Starbucks

I’ve been on crutches the last 2 weeks. I have to say the staff (esp. Chantel) have been amazing and so helpful, mixing my coffee and bring it over to my table. Since my last review I can also see the overall level of staffing has increased and the service is much faster. 5 stars for my happy place.

I suppose for now this will be my go-​to coffee place when I visit Toronto. For now. The staff is friendly.

Get my coffee here all the time, friendly staff and quick with the orders. They have a patio out for the summer, so definitely a bonus if you are looking to sit out in the sun. Pretty spacious as well, so you aren’t sitting right next to the road.

These guys are on the ball at this location. I stop in some mornings around 8am and it’s usually 4 – 5 guys running the shift. The lineup can be wrapped around the store (it’s tiny) & I can still be out in under 5 minutes. It probably has something to do with it being mostly businessmen ahead of me ordering just drip coffee, but I think the workers are just fast in general, too.
Fast, friendly, efficient. I like it.

This Starbucks is located at street level in a condo building. Wow — it would be amazing if I had a Starbucks in my home.
Staff are friendly and the service is quick. The only problem is the store size, it’s so small. There are 4 – 5 small tables and 4 seats at a window bar. As I quickly learned, the bright sun gets directly in your eyes sitting at the window bar. Kudos to Starbucks for installing blinds that are easily pulled down to keep the sun out.
The few tables were all occupied by people doing homework and/​or using wifi. I watched a constant flow of disappointed customers that had no where to sit. Maybe there should be a time limit for people occupying tables — especially when there are so few in the store.
A good Starbucks experience… if you can get a seat.

If you are looking for a Starbucks which has not eliminated its plug-​ins, this place is for you. It has a small sitting area but its cozy.
The music here is mellow, the crowd is not shady. The staff is sufficiently nice.
I come here due to proximity. its on my way to work and a few minutes to where i live.
If you have the starbucks reward card, you can get free same visit refills and free syrup customization on regular coffee. You have to swipe 5 times for the rewards to take into effect. If you swipe 30 times, you reach gold status, which is where i am at. Gold gives you a free beverage for every 15 you buy. There is also a customized gold card that gets mailed to you through snail mail. As for other gold card benefits, they are criptic about it — you get promotions for new drinks and other coupons for things they think you may like… so far i haven’t seen my card or any of the coupons/“other benefits”.
I told my friend who owns a Timothy’s franchise… she was surprised by this new tactic to retain and reward loyal customers.
I’ve been here too many times to work on assignments… but music can be somewhat loud so bring your ear plugs or headset.

This rating is to rate this location versus other Starbucks locations I’ve been to. This is a small Starbucks location with a cramped seating area. It’s very sunny in the afternoon and can get quite hot with all the glorious sunshine. Lots of media types come here judging by the buzz of conversation topics as CBC is kitty corner to this location.
