Starbucks

We ordered a venti iced caramel macchiato to share. It costs $ 5.30 I think it’s quite expensive. The place is descents-​quite, lots of tables and chairs to sit on. People read newspapers, eat outside foods here, group meeting…

I love Starbucks, I just wish that this one had a clover machine. They are all very nice, they will charge my statbucks charge as many times as I want for separate drinks and they are totally cool with it. Very clean

This is by far one of the slowest serviced Starbucks I’ve ever been to & it’s a shame it’s the one I use the most and in a high traffic location. Sometimes there are at least 3 – 4 employees behind the counter yet only 1 making specialty coffees/​drinks. Often you have to wait more than a couple minutes to get plain black coffee. As most Starbucks now, this one has been remodeled to be more functional than comfortable.

Lmfao! 25 minutes for a strawberry smoothie. I could have grown my own strawberry field in that time. Never again! Time goes backwards here.

I used to love this location with comfortable couches and that beautiful long wooden table to the right. The décor used to be so cozy and they have decided to renovate. I totally do not like and it no longer feels comfortable. They removed the couches and changed all chair to hard wooden chairs. I can no longer do any work here and will have to find another location.
The staff is still very friendly but the atmosphere is no longer the same.

I have to be honest this place has gone downhill at light speed! The bathrooms have no working ventilation. This has been true for years. The air conditioning system is out of control in the summer to the extent that you go back to your car and get a jacket. The window covering is broken at times and the glare and heat from the sun make using a computer or iPad very frustrating to say the least. You will see people jump up and switch seats when someone leaves to get out of the uncomfortable areas. Wait times vary by who’s working and the time of day. First you wait to order and pay then sit down if you can and get ready to wait about three times as long for you drink… which probably is made half assed because of the line up of cups and one person making drinks. It is not unusual to see workers walk out and take their breaks while the lines are ridiculously long.
They have just recently remodel the front of the store and ruined the best part of the experience by getting rid of eight comfortable leather chairs which had created a very warm friendly environment in which many people would read, work on their computers and socialize. Replaced by smaller hard wood chairs that are less comfortable than what you would find in an airport and tables that wobble so much that they have to jam them together in rows of three to keep them from wobbling and spilling your hot coffee.
I could go on but you get my point. Another place that lost its way!

I frequent this Starbucks regularly. There are 2 people that work here that completely stand out to me when I come in. I know that my experience will be extra pleasant when they are working. When they work together it is just an added bonus. They have been making my drinks for years and are flawless at it every single time. Mel & Chris are 2 of the most awesome baristas ever!!! I seriously consider not even waiting in line when I don’t see them working. I’ll start with Chris since he is usually on the register side. His personality is out of this world. He cares about customer needs and will help you with anything you need. Mel has been here for quite a few years and she know every single customer that walks through the door or so it seems. She has drinks ready quickly and accurately. When new seasonal drinks come out she is quick to tell you to try it. 100% of the time she is correct and I always find my seasonal favorite when I come. I cannot speak more highly about this Starbucks. Thanks for doing what you do everyday Mel & Chris.

Been here twice, SLOWEST Starbucks I’ve been to. & Ive been to a lot of of Starbucks!

Yeah. Looking at my old review, it’s time for a revamp. Ready? Here we go!
Ever since I started my senior year at Rutgers-​Newark, I came here multiple times for their White Choco Mochas and Peppermint Mochas (seasonal only). That was also when I wrote my old, short review, which was written at a time that I didn’t care much about Unilocal.But now, I come here on a once-​in-​a-​while basis, and I must write up on my most recent experience. Unfortunately, what’s also changing in my revamp is the rating.
At the time I went, the line wasn’t very long (the line was long during some of my previous times). What I’ve always liked about this particular location were the baristas. They were always polite and patient when they taking the orders. As far as waiting times for my drink and food to come out were concerned, I didn’t have an issue. But that was probably because of the fact that I was never in a hurry whenever I stopped in here.
More in regards to my recent experience, we had the Peppermint Mochas. It was a good taste of chocolate and peppermint mixed in. Of course we could never go wrong with whipped cream and mini choco-​shavings on top. This was perfect for a cold day, especially when you’re sitting down.
This location is mid-​sized, and bigger than the Westfield one. There were several places to sit in both sides of the store. In addition to the separate seating areas, at the right side of the store, there was a long table where various patrons could sit down and enjoy their drinks and/​or food. Some Starbucks merchandise was also located at the right side of the store, even though some were also located in the front, which was right where I walked in. The store itself looked nice and bright, and wasn’t noisy with bratty, texting teenagers (you’ll still hear easy listening music in the background, which is typical), unlike Westfield.
So why did I remove one star? This location used to have the soft, dark, and comfortable LEATHER chairs. But now they’re all gone, and replaced with hard, wooden chairs. While the chairs looked new, nice and bright, especially under the sunlight, they weren’t as comfortable as the soft ones. I think they did this so patrons could leave as soon as possible so others could sit down.
The free WIFI here works, but can be sluggish at times. You may even get dropped once, prompting you to reconnect. That happened to me when I was here. Also, when I tried to check-​in on Unilocal via WIFI for this place, my app couldn’t locate myself or any surrounding locations, and asked me if I was a ninja. Really!!! When I switched to my 4G Mobile Data, I was able to check-​in without an issue. In regards to the WIFI, the upload and download speeds can be quite slow. If you don’t have to upload or download anything big (small is OK), then just don’t, but do use it for basic browsing, e-​mail, messaging and light social media purposes.
Overall, the atmosphere, drinks, food, and service will always make me a fan of this location. Cheers!

I hate to do this, because the staff was nice. However, I got royally F’ed here. I stopped in very quickly on a Saturday. I ordered 2 Trenta iced coffees with extra espresso shots in each. I paid with a gift card, and $ 5. I dropped the extra bills into the change bin. I waited 10ish minutes. Finally, a guy said, «John?» I responded. He said they were out of iced coffee, and asked if I wanted an Americano. I said no thanks. He said they were making more iced coffee now. I asked how long that would take. He said 10 minutes. I said I needed my $$$ back, because I had to run. The manager came out, refunded my gift card, and gave me a few bills and change to get to the total cost. I said I threw a few bucks in that tip jar, and could I grab them (yes, I know I’m being a TOTAL cheap ass here, but I was FURIOUS). The manager said it was illegal for me to retrieve my tips. So I left, after 20 total minutes, down a few bucks, with no coffee. Honestly, if this were some mom & pop joint, and they had run out of iced coffee, I get it. But this is Starbucks on Rt 22, on 2014’s hottest day to date.

This is in the smaller side and I don’t find it too busy very often. The barista’s are very friendly, as I expect from all starbucks. Drinks are the as any other starbucks. It is on the smaller side and all but 1 table is designed for a party if 2. I like it because it’s conveniently located in the median of 22 so you can pull in going east or west bound. Make sure you bring a sweater though because im always cold in this one.

Not the best Starbucks I’ve been to by any means. Sometimes the lines can get excessive — and the rate at which they sat drinks out is also a bit slow. The staff are decent to you and the space is pretty solid.

Coffee is good, but the morning staff is awful here to much singing and playing when all I really want is my coffee and not to be late for work. They need to be made aware that customers are on there way somewhere. Evening staff is way better !

Although, a little in the small size this Starbucks has a counter with stools, which is pretty cool!

This Starbucks has to be updated looks over used. The employees at this establishment work slow idk if its always like this but when I have visited it is.

Nice smaller Starbucks. Been here a few times over the last year. The store was decorated and stocked nicely for the upcoming holidays.
The location stinks. It’s located in the middle of route 22. Tough getting out of the lot during busy times. You end up having to pull out into the fast lane of 22 no matter which side of the lot you go out.

Place is a little warn… needs some updating to look fresher. Had two orders of coffee both were good.

Had a eggnog latte in the morning with some friends. Very goood for starting the morning. The cashier was very nice to me as well.

A nice big Starbucks, in a horrible location (well, I hate Rt 22, so I could be biased). Drinks are good, and the employees are pretty nice. But I’m not going there unless I’m desperate.

OK — so starbucks… you’ve been to 1 you’ve been to them all — right? NOT! This starbucks is the one that I will come to hands down every time. I love my venti zen tea and on some days… its probably not so wise to spend money on hot water and a tea bag — however… I have to say, when i know i am gonna have a tough day… i take the extra 5 minutes in the morning and spend a few extra dollars to stop here for a little dose of AM Happy! Two stand out employees who really make my day are Rebecca and Wanda! They keep that line going in stride… they are pleasant people to see in the morning and they are just all around really nice ladies and the reason I stop at this Starbucks in the morning when I pass so many others. They really start my day off great + the Venti Zen Tea — keeps me great!
