Starbucks

Love this Starbucks. The staff is so nice and friendly, and they always have fast service. They really care about their customers! There is another Starbucks closer to my work, but I drive a little further to go to this one instead.

I come here almost everyday for a cup of coffee. It is a bit crowded but the service is always nice.

I love this Starbucks. Everyone is incredibly nice and it only takes you a couple of visits before they know your name. All the baristas are pleasant — if anyone’s ever having a bad day you can’t tell. The energy in this store is positive. It’s always a great place to stop by.

This was a pretty decent Starbucks, great staff who created a wonderful drink and you could tell they cared about it. Talking to their Guest’s very nicely and ready for anything. I would suggest this one for sure.

Extremely friendly staff here! It doesn’t take long for them to know your name and your drink of choice. I often spend time studying here as I find it to be a relaxing environment. The large windows let in a lot of sun during the day and there are great places to eat within walking distance.

This is the closest Starbucks to my workplace, and is the most convenient on the way to work, so I’m in here a lot.
Even when there’s a large crowd here the staff does a good job of filling orders quickly. And for 6am in the morning, they are typically very friendly.
The layout of the store does make it quite noisy if it is full of people conversing, as there are lots of hard surfaces to reflect noises. But what the hey, you can usually score a free app on the App Store or an iTunes download. I also appreciate the cutesy touches — local art, thank you notes, photos from volunteering, for a little store in a strip mall they certainly seem to do a lot of community service!
My only frustrations with Starbucks are not specific to this store, but overall store layout — every Starbucks I’ve been to, if you order anything to be toasted, it’s opposite where you are going to pickup your drink. Here the divide is not so severe, and fortunately your hot food is usually brought over to the drinks counter.
And traffic on York Road is TERRIBLE, but the whole Lutherville-​Timonium-​Cockeysville-​Hunt Valley area is an example of poor suburban planning and traffic engineering. (Ditto most of Baltimore County, but I digress.)

I don’t like to review big chains but this is by far the best Starbucks.
The people here are so nice! They don’t make it feel like a Starbucks, it feels more like a small coffee shop. If you wake up earlier enough they always give out free stuff early in the morning! Ummm hello it’s 6am and I get free stuff? On the day of the election I got a free bracelet and I’ve also got to taste some of their new holiday drinks! They make waking up early fun. The team that works there is SO nice and fun no matter how early it is. They always ask what new and exciting things you’re doing for the day to start a convo.
Love it :)

A trip t o Columbia brings the same cravings… Sometimes you need to channel Droz from PCU and just get some Coffee… Coffee Now! This is your standard Starbucks, in a stripmall, a few tables outside when the weather allows… All in all its a decent shop with some cool people.
«The Good»
— The staff are polite and smile as opposed to the robotic «going through the motions» attitude you sometimes run into.
— The coffee was good, I order a simple coffee with milk and sugar and it was exactly what I needed and wanted so good on them.
— The line did move fairly fast and the register guy then girl had everything moving so you did not think it was a «delay»
“The Meh”
— Nothing really meh to comment on.
«The Bad»
— Nothing really bad to comment on.

I’ve been to this location several times and find that it’s actually pretty decent. Apparently they’ve taken the info from Jon P’s original review and bumped up the standards a bit.
Every time I’ve been there, there’s very little waiting as the baristas seem to know everyone who is walking up. They see someone approaching from across the parking lot and start prepping his/​her drink.
That’s the kind of service I’m used to at smaller coffee shops. I love seeing it happen in Sbux.
It’s a small shop so apparently they don’t carry all the pastries and stuff that the other Sbux locations do. That’s fine with me; they do a pretty decent caramel macchiato.

One of several that have opened up in the area. Your basic Starbucks. What makes it interesting is to get a no water Chia Latte and watch the fun begin when there is a long line. After 6 – 7 orders the Barista starts screwing up the orders. The customers get all huffy like they are so important they cannot be delayed… give me a break, it is Saturday morning! Guess they cannot be late for their supervised visits with there kids. The staff is very nice and they try hard. When they make a mistake they give you a freebie for next time and a size larger than you originally ordered. Of course you can always talk in that pretentious «SB Speak» so you too can be cool.
