My daughter brought me to Starbucks to enjoy a Pumpkin Spice Latte. She ordered ahead and when we arrived we waited and waited. She had to ask if it was coming up and it seems they just passed over our order. They made it and it was iced not hot. So they made another and that was worse. We ordered a venti with only two pumps and no whip . Not only did it not have two pumps but it also had whipped cream. Certainly not the Starbucks I used to frequent. Atmosphere is now somber and they don't seem to want to be there. read more

Grazie mille, Dustin, for being an artist of a barista who created an epic dry doppio macchiato. Made my day and helping me heal. Bravissimo. read more

Epic Fail Starbucks Auburn and inside Shaws. Sunday morning 11am. Shaws location closed on long break and stand alone one in Auburn drive thru only! This is why I do not reload my card! You need to do better! read more

The coffee always tastes good and my experiences in the drive thru are always great as well. Unfortunately, my experiences inside the store do not compare to the drive thru. My two most recent times visiting this location involved me being waited on by the same person. The first time I was overcharged for my drink and the second time she didn't even address me when it was my time to order-- kind of strange. I ended up having to wait a decent amount of time for one of my three drinks as they had to make new refresher which is understandable, it just seemed the information could have been communicated better. I completely understand that this is a corporate chain and a busy location at that, all I am saying is if it's my turn to order, at least address me in some manner-- it makes the experience much more enjoyable. On the contrary, every single time I go through the drive through at this location I have fantastic service! Those in the drive-thru are friendly and personable and make it so I don't mind waiting in line for 20 minutes to get my coffee. read more

I got a Pink drink and the grilled cheese, it was absolutely amazing. The cheese was so gooey and delicious on the grilled cheese, the Pink drink was so tangy and sweet i absolutely loved it! The service was so fast, under 2 minutes, most Starbucks I have been to are so slow. The setting was pretty regular compared to most Starbucks, so that was normal. But I still love the setting of all of the Starbucks! read more

Great atmosphere year round. Incredibly high company standards upheld by management and staff. Not going to find a better stop along the route. Always a fresh cup brewed for you of the best beans around the globe. read more

After backpacking over weekend, stopped by here for coffee for the long drive. Cappuccino was good and service was good, however, 3 stars, because restroom was messy and no toilet paper. read more

It is a typical Starbucks experience for my guest and I but I will tell you thIs place was HOPPING ... it seemed like a college study hall with all the Bates college students with their laptops and study groups. Here is what I loved. The staff was still taking their time to deliver a great experience, going above and beyond even with unruly shoppers for the holidays. I know, working in the service industry for years, it is tough when you are that busy to deliver an exceptional experience. It can be overwhelming. My venti cappuccino with sugar free vanilla and non fat milk was divine. It was also staffed appropriately for the rush (between 4:30-5:30 but the bathrooms were a mess with toilet paper and papers all over the floor and in need of a good mop! read more

Giving this location 1 star, entirely because they are in no way equipped to handle the volume of customers they get. Not necessarily the staff's fault, but corporate kinda needs to open a new location nearby to take some of the pressure off. When the wait time is 3x what I get quoted on the mobile app est time, there's a very large problem. This location is perpetually out of stock on food items and the drive through is 12+ cars long each time I've been here. This is the only Starbucks for MILES around and it shows. They need a new location here. read more

I don't understand why I pay for extra caramel drizzle when they do not even provide it. It happens every single time. It is also ridiculous that they make you tip before the drink is made. If I would have seen my caramel frappe I would have not tipped at all. Tipping is for good service and that is not something that they provide. I will never go back to that Starbucks again. I will drive the extra mile and deal with a crowded parking lot at Shaws because they at least know how to listen there. read more

Definitely not my favorite. Stopped by after 0830 so it wasn't the morning rush. 5 people working yet only one taking customers at the counter. That always seems so ridiculous. Waited quite a while to place my order. My coffee didn't include my SF vanilla that I ordered and paid for. My blueberry oatmeal came without the blueberries. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because the place is comfortable and the young woman at the counter was very pleasant. read more

I never go out of my ways to write reviews but I had to for the lewiston Starbucks!!! their customer service was so so pleasant. my nephew spilt his drink and they immediately offered him a new one. it meant a lot!!!! read more

I don't understand the negative reviews. We got great, prompt, friendly service both inside and out. The current staff is excellent. Ben (I think the manager?) is particularly personable and helpful. Coffee was perfect and piping hot, classic starbucks. We will be coming a lot read more

Do not go inside if you are in a hurry!!! This location focuses on drive thru orders. Inside orders take 20-30 minutes. The workers are rude when you ask about your order. Today I did a little test. I did a mobile order. Drove 10 min to Starbucks and waited in the long drive thru line and ordered, got my drink and then went inside to see if my mobile order was ready. I sat there another 20 minutes waiting. read more

Yesterday coffee was great as I expected. Today was cold and horrible. Workers seemed no caring much what they are doing ! That's that for me at this shop even though I have enjoyed Starbucks for many years ! read more

Probably the worst Starbucks in America. Staff is SLOW, usually gets the orders wrong, and it's randomly closed. Go to the local one in Shaw's. Way better. read more

Such a nice Starbucks in a sort of out of the way place. They clearly built in a shopping center that collapsed around them, now a pretty much deserted strip mall with weeds coming up through the asphalt. But the staff was awesome, the decaf espresso excellent, the store clearly thriving with lots of regulars and lots of comfortable seating. We were visiting the area and went here every morning. We saw the same regulars camped out with drinks and laptops for the wi-fi each day. I plan to visit there again sometime. read more

kind of slow but only slow when busy, workers are always very friendly, drinks are amazing!

This is the second bad experience I've had at this branch in a week. I was a few feet away from ordering at the com in my vehicle, but the employee insisted she could hear me for my order. When I got to the window my order was incorrect (wrong size and I requested no whip), probably because she could not hear me previously, sigh. She wiped the whipped cream off the top of my drink and gave it back to me with my drink dripping all over the cup. I had to use my mask to clean off the cup. Why not just make my drink correctly with the size I ordered, minus the whip as I had originally requested, instead of giving me a now wet, dripping, and sticky cup? :( read more

Very Disappointing. After waiting nearly 20 minutes in their painfully slow drive thru for a tall black coffee, when it's finally your turn to pick up your drink that you're paying with exact cash...the teller completely ignores you for another 3 minutes with the window closed and won't even make eye contact as they just stand there??? I've worked in the service industry for over twenty years, (and I currently still serve and bartend) I know the gig and this is just plainly poor training and/or poor service. read more

Amazing! My order is always right and they are fast considering how busy they are at all times! There is always a line in driveway and the inside is usually packed as well; but worth the drive from Jay! read more

Typical Starbucks coffee. Overpriced but decent. Guy working the store tonight was friendly and busting his butt. He had a younger girl working with him that looked at us but never said a word and never offered to help him. The poor guy was covering the drive thru as well as the customers in the store. Guy needs a raise, girl needs the unemployment line. The store itself was disheveled and borderline dirty. Probably because the guy was working alone. Kids these days...... They took most of the furniture out and now it's just a bunch of cold, bland chairs and tables with one small corner with a couch and a few chairs. Kinda cold and univiting. Soooo disappointing. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Auburn, Maine

I completely agree with Steff D...this is the best Starbucks I've ever been in. Now, defining "best" is really in the eye of the beholder. So what I may value highly, you may not. And vice versa. However, if you value excellent customer service, attention to detail, friendly and outgoing demeanor of employees, and willingness to go above and beyond, then I'd say we're on the same page. I had a very similar experience to Steff D when I dropped in here for my maiden voyage with this particular locale this morning. I was going to go in the drive thru but the line was super long, so I decided to go inside instead (best decision I made all day). I was immediately welcomed by a pleasant barista with a smile upon walking up to the counter (her name escapes me, but I'll learn it tomorrow). I placed my usual order, venti salted cold foam cold brew, and she and I spent the next minute or two raving about how this is both of our favorite drinks there. She asked me if I wanted anything else and I said "no thank you, the coffee will do it!" to which she replied "sometimes I get crazy and start making my own fun spinoffs of this drink, when I like to jazz it up." I said "oh really? How so?" She says she sometimes likes to mix cinnamon powder IN WITH the salted cold foam. My mind was blown. I must have had my jaw dropped or something because she laughed and asked me if I'd like to change my mind and have her special order this morning. The only answer to that question is yes. I cashed out, exchanged some laughs, and then waited patiently for my drink. The build up was worth it, because that was the best variation on an already wonderful thing! I thanked her on the way out and told her I'd be back tomorrow for round 2, and I will! A++ all around, will definitely return often. read more

At this Starbucks I met a clients mother to discuss his special care needs over coffee. We were served quite quickly considering the long line extending to just inside the door upon arrival. I was impressed by their % system, you can ask them to mix it 20% or even 40% if you like your coffee cooler then scalding, like me. They have a lounge area around a fireplace where patrons can sit comfortably while enjoying their coffee and surf the web via their free Wi-Fi if they so choose. We were sitting in the back of the store close to the corner. It was private enough to have our confidential conversation but not too secluded. If you are single like myself, you may agree that this would be an excellent spot to meet up at for the first time. The fireplace would keep you company if your date was a total bore or it could be the perfect compliment to a comfy, casual "ice breaker" date. The whole place was very clean and inviting. The clerk was friendly and served us with a smile. There were children patrons as well. They were well behaved and quiet during this visit. They seemed to like the atmosphere as well, especially the fire place... :) All in all a good place to meet over light business, casual date, or just hang with yourself and chill for a while after a long work week, or perhaps a lil get away after a stressful week of caring for the kids. read more

See all

What can I say... it's Starbucks. I love it. My experience is that it is consistently good. Every venti non-fat latte is like a mini-vacation. For those from away who speculate about the location... This particular Starbucks is located in a renovated bank building (hence the great drive-through and plenty of interior space), and was sited there when the mall area was just being built up after a period of stagnation. Unfortunately for Starbucks, there's been no further development of retail or other businesses in the immediate vicinity, and they remain sort of an island in a sea of parking lot. However, the location - perched on a small hill - offers great visibility, and people driving in from several directions can find it easily. read more

If you spotted a guy travelling through Lewiston/Auburn with a smile on his face, it was probably me enjoying a Chai Latte from Starbucks. Whomever paired up cardamom, cloves, ginger, black pepper and cinnamon with tea and cream is a genius. Starbucks version is simply delicious. Avoid the urge to drink it fast and enjoy each sip for a while before you take your next sip. Because the next thing you know, your cup is empty. And that is a sad thing. Here is a tip I learned from my son, ask for no water. It's creamier. read more

I LOVE Starbucks however since they had their store update they are soooo slow! I go in or even through the drive though and I end up waiting awhile. It used to be 5 minutes tops. I go into other stores and they are so quick! I have been inside and actually had to wait 30 minutes on several occasions. Sitting in drive through its 15 minutes easily. What's going on Auburn???? read more

Starbucks - Double choc chip yumminess!!! 3 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Auburn, Maine

I am a tea fanatic, therefore stopping in to Starbucks every so often to treat myself is key. Recently I have been getting their Shaken Sweet Tea Lemonade. It is delicious, and I wish I could afford to get that and a little pastry every time. But there is the downfall, you are paying a bit more for their deliciousness. Overall, worth it. read more

This is probably the first and last review I've ever written, but what must be done must be done ): My fiancé and I were in store on the mobile app after finishing a business meeting for my wedding. We waited for 20 minutes at the pick up counter watching people come in and get served before us with no bother. Places like this get busy right? No big deal we were excited just moving forward with our wedding plans. We decide to ask if the order we placed went through or not as it showed us our order just got completed yet we had no one call us and there were no drinks ready to serve. As we were talking to the cashier a woman comes over and asks, " did you place it 20 minutes ago?" As we did I answered yes and she told us "we have a thirty minute policy if you don't gather your drinks within thirty minutes we throw them away and remake them" this is an amazing system for keeping quality over quantity when serving in the food business but the woman stated it herself, "did you place it about TWENTY minutes ago?" "...we have a THIRTY minute policy.." something doesn't add up? We were happy to wait but then she blamed the customer and truly made us feel as though we had caused them to waste coffee. Needless to say, I hope that woman has a better day and can put smiles on others face rather than putting them down such as she did we won't be returning here! read more

It always takes to long to get drinks and then when you do get them they are always melted and watery.

This starbucks is on par with the rest of them. I typically get an Iced green tea when it is warm out. If it is a cooler day I will get either a hot green tea, or a brewed coffee. Having the gold card is good because it then cuts my per cup cost down to about a dollar. The staff is always friendly and I have not noticed any cleanliness issues. Will be going back many times. read more

This is one of the best Starbucks of ever been to. The service is outstanding. Even the drive-through is quick and concise and polite. They call you sir or ma'am and do it all with a smile. Quick fix any mistake even if it is my fault which it is usually. Place is clean almost spotless. I just wish they put the trashcan back outside at the drive-through so I can throw my old coffee cups away read more

Starbucks - The front door - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Auburn, Maine

What is there to say about Starbucks that hasn't already been said?! I do love their Vanilla Bean Frappuccino, though! They are always busy, but they keep us moving like a smooth production line! The only thing "bad" about this place is the awkward waiting for your coffee fix. Most of us are in it together and have a quick chat or a smile, but why is there always that one angry person? Just why?! Either way, always a good experience here. read more

I have never seen a crew of such wonderful, friendly, warm people in my life! Watched an absolute cow of a woman make the hugest stink about not wanting to be served by the poor barista, insisted on someone else serving her, held up the line for a good ten minutes while he pulled someone else from their job to wait on her, and he was so professional about it! Respectful and polite to this woman as she was being absolutely hateful to him, props to the crew, you put up with so much and you do it wonderfully! I am a forever loyal customer! (And a nice one) read more

They need to shut down mobile ordering. You order mobile only to have to wait in line anyway even though the drinks are already made sitting there (was told they don't make them until you check in even though I was staring at a line of drinks made, mine included.) I didn't have time to wait in the line that was wrapped around the inside dining so I left. I called for a refund but was told I would need to go back in and wait in line. Extremely disappointed with this Starbucks. read more

Consistently great coffee! Friendly staff. A stop at Starbucks is a great way to start the day!

I love Starbucks. While the drinks here are wonderful, the service is awful. I used to go here years ago under different management and loved it! But recently I've gotten numerous drinks made incorrectly, rude customer service and the slowest possible drive thru! I was second in line this morning and waited 10 minutes before throwing my hands in the air and driving off without my coffee. If it was an isolated incident, I wouldn't mind. This has been consistent and I will be going elsewhere from now on. read more

They make there own drinks first and also there friends come to socialize who don't work there. If you want to socialize do it after work.

Sometimes they get backed up inside when there are a lot of customers. Wish they would work both cashes they have upfront when there is more than 5 customers in line. I would rather wait and know my order is taken than wait for my order to be take on top of waiting for it to be made. read more
