Starbucks

I could have planted a coffee tree, harvested the beans, prepared a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich, and it would have still been more efficient than the store on 23^rd St.
It’s the slowest store in Manhattan, so only go here if you have 20 minutes or so each morning (that’s honestly not an exaggeration). The employees are slovenly at best, and apathetic at their worst. They have 4 – 5 people standing around at all times while people wait, and wait, and wait…
The Rewards system is also tailored to the extravagant drinks. You would have to purchase more than 25 black coffees to get one free. That doesn’t seem very rewarding. (No stars off for this corporate policy)

Awesome service and staff! Recommend as a point to stop in for meetings or afternoon java!

This Starbucks tastes like any other Starbucks. However, I had one problem with a staff member. Usually, the staff is friendly and helpful, but one young man gave me quite an attitude a couple of weeks ago. When I went for a refill, he was rude and snippy with me. He even had me take the covering off the cup, something no one at any Starbucks has ever asked me to do. And he did it in a very cold, harsh manner. His eyes were full of meanness. I guess he was having a bad day or something, but I have stopped going to this location. I simply do not feel comfortable going to a place where a cashier/​barista took their anger out on me.

I cannot get through the day without my iced green tea! Love coming to this location, so convenient and the staff is also so accommodating to my allergies. Don’t think we need to be so upset it’s a corporate giant? It’s creating jobs!

I don’t rate this much for a lot of places. Honestly love this place. Everyone knows your name. You feel welcomed as well.

I really do despise this location. The only reason I keep coming back is because I work across the street so it’s convenient. If once, JUST ONCE, they can get a mobile order correct (considering I’m paying almost $ 7 for a mediocre latte), then they’d get more stars. However, as always, I am sitting here at work now drinking a bitter latte because none of the flavors that I had requested were added and I do not have time to check out the coffee to make sure they put freaking caramel in it AS WAS STATED. I guess reading a simple order really is that complicated.

This is the Starbucks closest to my work, so I go here frequently in the mornings. In fact, the morning that I started my new job in my new city of NYC, this was the place I commiserated with my new coworker while we prepared for the big day we had ahead of us. This place holds a special place in my heart. The staff here is super nice and efficient. This place is great.

The hot caramel latte was great-​the cups are still festive. Service was quick and courteous. Atmosphere was friendly. The location was clean and modern.

I like my Starbucks how I like myself… Too hot for you!
i don’t know about you but i’m drinking some Starbucks right now… The staff seem nice… always friendly towards me… One time I messed up on my order (i accidentally ordered iced green tea latte instead of hot) so I quickly changed it… unfortunately too late… because they already made my drink… so I got to have both! yippy!

I usually don’t review Starbucks as I usually receive a consistently good product with service that’s not really noteworthy either in either direction.
This Starbucks was a little under par. I was there during mid-​morning so was able to walk right up and order. I had a few questions about the flavor shots available. Actually, not a few questions. One question. I wanted to know what they had. The barista dryly responded «vanilla» and stared back at me.
That’s fine. I like vanilla and my coffee was standard otherwise. No complaints about the quality.
I don’t need a hug from the barista, but a little enthusiasm or explanation on the lack of product availability would go a long way to me. Too bad this is the only Starbucks in the city. Oh wait, I have other options…

Acho como Starbucks é vazio e ótima opção para as noites de frio, peça um cappuccino grande enquanto passeia pelo bairro.

I believe I can vouch for any student or writer when I say that Starbucks has become a very important part of peoples lives. I know it has for wifey and I. We like to change up the scenery when studying, and Starbucks is a perfect scenery switch. The art deco and the music produce a very serene and comfortable environment. Starbucks makes you want to stay for hours and the best part is the COFFEE.
Usually if we come in to study, we like to get the blonde roast. Blonde roast is the strongest coffee and will keep you awake and buzzed for hours without giving you a really bad crash.
I am also very fond of the vanilla chai latte and their iced coffee on the hotter days. Frida (my wife) likes a hot skinny caramel latte and their amazing java chip frap with an addition of an espresso shot for an extra kick. Also, some of the favorites are: Cool lime refresher (with a bit of extra water), Hot chocolate (in the winter) and the Dark Roast coffee brew.
Now, I would like to talk about their logo. There is something about their cups and their logo that just brings you in, no matter what’s in the cup, even if it’s free water (which is very much appreciated. Thank you Starbucks) and truth be told no matter where I am if there is both a Dunkin’ Donuts or Starbucks around I would always choose Starbucks for coffee. It feels like the people who work in Starbucks are quicker and better at what they do. True proffessional baristas. Definately a lifetime customer.

Decent starbucks service and consistent drinks. There really isn’t much to speak to. Line wasn’t bad and drinks came up relatively quickly

This is probably the worst Starbucks I’ve been too. The staff itself is extremely unfriendly and I’m surprised as to how this Starbucks even runs. I’ve seen some staff members constantly on their cellphones during their shifts.
I remember I had ordered an iced caramel macchiato and they gave me hot. I asked for it iced and the barista obviously didn’t even apologize and simply made another drink and once again didn’t apologize. I feel as if the workers here are very unprofessional and very very very rude. I am so surprised this place has good reviews cause every time I set foot in here, I receive horrible service.
I love Starbucks and I’m a daily customer always enjoying their drinks. However this is one of the worst Starbucks I’ve been to with their service and workers. I work right by here and I’m disappointed to say I don’t really wanna step inside due to the services.

One of the better Starbucks around.

This is defitnitely not one of your larger Starbucks. There a few seats in the front and in the back of the store.
Because the store is shaped like a thin rectangle, the register and the line combine to leave very little thin walking/​passing isle after you get your drink at the end of the line.
It seems to always be busy, but the lines move fast.
Other than that, everything else is pretty much the same as all the other Starbucks.

Store # 13 539
Chelsea/​Flatiron District has become my adopted second home going on almost one year now. My food finds has become more difficult for cheap quality eats for either breakfast or lunch during a workday. In hopes of eating healthy, I’ve taken a strong liking for Yogurt Parfait at with fresh fruit (minus the granola nuts). Starbucks yogurt parfait at $ 3.45 do not disappoint.
This Starbucks comprises a staff on headset who take clients’ drink order as you wait for efficiency, thereby wait time at the queue is minimal. Line is organized for order taking and somewhat for order fulfillment. Seating is very minimal.

We’ve repeatedly encountered friendly service at this Starbucks, which isn’t always common.
Plus, there are a few tables to sit at if you are lucky enough to find a chair. If you do get a seat, I recommend you get your latte or cappuccino or whatever in a ceramic for-​here cup. It’s a beverage meant to be enjoyed while you relax.

Finally, someone invented the walk-​through Starbucks.
When I walk to the 6 train from the PATH each weekday morning I have zero time to dwindle, dilly dally, make small talk, contemplate my order, or wait behind 30 people all ordering the most ingredient-​filled drinks Starbucks offers.
Efficiency: Walk in, stand in line. Headset lady takes your order, passes it along to the front.
Wait a very short time. Scan your iPhone (or use that green paper you might have with you) and wait another very short time, listen to them call you «Tyler! Time to get YO COFFEE ON!» (or some derivation of) get your beverage, walk out, make the 6 train just in time, get off, get to work on time touting an empty venti iced coffee cup and… get your work on.
This place is the model of efficiency and it makes me proud to always be in a rush when I visit, all the time most always.

This location was the closest to my hotel, otherwise I would prefer another location. The quality of the service was poor. They take your order, but seem rushed and like they are in bad mood.
My drink did not taste consistent with ones made at other locations.

Really friendly baristas!
Quick service.
And they made my drink right.
What more can a coffee fiend ask for?
(maybe a sofa or a cushy seat)
