Starbucks

This is absolutely the worst Starbucks. Don’t go here! You will be frustrated by their extremely slow and rude service. Every time they have five employees and only one person working. It’s absolutely the most frustrating thing!!! Ugh never coming back.

It’s a Starbucks, so most of us know what food and drink items are served. It’s a coffee house on a busy street where people walk to/​from office/​underground; hence only little seating. Been here a few times during my NY trips, always enjoyed the cheerful and nice customer service.

This location is a disgrace. The staff is not trained properly, slow, and make mistakes constantly with no apologies (in fact I’ve seen them blame the customer many times). My drinks are inconsistent or just wrong at least 60% of the time — and I’m a once-​per-​day customer (sometimes twice) due to the proximity to my apartment.
I could go on and on about everything that is wrong with this store — especially compared to the many exemplary stores in Manhattan alone. I simply lack the energy to type out every problem I see on a regular basis because I don’t see much that is right.
If you have a choice, go to ANY other location.

The worst Starbucks I’ve ever been to. As soon as you walk in you can see how disorganized they are. It is extremely messy, the employees are in a mind of there own. Although, the bathroom was pretty clean. I just ordered a caramel frappuccino & honestly I had no idea what’s in my cup, it’s disgusting and it’s missing CARAMEL

Horrible, HORRIBLE service. This must be where Starbucks sends all the employees who mess up at other locations. All the good employees are shuffled out quickly. Staff cannot grasp the simplest drink orders and often times there are as many as 6 people milling around behind the bar, but it still takes forever to be rung up and have your drink made. Odds are the drink is made incorrectly anyway. Another reviewer mentioned the fact that drinks are never full. If I pay for a Venti, I want a Venti not a Grande in a Venti cup.
Staff also allows teenagers from the high school on 15^th street to camp out and eat pizza and burgers at the counter and tables.

Terrible service for mediocre overpriced coffee.
We ordered a double expresso at 9:30pm. It was correctly made but the night staff were rude.
Perhaps they were eager to leave: they kept looking at us, giving each customer attitude, rolling her eyes at my friend, shouting out times, even though they were closing at 10pm.
The bathroom was closed at 9pm but they served coffee until 9:40, with a lot of attitude.
I wish we went to the Dunkin donuts instead.

I usually don’t give bad reviews but this Starbucks needs to be more careful with the employees that the hire, very bad service. I’m coming almost every day to buy coffee from this place sometimes twice a day I spent $ 200 – 250 a month in this Starbucks and one day I was shitting inside for 15 minutes and one black lady with the classes she comes to me and she’s like you have to buy something or you have to live, really?? fuck you I’m not coming here again there is better coffee shops in the neighborhood

I guess it all depends who’s working when you come in. I saw all the negative reviews pertaining to customer service and my experience was totally different. The cashier was really nice as was the barista. I asked for a drink to be remade and they were super nice about it and put an extra shot in it for free. Also the place itself is small but that’s a good thing, not a bad thing. Big Starbucks are usually noisy and filled with people, unlike this one.

I work by that Starbucks and I always make purchase during my break time. Customs service is pretty bad. They don’t try to make customer welcome and they kicked me out after my cup was empty. It was very disappointing experience.

Horrible Starbucks! It has a weird strong odor of sweat and BO (body odor) It’s tiny, I’m not even sure if they a single table. The staff lacks any sort of customer service skills and lacks the need to give you a fast efficient experience like other locations do. I normally get the same thing at any starbucks but for some reason it just taste off at this location. Did I mention the staff was incredibly rude and lacked any sort of training? At least that’s the type of service they provide.

Probably one of the smallest Starbucks I’ve seen. Not really the place to sit and do work, or just to hang which is pretty much Starbuck’s unique selling point. Unfortunately you won’t have that feel here. It’s just a place to get coffee.

Not the best Starbucks I’ve been to. I wouldn’t come here to do work or anything, only if I were on the go and needed a quick coffee. The ambiance isn’t conducive to working because the store is small and narrow, so a person seated notices everyone walking past. The cookie my friend bought didn’t taste particularly fresh.

Minimal seating. Full menu and side items.
Don’t expect to sit here and do a term paper as there is only a few stools at the counter that wraps around the windows. I use this as a grab-​and-​go location.
Staff stays on top of things taking or orders while you’re in line so that by the time you pay your beverage is closer to being complete.
I alternate between this Starbucks and the Dunkin’ that is across the street (not avenue).

Now I know why people are addicted to Starbucks! I am now as well.
On sunday afternoons, I am usually on the mission to find a strong coffee (I get a medium red eye) so I can continue to do my weekend chores. By 5pm, I am sleepy again after getting coffee from the nearby D&D or other places (now closed, :-() Anyway, I decided to come here and give it a try. Oh man, I was still wired at 2am and I’m like, I need to sleep to go to work. So if I want that jolt, I know where to go.
The staff here are friendly. I like it.

Perfectly nice store. Ordered a new peach green tea lemonade. Quick service, drink was delicious. This place is pretty small, not a ton of seating, but there were at least 12 stools for guests to sit on. Also, the (free) Internet was super fast when I was there, faster than the other Starbucks I visited earlier today, which was uptown.
Also, you can always count on starbucks for their public restroom. I’m sure this one gets used a lot, but maybe less than the one in the big ‘Bucks in Astor Place?

I love how I get free anything at Starbucks after 12 visits.

It’s tiny and definitely not a place where you can spread out and get work done. It’s close by though and getting in and out is relatively quick so it’s my go-​to when I’m in a rush.

When was the last time you ever reviewed Starbucks? Never.
Why? Because it’s not worth it.
However, only because this is a new store just a block away from where I live, I give you mercy of my time for 1 star review.
Multiple reasons. but Here is what happened tonight for one thing;
there is this p*gmy barista with his hair colored, I saw him giving out coffees & munchies giving for free to certain people, those either with loud voices or some gothic style costume nuts (just so he can call himself special), including the person right before me who was screaming on her phone (yes while ordering).
Then when I, a everyday regular, asked for a pike refill, total legit, he showed me this attitude and see what happens? He took personal vendetta on my drink, and put new transaction instead of refill and charged me $ 2, which was supposed to be free for gold member (though I never get what the hec this meant). When I found out and protested, he acted like nothing happened,.didn’t even say sorry, and just put back the balance with a grim face.
Hey, you can have your preference with that thin girly voice and peanut-​size b*ll, but is it really okay for you to use Starbucks drinks like your own? Let’s say, Giving is a bliss but fake charge your customer just because you don’t like him. Really?
Truth is, I don’t like you either but I don’t spit on your face just because you’re ugly. There’s manner in this society for any sane person. Apparently not for you.
Wait a minute, your hair was pike, aha, maybe that’s why you hated me having pike refill, eh?! Oh, I’m sorry to hurt you.
Please… Grow up and get a real life.

Yes, I’m that person who is giving this place 1 star for the sole reason that it is a Starbucks and it is now in the East Village east of 2^nd avenue. Yes, I get that it was an inevitability, and I have long since gotten the hell out of there, but at the same time — boo you Starbucks for presenting yourself in one of the last remaining untapped sections of Manhattan in which to purchase coffee from small, artisan retailers.

And the battle of local coffee houses vs. global chains heats up with this newest Starbucks opening up on 13^th & 1^st Ave. Just 4 blocks south of the one at Stuyvesant Town, this location must be looking to get in on the morning traffic heading to the 14^th St train and buses.
There’s counter seating and a couple of tables and good space to handle a line. Having just opened, the staff was nice and the place was organized with the layout.
Coffee drinkers can really pick and choose where to buy their coffee on 1^st Ave from Abraco, The Bean, Tarallucci, to Starbucks and others.
