Starbucks

Not a fun experience here, plus the Cashiers are too questioning about my frappaaccino, and wanted to police why mine had whipped cream on it! If you want rude, uppity, customers and employees blabbering about b.s. and life during their downtime, while 1 barista busted her ass to get drink orders out, please stop here. Also, this city had the same frickin sales tax rates and the whole state of TN and cities like L.A. Must be all those poor, little rich college students who live here! Who don’t care about paying it. Ridiculous what cities can add on top of state taxes… Anyway, I wouldn’t bother with this Starbucks again, if I’m in the area…

I come here often for my iced chai latte & to study! The baristas are kind, courteous and knowledgeable, especially a young lady named Lexi!

I usually drive through for a Frappacino and find the service consistently good. I find my Starbucks card handy for payment and enjoy the occasional free drink reward.

Starbucks came out with a newer mobile ordering feature. You use that and order in advance and by the time you get to the store your order is ready. Its highly useful especially for an always busy location like this one!

I’m so happy we finally have a Starbucks on this end of town! I love it. And yea, it might be a tad slow, but to be fair, this place is always packed so any complainers need to chill out. And also, the two times my drinks were messed up, I got them for free. Though I will say some of their food is hardly ever on the menu which is frustrating. All in all, it’s still worth going to.

So… update.
Starbucks apparently has ‘enforcers’ who then come onto Unilocal and harass anybody who gives them a bad review. I’ve now had TWO separate people private message and or *ahem* «compliment» me and calling me names that I’m pretty sure Unilocal wouldn’t approve of.
So the attitude thing? Yeah. That’s pretty much even more pronounced now. It’s funny because I have other not-​so-​positive reviews on here and nobody has ever stooped to name calling or threats. What exactly is up with that?

Very slow anymore! In the last 3 months I have waited 15 min just at the window. Inside is no better it takes them 30 – 40 min to make a drink. They are out of half of their product. 3 people stand around not sure what to do all they can say is I can’t make any thing but frappes sorry. I think a district manager needs to come in and in force training. This is crazy for peak hours.

The personal is friendly but the coffee is average. long lines for drive trough. Looks like a cyber Internet cafeteria.

The batista’s are always nice and friendly. I’m fairly new to trying starbucks and they always help me try new things. I’m definitely a coffee adict now.

Ordered my 2x/​Yr Holiday Exception to my non-​fat rule here this morning: venti non-​fat (milk) Caramel Brulé with EXTRA caramel & an extra shot. They forgot the syrup altogether…

Worst Starbucks I have ever been to. Been to this location twice. The first was last fall. I tried a new beverage and chalked it up to that, but after this visit, I know that these people don’t know how to make anything from the Starbucks menu. watered down and sour beverages!

Definitely my favorite Starbucks in champaign! Maybe I’m bias since I know the manager Brandon but regardless the employees are all very friendly and fun. If you ever have a problem with your drink they will follow the barista rule with out a single complaint!

Has to be the slowest Starbucks I’ve ever been to. They literally made one of our two drinks then made another order of two drinks before making our second drink. This store is either way under staffed or half the help is just really slow.

This is a good Starbucks with great service. The only thing is that the location of the parking lot really sucks. If there are a lot of cars, consider yourself stuck there. I usually park on the gravel on the side. It’s very congested. I’ve tried working in the Starbucks and it can just be very noisy and crowded. While I don’t mind noise, this is a heavy traffic area so it can be a little overwhelming. Nice employees but the atmosphere is crazyyyy.

I wanna thank people who work there, they have found my wallet and returned it to me. It’s good to see that we still have such kind of people around. Thank you guys!

Best starbucks ever! Everybody is always very friendly. They make us regulars feel at home. I usually have a Starbucks (sometimes two) every day so I visit this one often. I can honestly say the service at this location is exceptional compared to many others I’ve been in.

Novemburrrrrrrrrr. Endjoying a #Egg #Nog #Latte.on it first Seasonal Debut. nice place. awesome service here

Restaurant review:
This is the only starbucks that I know of in town… The parking lot is horrendous and super small. While waiting for my wife to get our drinks, I watched as another car pulled in sideswiped the side of another car back up and move to another parking space. DO NOT PARK HERE. I wrote down the license plate and reported it to the police. It looks like the plate was a defunct springfield car dealership and they could not track down the car. On top of that when the police came to interview the person whose car was struck they lied to the officer and said that the back which they had damaged themselves was the area of damage. I guess karma came around. Service is so so speed compared to Chicago starbucks. If I come again I will have to go through the drive through. No way am I parking here.
Pro: starbucks!, free wifi
Cons: super small parking lot, slow service

I worked for this particular Starbucks during the summer of 2012, so I might be a little biased with my opinions here, please keep that in mind.
The manager has always stressed keeping a clean and presentable store lobby, and the current baristas, as well as those I worked with in 2012, have always been very quick and efficient at making quality drinks. I have been visiting the drive-​thru at times this summer (2014), without letting the current partners know that I previously worked for the store and their manager (Brandon), and the quality of service/​drinks I have received has been phenomenal compared to most of my experiences at other Starbucks locations. The store is a bit out of the way, unless you are in or around the North Prospect area, but if you are looking for a good place to study or get some work done while guzzling down some caffeine, I suggest heading here above almost all other coffee shops in Champaign/​Urbana.

I love coffee and I am quite the fan of Starbucks as well.
I was very pleased that there was a new drive through option before we got on the highway to come home.
We got in line, we ordered, we waited and I was caffeinated.
Ahhhhhhhh
