Starbucks

A BIG shoutout to the barista who made my hectic morning so much better today. You didn’t have to give me that free fruit cup, but you did – you are a wonderful person and I hope you have a fabulous life. Everyone here is always friendly, but this guy… above and beyond!

It’s Starbucks. With good service. We are working for the «great».

Convenient location, good ambiance, small shop so limited seating. Seems like they are short staffed but they are efficient and fast. Line gets long but they are cool and not stressed.
Got a gingerbread latte and chestnut praline without the praline topping, both without whipped cream. Chestnut latte was good, just enough flavor. Gingerbread latte was lacking in gingerbread flavor, tasted like a regular latte.
Clean and the employees are friendly. Good service.

Staff is always so nice here and the store is always clean. Same delicious drinks as all of the other Starbucks.

Every morning I look forward to coming into Starbucks, especially this location because from the moment I walk in until the moment I leave, I am always greeted with a warm welcome and smiling faces from everyone that works there. Before I can even order, the baristas already know what my usual daily order is and they have started to get it ready for me… I am always impressed with their wonderful attitudes and impeccable customer service. They make everyone who walks in there feel not just like a customer, but more like a friend. All of the staff (Joe, Dianna, Jeremiah, Jessica, Sabrina, Angelica, Rochelle, Asli, Tyrone, Zoewy, Sam and of course, anyone else whose name I forgot to mention) always makes each visit for me a happy one and I look forward to starting each day off with not just my Chai Tea Latte, but also with everyone here at the Shipyard Starbucks location! :)

I CANNOT believe that I am reviewing a Starbucks, however, I had thee most painful experience I have ever had at any food place since I can remember (thank you Tyrone Brown) anyway, one may seem as though its a little petty, but I take where I spend my money very serious be it $ 1 or $ 100 it’s my money and my time, I went in because my daughter and I came to Hoboken for a little peace and shopping on a Saturday. 90 degrees and a lot of walking so we stopped in to get a large lemonade, I don’t frequent Starbucks a lot because I don’t drink coffee but I drink their lemonades and mixed juices. I was waited on by Tyrone who was a huge disappointment, was not friendly at all and he purposely did not put my cup in to be filled which had me look very stupid as I waited and waited for my drink and him knowingly not put my order through… all because I wanted him to write Nicki minaj on my cup, he couldn’t take a joke it was obvious that I was in a good mood but he wasn’t…people word to the wise if you don’t like working around people and customer service isn’t your thing GET ANOTHER JOB!!! That one incident believe it or not ruined my whole day and made me not want to patronize that company! AWFUL EXPERIENCE and I pray that all Starbucks isn’t like this. Also I got the run around about getting a refund until I spoke to the manager angelica (still waiting for a call back) and also wanted to speak with a district manager. Just imagine waiting 30 minutes for a drink that’s never coming because Tyrone couldn’t take a joke which wasn’t even on him. bahumbug

This Starbucks is beyond painful. Line is always long and slow moving. Some employees are happy and engaged while others look put out having to be there. Other location (3^rd and Washington) is worth walking to.

I only go here because its across the street from my apartment and occasionally I don’t want to make my own coffee. Nothing special, it’s a Starbucks.

This place just can’t get it together. Keeps getting my orders wrong and always a long line with bad attitude. Their saving grace is the ample seating that loops to the back. The fireplace is a nice touch.
Keep in mind it is stroller central given the residential area this is located in.

It’s a good spot to do a bit of work over a coffee. Nice communal table, and a few really comfy lounge chairs in the back. Not the fastest during peak times, but off times they’re fine. Also good outdoor seating for the warmer days, nearly doubling seating capacity.
Quite overpriced on the food side, but what’s new… it’s Starbucks.

It’s so convenient and the place is cozy. This stuff there is good. And line is not so long here.

Love the lattes and the seating area. They always seem to be giving away free samples when I’m here :)

It’s a nice location and has ample seating. We got a chai latte which was fine and also the new vanilla machiatto. The machiatto was just halfway full and hardly had anything in it and I was done in like 5 sips. Very disappointing :(

Why does it always seem like feast or famine during my Starbucks visits? I will avoid dwelling on the negative, because today I had a chance to feast. Acknowledgement and request for my order while I was 2 deep in line, and a deft handling of my combo payment with my rewards credit and other less expensive item. Ample seating and an uncrowned wifi in the morning has me liking this place.

Yuuuup, reviewing a Starbucks.
It meets all Starbucks criteria…
Looks like a Starbucks, got my venti iced coffee relatively quickly, ok bathrooms.
It did have ample seating which is always a plus and outside seating which is a bonus.
It is also not far from the ferry, a block off Washington, near some shopping.
And apparently the staff knows the regulars by name, which is nice.

Good place. But not enough charging stations.

I actually enjoy the funky layout of this Starbucks. There was ample seating coupled with large reclaimed wood table. There is something about reclaimed wood that gives the place a certain pizazz. Funny enough everyone gathered like a hip family during thanksgiving, But with laptops.
My Batista was a definite highlight here. I wish I knew her name! She kept a smile on her face and pleasantly gave me my drink, though it was near closing time. She was really on her «A» game.
There is a nice park nearby and beautiful views of Manhattan. I am starting to think this is the best of the 3 Starbucks in Hoboken.

I have to echo other, more recent reviews in saying that the baristas are sub-​par. Slow, mumbling, and screwing up orders. They were just about incapable of communicating with customers — all of whom spoke perfect English. Filling each single-​drink order was rather painful. And it wasn’t even that busy when we were there! Management really needs to step it up.

Loosely classified as «enjoyably bipolar,» this Starbucks is exactly that. The eclectic mix of staff ensures a varyingly exciting experience each time I visit.
Some days you’ll find the cashier that looks so angry that I’m surprised the touch screen doesn’t get cracked from the incessant finger punching.
Then you may run into another team member who is so infuriated that someone didn’t show up for work that they spend most of their time walking back and forth behind the counter looking for different (usually amusing) ways to be dramatic about it.
Other days you will find the cheeriest, loudest bunch of starbuckians this side of the Hudson who all seem to have fared quite well in a «how many shots of espresso can we all have in 10 minutes» contest.
Most days they are so busy that I have repeatedly found myself undercharged, and I very often hear the «would you like the 4^th shot free?» when I get a triple latte. Incorrectly made/​extra drinks are fairly common when it is packed, so keep your ears open for a «does anyone want this? Its free!»
Watch for a long line of mid-​morning and mid-​afternoon strollers, and bring some earphones for getting work done — because despite the noise, there are a lot of tables to work at, not to mention the biggest (thanksgiving style) wooden table I’ve ever seen inside any Starbucks to date.

This Starbucks is one of the worst ones I’ve ever been to.
To start off the staging of the whole place is a bit awkward. During peak hours the lines can get a bit messy since there isn’t much space in front of the counter. Sometimes you are smushed against the glass door of the side entrance. The concentration of stroller moms, trophy wives, and bratty kids doesn’t help either. Like another reviewer said, this place is a ball pit away from being a Chuck E Cheese.
The baristas are a bunch of idiots. You have to repeat your order at least 4 times before they can comprehend (mind you I speak perfect English without an impediment). Unbelievably at times they only have 2 or 3 people total in the front to tend to dozens of customers. So if there are people in front of you in line who order complex drinks such as shakes or frappacinos be prepared to wait a while because at times it’s only one barista making all the drinks. Sometimes you’ll wait 10 minutes from the time you order to the time you get your beverage. Maybe I’m spoiled by Starbucks’ in the city, who knows!
The quality of the hot/​cold beverages is also subpar. On my first couple of visits here I ordered a Caramel Machiatto. First time it tasted like watery milk with sugar. Yuck. Perhaps the barista who made it was new, I said to myself. Next time I got another barista and it was still really tasteless. They just can’t get the drinks right here.
This is also not your ideal chill, work on your screenplay Starbucks. As previously stated this place gets rowdy with yuppie children, stroller moms, and other inconsiderate folk.
The only tolerable Starbucks in Hoboken is the one on 3^rd and Wash…
