Starbucks

I live close by and I love Starbucks so I’m here quite a lot. The staff is nice but I guess I could say I wish they worked a little quicker during those busy rush hour times. The one thing that i really don’t like in this Starbucks is that there is never a place to sit! I feel like every time I come, the tables about always taken by the same old regular guys that just spend their days here. Good place to come get your coffee but you have to be pretty lucky to get a seat here.

I’m not the type of person to give a Starbucks a 5-​star rating (well, okay, maybe one or two that have excellent service, plenty of seats, and always make my drink perfectly — so… maybe only one), but this Starbucks is different than the norm. Settled by the pier of Coney Island, I’d expect it to be busy (it was), but I only had one person in front of me in line, my drink and bagel came out quickly (and made properly), and the two different seating areas meant I actually managed to grab a seat (there were even a few open). There were also outlets near every table I saw, and some cool new cordless charging device using rings that I didn’t try but plan to return and try in the future (I’m a sucker for new technology).
Whatever bad experiences people may have had here did not happen to me — the staff was friendly, and everyone was as expected for a Starbucks (unless you count my finding a seat, which I suppose is a little unexpected).

I have seen (many) better Starbucks. Small, dark, and with minimal amount of seats. Good for pick up, the worst for seating and enjoy a cup of coffee.
We came here and we planned to seat and enjoy a hot cappuccino after few hours of walking the area. The few seats they had were already taken, so we just pick up the coffee and walked to the water. It was actually better.

I prefer this Starbucks over many because it’s not as crowded. The limited amount of seats might have something to do with it. Just pick up my order and go without pushing or being shoved to get the sugar packets.

This is not your usual Starbucks in the city! This is Starbucks in Little Russia!
Expect to meet some shady people inside, as well as to see a weird crowd hanging outside.
This is also officially the slowest Starbucks on the planet. There is always no milk, no nothing. Restroom is a mess most of the time.
I’m not sure how Starbucks inspects their location, but either they don’t know this one exists, or somehow it got off their roster, because this particular Coffee shop is a complete disaster!

I am giving one star only because I can not give zero star. The service is horrible. I went there about four months ago, bought sandwiches and a coffee to go, they grabbed the sandwiches and warmed for me they never asked if I wanted those warm or not. I mean they removed those from packaging. When I told them I did not want it warm, I never asked to warm the sandwiches for me the barista started making annoyed faces and eye rolls. What kind of service is this? They never ask for names, they made a coffee I asked for and PAYED!!! And they gave my coffee to someone else because when they yelled decaf mocho frap, some girl said that it was hers and grabbed the cup. I waited about ten minutes because well she may had ordered the same drink right? When I asked them about my coffee they got mad at me. Crappy crappy crappy place. Always dirty and full of Russian bums. Service sucks, people who work there absolutely no trained it seems like they were picked up from street randomly. (I apologize who are RESPONSIBLE and honest with their work but this happended long time ago and that day was absolutely unacceptable)

So i love starbucks, i’m here constantly. The baristas are super friendly and the drinks are great. Only cons are the bathroom is filthy and seating is very limited since people tend to stay there for hours.

I’m shocked, myself, that I am rating any Starbucks a 3/​5, but the atmosphere of any business must be considered, am I right? Regardless, following renovation a few months back, this Starbucks decreased its already limitedly low number of seats, which is not exactly a recommended thing to do, as, you know, people generally like to sit while sipping their skinny venti lattes. Needless to say, the only empty seat you will be coming across is the one conveniently placed by the homeless-​looking man who’s not actually homeless & who finds joy and pleasure in interrupting you and your work to have a conversation about a stripper he once had known and found on Craigslist.
If you like Starbucks, then come in, grab your frap, and leave.

Good morning starting with a good cup of coffe
Is one of my favorite place… that’s why i coming here every morning and joying this delicious coffe!

I bought coffee and crumpet this morning. There was no place to sit mostly because the same people practically live there most of the day. A man finally got up and I sat down. He came back a few minutes later and told me to get up because it was his seat! He said he went outside to smoke a cigarette. I called the manager who agreed it was the man’s seat! She said he bought coffee about an hour earlier and so was a paying customer.
I started crying I was so distressed.

There everyday enjoy the best coffee around brighton beach Ave, you won’t find better coffee anywhere

I’m giving one star only for their coffee. It was the slowest and the worst service I ve ever had. To make one glass of coffee without any line took around 15 min.

My local spot for a quick cup of coffee before getting on the train. The staff is really chill and friendly. Fully renovated, the store looks great and more spacious.

What A Dump.
Two friends and I stopped in this evening for some coffee and snacks. As we were getting a table my friend, a well dressed professional, went to use the restroom which has a code lock on it. When asking for the code an employe angrily told her that the restroom was for customers only. She politely told him that she was a customer, and that her friends were on line. He yelled back at her that she needed to purchase something first. This is a nasty and humiliating way to treat a customer. We left, it was all too unpleasant.
I should also mention that the place was filthy. Really, I’m not the fussiest person, but it looked like they never cleaned the tables at all.

Starbucks coffe chain in the middle of a predominantly tea and coffee drinking culture. Why do people complain when there’s long lines and a packed store? Did I mention this store is right near the beach and a bunch of schools? Is it annoying? Yes. Deal with it. How can people complain that they can’t study or concentrate in a loud store? Its a store. Think, go to a library or somewhere quieter to study. The bathroom here can be atrocious at times but what can you expect from bums, crackheads, and people who have no respect for anything besides themselves. Now, they have a code and a restroom for customers only sign the door that kinda deters people from just using the bathroom and leaving. People here don’t UNDERSTAND what the bathroom is for. It’s for customers and staff. Yes, there are state laws saying you need to have a bathroom available but people have to start understanding that its for customers and staff only. If you go to any other business near starbucks and ask to use the bathroom, they’ll tell you the same thing. People here can’t take no for an answer. Some customers here are basically animals that can talk. Bum problem? Sure. Brighton beach is filled with them. But when you have managers and coorporate saying to let bums in because they do sometimes buy things, what else can the staff do? Store is dirty. Yes, it is at times. Do people not understand that when any kind of store/​business has a lot of foot traffic, you expect it to be clean every minute? Be sensible.
The people who work here are very nice and do everything to get you on your way. When you come in during the morning or after school times or lunch, expect it to be busy. This area is a busy one. Park your car correctly and avoid getting a parking ticket over a $ 5 latte. If your’e late to wherever youre going, be sensible, again, and go to where you need to go. Don’t ask the baristas to make things faster because of your tardiness. They are a customer service business but don’t be those people that want everything catered to them. Countless times I would come here and hear customers argue and complain over the dumbest things.
I’ve been to many starbucks in the city and they do not match up to how this starbucks is. Main problem here are the customers. Thats it.

Cool little spot with plenty of sitting space. I couldnt find a place to eat in the neighborhood other than pizza ugghh! I walked up and down the avenue and was not satisfied with the selections so I ended up here, old reliable.
I grabbed a sandwich and ordered my regular now I know what I am getting here.
Staff was friendly and kind. Definitely would return when back in the neighborhood.

I really have seen major improvements to this location. Nice new seating and couchws have been added, wifi is quick and efficient, theres tons of new foods added from grilled cheese sandwhiches to new salads fruit packets and various yogurts and food platters along with various pastries and cake pops! I also love the new various types of coffee blends from many different countries and frappucinos and my favorite the shaken iced teas. I got the blackberry mojito and it was super refreshing and i look forward to trying the green tea peach lemonade next. Best of all the staff was super friendly and helpful, but this location is so busy that there isnt enough staff on weekends to make drinks. I also saw that the bathroom was out of order which is a fail for a coffee shop since coffee and tea makes people pee a lot! Will i be back here? Hells yeah!

Cons: Never any room to sit, bathroom is disgusting, don’t have honey available with the rest of the add ons (which is important to me because I LOVE honey and hate having to interrupt the baristas all the time for it), always a long line
Pros: Friendly baristas, take your order super fast, don’t charge you if you ask for extra matcha in your green tea, convenient location

Typical starbucks, but the wait was too long. The drinks were consistent with starbucks quality and the staff was friendly.
dont try driving here. there is no parking

I’m a Manhattanite. Now that you know this, I can tell you that this particular location in Brooklyn gave me complete culture shock! Until I spotted the Starbucks across the street. It was like a tiny piece of civilization in the midst of what I believed to be the nexus of the universe.
Inside, it was like I was back on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Great interior, plenty of seats. I initially came in to use the restroom and observed that the line for beverages moved fairly quickly. The restroom wasn’t that great but it served its purpose and was clean for the most part!
Hooray for Starbucks!
