hospital system. Unfortunately, this also means that sometimes this location is packed with people. From between 10am-2pm, there’s usually a line stretching almost to the door, which sometimes makes for a chaotic system at the checkout line. I have had the baristas totally forget my order or make the wrong item when it gets super busy, which adds to the wait time. They are always courteous about it, and fix my order without any problems.

Being a student at the University of Maryland, this is my go-to Sbux. It has great coffee and drinks, and the employees are nice… but sometimes they won’t have everything. And the atmosphere is actually a little depressing. Usually when I walk into a Starbucks I want to find a place to read or study, but when I walk into this one, I just want my drink and to get out.

Being a student, I do like coming into Starbucks(SB) to study. Two things I look for when I step inside Starbucks are: 1) a table in a semi-secluded area or corner and 2) outlet. This SB meets those two requirements. The two corner tables seem like the two best tables where you can avoid all the customer traffic. Thos location has outlets, but they only have two outlets and both are in the corner. So that’s adds to the fact that two corner tables are the best tables for studying. If you want to study/do work, get one of those tables. When I come to Starbucks I expect good wifi and coffee/drinks coming out quick — I will, no doubt, wait longer if they decide to do latte art, but other than that only fraps should take a little while to make and send out. My service was swift, I ordered my tall flat white and I got it in ~5 min. On the other hand, I am sad to say that this Starbucks has weak wifi connection. I lost connection 3 times. 1st/3rd time I had to wait roughly 10 min to reconnect. If your work is dependent on good and continuous wifi connection, I would not recommend coming here.

Not the best Starbucks I’ve been to but it’s close to my job so that earns them an extra star. I appreciate the fact that no matter how long the line is they usually get me out the door in less than about 7 minutes before 8:00. The seating area is a little small for my liking though, but I’ve only been able to «hang out» in there a few times on a Saturday waiting for the nail shop across the street to open so that’s not much of a problem for me. What is a problem for me though is after patronizing them daily they still consistently spell my name wrong(I’m kind of anal about that). But I’m still going to continue to allow them to give me a proper wake up call(cup of joe) daily.

If I could I would give NO stars! The manger was so rude to every customer that walked in the door. I tried to order a refresher and she replied with«we ain’t it», okay how about a crunchy caramel frap which was on the menu and she replied«thats seasonal», okay I’ll have a mango black tea lemonade, again«we ain’t got lemonade», so I reply you don’t have that drink and point to the picture, «we ain’t got lemonade. You can just order the tea» okay fine that’s what I’ll have. «Next» After getting my drink I sat down with my gf and two daughters, were sitting there chatting when Angie(the manger) yells«you’ll got to go, were closed». We turn around to see who she’s talking to and she’s looking at us. Meanwhile every table was full, there was a line wrapped around in the store. She proceeded to tell us we had to go or she was calling the police on us, she said«you ordered your drinks now you’ll got to go». Needless to say never going back there again. She needs to be fired! Our girls were so frightened by this women they jumped up and ran out the store. Terrible customer service!

I rarely come here and it’s always a disappointment. Today was just the last drop… of awful coffee that made me write the review. Too bad I walked too far before I could try it and couldn’t get my drink fixed. They managed to make a frap watered down and yet too sweet. That certainly takes talent. It was so sweet that after a few gulps, I was nauseous. Also, in what world does skinny or skim drink mean«put half a cup of whipped cream?» Every time I get something from here, it is either too watery or there will be a giant glob of ice. The regular coffee is always burnt. The lines get too long and I don’t feel like the staff are doing anything to facilitate expediting the process. I get asked if I want to get food while I am still in line, which is nice, but why not get my drink order while at it? Never again. Never.

Definitely not the best Starbucks I’ve been to. It’s in a rather sketchy location but I still frequent it pretty often since I live so close. The service is fine so you will get your drink but the environment is not very conducive to studying or conversation. The wifi is very shoddy and there is limited seating. I tried to come here and study a couple times and it’s just not an effective study space at all. The last time I studied here, a guy sat at my take and pulled out se rolling paper and started rolling a joint and then proceeded to smoke it inside. Needless to say I have not returned here to study.

Of the Starbucks restaurants in Baltimore this is the most difficult for a hundred reasons except for Heather, the sweetest barista who does her job and others while the rest just move in ultra slow motion! When did Baltimore start imitating NYC? It doesn’t matter if you tell the cashier your drinks, you have to repeat it twice to the barista and even then they may not get it right. They really need to add to, change the staff and renovate this store.

I’m only writing a review so you know where it is. It took me three days of failed breakfast choices before finding this location. Only three blocks up from the Hilton and Camden Yards. They have a full selection of breakfast options, so I tried the greek yogurt parfaits, bagels and fresh fruit on different days. Hot or cold coffee depending on the time of day. It made it easy to pop over to get breakfast before really getting up for the day. ;)

For some reason I never seem to get Starbucks unless I’m on a business trip, maybe cause it’s all expensed? Who knows. I was strolling through the streets of downtown Baltimore and stopped in for a cup of Joe. The baristas were extra cheery for it being so early in the morning… gimme some of that energy, y’all! Grabbed my iced americano and headed to the mini bar which was clean compared to a lot of other Starbucks but then again, i came in fairly early before it becomes filthy with the morning traffic. I was looking for one of those souvenir cups that you can find in every state but apparently Maryland does not have one… WHAT…Maryland Starbucks, where da cups?!

As we all know and love it’s STARBUCKS! So why four stars? The customer service is extremely great, fun, and makes a quick stop for a drink fun. There isn’t much more that can be said… 4 stars.

Not a frequent coffee drinker but I have been happy with my visits to this Starbucks. The most recent visit was on a friday afternoon where they were not too busy. Contrary to the other review the service was very courteous. We were greeted when we entered, the employee taking our order was friendly, and we were handed our coffee with a smile. This Starbucks gets two thumbs up for the service and a 4 star review.
