Starbucks

This is my favorite Starbucks in Gainesville! It has a bunch of seating, outlets, extended hours, and a drive thru! It is also conveniently located on Archer Road, so I like to stop by and pick up some coffee when I run my errands on that side of town. Another advantage is the giant parking lot and if you get hungry studying, there are restaurants within walking distance.
On another note, I wouldn’t really recommend this Starbucks to study for long periods of time. It seems to be the ideal place for socials and meetings. The reason I say that is because it is always loud and people watching can get distracting. I would recommend coming here late at night, less people and everyone seems to be focused on getting things done.
The inside of the Starbucks is very clean and the interior is decorated very nicely. The service is reliable and they have a lot of employees making drinks and taking orders. The employees are actually very nice when the place isn’t busy. When they are busy, they try to get all of the drinks out in order to keep traffic from building up.

I love this Starbucks location. It’s extremely close to where I live and the people who work there are always friendly. If there was one thing I wish they could do better on was add more seating. But I do understand, the store space isn’t the biggest one. But other than that, one of my go to places for a coffee fix.

Nice Starbucks with efficient service. I tried the Strawberry Lemonade carbonated energy drink and was pleasantly surprised. For 90 calories it was pretty good and wasn’t overly caffeinated or extremely sweet like other energy drinks on the market.

I like this Starbucks, and I usually go to this location when I am in Gainesville.
They recently remodeled also, so it’s much nicer inside then it used to be.
Pry my favorite drink is Quad tall americano with room.

Ah, Starbucks. One of my guilty pleasures. Always the same Venti sized Chi tea latte, with a shot of espresso, 2 pumps of vanilla, made with soy! Just the thought makes my heart warm and my eye twitch. This location is not my favorite. They are slower than the Newberry road store, and have gotten my order right one out of 4 visits. With that said… It’s on my way to work and I will be visiting them again, and again, and again. I think you see the trend here. IT’s that damn caffeine and the warmth in my soul that keeps me going back for more.

Conveniently located on Archer Road, this Starbucks is a good destination for people looking to get a quick caffeine fix at anytime of the day. However, since it’s the only Starbucks location on Archer, you might run into some wait depending on the time of day or day of the week. Seating is an issue sometimes, even at 10pm. Staff is usually very friendly and will try their best to get you your drink in a timely fashion.

The store was clean upon entering, to go meals were stocked, but beverage case was not stocked. We were able to order quickly, and the cashier was pleasant. We ordered a flat white with two pumps of classic. There was a combination of hard and soft seating, with a majority being two seat café tables. Our drink was ready in under five minutes. Our drink was made correctly, and they got our special request of two pumps of classic. Our experience was good, not great.

Cards on the table, I’m not sure why I’m writing a review of a Starbucks. It’s a Starbucks. No better or worse than any other Starbucks. It’s not the reserve in Seattle, but it gets me by. There’s usually plenty of seating, unless it’s exam season. Also there’s a drive through so that’s dope, I guess.

I wouldn’t usually give such a low score for being crowded and slow– but considering Starbucks is an international chain you’d think they could get it together. Got 30 minutes? You’re going to need it if you come here! They actually moved into a location that is smaller than the last. You can’t get to the line without bumping some idiots laptop– waaaay too crowded. Thinking of doing the drive through? Don’t. You’ll be stuck forever

This location always runs out of its food items by around noon each day. Despite that they never increase their inventory so after waiting in a line of 10 cars or more, you can expect the same answer, «we don’t have anymore of those». It’s like they don’t care about making money.

This Starbucks always gets the job done. I come here when I need to be productive. It is conveniently located on Archer Road. There is always plenty of parking and most of the time it is not too crowded. I like how it is open late. Most coffee shops in the area close at around 6−7pm which is way too early when I need to study.
The drinks are standard. They are pretty good, but obviously not top notch like other coffee shops in the area. I really enjoy getting a doppio with a pump of caramel. It is the closest thing on the menu to a Cuban coffee. The service is a little slow, but the baristas are helpful and nice most of the time. It gets really cold in here so make sure to bring a sweater. The wifi is reliable and there are many outlets if you sit at the large table.
This Starbucks is a comfortable place to go to be productive. You don’t have to worry about it being cash only, not having parking, or having limits on your wifi. It is like the comfy pair of flats in your closet; familiar, ordinary, but good for everyday life. No Instagram photo ops here. Save those for your Louboutins.

Quick and pleasant atmosphere. They even have outside seating. I didnt realize until aftrr I got back to my room, they wrote happy birthday o. My cup. Its the little tbings that make a difference in this indusrty. Nice selection of things to buy for your lunch or when you have a craving for one of their refreshers.

Two words, clover coffee
Two more words, reserve coffee
Mix those four words and you get some great coffee. This location has a great selection of reserve coffee and I have not felt let down yet.
Good coffee, friendly staff, average service/​wait time

They really need to build a good coffee shop around here. I tried the Bay Island shack that is walking distance from this Staryucks and it’s not good either.

Drive thru is just one mess !!! line long like my life and then they dont have again almost anything i wish they can keep up with inventory in the house. Then the lady in the speaker was so rush till she made many mistakes. not good

Description:
I’m not one to write reviews for places like Starbucks but I go here so much to study that it almost seems required. Every time I have been here, it’s been a pleasant visit. The baristas are very friendly and seem to enjoy their jobs. I usually only order a small caramel iced coffee with half and half but it is always made the way I like it.
Food & Service:
I’ve definitely been to nicer looking Starbucks before but this one does the job. I can usually find a place to study whether it be outside, at a small table, or the big table, although during the Fall and Spring it can get quite crowded and annoying when you can’t find a place to study.
Final Thoughts:
Overall, I don’t see a reason why I won’t keep coming here to get work done. My only complaint would be their hours go until midnight now instead of 1am and there aren’t enough tables, but I don’t think that’s under their direct control.

If you are coming for coffee, great! If you are coming for pastries you will enjoy an extra dose of protein due to the flies flying around the the pastry bar.

So… I am waiting in line (inside) and eyeing an awesome looking chocolate croissant when a barista opens the glass display to grab something and at least ten flies begin to fly around inside the display. I didn’t see all the flies until she went to grab something out of the case… they were just hanging out in all if the food and pastries. This makes me super sad, I don’t usually get food just drinks but I don’t know how there could be that many flies in the case. The girl knew about the flies because she was waving her hand around. My drinks are always really good and the people are always friendly but I had to just leave after seeing that… so gross.
I’m hoping it was just an off day?! That Starbucks is always packed so people either haven’t noticed it or aren’t bothered by it. I only saw it because I was standing right in front of the case drooling when all the flies were disturbed.

Friendly staff, gets my coffee right or politely replaces it :)
I love the butter croissant at starbucks. My other experiences with food at starbucks haven’t been so great (not a fan of the chicken panini)
My recent favorite coffee is the café mocha (which is basically, adult hot chocolate: D) with shots of caramel!

This is a pleasantly decorated Starbucks with challenging parking due to the popularity of the location. It also has a drive through but the line, and I kid you not, was more than ten cars long when I visited. I luckily found a place to park and obtained my mandatory double espresso in a few short minutes.
