Starbucks

Close, convenient, reliable

This store is awesome! Clean comfy and today’s drink was perfect. They recently rearranged the seating and added cute holiday cups for sale. And the place is incredibly clean.

So horrible. I must hate myself for continuing to come here. It’s on the way to the subway, but if I had any self-​respect, I would walk the extra block to go somewhere else. The staff of so bad. What are they doing? There is always a bunch of people behind the bar, but no one is servicing the customers. People are moving cups around, running down to the basement to get tops, refilling syrup dispensers, etc… Shouldn’t all of this have been handled before they open? It takes ten minutes to get an ice coffee. How can it takes ten minutes. Starbucks should send a team here to study how things should not be done.

Although I’m not a huge huge fan of Starbucks, I had a gift card to spend, so I found myself wandering in.
This spot is right on the corner, and staff is friendly. You know what you’re getting here coffeewise & it does the trick. Consistent while also basic. I usually get the house blend served black. On the other hand their cold brew is pretty good, so that’s an option too. For starbucks though I wouldn’t recommend the espresso. It’s not terribly consistent.
There are also nice benches out front to enjoy your brew.

They have a decent amount of seating, but not nearly enough for this downtown location. I had to awkwardly slide in with a rando because the tables are too narrow to comfortably accommodate two people with laptops /​sketchbooks.
They use AT+T Wi-​Fi, which is painfully slow; awful like everything else AT+T does. Time to upgrade to Google Wi-​Fi like many other locations in NYC and around the country.
The temperature is comfortable — around 69, which is way less cold than some surrounding locations!
They do have a bathroom.
The barista who helped me was courteous. No sassiness.

Spent over 15 $ and it’s taken over 15 minutes to get what I’ve ordered no apologies offered super unprofessional, and terrible service for the amount of money I’ve spent.

Worst. Starbucks. Ever. The employees act almost as if they despise the customers. «Prompt, polite service» would be the opposite of what you get here.
The management of this location is atrocious. The food display case is often in shambles, with labels/​prices knocked over and scattered all over the place.
If you ask for a cup of blonde roast (which is always supposed to be available), they always just say, «pour-​over only,» which essentially means «get lost,» since nobody coming to Starbucks wants pour-​over. The coffee you are able to purchase tastes horrible. They’re doing something wrong when they make it.

Kool spot for a quick cup of Joe! Stopped in late before 10 pm and was served promptly. Service was quite friendly, not many people drinking a latte at 9:30 pm like me.
Would definitely would return for more!!! ;-)

The staff at this location has recently changed. Expect long lines and a messy chaotic atmosphere. Location on Court Street is 10 times more efficient and professional.

Personally I think there’s a lot better quality coffees out there than Starbucks, but many of their shops have that chill vibe which I love so I keep going back. The coffee is decent enough. In New york its been hard for me to find one that’s not perpetually crowded and where I don’t feel like people are constantly on top of me. I do appreciate my breathing room and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this Starbucks location.
It really was everything I was looking for. It was early morning (around 8am) on a weekday and I wanted to get some study done. I found it very clean, spacious, a nice amount of COMFORTABLE seating (very important!!) (there was always at least one table free) and pleasant overhead music that might have been just a touch louder than background noise. While there for about an hour and a half, I saw a steady stream of patrons mostly getting their orders to go. Some sat and relaxed for a little while and then carried on with their day.
Overall great morning. Will def return.

Small, quiet, & cozy! Great place to sit & enjoy your coffee/​latte and converse…

I’m a regular at this location and the reason I’ve been going there so often is because the baristas are simply fantastic, amazing, friendly, near-​joyful, not too hip to remember your name and your drink and even bring it out to you sometimes. – and they are always willing to go five extra miles to help you have a great experience there.
I’ve been to coffee houses all over the world and many many Starbucks of course, and this one ranks amongst the best for customer service and all-​around good people.
But …uhhhh…totally don’t go there or I won’t have a place to sit ;).

I’m not really a big Starbucks fan, but this particular Starbucks is a real gem. The people who work here are so friendly, even at the ungodly hour of 6:30 am when I come in for my pre-​work coffee. I go out of my way to come to this Starbucks even though there’s one closer to where I live because its so pleasant and efficient.

The positivity behind the baristocracy at this starbucks is outstanding. There is one guy who has changed my whole outlook on life with the energon he gently rains upon the people in line. He makes me feel good in a completely (almost) non-​sexual way. Like if he made some SERIOUS changes I’d think about giving him a kiss. It’s probably too much for him to change his sex for a peck on the cheek, but a man can dream right? I’d say I have a dream but that would be a little much.
The coffee? It’s great, completely secondary to the experience, but great. It’s cold, and black, and awesome.

Amazing Starbucks. Truly love coming in here and having an amazing coffee made by people who seem to love their job. They are extremely nice and helpful.

The customer service here is excellent. I wish I knew the name of the barista that helped me, but the receipt only list an ID# which is 1 632 666. I was with my son and placed an order for a Ham&Swiss sandwich. Since I knew it would take some time to prepare, I got settled with my son at a table. To my surprise while I was waiting to hear my name and pick up my order, the gentleman had already brought both my sandwich as well as my coffee to my table. Unexpected customer service is always what sticks in your memory which is why I am writing this review.

Good, quick, personable service & of course I love the coffee! The always have all of the specialty/​seasonal items and promotions.

I used to work at Starbucks. Never drank coffee there.
Now I drink coffee. Lattes, anyway. (insert insult here.)
Starbucks makes shitty lattes. I hate, hate, hate the fact that NYC only has like 4 Coffee Beans. Why? It’s clearly superior to Starbucks in every way. Find one, try their no-​sugar added vanilla latte, and then match that up to Starbucks skinny vanilla latte. If you can honestly tell me the Starbucks version is better, more bold, more flavorful, whatever… I’ll piss in my hat. Because it isn’t. And my hat will stay dry, because you can’t tell me that Starbucks is superior. It isn’t. The end. I win.
You 15 million-​ish NYC’ers ought to start demanding more Coffee Beans. You will be happy that you did so.
Having shat on Starbucks coffee enough, this particular location never had much of a morning wait and the baristas are friendly.

In a time when other Starbucks are sealing off their outlets, this is one that still has plenty of seating and outlets for all to use. That alone endears this place to me. Where else can poor grad students go to study?

I had to write a review on this one because they gave me an extra shot on the house (after I already asked for an extra shot in my grande Mocha). I didn’t realize how much 4 shots would affect me — I am off my face on caffeine at this very moment!
Thank you Starbucks for making my brain explode.
