Starbucks

This is a licensed store not a franchise. Its not owned by Starbucks. No matter. I would describe this as a basic Starbucks location. The gals are friendly but the place has more than a few «regulars» which make the atmosphere boring. There are too many kids who don’t pay and hangout and make a lot of noise here at times. No free refills like the regular locations, no redemption of offers. Coffee can be burnt at times. If you don’t like it, get a pour down fresh cup and the gals who work there will do it. Its clean and the employees do a good job to keep it that way.

Coffee is weak for Starbucks. The food in the case looks like it’s a month old, and I’m talking about the pastries.
I like sitting there with friends but I drive to Somers Point for authentic Starbucks coffee. Big difference.

I frequent this Starbucks, and although it isn’t part of the corporate chain (it is a franchise), until today, I have had pretty good experiences here. The equipment can sometimes be quite noisy, and on this occasion, coupled with noisy children, an employee was more than disrespectful toward me in my inability to hear her. In fact, several words come to mind for the kind of condescending she was, but I will refrain from using them. I spoke to the manager about her obvious attitude problem, but I don’t think she cared. Not even remotely.

The staff is very friendly. On weekends during the summertime the line in the morning is always out the door, but somehow the staff gets it to move extremely quickly. The quality of their food and coffee is right on, and this is a great place to get breakfast in Margate.

I am super disappointed in this Starbucks. The charge «cooperate» prices but when you try to give them Starbucks membership promo discounts for drinks or food, they will not honor them saying conveniently «They are not cooperate». I will never come back to this one again.

Nice and cozy in the heart of Ventnor, NJ. I liked the feel of this Starbucks. It had sort of a loft feel with the high ceilings and exposed ductwork. Service was as expected.

For all my years of chain-​swigging coffee, I have to concede that the Margate Starbucks was the gateway drug that turned me into a full-​blown caffeine addict. I used to ride my bike to this place after middle school with my girlfriends to pick up chocolate-​chip frappachinos… It was the start of something beautiful. For many years Margate’s Starbucks was a source of excitement and slow-​growing brand loyalty. Only later in life, when I had sprung out of my small town, did I realize that as far as Starbucks are concerned, this one is only mediocre.
It’s a franchise. lt doesn’t have all the frills of a typical Starbucks… no sandwiches, no hot food, sparse pickins as far as solids are concerned… The drinks are all good though, and the staff is friendly, not slow and inefficient like the employees at The Walk Starbucks.
The real problem is the shoobies (as can be said for much of the island in the summer) … but forget trying to get coffee from June-​August any time between 7 and 10am.

Starbucks coffee is highly overrated. I have been on a tour of a coffee bean processing facility in El Salvador that is a supplier for Starbucks and talked with people involved in coffee growing and learned first hand that Starbucks accepts coffee beans with a lot more defects than other big buyers like the Italian Illy Café or the Japanese coffee companies. I have traveled a lot in other coffee growing nations — Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, Nicaragua, the Oaxaca region of Mexico — and experienced first hand countless coffees far, far better than what Starbucks sells at such a high price. and the baked goods at any Starbucks are mediocre, I assume they all come from some centralized facility. In any case, despite this the young lady working the counter at this Starbucks was very friendly and welcoming and I was happy to come in on a cold day for an espresso machiatto. This location is quite small (limited seating capacity) and they close at 7 PM everyday, which seems awfully early, even given that this in somewhat sleepy Margate. Free wi-​fi.

I have a house in margate and have went to this Starbucks many times. They’re prices are much higher than any other Starbucks, they’re hours kinda suck and the coffee is consistently burnt. Very nice customer service but they really need to work on their coffee brewing skills.

They made something for me that was not on the menu.
They had Green tea Frappuccino’s that we got on our way to AC. Nice and clean.

I don’t like this location at all. It is one of the last remaining free-​standing franchised Starbucks in our area. Unfortunately this means the drinks menu is rarely updated (still uses the old style from like 7 years ago), and they really do not know how to make the drinks properly.
What really is weird is that the location tries to impress the tourists by taking the attitude that they are the «ultra-​fancy» coffee shop. I mean really…, you charge five dollars a coffee but you have poor investment in your property and your drinks suck compared to other Starbucks. Drive down to a real location in Somers Point, much much better.

Ultra happy folks makin’ ultra fancy coffees.
