Starbucks

the employees here are complete assholes. i ordered my usual blueberry muffin and grande green tea latte and i always ask for them to be on separate bills because who doesn’t want an extra star or two and this punk of a girl says no, we’re busy. there’s a line. like i get it but pretty much ALL every other Starbucks is busy and legit it takes like less than a minute so it’s like ?! rude attitude

Really nice people who run the place. Good environment, lighting, etc.

*TAYLOR* is the Best Barista I’ve ever encountered in easily over 100 Starbucks around the World I’ve been in.
Come here for the comfy leather chairs but make sure Taylor prepares your drink.
He’s super cool and calm under pressure. Uses your name and confirms your order whether 1 or 5 drinks. Taylor hands our drink with a Smile and the ever elusive *Eye Contact*.
He epitomizes wonderful *Customer Service*!
Promote him to train ALL the other Baristas and make him part of the backbone of the Starbucks franchise.

Not all Starbucks are created equal. This is a nice one with well chosen kinda funky music and a spacious layout with nice little square tables and friendly staff. Good place to stop by and relax after a busy day.

Close to greyhound terminal and opens early

Good management and friendly staff make this location one of my favorite sbux downtown. Can get really busy so go during off peak hours for the best experience and snag a seat inside or out in the mall.

I love their service, fast and friendly, and accurate. I hapoen to drop by this location whenever I visit downtown area. One day, I been serve by a trainee, forgot her name, but she doesn’t seem like a trainee at all, she know what she is doing and works like a pro… she end my order with her beautiful smile. Worth a repeat visit.

Maple Macciatio was not very maple flavour. It was quite disappointing, but this is purely based upon that one drink.
Considering that Starbucks is really not a restaurant per say, but a small shop to buy smaller goodies.

This is the most relaxing, calm Starbucks I’ve ever been in. The layout inside is open and friendly with lots of space

Starbucks that gets my name right. Sometimes.
It’s something!
Other starbucks have terrible spellers, coffee is pretty consistent with other locations.

coffee. standard. seating! students! yup.

I can’t with a good conscience give any S’bucks location more than 3 stars. That being said, this one is my favourite.
Even this local lovin’ lady craves a holiday latte from time to time, and they are in full swing again, folks! I get the half sweet (that’s half the syrup, ’cause that shit will kill you) Gingerbread Latte with no whip. It’s pretty damn good. I’ve heard good things about the salted hot chocolate mabob, but haven’t tried it yet.
Who doesn’t love the caffeinated cornucopia of folks on laptops?
PEPPER POINTS: For the big table at the back and multiple outlet locations around it. Ideal.

This Starbucks is just inside the Ryerson School of Business entrance off the Eaton Centre and next to the Canadian Tire on street level. It’s a very small location, with only bar seating inside of it and some tables and chairs out in the hallway just off of it.
Between classes it fills up with students, sometimes the line is more than 20 people long, but somehow the staff here manage to keep it moving quickly and everyone off to their next class with a drink in hand.
I was here for a Starbucks Community outreach event representing the Toronto Feral Cat Project. The manager was great and very accommodating. They allowed a few local charities and non-​profits to use the space corridor space to recruit volunteers with the lure of free coffee. While it wasn’t the most successful event for my organization (not the right demographic we need for volunteers) it was a very nice space and the staff were awesome.
They closed off the event by making all the charity reps a drink of their choice on the house. It’s probably the last time I’ll get to enjoy a soy latte from Starbucks without paying extra for the soy (still ticked about this, can’t give 5 stars because of it). The soy tax is a serious bummer for vegans, the lactose intolerant and anyone who knows a little bit about casein (the protein in milk) and cares about their health. Soy does not costs Starbucks, which produces its own line of soy, .60c more than cow’s milk! Down with the soy tax!
Okay, end rant. I like this location. Avoid it between class breaks because that’s why the line grows to be super long. I’m assuming class breaks happen just before the hour or half hour so go at an odd numbered time. It’s also nice that you can get to this place through the Eaton Centre from Dundas Station without going outdoors in the winter.
Ignore the photo posted of it, that is the Dundas & Elizabeth Starbucks.

Always happy to come to Toronto and have my «local» Starbucks. The staff are experienced and friendly, even with a long line, it goes fast and they always get me order straight.

It’s Starbucks and this location doesn’t disappoint. Wonderful service and nice baristas to talk to. The renovation opened up the space for more chairs and a larger ‘student table’. Which is great for meeting friends or hiding from them to do some work!

props to the management of this starbucks. i have frequented different starbucks all over the GTA, as I have lived in different areas of the city. now, i am at school near by to this one and… seriously…MOST CONSISTENT LATTES EVER.
they are full to the brim and they taste good. always.
every once in a while, at other starbucks, i’ve gotten pretty crappy drinks. here? they are always good. no matter who the barista is!
i’m impressed.

Being near the office, this is a regular «Starbucks fix» location. They have opened the place up with a more open floor plan and furniture and this has much improved things. During the morning rush, the line up can be pretty significant, and during the day this place is always busy. I’m still not sold on the whole free wifi thing as it means that people park themselves at coffee shops like Starbucks forever. Especially during the afternoon, finding a seat can be difficult amongst all the studying students.

This Starbucks is the closest one to my work and my coworkers frequent this location multiple times a day, so I have plenty of interaction with the staff here.
I have to say, this is probably the best Starbucks I’ve ever been to. The service is outstanding, the staff are always friendly and they’ve never screwed up my beverage. I don’t go here multiple times a day, perhaps 3 times a week, but I’m always greeted with a smile and the regular staff all recognize me. The store is always clean, the display products are always temptingly delicious-​looking (and usually delicious too) and they’re pretty fast with turnaround, even when they’re busy.
This location does get a lot of hits from students and faculty, as well as shoppers in the area (I dont know so much about doctors and nurses since there’s no hospital in the vicinity), but the seating area is usually partially full (or full at lunchtime).
The thing I can’t rave enough about is the staff. They’re just fantastic and very nice people to deal with on a regular basis.

Very convenient and friendly Starbucks. Seemed to have enough seating to accommodate guests — most of whom seemed to be nurses, med students, or doctors.

Nice service.
Open early on Sunday .
Free wireless, that also works in Canada!
Oh, and they also took my gold Starbucks card.
I was expecting SOMETHING to go wrong with one of these things, but I was pleasantly surprised that all of that worked out seamlessly across the border. Thank you!
