The Starbucks at the UAB Hill Student Center is a place that many students rely on, especially on busy mornings. This location is convenient for students and a trip to it is easy to fit into your schedule. I went in the morning, which is definitely peak hours for a coffee place, so the wait was a little long, but this was expected. This location is a very typical campus Starbucks. It is busy, a little loud, and the workers are energetic. I ordered a bacon, gouda, and egg sandwich and an iced brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso. The sandwich was heated perfectly and satisfying. The iced brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso was definitely the highlight of my order. It was smooth, not overly sweet, and gave me a much needed caffeine boost before class. Despite the wait, the staff here knows how to handle to rush well, and are very kind. The consistency of a chain like Starbucks makes it a reliable option because you know what you're getting each time. This Starbucks does its job providing stable options for busy students. read more

I love breakfast food so this really hit the spot. I went around 3pm when it kinda dies down so I didn't have to wait long for my food. I tried to order white hot chocolate and a bacon, egg, and cheese wrap but they were out of the hot chocolate. The staff were really nice and I got my food in maybe 15 min max. I actually did take-out even though they have a dine-in option. It was just really loud in the Starbucks and it's too cold for the patio seating. So, I walked down the hall and found a quite spot near the bookstore. I'd say they are pretty sustainable. They gave me my food in a paper bag so I just recycled when I was done. I noticed they have paper straws as well. I didn't see any Covid precautions and no one was wearing a mask. Overall great experience but 4 stars because they were out of what I actually wanted. read more

I went in about 15 Minutes before closing time. We were told it was our last call for coffee by the orientation staff. The Starbucks staff members were rude and short with me and had no coffee. They were shutting the glass door closure at 10 minutes before closing time. Not a way to impress parents that are here for their's students orientation. read more

My iced matcha late was awful it was dark green and sticky, no ice. I waited for it 25 minutes

worst institution in the state. 5 dollars for a regular coffee and make you wait 30 mins for their jaded insulting staff to still refuse to just pour a simple regular coffee. their policies are designed to steal from you so you leave after paying because you waited so long. never go here read more

I do not plan to visit this location any more because I went specifically to use a Starbucks promotion advertised on the Starbucks app. and was told "we don't do promotions." So my policy on that is "I do not patronize your location." read more

I stopped by this Starbucks after class and even though it was full the wait was not long and my latte was the perfect way to warm up on a cold day. I also ordered a ham and Swiss croissant which was good. They toasted it which made it all the better. I do feel this store is somewhat eco friendly in the options it offers as one can buy reusable cups and they utilize mainly paper goods. Though I don't know if I would go so far as to call Starbucks an eco friendly establishment. I would recommend this for a morning run or afternoon coffee. read more

Today I visited the hill center's Starbucks and I was very pleased with my visit! When I arrived due to the morning rush they had a huge line , however the employees handled it well moving along people as fast as they could, they had someone writing names, someone taking the actual order , and a few making drinks. The employees customer service was great even with it being 8 AM. After I ordered I had to wait about 5-10 minutes to get my drink but there was a high volume of customers so I thought this was a reasonable time to wait. Starbucks COVID restrictions have been lifted causing guests to not really stand 6 feet apart however I did notice 2 workers still decided to wear their mask ! I got a cinnamon coffee cake and an iced white chocolate mocha and both were delicious, I would stop by again! read more

I decided to go to Starbucks in the Hill Student Center. I ordered a caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino and a glazed donut. The line was long when I arrived, but it moved very quickly. I also did not wait longer than 3 minutes for my drink, but there were many items that this location didn't have in stock so my food options were limited. There currently isn't any social distancing at this location or COVID restrictions taking place. None of the staff had on a mask, but many did have on gloves and there were no signs about staying 6 feet apart in the line. However, the ambiance and culture was very nice, as they had music playing but the atmosphere felt calm in a way and organized. This location didn't have any specific trash cans for recycling, but the straws don't seem to be made from plastic. Overall my experience was nice and I would stop at this Starbucks on campus again! read more

Ahhh.. Starbucks. Why must you take all my money!?!? I love you more in the summer when the lines are shorter, but the staff does a good job of moving people through. Just don't expect to stop by and quickly grab your beverage! They're nice to faculty on Fridays too... purchase a beverage and get a free pastry! Win win for me! read more

The Starbucks located in the Hill Student Center on the second floor had good Frappuccino and Refreshers. This is my first time going to Starbucks since last year. The line was very long and crowded. The service was very friendly. I got a Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino and a Ham and Swiss on Baguette. The Frappuccino was good, it was sweet to my liking and the rich taste of the coffee was good. It didn't have too much milk, it had enough of everything to my liking. The Ham and Swiss on Baguette was good also. It was warm and cheesy and the ham was good, it just didn't have enough ham on the inside like I wanted it. But overall everything was great! read more

I've been to this location probably a dozen times, and I don't think they've made my drink properly once. They ARE pretty amenable to fixing it, though. It's just annoying to have to do the play-by-play-- If you have the Starbucks name, you should follow the Starbucks recipes. Also, this location seems to be bad about their card reader being down or not being able to accept gift cards. I hardly ever carry cash, and on multiple occasions (I think this has happened about 3 times) I've walked there and not been able to get coffee because they were cash only. I gave two stars because the location is super-convenient. read more

Came to Birmingham on a Sunday.. this was one of the closer coffee shops that was said to be open.. after our 10 minute walk at 7:45am... it was closed! Birmingham!! Open your coffee shops on Sunday!!!! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

I chose to visit the Hill student center's Starbucks. I got a Flat White coffee with honey almond milk and a butter croissant. Furthermore, I was able to place my order and wait 5 minutes for it to be prepared, despite the very lengthy wait. When it came to the food department, there were a number of goods that this store did not carry, so I had a limited number of alternatives. Unfortunately, there is no social distance and no COVID limitations in force at this site. No staff was wearing a mask, and no one in line was separated by 6 feet. In the near future, I plan to order from Grubhub so that I may pick up my food and avoid waiting in line, as there is no social distancing. In a sense, the environment was pleasant, particularly when they played music, and it radiated a positive mood. Overall, the coffee and croissant were delicious, and I plan to continue purchasing from this place more often. read more

I love this Starbucks! It's in the new UAB Student Center which has Panera Bread! The atmosphere is very nice and opens until 12 am. I'm only disappointed they have not set up the Starbucks Rewards system so that I can get more stars but I'm very eager for them to start it up. Generally, it's very quiet. This is especially true at night. But at the same time, you feel that it is a semi-casual coffee shop atmosphere. read more
