Starbucks

Not bad if your looking for one of the specialty drinks. But for a «coffee shop», you are limited to whatever has been brewed, usually 1 choice. Forget about decaf, never available, mild roast called «blond roast» rare. Better off at Dunkin Donuts if you want a regular coffee.
The specialty drinks are great, pricey but tasty.

Friendly staff, sometimes a wait, but all in all very good. I love the lemon pound cake but sometimes It seems a little stale.

I go to this Starbucks literally every day on my way to work. This was a borderline 3 – 3.5 stars but I gave it a bump because of the consistency. 5 points = 4 stars
1. Service and staff: Yes it’s a small Starbucks but there is always an adequate staff sometimes there are 5 people on duty at one time. It’s a high volume store and given the volume I feel they do a pretty good job. I am always given a smile and a hello, from time to time someone is having a bad day but no one has ever been rude to me here which is a feat onto itself in today’s world. Of particular note is the manager Jody who I have witnessed stocking shelves, wiping up spills, pouring coffee you name it. Point is the staff is dialed in to getting you the coffee you ordered and doing it right.
2. Products: Everything you would expect at a Starbucks of this size. Coffee beans, gift cards, on the go packaged meals (sandwiches, crackers and cheese) and items they heat up. I don’t make it a habit of eating here but what I have had wasn’t stale it was dated appropriately and sold prior to expiration and overall there is enough variety where I could grab a bite in a pinch. If you are reading this review you likely know coffee. Starbucks is what it is on the beverages, this Starbucks gets all the standard drinks correct.
3. Location: this is across from a mall in auburn and down the street from both 290 and the mass pike. Not only that but there is a staples, a library, a park, fitness and multiple retail shops in proximity. So for that it gets a star as you can get your coffee and within walking distance you can get just about any errand you need done.
4. Patrons and vibe: yes this matter particularly if you are sitting there. I’ve seen it all in this place, moms with kids, construction workers, police, and white collar. This isn’t the stereotypical high end coffee shop Starbucks is known for in some places. You get everyone here and it’s a decent vibe certainly this many people aren’t coming there because the coffee is bad… Once again a consistent coffee with good staff makes for happy patrons. In two instances I have seen where someone was unhappy with a purchase, the staff didn’t ask they just replaced it.
5. Interior: this is where they lose a star and it could have been 1.5 total. For small seating area and the line and entry are cramped. Additionally during the holidays the displays go up consuming more space and reducing the cream and sugar station to a very small space, which abuts the line waiting to order. Ya it can be a pain. Wifi, I couldn’t get a connection my son did and it was weak but functional. The bathrooms were clean but it was non-​factor, meaning they weren’t clean to the point of spectacular OMG I have to mention it. There are no couches and maybe six tables in the back where you can sit. The real problem is limited space at the register as it’s literally right next to the cream/​sugar and more seating. People flow in and out and when it’s busy it’s a congested mess that you want to depart not sit and enjoy. There isn’t much they can do about it, it’s a small venue.
So if you want a good cup of coffee it’s a great place to stop every morning (no drive through) if you want to sit get on your lap top and have a quiet cup of coffee in the back? This isn’t the place for you.

They finally moved that damn table. Soneone there had thing bassackwards. The table was away from the low lamps. They put the high tables and stools under the low lamps. So if you were taller than 5’11″, you banged your head on the lamps.

I go to this Starbucks when I have a meeting in Auburn. I generally roll in at 9:00, and the place is always slammed. They always do a good job, though, cranking out your milky/​salty/​sweet/​coffee beverage in short order with a pleasant attitude. They do sell the usual sweet and savory snacks, bananas, and other fresh fruit.
The seating is alright here, even when the place is crowded, because most people just grab a coffee and go. One of the two-​person tables in the back is VERY unsteady though, so watch out. Clean bathrooms too.
Starbucks is still shit, but if you order from the «gourmet» menu, or whatever they call it, some of those are pretty good. Like always, I’m partial to the Ethiopian.

Just like any Starbucks the coffee is good service is fairly fast at the Starbucks in particular has no couches and lacks seating the lights hang down very low so when you’re sitting at the bar tables with the barstools you tend to hit your head on them and then the other end of the Starbucks is just tables and chairs there’s no couches or lounging areas
But it is the only Starbucks with and I think for 3 towns
So it’s busy too but good coffee

Still love the service here!
People need to remember that smiles and being polite goes a long way. Everyone behind the counter deserves basic kindness.
I have had the occasional weak tea or missing shot. I’ve always been able to get them fixed without an issue.

This is by far my most favorite Starbucks in the vicinity.
It’s located on a somewhat busy road and across from the Auburn mall which is convenient. With that said, this location can get very busy at certain times of the day.
The baristas are the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They’re personable, friendly and enthusiastic about their job. They’re always more than happy to have a conversation with you while they’re making your drink. Sometimes they’ll remember your name and your order if you’re a regular!
The interior is nice and clean, but since they’ve renovated (YEARS ago), the small lounge area has turned into an extension of the coffee bar. There are a fairly decent amount if seats around the café.
The only complaint I have would be the wait times for a single drink. At a busy time it’s expected that there should be a long wait time for your beverage, but even during the slow hours it still takes quite a while.

I am a huge Starbucks fan and have been to many throughout the state b/​c of work-​related travel. The Auburn location has very friendly baristas, but this location has (by far) the longest wait of any Starbucks I have been too. Of course there are busy times of day at any location and lines can be long, but this one will literally have a line to the door that will take ages to get through. I find that other Starbucks move their long lines faster. I’m not sure why this one moves so slowly… maybe not enough staff behind the counter?
So if you get to this Starbucks and it’s not busy, or if you aren’t in a hurry and can wait in a slow moving line, you’ll get great service and great coffee/​treats.

This location is one of my favorites ! Yea, I was a little sad when they remodeled and took away the cozy couch and chairs (left two). The bar set up is pretty cool though. The Clover Machine is awesome and I do like the windows all around, But the real selling point to me are the Baristas ! They have some of the best of the best here. Even with the turn arounds of Baristas they just seem to continue to get some really nice and down right fun Baristas. Really making you feel welcome. I can’t think of ever feeling sad to see some of them leave to another location before. Always a pleasure coming here whenever my evenings allow :-)

Unilocal shows this location as drive-​thru. Will someone please tell me WHERE this drive-​thru is — besides Worcester location?!

I’m here almost everyday and the staff is friendly. The one complaint is the lines! They drive me nuts, 10 minutes for an iced coffee???

remodeled and very neat and clean. My go to for coffee… Always a line but it moves quickly. Can’t go wrong with the trenta (extra large) ice coffee… on a hot summer day. another fav. iced passion tea sweetened… so refreshing…

If isn’t not right they’ll fix it… But I’ve never had it made wrong so I actually would y know! Staff is welcoming and polite. Coffee is made fresh to order. Never stale or burnt. Perfect way to start my Friday!

I am in Auburn about once a week and this is a usual stop for me, the seating is not terrible but it does lack the comfortable leather couches and chairs that many of the stores have. The comments about lines are true, every time I am here I am amazed at the wait — this especially seems odd since they don’t have a drive thru?
Overall the store is clean and they have never messed up a drink on me. Also like the enthusiastic and friendly employees

The line here can be long during weird hours, but they have never messed up an order and they have incredible treats that are 1 – 3 bites in size

I love Starbucks and I especially love this Starbucks. The staff is among the friendliest at any of the stores around. There is no drive through but to me that doesn’t matter. It’s a nice place to grab a coffee and get some work done on the wifi. As far as the coffee goes, it is consistent. I have never been let down with a Starbucks cup of coffee. Others have mentioned long lines. I have gone at all different times and have not had to wait more than a minute. Usually there is no line at all.

Need better organization
7am long lines
Need better management

Friendly staff, pretty spacious. I’m not a big Starbucks person myself, but it is a nice place to have a chat with a friend or a date. It is very busy in this location, so it can be hard to relax when the waiting area is near your tables, but that is just a few tables and chairs effected by that.
