Starbucks

Went in here on Sunday morning to do some work (and to avoid the office setting) and this place was great.
The only downside (which I’ll put first) is the service isn’t overly friendly, but that could have been because it was 9am too.
The service was quick and efficient and got the orders in and out. which can sometimes be a hit and miss in Chicago Starbucks. They are often understaffed and slow, but this one had four people working, which was great.
The atmosphere was great. Brick walls, great art, and a cool, vintage phone booth in one corner.
The tables also had tabletop chargers that work for any device (Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, etc). It’s great for working with a couple of devices at once so you can get work done without so many wires all over.
Great Starbucks. if only all of them were like this.

This is the Starbucks closest to my house and if I were ever to move from my current location I would still go here!
Friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered! Memorize my order! Always clean!
I wish more starbucks were similar to this one

Friendly staff, free wifi, and awesome little outdoor patio to do some work in when it’s nice out!

I have always had a great experience at this Starbucks location. Coffee is always fresh and delicious. I love the layout of the interior with the exposed brick walls and the red telephone booth. Great ambience for a coffee shop. Pastries are delicious with a warm latte of your choose.

This is your typical Starbucks with a Harry Potter twist. The brick wall always reminds me of platform 9 & ¾! This is a good spot to cozy up with a HP book.
The staff are always friendly, quick and efficient.

They do coffee, and they do it good. Since this is a chain, and there’s reasonable expectation that its very similar, I won’t expand much. It’s Starbucks coffee, happy, polite baristas, and good coffee. Are you a member of their loyalty program? You should. Every 12^th cup is free!

I get coffee at this location multiple times a week because of its great service and atmosphere. This is my #1 study spot and everyone is just so so nice. Great staff. Thanks!

Came into the area for a PAWS adoption event. They were giving free coffee to shelter workers. I needed change to leave a nice tip because I appreciated the gesture of the free coffee. My $ 2.19 bottle of water netted me $ 15 in change for a $ 20. It’s like they built in their own tip. They did the same thing to another volunteer in my organization.

Maybe this is just the highlight of the parents’ in the neighborhood’s week to come here with screaming children in what I consider to be an adult meeting space/​workspace. I just can’t really come here without getting highly irritated at the blatant disregard for others and the hot drinks that are around. Children should not be allowed to run around in here like I constantly see them doing.
Please someone open up another coffee shop on Roscoe.

all you want out of starbucks nowadays is reliable drinks, correct orders, efficient service, and a place to sit and relax if needed. I believe this starbucks is one of the best at doing all of the above. Happy to find such a quality place in my neighborhood.

I stop in to this location probably twice a week when I am down the street visiting my local chiropractor. The scary or nice thing is even though I only go there twice a week a few of the baristas/​employees already remember my name and my drink. That’s always a nice thing or is that a sad thing that I spend so much cash on coffee. Who cares as a shareholder I am only adding to the bottom line.
The space is always clean although I find the brick wall and pillar in the center of the space awkward to get around to get into line to order. Parking is street and is usually very easy to find when they are not doing construction.

I try not to review big chains but just gotta say this was surprisingly pleasant. There’s a lot of space for a city Starbucks and a variety of different kinds of seating. I enjoyed my time here. It’s close to a toddlers class I take my nephew to so I’ll be back :)

This is my go-​to «get shit done» spot. It’s a little further away than the other Starbucks in my area. The staff is pretty cool and always accommodating. The baristas are always accommodating and the space is nicely laid out. Bench seating, large tables, window-​facing laptop and a PHONE BOOTH all work cohesively to bring the real hometown coffee shop vibe to this otherwise corporate establishment.

Starbucks’ are all serving you the same stuff so it really comes down to the staff. These guys are good.
The rest of the review will be written in hopes of one person reading it: The ****** that likes to get a coffee around 630 am with the company of his loud rapid-​fire barking dog that he ties up outside.
I’m trying to sleep dude, your dog clearly cannot be taken on this trip without barking loudly for 15 minutes straight. Whatever happiness you get from the company of that dog pales in comparison to the urge to step on said dog I have every morning.
Firstly — go F yourself for not realizing that this is annoying. Secondly, kindly leave the dog anywhere else and have a lovely day with your fresh coffee.

It’s Starbuck’s.
If you don’t know what a Starbuck’s is like, then you probably don’t know what Unilocal is, so I don’t know how you are reading this.
Anyway, this is a Starbuck’s, nothing fancy, somewhat small, but with decent seating. The staff is really great. Also coincidentally good for dog watching. People are almost always walking some small dog outside. I think it’s because the small dogs need a Mocha Latte to keep their quivering up.

Though oddly busy at times, this is a nice Starbucks with friendly staff and good coffee. Don’t expect to rush in and out during busy times, but otherwise, this is almost like a neighborhood coffee spot vs feeling too much like Starbucks.

This is a really nice Starbucks. I love the brick, seating setup, and the local art on the walls. Staff was nice, good coffee.

I wanted to be selfish and give this 1 star to keep this Sbux gem all to myself. But I just can’t do it b/​c it’s awesome! I love local, independent coffee shops, but Starbucks are like Corollas — there’s one on every block and they never let you down. I’m a proud Gold Card member at Starbucks, and frequently get pumpkin lattes, peppermint mochas, hazelnut lattes – um basically the entire menu.
*I like THIS Starbucks in particular b/​c it truly has a neighborhood feel unlike many of the other Sbuxes. A good amount of seating, ranging from booths, to study tables, to cozy chairs. A wonderful place to study. Friendly employees and free wi-​fi as well.
I highly recommend this Starbucks – just don’t go telling too many of your friends! =P

This Starbucks was once a diner (confirmed by Winter from
). This location has all the great elements that you could want: booths, oversided chairs, a fireplace, exposed brick, tables/​workspaces, and a fairly friendly staff (check out my posted pictures). The 3 times that I’ve been there the employees were friendly and after my drink was made engaged in small talk with me.
This store is one of the most unique in terms of design space and elements. Well worth the trip and the metered parking.

What better way to get to review #100 than to review a Starbucks in a city I’d never been to? Yeah, you can find a Starbucks practically everywhere on Earth these days, and I apologize for not seeking out a cool local Chicago coffeehouse, but sometimes you’re in the area, you spot the green siren, and you just have to go in for your fix.
In this case, we were in the area and had about a half-​hour to kill. This is a pretty cool Starbucks — I don’t think any within a 200 mile radius of my home are decked out with brick, nor do I think any of those feature a big old-​school telephone booth functioning as a community board.
There’s a lot of seating, and the windows offer a good view of the street. Even with all the large tables, the place was jammed — everyone had a laptop out, doing whatever. This location would definitely be a good one for serving as your «branch office.»
Service was competent, a refreshing change from some of the dull high-​school kids and hood rats that the ‘Bucks at home seems increasingly predisposed to hiring.
I’d have to say that in the realm of chain coffeehouses, this is about as good as it gets. Hence this is me dropping yet another 5-​star review. I’m beginning to think I’m an easy touch.
