Starbucks

I dont normally write bad reviews, but this is the worst Starbucks ive ever been too. Unfortunately, ive been coming here the past 3 weeks, but will be utilizing other nearby coffee shops or the other starbucks on park.
They have roughly 8 people working and they are Sooooo slooowwww!!! We waited 15 min for oatmeal one time and then they forgot items.
The self serve stations almost always has empty milk pourers, out of the hot beverage holsters .you betcha.
You just order a coffee? expect to wait as well, even for black.
This location really needs more efficiency in assembly!

Some may think what makes a Starbucks different than the other million stores but there are really some reasons and I’m not even talking about some special interior design cuz this one is more or the less has same design with many others but has more space inside so you do not feel as if on line for free food or see.
I should say, the registers work really fast. Waiting on line is more annoying than waiting for your order. It never took me more than a minute to order and than 3 minutes to pick my order and leave. Once the half&half was over and when i asked more, the guy brought the new ones right away.
I usually get the multi-​grain bagel, toasted with cream cheese and regular coffee so have not much to complain about but i have tried the marble cake last week, they were better before without chocolate coating on top but it has nothing to do with this specific store. Long story short, one of my fav locations.

Roomy Starbucks which is fast becoming rare since they’re down sizing a lot of locations. It gets extremely busy during the early morning and evening rush. Great spot to bring your laptop or favorite book to read but it fills up with college students in the evening. Top of the line customer service, the staff are extremely organized and handle the influx of customers during the the rush hours perfectly. Two moderately kept restrooms are available. Kudos to the great staff at this Starbucks location.

Great Starbucks, off the tourist grid, more of neighborhood and cube monkeys’ vibe. Nice large roomy space so you’re not fighting for a seat.

This place is real shit show. One positive is the space is huge. Unfortunately, the cashiers and Baristas are for the most part indifferent or just plain rude. Wait times are unacceptable as well. I waited 5 minutes for an Iced Coffee and there was one person in front of me. Not one of the better Starbucks, which is surprising considering the location.

Today is August 5^th. This place has been blasting Christmas music for about an hour now. Two stars because this is infuriating.

As Starbuckses go, this is a pretty good one. The staff is friendly and knows me and my «usual» order. Never had a serious problem with them. But here are my grievances nonetheless:
1) the way the place is laid out, it’s hard for the staff to see certain corners of the store. This leads bums to occasionally hang out in such corners. They’re like the «guards» from Legends of the Hidden Temple. You’re going around the corner thinking everything’s good, then BOOM all the seats are taken up by a guy with a bunch of garbage bags muttering to himself.
2) The manager insists on making employees follow what I assume is in the corporate manual when they announce your drink is ready, and makes them act really excited about it and like they had an awesome time making it. Like «Carolllllllllll I have your unsweetened iced coffeeeeeeeeee!» Don’t give me artificial emotions when all you really want to do is take my money and move on to the next guy. This isn’t a strip club and even if it was, I’m not stupid enough to think that «that one really liked me, no, seriously, I could tell.»
3) They need to work on their unwarmed pastry delivery procedure. I would say that 1 in 5 times I order an unwarmed cookie, they forget about it and I have to ask. Or they mistake the cashier writing «CHCC» for chocolate croissant instead of a cookie and I have to correct them. Or they just grab a bunch of orders all at once and bring it to the warmer thing and I have to cut them off before they make it all gross and melty which is why I don’t get it warmed.
4) they have one of those tables with a bunch of wooden chairs. Those things are ready to fall apart. The screws are loose and you can feel the parts of the chair sliding away from each other. Makes you scared to move, which leads you to stay in uncomfortable positions. Not to mention that eventually some old lady is going to break the chair, and her hips, and sue the fuck out of them and call everybody in the damn store as a witness.
Carolllllllllll, I have your subpoenaaaaaa…

Awful. The wait time is like five minutes, even with no foot traffic. Plus, the cashier is rude (yes, I know where to get my drink; I was waiting for the receipt that you never gave me). I came here (a little groggy) to try the Pumpkin Spice Frappaccino. Instead, I got some iced coffee concoction with ice cubes. THIS IS NOT A FRAPPACCHINO. But, I was groggy and thirsty and I drank it anyway. Even though I was fuming inside. But damn, it was still tasty.

LOVE this starbucks. Maybe I’m biased because it’s my «local» right on my way to and from work. But the staff are always so friendly and the seats are great. Only drawback is it’s always freeeeezing in there but then again I never really stop and sit so it only bothers me for a couple of minutes!

There will always be a line here, though if you go during off hours it might be just a couple of people instead of a dozen. But there’s a decent amount of seating and the serve has always been friendly and fast. Otherwise not too different from any other Starbucks.

Crazy busy but efficient with taking the orders. The wait time sucked but that was expected with the size of the line.

It’s a standard Starbucks with a few distinguishing factors.
The servers are friendly but extremely forgetful. I ordered a pastry and in the process of preparing the pastry to be heat up they didn’t even ask me for my drink order and rang me up. That’s fine except after placing my drink order and paying they forgot about my pastry.

This place is awesome I get my coffee fix the staff is efficient & friendly and they open super early every morning, it always looks clean, people remember you have to speak clearly if you want to get your order right the other day the guy in front of me mumble he’s order than got upset when he’s whatever he had was wrong, he’s gonna get a «special» latte one day, don’t mess with the people making your drink or food

Service has been fine here, and it’s larger than you’d expect it to be (from the street it looks pretty small, assuming you can see it through the scaffolding that’s been up around the building for a while).
Lots of outlets to charge, and plenty of seating.

I like this Starbucks for it’s large size. More seating than an average NYC Starbucks.
Service is typically good.

I’ve pondered what it would be like to review every Starbucks in Manhattan… you know, a quest of sorts… but I’d probably be shaking too much too type, so for now I’ll just review this lovely store near my new office.
I enjoy the fact that the staff is so friendly, I like that they have «for here» cups so I can sip an espresso at the bar, and I like that they sometimes get my drink right… but I also dislike that they *sometimes* get my drink right… I don’t order anything complicated, so it should be right 99% of the time, and it should also be called out correctly… Calling my grande Americano as a venti Hazelnut Caramel Americano… well, that’s just all kinds of wrong. Steaming/​foaming my cream when I ordered «cold heavy cream»… is annoying. Not being able to understand that, because you steamed my cream, my drink is BURNING hot and I would like an ice cube (because I don’t have the 10+ minutes it would take for you to remake my drink AND I don’t trust you to get it right since you can’t even understand what was wrong about it)… well. I wish this kind of thing were atypical, but it doesn’t seem to be at this location.
On a good note, there’s lots of nice seating, when my drink is RIGHT it’s a cup o’ heaven, and, well, this is probably the closest starbucks to my office.

A pretty bad Starbucks — there are much better ones close by.
The staff is friendly, but very very slow — its pointless. Espresso has never tasted right here.
I guess for the pre-​teen drinks that most people come to Starbucks for its alright.
Hardly any seating and feeling that the place is dirty.

Huge space, with plenty of tables, seating, and power outlets!
The deuce bathrooms are great in case someone is droppin a deuce — you got a backup.
Sometimes the wait is a bit long, but the line moves efficiently.
I noticed plenty of NYU Med students studying here — it’s a great place to get some work done.

After three additional years of going here (almost) daily, I felt like I should update my review. As before, the employees are still competent, and friendly I would say 75% of the time — pretty good for the service industry.
I would love to give them a fourth star, but after three years, even though they know the 2 or 3 drinks I rotate between, they think my name is Steven.
…I stopped correcting them a few months ago, so now I kind of have a Starbucks alter-​ego.

I went to Starbucks on free pastry day. I figured since I was getting a free pastry, I would order a fancy drink instead of my traditional iced coffee. I know it’s free pastry day, but the staff was not the least bit interested in getting the drink orders correct; they were too busy asking customers which pastry they wanted.
The cashier that helped me called out my order wrong twice, she never once smiled nor did she make eye-​contact. While at the bar, I witnessed literally FIVE drinks made incorrectly and thrown away. It doesn’t surprise me that when my drink was delivered it was incorrect.
Having to wait even longer, I finally received my drink. Unfortunately, I did not taste it until after I was already on the subway on my way to work. It was by far the worst made drink I’ve ever had. I’ve never in my life thrown an entire drink away, but in the garbage it went. The biggest waste of almost $ 5.
There were more than enough employees working at this location — they were just entirely disinterested in listening, pleasing the customer or making drinks to order. I wasn’t the only one waiting to have my drink remade because the first time around it was incorrect and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one to chunk it in the garbage.
