Starbucks

Can’t trust they will get my drink right. This is the 3^rd time this has happened and I order it the same at other locations. Order at your own risk.

I love Starbucks and this is the location I most frequently visit. I always get the same drink made consistently well by the baristas.

Never got my coffee right from this location. Mostly I ordered through the app, so whatever I ordered should be clear enough, but no. Missing whipped cream when or a iced brule latte, and ice cinnamon dolce latte. Always missing something. I felt like they don’t care. Only few baristas that seem friendly.

The staff at this location are pretty friendly. This Starbucks is also a new renovation so it has updated amenities. There’s also a second sitting area off to the side of the order area.

Everyone is always friendly at this Starbucks and they work fast. I also love that I can always find a seat on their patio.

The cashier didn’t even asked my name for my Venti pumpkin latte… The order was ready and the barista just drop it on the table, waited for like 5 min until I finally asked if «that» drink was mine… The answer was «yeah» … SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR YOUR CLIENTS

Coffee and baristas are great as expected. This location also has a clover brewing machine. That option makes for some of the best tasting coffee available. However, not, sure why this location in the middle of Wicker Park closes so early at 9pm. Especially on the weekend when the surrounding area is really hopping. Definitely giving business away to competitors. Other coffee shops are open till midnight. Store was recently remodeled however there’s a little musty basement smell. Area and grounds around the store are a real disgrace with Starbuck rubbish and broken glass all over. Better leave your dog at home! One would think Starbucks and its employees would be citizens and take a few minutes to pick up the mess. Permit street parking only with active ticketing going on.

I love love love this place. I have gone to many Starbucks in the city. And working for Starbucks in LA, I have pretty high standards for Starbucks. This one is clean, friendly, and the drinks come out amazing every time. I though out my many visits to Chicago to see my family, I try to make this one my only one. They must have a great manger because no matter when I go, everyone rocks!
I have super complicated drinks, and it always tastes as if I had made it myself.
I never feel like I’m bothering them when giving my long complicated orders either.
Although, my mom said she had a few bad experiences here a year ago, it seems like they have clearly improved since then.

The guy who was working there was really kind to us, but the girl with red hair was awful. I turned around for a second, and upon looking back at the table I was using, I saw her using a broom to sweep off the top of my table while my things were still on it. What the hell? That’s filthy. I didn’t even know what to say. Will not ever go back there.

This is a wonderful location with a warm staff. I love the new layout but it seems to be at the expense of exceptionally slow drip internet.

Everything you can expect from a Starbucks, nothing special about this place. They remodeled this place about a year back so it is better looking than the years prior. The Oprah Chai Tea is a rip-​off though. Its the same old Chai with a name stamp and all you taste is Oprah and Starbucks’ greed in one cup. $ 3.45 for a tall when it was less than $ 3 for the original tall Chai tea latte. Get outta here.

The staff is so super friendly (and competent), and it always seems to be the perfect level of crowded in that you can always find a seat despite being busy.

Customer service is good but the food & bev case is rarely full and (most importantly, as many a remote worker will tell you) the wifi is slower than molasses. Seriously, it takes 30 seconds to open a single email with gmail in basic HTML. Not all coffee shop wifi networks are created equal and this one is not worth it if you need to do anything online.

I really like the staff here. They’re all very friendly! I also like the setup of this Starbucks. It’s like two rooms, which is interesting. It’s also in a pretty convenient location. I’d pick this location over the one down the street on Damen/​Milwaukee for sure.

The baristas are slower than molasses in getting drinks made, and their brains seem equally slow. They generally have 4 people behind the counter, and with even as few as 3 people in line, I wait 5 – 7 minutes for a drink. These idiots owe me cab fare for all the buses I’ve had to miss due to their lack of skill and knowledge of product inventory. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve ordered something with the cashier, only to have a barista tell me they’re out of a mix or ingredient. It’s a high-​traffic area, look at the size of your store, plan accordingly. And look like you care, a little. I know honey, it’s minimum wage. Coffee can be REALLY stressful, especially when all the prep is already done for you.
Stick with Alliance, Caffe Streets, or Letizia’s a bit further west.

Loud music so I take away a star… other than that what is there to say about a starbucks? They made me a coffee… it was overpriced… tasted fine… that’s it. It could have been a lot worse.

it is a starbucks. after the gym, i usually go here (it is the closest coffee place) to get a large black coffee and then walk back to my car and go to work. i wish there were a neighborhood coffee shop. even if they had worse coffee that was more expensive i would go there.
anyway, $ 2.46 for a large coffee, whatever. the two stars are for these reasons. there is usually a line, and other people usually order «drinks» so they pay and shuffle along to the next counter and await their steaming frothy mocha-​cappa-​latte-​soy-​lite thing. the people that take my money turn around and then make my coffee. the counter is about 8″ wide there and someone else has come up and started to pay for there specialty drink. my coffee gets put somewhere on this little ledge of a counter in between cd’s (CD’S!!! who buys cd’s anymore) and other impulse products, i have to reach around and/​or through the new person paying to try to get my drink.
i wish it were streamlined like everything else and i just shuffled to the next counter where my coffee would be waiting.
the other reason is the manager (?) of the place. at least i have seen him interviewing people before. he is so fake and bubbly, asking me about my day and where i am going, what i have «planned» for the day and stuff. my transaction should take about 30 seconds, and i dont want to talk to this dude about where i work or anything else.
it is just so annoying. like the movie office space, the boss that keeps wanting employees to wear «flair» and the fake office boss wrapped together. just leave me alone dude, take my money and give me coffee.

Friendly staff, but the coffee is never consistent. The store seems like it’s kept clean, and the food always comes out warm [if it needs to be heated].
I just wish they washed their coffee machines more often and brewed a little more frequently so they can keep the coffee fresh rather than leave it be when theres no customers.
Three stars for now… I’m looking forward to being able to change my review

ME writing another Star bucks review? SHOCKING. This is my new neighborhood Sbux (stalkers please stay clear), and I’m pretty content with it. Why? Well 1.) It’s an Sbux. 2.) Service is fast. 3.) Prime location ON Division. 4.) Deceivingly spacious; in addition to the main entrance area, there are several comfy chairs hidden out back. Great study space. :) All in all, I go to Sbux much less now given all the AWESOME independent coffee shops in Wicker (and I’m still pretty upset about this NO MORE FREE SOY MILK or SYRUP SHOTS BS). But when I need my Sbux fix, this location does the trick.

Far to many options in the hood to make the 5 block trec often but with a loaded Starbucks card in hand I figured why not. Grabbed a drink, something sweet, and a chair in the adjoining room to jump on line somewhere other than my place. Service was good, drink was fine, the pastry was tasty.
Only two complaints one they can control the other… must rely on common decency and that seems to be in short supply these days.
1. turn the music down please, really it is a bit much. if I am in there to work it is annoying, if I am in there to visit… makes the volume level go up on the conversation and I don’t want to be like #2.
2. annoying loud talkers. Seriously dude I really don’t need to hear about how you are going to save your partner money or get him into a new investment or what you want to do with your life. We are in a small area, keep it down please.
I’ll still pop in from time to time but not high on the list, sorry.
