Starbucks

This is a really good location for a Starbucks stop! Fried let staff that makes a real effort to remember you every visit and even share a few laughs in the morning! They have fast, efficient service — AND they keep the whole place spotless!

I only come here to meet online strangers selling unusual things. Clean bathrooms. Sometimes okay chairs. They always sell out on cookies by 3pm– I blame the youth in our society.

Great location in downtown Cranford, across the street from the train station. This is a newly-​built store, and as such it is well-​maintained. The staff are friendly, the beverages are good, and the store interior is always clean. I recommend the Cranford store over the Westfield location because it is impeccably clean in comparison.

Before we ventured to the Cranford Fair that day, my father and I came in here for some lunch. I redeemed my two Gold rewards in favor of some Chicken Sante Fe Paninis. The person at the cash register who rung me out had a pleasant attitude. The waiting time for the sandwiches to come out were very minimal.
For those who don’t know what the Chicken Santa Fe sandwich is, it contains grilled chicken pieces, bell peppers, Pepper Jack Cheese and a spicy sauce on flat bread. When it’s all toasted up, the cheese melts. As with any location, the sandwich tasted fresh and NOT overly spicy. This sandwich has always been a long time favorite.
As far as drinks are concerned, we only got water since we had coffee in the morning. If we come again, maybe we’ll get a coffee drink. But we also got a tube of Sea-​Salted Chocolate Almond Bites to split on for dessert. As always, this was a sweet, tasty way to end a fine meal.
«NOT Marvelous Madeleines» — It took me a while to realize that Starbucks changed their infamous Madeleines. We felt that the new version WASN’T marvelous because the size was smaller, the taste was too plain, and the price was the same. The old ones were bigger and had a better taste. This will be the last time I’ll be buying that stuff from Starbucks.
The place overall looked clean. The decorations looked modern. Several tables that were available were electrified with power outlets, which was convenient for those who wanted to charge up their laptops or other portable electronics. More importantly, the seats were comfortable, unlike the hard wooden ones at the Union location on US-​22.
Overall this is a very good location. We’ll probably come back again.

Typical Starbucks, baristas are friendly but deserves 3 out of 5 because it is tiny. Because of the size, finding a seat can sometimes be a challenge. There are no sofas, just small chairs with two top tables.
It isn’t a good Starbucks for studying or getting work done. When it gets busy, the line backs up onto the seating area.

In terms of accessibility, bathrooms are accessible but very difficult to get to because they are located in the back and tables are packed so tightly makes maneuvering even a narrow manual wheelchair challenging.

Every time I go to this Starbucks, I always feel happy. Service is good and staffs are very welcoming :)

Why have a Starbucks when there’s a rockin joe on the other side of the train station?

I frequent starbucks all across NJ. I have to say this is one of the nicer locations I’ve been to! The staff is ALWAYS polite, and they are on top of their service and I’m never waiting too long. They are also very knowledgable about their ongoing promotions (especially during the winter sticker for holiday drinks promo) and they are one of the ONLY starbucks that still offers me my receipt. I will always stop by this starbucks when I can just because I know my beverage will be on point!

I love the warm feeling and great service that I get every time I go. They are open early and late. So much better than that Joe place in town.

LOVE THIS PLACE! It’s very clean and the workers here are so friendly and nice! I come here all the time and the workers know me (Liz and Andrew are my favorite). Would totally recommend! Its the typical Starbucks plus friendlier

One of the cleanest, organized SB’s I’ve been to.
Of course Rockin’ Joes is better, but it’s light years ahead of that SoRo place.
Consistent and well managed, hopefully will stay that way.

I spent 8 hours studying at this Starbucks earlier this week, and I must say that it’s the nicest one I’ve ever been in. I love the ambience and overall seating arrangement — from the stools to the lounge chairs to your usual tables and chairs. There’s an abundance of outlets in this location, which I really appreciated. I chose a window seat, which meant lots of natural lighting. I also found the playlist to be just the right amount of background noise without being distracting.
The baristas here are very friendly, prompt, and helpful — not to mention that they make some really delicious drinks. My passion tea lemonade had the perfect proportion of sweetener to lemonade, which is hard to come across.
This location is right across the Cranford train station, so it’s also convenient!
EDIT: This is also the only Starbucks that manages to spell my name correctly. Have been here several times since my last review and still love it! Best staff ever.

I can’t speak volumes about this Bucks location, since I’ve only been in once. However, it’s new in Cranford, and as usual, it’s up to Starbucks standards.
Maintained well. Clean. Sparkling. and Serving good drinks quickly.
Will update on their consistency when I frequent the store more. So far, ¹⁄₁ and A-​OK.

I really like the location and décor. Very fresh because its a new store. The vanilla macchiato that I got was way too sweet, which is not my typical Bloomfield Starbucks experience. I will definitely be back though to try something else. Could have just been an inexperienced barista.

Love this place! and for being new they still make the drinks just right (that doesn’t always happen). Really a great Starbucks — oh and the bathrooms are extra large and unisex which is so nice for moms with kids.

To Jason f the only bad reviewer.
You admit you were wrong. Rules did not need to be posted he nicely told you the rules. It is not like they called the police.
You are not allowed to free load. How could you spend 3 hours and not buy something? Disgusting. Buy 1 tall coffee for $ 1.50…
Go to a public library if you cannot afford $ 1.50…this is a retail store. Not the point they are empty. I would have thrown you out the. First day, you had much better treatment than a leech deserves.

Welcome to Cranford, Starbucks. Quick, clean and relaxing, right across from the train station. Staff is super friendly. Christian and Kathy help get your day going right.

Glad they put one closer to my home! I’ve been there almost daily since they’ve opened. The line moves quickly even though they are getting busier.

It’s new and clean and your typical Starbucks. I see two problems. What happened to the size of the muffins, scones, bagels, brownies, and desserts? They shrank about 60 percent but the price didn’t. This is for all of Starbucks and not just this location. We visited with another couple on a Saturday night at 9:30 pm after having dinner at a local restaurant. The selection and size of desserts were disappointing so we just stuck to the coffee.
Here is the big problem. There was only one table available at this time because it looked like we were in the middle of lunch hour at the local middle and high school. The majority of them were just loitering and not drinking anything. All of the were on their social media devices. Starbucks needs to do something about this because it will continue to be a problem. See Westfield for an example. This is not a hangout. GET OUT and letting paying customers sit and enjoy something.

This new StarB’s has got a NYC downtown loft feel. Very comfy work area, or just a cool hang spot. There’s another local café in the area — Rock’n Joe’s that’s popular with the locals, myself included mainly because they offer almond milk as another alternative milk. I can’t have dairy or soy and I’m sure I’m not the only person since it goes fast at the other cafes — like &Grain in Garwood. So it would be nice to see StarB’s offer almond milk too.
Free wifi always a plus!
