    This is a great Starbucks location in Uptown. It's on Levine Avenue of the Arts, between Church and Tryon. Every time I've ordered or come in, it's been a great experience - down to the perfect execution of getting my matcha latte not too hot, but just right! LOL! Of course, there are many options for food and drink, as with any other Starbucks. The staff is always great and welcoming, every time I've been. They greet you and are courteous and conscious of what they're doing, even while moving quickly. Inside is plenty of seating - regular tables, high tables, etc. it's a busy location but a good one. Stop by and enjoy!

    If you live in uptown, this Starbucks is convenient for you. There's not a lot of seating inside, and it can get pretty crowded inside. They do have patio seating outside, which is always a good thing. There is no great parking with the exception of street parking, so it would be better to just walk.

    One of the only coffee shops Uptown that is currently open after 3pm (thanks Covid!) This shop is packed inside but, usually goes through orders super quick. It's located on Levine Avenue - pass the Firebird, Fin & Fino and Reids and you're right there! Definitely download the app and order online if you're in a rush and then pick it up at the pick-up counter. I went today without pre-ordering though and got my grande latte within 2 minutes.

    Love this Starbucks and the Starbucks app which makes it so easy and convenient to grab and go. I've been coming here more lately bc they have healthy options and it's within walking distance for me. If you don't know,they have a tea called the Medicine Ball. If you're feeling out of it, this tea is for you. Honestly when I'm feeling fine, I still find myself ordering. While this location is always packed they are fluid and have a method to the madness. Several times I have ordered online and walked down and my order was ready despite how busy they were. Definitely a go-to!

    The bug from my Starbucks coffee.

    Zero respect for decaf drinkers. Decaf coffee is always cold. $2.50 for a cup of lukewarm coffee?! Then they did something to make the decaf experience better. For a short while this location had those machines that allowed them to brew a fresh cup for every customer. Then, for some reason they got rid of them. Back to stale, almost cold coffee. This morning I went in for a cup and when I noticed the change back to pots I asked the barista if it was fresh. He said, yes we're brewing it right now. Then he took my money, poured my cup out of the thermos on the counter while the machine brewed into a different pot. I got lukewarm coffee again. Then, I'm back at my desk trying not to be too much of a coffee snob and drink my coffee anyway when something solid hit my mouth. At first I though it was coffee grounds. Nope! A fly. A small bug was in my cup of coffee! GROSS! I will not be returning to Starbucks. I'll get my decaf somewhere else

    This is the closest Starbucks to my job but it seems to be the smallest in downtown. If you plan to get to this location after 8 am, definitely 8:30 am you will be standing at the back door. There is also usually a 2pm rush as well. The customer service is great though, Franco is awesome and will always take care of you! Sarah and Liz are we some as well. They keep the line moving as fast as they can.

    Avoid this Starbucks between 8 and 10am. It's not worth the line just walk to rush espresso!

I have also tasted their iced white mocha latte and it was very sweet for a "regular"sweetened drink. Any time you place an order, you can customize your beverage sweetness. Their service is a little slow when they're busy but that's ok- it's worth the wait lol. There's tables to sit at while you wait.

    I want to start by saying that I typically enjoy drinks from Haraz. I was excited about the new…read morelocation opening and decided to stop by this morning for a Strawberry Cloud Matcha. I had recently tried this drink at another Haraz location and loved it so much that I officially considered myself a matcha drinker. When I received my drink, I noticed it looked much pinker than it had at the other locations I'd visited. I assumed it had just been mixed and that the usual layers of matcha, strawberry, and whipped cloud had blended together, so I didn't think much of it. However, after taking my first sip in the car, it immediately tasted like strawberry milk. Since I was on my way to work, I kept drinking it, expecting the matcha flavor to come through, but it never did. It was disappointing because the drink was nothing like the one I've had several times at other Haraz locations. I hope this location places an emphasis on training and consistency so the drinks meet the same standard as the rest of the Haraz locations. On a positive note, the staff members were kind, welcoming, and greeted me as soon as I walked in.

I read through some of the other reviews and I want to set the record straight. Yes, it's inside a church but there is a separate entrance. Yes, there are Christian books but also other genres. Yes, the coffee is very affordable BECAUSE all the staff are volunteers. No one is getting paid and they LOVE what they do. All smiles and great service. The proceeds go to local and global missions of the church. Win, win all the way around. The place itself is very spacious. Two levels. The seating areas are comfortable and far enough apart you can have some semiprivacy if you need it. My friend who brought me says she comes here all the time to study (she's in college). All of the staff knew her by name. (love places like that) I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't really speak to the coffee (although my friend says it's pretty good). I am a tea drinker though and they have a variety of flavors, some refresher juice drinks, a few pastries. Please support. Every now and again if you're thinking of getting coffee or a pastry, choose them. Why not? Do some good for the community through others who are committed to giving back.

Good amount of seating inside (mostly 2-seaters; one larger table reserved for bigger groups). Helpful and friendly staff who were amazing with my little one. You have to try a slice of the basque cheesecake. The plain slice (with no whipped cream or fruit topping) is not overly sweet and the perfect amount of "burnt" & creamy. We also tried the madeleines, which - as the café's name suggests - were on point. And the garlic bagel is a garlic + cream cheese lover's dream. The iced dalgona latte was such a treat. Sweet with a creamy foam and topped with crunchy cookies - very well balanced and delightful to drink. The prices reflect the care and high quality of the products. Come support this amazing local spot and enjoy their unique, thoughtful offerings!

They also sell Madeleine cookies, of course, though we didn't get any. The service was given with genuine smiles. The prices were normal - not a deal but not over-the-top. We enjoyed our breakfast and will happily come back!

Plus, the barista was patient with us and did a great job making our drinks. My sister and I are novices when it comes to coffee so we really didn't know what we want, but the barista listened to what we liked and made the perfect recommendation (decaf/1 shot caramel macchiato). We also met the owner and she was so personable! I'll definitely be back, just have to figure out where to park lol. One piece of real feedback -- it seemed like they only offered white bread for their breakfast/lunch items. I'm a sourdough baker and wish they'd add that to the menu!

There was a small sign for the summer latte options, but not an overall sign with the general menu - which is kind of odd. So I had to "create my own" drink. 2.5 for the ambiance, which was a bit weird too, and kind of all over the place. You can't really tell what vibe they're going for. Boxes piled up everywhere, a random balloon arch. A merch table ? The waiting line also goes right through the middle of the seating area. So I kept getting bumped into and having to move back to make way for walking people. Very clunky. 1.0 The last thing I'll note, which isn't an overall ding towards them, but it added to the experience...I was waiting behind 1 single girl, and when she was next - FIVE other people came up to join her. Ordering one by one. And then a group of 6 other people tried to join in, but then somehow ended up behind me. The line was already 10 people deep. I'm not sure how anyone let this happen....

It's a very happening spot for young and old, families and friends, people looking to work, and others just there to chill and relax. The line was out the door for the duration of my time there, but do not let that deter you. They have ample space to handle the crowd and it's well staffed with people constantly walking around helping and answering questions. Service is fast and everyone is so nice. They have a variety of seating arrangements which makes it great for large or small groups. This may sound like a lot is going on, and it is...but at the same time it's very relaxing and chill. You place your order at the counter and I'm telling you, they have a great variety to choose from. My party shared some chicken flatbread, a Caprese style appetizer(not its name), and sweet potato cheesecake. Whe all enjoyed some coffee made to order for our liking. We even ordered some pistachio and dubai chocolate desserts to go. Everything was superb! We sat and talked for hours and just soaked in the environment.

I've been for morning coffee when it's not as busy and late at night weekends during it's busiest times. Finding a parking space is challenging, especially on weekends. But once you step inside Vavela's you forget all about that because the vibe catches you instantly. The music, upbeat yet relaxing, transports you to another place and time. As soon as the doors open it's impressive! Seating is welcoming and abundant, be it at a table, on sofas or a grouping of comfortable chairs. When you walk up to the counter to order they have all of their drinks and deserts chilling and on display. And there are a lot of them! I don't know if they are made from scratch or premade, but I've had about 6 different kinds and each one was better than the next. All delicious! On my last visit we got our coffees, shared chicken flatbread, a tomatoe/cheese appetizer and sweet potato cheesecake and EVERYTHING was delicious!!!! They always have a lot of servers and they bring your order to your table. Because it stays busy I notice they have to constantly be on top of cleaning the tables and floors and often people will grab a seat before the staff has a chance to clean the area. But they overall do a good job staying on top of it. I highly recommend Vavela for a group meeting, or if alone, bring your laptop, your studies and get some work done while grabbing a bite to eat...and a Latte.
