Starbucks

This remains my favorite go to/​walk to Starbucks. Good, quick customer service with a well stocked food section (plenty of variety). I prefer this to the too crowded/​free-​range child Wilson & Lincoln location. However, the microscopic parking lot that accommodates this location (shared with a Chinese Restaurant, a Subway, and overflow from McDonald’s) also remains, with metered street parking as your only alternative if you drive. Best to walk or if you’re «traveling», take the Brown line to Kedzie & walk a few blocks south to Café Mocha, Hot Cocoa, Bistro Box, and Breakfast Sandwich goodness.

Stopped in this location while driving to Albany Park community and was relieved it had a small parking lot. The lot is shared with other businesses in the small complex so it may be difficult to land a spot. The main street Kedzie is very busy at this location. This location is quite large for a Starbucks and has a good selection of prepackaged items. The baristas were engaging and swift with the drinks which I liked. On the flip side, when I received my green tea lemonade sweeten it was not the regular drink. The barista moved so quick he missed adding my lemonade to my drink. He moved so quick again that I had to wait 2 minutes to gain his attention and request a new drink. He happily remade the drink correctly and offered me to keep my first drink. If I’m ever back in the area I will visit this location again because I had a good experience, clean location, ample amount of room to comfortably move around, and the mishap with my drink was happily overlooked because of the positive response from the barista.

My favorite Starbucks. Baristas are so nice and make great drinks. Also take advantage of frapuccion happy hour right now :)

It is too cold here. all sorts of cold air comes in the door in the winter. can’t work here or stay. coffee must be to go.

Decent Starbucks like all the rest the only problem here is that you have a lot of high school kids coming in at all times that messes with the traditional Starbucks flow, you still get that standard coffee and you get it faster here than some other Starbucks that I have gone to and the employees are really helpful and nice if ur undecided on what beverage to get

Rarely do I ever review a Starbucks or any franchise restaurants.
This is the perfect Starbucks. Great staff members that make THE perfect drinks. The fastest public wifi I’ve ever experienced 50MBPS! Plenty of tables and couches.

Pumpkin spice skinny latte.
Looking at the pumpkin cheesecake croissant with more than a little lust…
Fast service– there never seems to be a line.
Smiling, polite staff.
Sunny inside tables to sip your latte, read a little and savor the morning.
I like popping by here on the weekend.

Tipping: this location is great. The team here is SUPERB! David here seems to be the Senior Barista who starts to make your drink as he hear you submit your at the registrar.
A few keynotes:
1. This Bucs is uncommonly quiet, so you could actually pound out an paper here.
2. The patrons coming in/​out here are most pleasant and people speak here.
3. Tgey have a parking lot.
Located at 4558 N Kedzie.
Montez G says, If your in our neighborhood stop in myBucs and see David and crew!

Place does get packed and, for someone coming from the suburbs, the parking lot is kinda small. Even though, I have never had problems with parking or my coffee/​tea.
Great place to unwind for a few or work if you need to.

Good Starbucks experience. Staff is friendly and seems to like engaging customers in genuine conversation. Although, clientele appears to fill this place quickly making a seat for a laptop a gamble. WiFi performance is shoddy and not as fast as other SB locations. Orders have been accurate (from my experience) and quick.

I will never be back at this location EVER again. I use to stop at this starbucks on my way to work and I would usually order a bagel and a drink, because I am midly allergic to lactose I order my bagel without cream cheese and obviously my drink with soy. Well last time I was there I got yelled at by the barista.
I was standing by the oven which is where I usually stand but I guess the lady in charge of the food didn’t see me and she took my bagel over to the barista, the bag was still open they looked at it and they laughed. After seeing this I did what anyone would do, I grabbed my bagel and looked inside it to see if everything was okay. When the barista saw me do this she asked in a very rude and nasty tone if something was wrong when I explained why I was checking my bagel she started yelling at me.
I went in for a bagel and some coffee not to be yelled at, there are definitely other places, CHEAPER places where I can get my bagel and coffee.

This Starbucks is so close to my house, that I end up stopping in all too often when I need a new atmosphere for studying. Everytime I’ve been in, I’ve found a seat immediately, though it can really fill up.
The place encapsulates Albany Park. It is almost always filled with middle age Middle Easterners, young yuppy mothers, a few people of Asian descent, and even a homeless person. I love the diversity of Albany Park, but I don’t like that this is one of the only coffee options for the area.
Their lattes can be ashy and if you get a small (or whatever they call it) there is too much milk. Go with a short latte (not listed on the menu), it you want to taste your espresso. All the other drinks I’ve tasted are sweet and sweet like most Starbucks. Staff is pretty nice, even if they screw up orders occasionally.
All in all a good place to study for an hour or two, but I am almost always disappointed by the coffee/​espresso they brew.
2.5 stars

This is the Starbucks I go to if I plan on staying a while. There’s always room to park in the free lot out front. There are overstuffed chairs for lounging, and plenty of tables near plugs, for using the computer for long stretches of time. They don’t play the music too loud, so you can actually think and get some work done. All in all, it’s my go-​to place for doing school work.

While I end up here a few times a week, it doesn’t mean that I necessarily like it. Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of Starbucks in general, but I am not a fan of baristas constantly getting my drink wrong or overcharging me. My usual drink is easy and yet every time I order it somehow comes out differently.
The lack of snack selection compared to other area Starbucks locations is also a letdown.
I wish this location was better but only because it is so close to a nearby train stop. It does earn three stars from me because of the parking lot and the location.

This Starbucks is always packed, so much so that I can never grab a seat.
Staff is friendly enough, last time I was there I was drooling over the cake pops on display, but I commented on how it was probably too much fat. The nice barista went and grabbed a nutritional sheet showing me the info. Yep, it’s bad.

Normally I wouldn’t bother reviewing a Starbuck’s but I like this one so much I wanted to take the time to put it in writing!
Great service from the friendly staff! I have become a bit of a decaf Café Americano lately and head over there several times a week. My drink is always perfect and they never act annoyed when I ask for an ice water.
Spacious location with (usually) easy parking, plenty of electrical outlets and spaced out seating.

To the boneheaded employee who gave me a regular coffee instead of the half caf/​half decaf I asked for: If I’m asking for half decaf — THERE’S A REASON!!! I can obviously tell the difference, natch, seeing as it’s four hours later, and I’m still all jumpy and wired.
Obviously you were too lazy to actually brew more decaf like you said you needed to, and instead just gave me a venti regular and hoped I wouldn’t notice. Well, you were wrong. Now I have to look over the shoulder of every person getting my coffee from here on out. Grrrrr…

This place isn’t different from any other Starbucks but I find the staff very friend evertime I visit. I like the outdoor seating and if you have a dog, it’s ideal on a nice day.

When I am feeling rich, or whenever my Mommy sends me a Starbuck’s gift card, you can find me here in the afternoon, using the free wi fi, which was easier to set up than I had anticipated. For winter, I have changed my signature Skinny Vanilla Latte, into a Nonfat, no foam Tazo Chai Latte, which I am sipping on right now. The snow is coming down in 60 625, in a few minutes I will be heading outside to make some Snow Angeles.
Otherwise you can find me at Dunkin.

I don’t come here too often, but for a Starbuck’s it is comfy and neighborhoody. It’s a great place to sit and chat or knit!
The staff is friendly and pleasant. Parking is a bonus (but sometimes it gets pretty crowded in the lot).
