Starbucks

I work by this Starbucks location so I have been here many times. The staff is rude and the service is slow. One time the barista spilled my drink and tried to cover it up with whipped cream. I don’t come here anymore and usually walk a little further to a different Starbucks location.

I’m writing this review to combat some of the terrible reviews that I saw. I cannot give it five stars because it’s tiny – it’s one of the smallest Starbucks you’ll find so the selection of extras is not always stocked and there is very limited seating. But the point is to get coffee not to move in. And the staff here is always pleasant.
If you’re looking for your coffee to go, it’s as good as any.

Up until recently I worked in an office building near this Starbucks, so I’ve visited it too many times to count. This is not a Starbucks to relax and hang out in — it is small with limited seating availability. But as a grab and go, it is great. Even when there is a line, the baristas keep things moving and always have a friendly attitude. :)

Starbucks, Starbucks, Starbucks, so many to choose from where I worked, with the same coffees and menu. Some have sandwiches and other food items and some do not.
So the reason I like this Starbucks compared to the others nearby is that the staff is helpful and do the little extras that make a difference, They make me Toffee flavor lattes and Frappuccinos even if it’s not on the menu. They ask for my name so that there is no confusion when 3 people step up for the same latte. And they get your coffee to you fast.

Horrific service.
Female cashier who looks male gawked and was VISIBLY IRRITATED that my friend and I dared to order and interrupt her conversation with another female worker who eerily resembled a man/​tree.
Few seats that fill up quickly and when I was there, one crazy dude as well as several homeless looking people yapping loudly.
Would NOT willingly return.

I was in Starbucks on 47 and 48 st on 3^rd ave 757 3^rd ave I asked for a caramel Machiatto and a cake and a refill for my coffee she told me the only way you can get a refill that if you are in Starbucks store THAT IS NOT STARBUCKS REWARD POLICY I’ve been a customer Starbucks for over 10 years this lady her name is Rosalynn very rude and I showed the guy his name is Corey that’s us I was say the guys reply to me saying it’s not say anything to you very very rude.

Unfriendly and really bad service compared to other Starbucks in the city. I always go to Starbucks to do work but the baristas here were not pleasant here and I will not go back.

Wish I could leave negative stars. Have this place another try. Still the slowest and worst Starbucks around. Morning rush and 2 people working while 2 others do nothing

Best morning Latte!!! They get it right every time! Their service is pretty fast considering the line goes out the door in the morning! They have a minimal seating, WiFi, a bathroom, and a friendly staff.

Most Starbucks are similar, but they are not all alike. As a frequent coffee drinker, a few things can make one stand out over another. First and foremost are the people working there. At the Starbucks on 3^rd near 47^th, the people who work here are on top of the operation. Sometimes, there’s a lot of chatter and socializing behind the counter among employees, which leads to the need to repeat your order 3 or 4 times, orders being forgotten, getting orders wrong and slow service. Not so here. Each morning, I walk in, step up, and they are ready and paying attention. The coffee drinks are made quickly and they get it right each time.
Add to this that this particular location is fairly roomy (for NYC) and centrally located in East Midtown, and you have a coffee place worth stopping at each morning.

This spot is ok for a quick buy and leave. If you are looking for area to sit and relax, I would recommend to go to Astor Place off the 6 line.
Why 4 stars? Well customer service played the part. All staff are friendly and willing to go an extra mile, especially the managers. Hopefully, this will not change in the future.

Nice and friendly staff. Clean facility. But no outlets to charge your gadgets. Just yourself.

It’s a centrally located Starbucks, one that I can go to when I’m on the east side, also by my weekly meeting. It’s a small Sbux. But a Starbucks is a Starbucks is a Starbucks. There a million of them in this fair city — this is one of them.

Good Starbucks, but the couch chairs are a bit awkward. Service was nice and otherwise a typical starbucks

Every time I step into a Starbucks, I hate myself a little bit for settling with super mediocre drinks, but there’s just way too many of them in Manhattan… and the free wifi is nice. I stopped in to this Starbucks today and was pleasantly surprised that the workers were efficient and friendly. The place wasn’t super packed either, which is always a nice surprise during lunch hours on a weekday in midtown manhattan.

The second competent Starbucks I know in Manhattan. And that’s saying a lot.
The Basics, that most Starbucks can’t hit:
— They get the drinks right!
— They make the drinks well!
— They AREN’T INCOMPETENT! (i.e. they don’t mess up, they’re relatively speedy, etc)
The Extras, that give it that extra star or two:
— They remember your name, and greet you with it every day. It’s charming, and makes me feel like it was worth the extra detour before work.
— They smile and make an effort to connect with you even though it’s early and you’re still grumpy
— They TELL you if there’s going to be a delay — «we’ve only got one barista, so lattes will take longer today. If you don’t have time to wait, you shouldn’t order one, we’re sorry.» Much, much appreciated.

Honestly, why do people bother with this garbage? Burnt beans, nasty crap they try to pass off as coffee. Everything thats actually tasty is sugary as all hell and costs over $ 5 bucks. I cannot bother with this anymore even though it is the most convenient place for coffee in the afternoon by my job.
By the way, I don’t like being corrected when I order something. If i ask for a double shot of espresso, do not look at me quizically and say «doppio» as if you didn’t know what i meant when i said «double.» If the company is from seattle, why am i using italian words to order my coffee in New York?
