Starbucks

This place is madness. The employees are so loud. The employees act like they are in a club. They are non stop talking at the top of their lungs and playing their own music on their cell phones. I’m not an old lady and this stuff normally doesn’t bother me but They are so unprofessional!

Ok– re how they handle app orders:
This is where I’ve had the best experiences. Always ready when the app says and carefully set aside. I walk in there like a boss, passing the dozen chumps waiting for their beverages, give my name and its handed to me, sometimes even with a smile. Another time it was past am rush hour and a barista asked if I’d prefer steamed milk in my blonde roast. Why, don’t mind if I do! (Can’t choose that in the app; nice of her to offer)
But, like everywhere, check the order. Maybe 25% of the time they don’t add the «customizations» like milk or sugar that you select in the app.
Re the store: lots of seating options but often full. Lots of campers. Far enough from the bus stop that it’s not crowded with ppl waiting for the bus.

What happened to the usual staff on the weekends?! Why were they replaced with complete imbeciles? The new staff is sloppy, slow, and rude. I waited 25 minutes for my drink and it was wrong! For 5 bucks a cup, Starbucks needs to hire a respectable staff. This is unacceptable.

By far the WORST Starbucks I have ever been too! The girl who took my order was completely rude and didn’t know anything about her job! She wrote my cup completely wrong. And then the guy actually making the drinks omg. I had to ask him 3 times to fix my drink! Ridiculous!!! But I truly can’t get over how rude that girl at the register was though! Her tone not only talking to me but the other customers. WOW. This Starbucks manager should be ashamed of herself.

Orders here are handled swiftly and with no fuss, and the staff here are perfectly casually friendly and efficient. Seems they are steadily busy with a constant stream of patrons or with their duties behind the counter, however I will more often than not skip this place for deli coffee only because the Milk/​sugar counter is almost always a disgusting mess.
It is wedged in an akward spot and very short, I understand space is at a premium here in busy locations within the city, but for the premium price I am expected to pay per cup, this is inexcusable. I have started to opt for deli/​diiner coffee than deal with that filthy side counter for milk that is empty more often, with not a square inch not covered in spills.
Since they are so busy, I do not understand why they would not think to extend the self-​service area, or perhaps move it to the pick up counter so the employees can keep an eye on it and tidy as necessary. I am coming to this harsh conclusion after over a year of consistently leaving here with the impression of «ugh, people are so gross.» Even when it is slow, I have noticed that the counter is never in order and neglected by staff.

The s’mores frapp has to be the best thing I have ever had at Starbucks it is completely a dessert and a cup!

This branch moved to 245 E80th and with the move came a whole new régime… I was leisurely enjoying a venti mocha and a staff member came over and asked if I was going to purchase anything else and if not I had to leave. Their policy is that if you buy something you have 45 minutes and you either buy something else or leave. While the location is nice, new and reasonably clean it is definitely not worth the clock watching and being herded out of there if you overstay 5 minutes. Especially when there is no obvious sign as you enter or order or on the starbucks wifi homepage telling you that this is the case.

Better than Lexington and 78^th, not so crowded and plenty of seats available most of time. Next to lucks lobster rolls, good combos for lunch and cooffee.

Very spacious Starbucks, compared with other Manhattan Starbucks locations. They have a nice upstairs deck with a fair amount of seats and outlets for you to plug in your computers/​phones.
Not the fanciest location, but a great place for studying or getting some work done.

When I came here in June 2014, there was no wifi, and power outlets were scarce. Typical Starbucks drinks, very friendly staff, good vibe

This is like hitting Starbucks jackpot for people who are looking to study without the disturbances of loud obnoxious coffee drinkers! Upstairs great for studying!

This starbucks has an upstairs room made of brick and wifi waves. If you’re unemployed in the UES, this is a place to be.

Love this Starbucks because it wasn’t too busy when I was there, and there’s a spacious 2^nd floor which works well if I want a place to study for a while. Managed to snag an outlet, too!

One of the worst Starbucks at upper east. Man! Really??? The worst… THE WORST…

Insufferably filthy toilet with no toilet paper. I would have expected a lot better on the UES. Didn’t order a handmade drink, settled with bottled beverages.

Everyone knows what Starbucks is, what it’s good for, what it’s not good for. Pretty much, the Starbucks locations vary by available seating, and how good the staff is. The staff here is slightly better than average (for Starbucks, which is not very good at baseline.) I think there’s a second floor w/​additional seating, but I’ve never been up there. Really, I come here after getting my bagel at H&H. I like my Venti iced vanilla iced coffee (yes I know «iced» shows up twice, that’s what they call it). Like the review says: A-​OK.

Iced chai latte. Yummm.
It’s star bucks. Nothing special. Nothing bad.

It’s a Starbucks. Wish they had more than one bathroom.

More spacious than many of them since they do have a second floor you can go to. They also have a restroom, as is required by law at all the Starbucks locations (per a former friend who worked there).
For some reason, though, they had a LONG line at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. It was so long you couldn’t tell which one was for ordering and which one was for the bathroom. One guy thought I was standing in line though I told him I wasn’t & was simply waiting on my husband to use the bathroom.
Otherwise, it’s much like any other Starbucks. Maybe since they have a second floor, this would be the one for hanging out & taking meetings.

i like this location, huge second floor seatings for studying or just chilling with friends…
downstairs has bar like seating around the windows, that’s nice too for «spacing out» or people watch…
