Starbucks

This review isn’t so much about the service or even the quality of beverage or food at this location. I’ve experienced overall good service here. They did once completely forget about my mobile order… but it happens. I’ll still go back.
The drawbacks of this location for me are simple: small, tight space, and no bathroom within the store. I always find it weird and inconvenient when a coffee/​food place doesn’t have a bathroom.
I suppose the thought process here is that one could simply go to the much larger Starbucks up the street if they’re looking to do work… but something about a Starbucks that’s not inviting in that, «hey, make this your office for the day and spend lots of money here» way doesn’t feel right to me.
In conclusion — yes, if you just want coffee or food… no, if you’re seeking the real Starbucks atmosphere for work, meetings, reading, etc.

Yep. It’s a Starbucks. This particular one has about five inside seats and about 14 outside. Inside is the usual frigid. Not a great meeting spot, better for a cup to go and a stroll around Ward. Otherwise, all fine.

I love Starbucks and I usually order a grande flat white since they put it on the menu (thank you!). Price is not listed for grande but I pay the same as for a tall. When I came to this location I was asked if I wanted to try the holiday flat white (saw the poster and wanted to try). I was charged $ 5.50. When I looked at the board the only price listed was $ 4.45. I asked the girl why I was charged a dollar more than the price on the board and she just said «sorry.» Really! No explanation or offer to change my drink or the price! Very deceiving. I told her that was a very underhanded and dishonest thing to do. I work in the service industry and guests really don’t appreciate being mislead and gouged. Won’t be visiting this Starbucks again.

Ingredients
chicken salad (seasoned white chicken meat [white chicken meat, water, contains 2% or less of: salt, olive oil, spice, lemon juice concentrate], mayonnaise [soybean oil, water, whole eggs and egg yolks, vinegar, salt, sugar, lemon juice, calcium disodium edta (used to protect quality), natural flavors], cooked bacon [bacon cured with: water, salt, sugar, sodium phosphate, sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrite], roasted tomatoes [tomatoes, canola oil, garlic, vinegar, salt, herbs], scallions, lemon juice, modified food starch, black pepper), harvest wheat bread (water, enriched flour [wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid], cracked wheat, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, fully refined soybean oil, yeast, dried wheat sourdough, wheat flour, natural flavor, contains 2% or less of: canola oil, enzymes, salt, wheat gluten, malted wheat flour, ascorbic acid), lettuce.
It wasn’t enough to merely put delicious chunks of grilled chicken on this familiar sandwich and call it our own. Oh no no no. We went further, looking at every ingredient for the best possible combination of flavors we could create. With this wholesome, delicious combination of grilled chicken, smoked Applewood bacon, roasted tomato, scallion lemon pepper mayo and lettuce, we think we’ve created something truly special.

This is a very tiny Starbucks, so there’s not very much inside seating area, especially when compared to the other ward Starbucks. It’s unfortunate because all I want is to sit in the nice AC of a Starbucks for hours and hours… This summer heat is almost unbearable.
There is a good flow of customers at this location and there are always plenty of baristas and cashiers, so even if there is a line, it moves quickly. The baristas here are also very pleasant. Not all Starbucks barista are friendly, unfortunately.
I like coming here to get venti iced teas to sneak into the theaters (I have a big, flat bottomed purse specifically for this purpose). Usually I’d feel bad sneaking food or drink into another establishment, but when I buy a $ 13 movie ticket and $ 7 bag of popcorn, I refuse to force myself to drink soda or buy a $ 4 bottle of water.

In the first place, i don’t really go to Starbucks. But when i do & if i’m in the area, i come here. I always find parking in the lot where the old Nordstrom Rack use to be & this location is not that busy (at least when o go).
I never had a bad experience so far. I guess i was just disappointed that they seem to not really know about the new flavor frappuccinos that recently came out. There was no advertisement about it which led me to believe they didn’t offer it at this location. I had to ask & the guy at the cashier was like, «ughh yah i think we have it.»
So, i ordered the lemon bar frappuccino with coconut milk & my daughter ordered the cupcake frappuccino. My daughter & i were looking forward to trying the new flavors out since we first heard of it. We were so disappointed! My lemon bar frapp had no flavor. It tasted like water w/​whip cream. My daughter’s cupcake frapp tasted like a sugar free vanilla bean. I don’t think the barista really knew how to make these drinks. We ordered minis & we ended up just throwing them away.
I wouldn’t say i won’t come back here, but next time i’ll just order the standard drinks.

Normally I wouldn’t review chain companies but this one deserved a review…
Starbucks — known for their tea and coffee, right? But this review is all about their ice! Oh how I love their ice: not cubed, not crushed… Melts gracefully in my mouth.
This location blessed me and my friends’ drinks with a ton of it. MY FAV! More than half my cup with filled with ice! I’m so glad I finally found a Starbucks that isn’t stingy with their ice. For the low price of $ 4, I got tons of ice and a splash of milk and matcha!
But seriously though, while I am completely aware of the fact that you can customize drinks with «light ice,» (and I usually do) I don’t think drinks should be half to ¾ filled with ice!!! Ridiculous. (Picture attached: the liquid contents of a «31 oz» TRENTA peach green tea lemonade with Thai walls transferred into a 17 – 18 oz bottle, ice removed. Imagine how much ice it took to diminish 31 by practically a third!)
Ignoring the ice, the drinks themselves are made decently and I appreciate that. I wish I had ordered the drinks myself so I could’ve seen which barista made our icy drinks.

The barista there used my reward on the cheapest item (grande iced green tea) valued at $ 2.75 instead of redeeming it for the snack pack for $ 5.95 or my turkey pesto for $ 4.95 like the other locations do. Wats up with that?!

I like Starbucks because no matter which one you go to my no water chai soy latte always tastes the same. My only disappointment… whenever I get a bagel I ask for it lightly toasted, no cream cheese. I usually don’t get a receipt to save the trees and it never fails they give me a knife and cream cheese. It wouldn’t be so bad if it were free but they charge me an extra 50 cents plus tax. I guess that’s Starbucks way of maintaining their empire. Extra wasted charges. Either that or no one listens to me when I ask for no cream cheese… so I tried it where I didn’t say anything. Yea they still gave me the cream cheese automatically and of course it came along with the automatic .50 cent charge too.

This location is at the opposite end of the Ward shopping complex (whatever they call themselves these days) from the much larger and much, much busier location along Ward Avenue. In the evenings, when that other location is packed, this one often has seats available. Granted most of the seating is outside with no electrical outlets so furiously working on a laptop for hours isn’t practical but for actually being able to sit while drinking coffee, tea, or whatever suits your mood at the time, it is perfect.

The best Starbucks in Hawaii, atleast the Oahu Island for sure. The biggest Starbucks store with the largest collection of products and highest amount of seating capacity I believe, both indoor and outdoor. Outdoor there are also sofas for lounging and chilling. Open for the longest hours, I think upto 1 am. Once I was until midnight and there was no request or rush to close down. Highly recommended, huge coffee shop.

Quaint and quiet little store with friendly service located at the base of the Ward Consolidated Theaters complex. This little shop is tiny and you won’t see the «usual» student crowd or folks planted at tables with their electronic devices. It’s actually quiet and restful in here even though there are only 4 or 5 tables indoors.
What else GOOD can I say about Starbucks that I and many others haven’t said before? I like this location for its proximity to the theaters so I can grab a quick bite or drink before or after watching a movie. Their baristas are friendly and efficient like all other locations. Perhaps because they’re not a full-​sized café works to their advantage as there is hardly a crowd that lingers yet they still offer the quality Starbucks experience that you come to expect from other locations.

i love getting coffee/​tea here!!! The cashier Lacey is the best cashier ever! she is super friendly and helpful and knows almost everyone who walks in the door (obviously regulars) and she is always happy and cheerful. My absolute favorite Starbucks to go to hands down!

You can see them make their new soda drink, FIZZIO. It was too sweet for me and not worth the price. If I’m gonna drink soda, I’ll stick with the regular brands like coke or pepsi products.
Very pleasant counter/​cashier worker. I like that they will give a free cup of water anytime you ask.

Everytime we come here the staff isn’t so friendly. I know once we just stood around waiting on the side an extra 5 – 10 min and they didn’t bother to call our name for our drinks and by the time we came around the corner to see if our drinks were done it was just sitting there melting :(. They weren’t busy with anyone… so not sure why they couldn’t let us know?

My tip: Really nice staff but there are some real strange peeps that I see hanging out whenever I stop in #justsaying
Located right on the corner of Ward (near the theater) next to Men’s Warehouse, I can always count on this Starbucks for a decently quick-​moving line and my drink made just the way I want it. There’s never really a good selection of desserts or food items, but if you are headed to Starbucks mainly for a beverage, then don’t worry about it.
As I stated in my tip, you can always count on a few strange peeps nearby, but they mind their own business, which is probably why they get to «hang out.» One guy is always unraveling cigarettes and collecting the tobacco (that’s my guess) and making the biggest mess on the same table every time I stop in. I guess if he’s buying a cup of coffee, he’s a patron (no matter what).
There’s tons of parking around if you are willing to make a short walk (because there is no parking right in front of this Starbucks). But a great alternative Starbucks when the bigger Ward location is bumpin’.

They are always smiling and greet you. i love the service at Starbucks as much as i love coffee. This starbuck is little smaller size inside but the outside has more table for you to sit and enjoy outdoor view.
Just like other starbucks this place does have full menu and it offers hot food and deserts too. i love to get green tea lemonade, passion fruit with strawberry w/​thai wall and 2 pumps of sweeten, and when i’m not craving something sweet i get a joy tea.
I like this location because it’s close to movie and i like to sit at the coffee shop while i wait for the movies. coffee place is perfect place to have a chat with friend or family.

Totally busy during the happy hour special frappé promotion but otherwise they were on it with the drinks.

My fave barista works at this ‘bucks. He is fabulous, wonderful and always friendly. He always remembers my order, and that makes my experience there all worth it. :)
It’s so important to have great customer service and this Starbucks always delivers.

How does this place do it. My previous visit started with spectacular service when I requested my Green Tea Frappucino but a bit thick like a shake and now six months later I ordered the exact same item that came out super think without any requests.
I’ve ventured into Starbucks from Tokyo, Okinawa, LA, Chicago, Boston, Florida and downtown HNL but never have I had it so good as this place. Anywhere else its partially watery and never like a thick shake. The girl making my Frap hit it spot on…
I will be back again!
