Located at the Molly Pitcher Plaza Southbound Service Area, this location is on the left side when you enter, directly across from the restrooms. The wait in line was short and the service was good but the food was absolutely disgusting. Old, microwaved bacon gouda sandwich. They should be embarrassed but they know that roadtrippers aren't going to come back to lodge a complaint. They are here to grab food and get back on the road. A waste of $7. The venti caramel macchiato with extra caramel drizzle was good and flavorful because it was freshly and hand made. But yeah, stay away from the food! The ambiance is a bit frenetic and frenzied, with no real atmosphere and open seating with other restaurants. You don't come here to read or relax. You come here to elbow others to the bathroom and grab a coffee on the way out. read more

very bad customer service margaret was the cashier, extreme very impatient, while we were trying to look at the menu she ask over three times what i wanted even though i said, give me a second they're under no supervision right now at 8:19 in the morning when my food arrived, they just gave my husband the food pouch, i had to go behind him and ask can you put my food in a bag at a gas station rest stop.... think they can have an attitude like this because they're not gonna see nobody again.... think again i'm only across the bridge. read more

This was a quick stop in one of the Service Plaza from our long drive. The place was clean and ample seating area to dine in. We did take out and the food was as expected from this chain. read more

My husband and I were coming home from a visit to his parents. We needed gas and we were also really thirsty, and decided to stop at this Starbucks within the Molly Pitcher rest stop. The location is really convenient and relatively easy to get to. There was a small line, but it moved very quickly, and the employees were quick/efficient. We also saw an employee cleaning the floor and cleaning up around the trash, so it is good to see that those things are being taken care of/not getting overfilled. Our drinks were pretty good as well! read more

Ordered from my app and picked up. No interaction with the staff, but my drink was ready at the time the app said and it was made correctly (and I have an annoyingly complicated drink). read more

It's no mystery that Starbucks is by far my favorite stop for coffee and other selections that are spontaneously dictated by my cravings for great coffee. I have visited literally hundreds of Starbucks' location since they've come into existence and although they all seem to be pretty consistence with the quality of the products they offer; the service, quality of the product, wait-time, cleanliness and accessibility of the location are the five points I will rate all of them on going forward - so to make the point I've recently incorporated a rating system based on this short list to calculate the rating of the locations I visit. I feel all these criterions are controllable by the corporation, the franchise owner or store manager. Service - 2 Stars Quality - 3 Stars Wait Time - 1 Stars Cleanliness - 1 Stars Accessibility - 5 Stars Rating - 2.4 Stars I really feel for the employees here at this giant service plaza they were slammed read more

awful they messed up my drink and when i corrected them they told me "everyone makes mistakes" and to "get over it" the management was awful. read more

It is a decent Starbucks off the Jersey Turnpike. While on a mini-road trip I needed to refuel both my car and my body. This rest stop was the perfect spot for both. The Starbucks was super busy to the convenient location. It did take sometime to get my drink, but due to the amount of people waiting for coffee, I feel it was a reasonable amount of time. The one thing I don't understand, which could be the reason for the wait would be you order at one register and pay at another. So I told one barista my order at register 1, and then he told the barista at register 2 what I ordered, and then I paid at register 2. This is a waste of time and makes no sense. Both registers should be for ordering and paying. Anyway, I ordered my drink with light ice. When another barista called my name that my drink that was ready, she actually asked me if she put in enough ice, if I wanted more, or if she should dump some out. I tend to order my drinks with light ice all the time because I don't like my drinks watered down, and I've never been asked this question before. 2 thumbs up to her! Be prepared to wait a bit at this Starbucks for your caffeine fix while on the road! read more

I was passing through from New Jersey to DC and stopped by to get my fix of a green tea latte with soy and extra matcha...yes, I know it sounds a little obnoxious! I'm lactose intolerant and I'm from LA. There was a store front and a Starbucks mobile truck serving people, I thought that was cool. It must be a popular stop for folks. Although the line was long, the wait wasn't bad...they took my order and had half of it ready right way. Here comes the 1 star. A really unhappy dark haired older woman was making our drinks. I saw her holding a cup of what looked like MILK, she looked at the label and continued to get ingredients...I didn't see what she was making but I did see her look at the label 3 times. When they called my name, she handed the barista my drink and I said "is that milk"....she mumbled "oh yea" and dumped the drink and proceeded to make my drink again on that same cup. Clearly the label says SOY!! read more

The app scanner wasn't working when I came in so I lost the opportunity to get my bonus stars with my order since I didn't have my gold card. Super bummer! I like that this place has a #StarbucksTruck !! It's def much needed as the place gets super packed! But something needs improvement as things were just not going well. Hopefully they'll get better especially at high traffic times like today. read more

On my what through Pennsylvania and stopped by this Starbucks at a service area. I ordered an ice matcha latte which is what I usually get at any Starbucks. Oh boy, I thought all Starbucks would make their drinks the same but I was completely wrong. My order came to be half milk, half ice and a pinch of matcha powder. I could barely taste the matcha in this one. My service experience saved them from a 1 star read more

Starbucks - Ice matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cranbury, New Jersey

We stopped to get 2 toasted everything bagels with cream cheese, and a coffee. They were out of cream cheese so we had to get butter. They served them up and said "only one has butter right?" "Uh, no" so they gave us more butter packets. The bagels were warm but not really toasted. Spreading the ice cold butter packets onto the clearly untoasted bagels kind of ripped up the bagels. Everything there was a bit too expensive. Also (although no stars off for this) calling the small size "tall" is stupid. read more

What a clusterfuck! This place is in the turnpike.. peeps want to get in and out.. nobody is here for the cafe culture. They have a sign up front directing people to a coffee truck outside claiming the same items are available with a shorter line.. BS!!! Waited at the truck... then they tell me no dark roast! Go inside.. I go inside and the line is nuts.. they make my coffee and never bring it over... I keep asking for my thermos and they come back telling me wait! 40 minutes of a stop for coffee. You suck. read more

Rest Stop Starbucks Starbucks located at the Molly Pitcher Rest area on the NJ Turnpike. This place is a real gold mine- a non ending supply of customers who are mostly numb from driving, shuffling through for a caffeine fix, no matter the cost. The coffee is unnaturally hot- I left most of my palate outside on the patio after taking a sip of the boiling pitch-like coffee. Goddamn that stuff was hot- how the hell do they get it to that temperature? Had they never heard of the McDonald's coffee lawsuit? Amazing. In any case, there are some nice tables outside with a lovely view of the parking lot - but at least you can get some sun while picking the dead skin off the roof of your mouth. read more

One word. Jersey. I have been to Starbucks all over the world and have always had a consistent experience. Leave it to America's armpit to screw it up. Rude barista who barked at me "what?!" and filthy condiment areas (see my pics). Ugh. Couldn't get out of there fast enough. read more

Starbucks - Gross. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cranbury, New Jersey

They're lucky they got one star. I ordered a Strawberry Acai Refresher blended. It's not hard. You take the ingredients of a Strawberry Acai Refresher and you blend it. At first I thought the girl at the register didn't understand what I was asking for. She said, "We don't blend that." So I explained it. She then proceeded to give me her opinion on it. She said, "No, that will be disgusting." I took slight offense to that, so I said, "Can you just put it in a blender? It's just like a frappuchino or a slushi." She was very rude and acted like it was a hassle for her to do it. I shouldn't have wasted the time to argue and should've just walked out. They also messed up my sister's order and put whipped cream on it when it said no whip, but we weren't trying to be picky so we took it and left. Not trying to sound petty, but when you spend money somewhere, they should not insult you. read more

Albeit small, the service is good. There wasn'tt much of a crowd so my order of a double tall non fat cappuccino arrived without incident. The store is clean and well lit. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. N.B. This Starbucks is located outside of the main food court area in its own space. read more

I have never been soooooooo disappointed in a Starbucks before. Granted I'm no stranger to wrong orders, more sugar when I've asked for less etc. This has got to be first for me, I bought a Grande White Mocha. My fav. Needed my caffeine for a long drive. So as I'm driving down the highway letting my coffee cool off a little of course. Took a few sips. Tasted sweeter than I wanted. When I finally got a chance to pop open the lid, my suspicion was confirmed. The barista forgot the most essential part of any coffee, which was the COFFEEEE!!!!!! I got milk with white chocolate. I like hot chocolate, I do but today I wanted it with espresso. So, if you're driving and stop along the side of the highway make sure you walk away with caffeine in your cup. read more

ZERO stars. I stand in line for 5 minutes for coffee and when I go to the counter I ask the person behind the counter what is in the sweet cream. He looks at me and says "I don't know". I don't know?? "Hm, can you find out?" The lady besides him answers and says "it's a bunch of holiday spices." 110 calories and that's all it is?? I just ask for a regular coffee with vanilla syrup. I give my card and wait for my order which ends up with no vanilla syrup and is bitter and tastes as though it's been sitting for a while. Whatever I'm too annoyed to ask so lighten it with milk and realize I never got my credit card back. I go to the counter and ask for it back to get a dumbfounded response, "OOOOhh". Geez...Please find better people to work here or people that will at least learn what they are serving. read more

Rarely am I displeased with the service I receive at a Starbucks. This is the second time I have gotten poor service here. Order taker didn't listen and $5 coffee was wrong. Tough to do anything about that when you're back on the highway already. Do yourself a favor and get a coffee inside or at the truck. read more

So this Starbucks, as noted by other reviewers, is located at the Molly Pitcher rest area of NJ Turnpike South. Ironically enough, my Iced Americano tasted like a NJ Turnpike. Seriously... what the hell did they put in here? It was gross. My girlfriend's latte was gross as well. Neither of us finished our coffee which is a rare occurrence. Luckily, my muffin tasted good, but I wouldn't be surprised if I had gotten some old, dried up, crud-filled brick of nastiness. Avoid at all costs. read more

Worst Starbucks ever. Someone that look like the manager was very rude and got my drink order wrong and she didn't even care to fix it. I'm a gold member on Starbucks and this was literally the worst service ever. She doesn't know what she is doing and she doesn't know how to treat customers. read more

Usual product, Unusually blah staff. Its NJ Turnpike, no1 is happy to be there. The person who took my order rolled her eyes when I asked for soy milk. One barista even said to another that skim milk was non dairy too (WTF) Stop in to get your fix, but if you need non-dairy you may wanna watch them make it. read more

Odd. I've never been to a Starbucks that was so different from other Starbucks. First of all, the Starbucks is at the Molly Pitcher Rest area on the NJ Turnpike, but is in fact separate from the actual rest stop building. This took me a minute to figure out. You often enter a Starbucks expecting the certain corporate coffee vibe that the chain strives so hard to maintain. Here, however, that was clearly missing. Earth shook as the rotund manager of this Starbucks pounded the ground with his enormous feet. He was angry, that much was obvious. He subsequently yelled at an employee in front of everyone. Apparently the pastry shelves weren't filled properly. That was entertaining at least, but the chocolate chip iced scone I got was terrible. It tasted like it was five days old. I was shocked because Starbucks always has extremely fresh goods. I placed an order for a hot chocolate and thought for a while that they just forgot about it because it took them forever to make. The employees were busy mouthing off about the club one of them went to last night instead of doing anything. What're ya gonna do. It's not like you have a ton of options if your tired eyes need coffee on the long drive through the turnpike. There are other coffee options inside the rest stop building, but people love their Starbucks. Just avoid the old pastries and keep your head down. read more

Worst experience we have ever had. The manager and the girl who rung us up were so incredibly rude. They not only made our drink wrong, when we pointed out we wanted the drink iced, they screamed at us that we didn't ask for that (we did). Then when they told us we would have to wait for our new coffees because we had said the wrong thing we waited 20 minutes for them to once again give us the wrong drink. And one of them had spoiled milk. NEVER AGAIN. don't stop here. Just keep driving. read more

The worst Starbucks I have ever experienced, and dirty. Confused staff, wrong orders, chaotic, everything is soiled.

Busy place off the New Jersey turnpike .. Line was moving constantly .. I asked for my typical blonde roast.. Cashier asked if I minded to wait two minutes until it finished .. I said yes but quite honestly the expression on her face was priceless .. It may have come out that I was being rude or some kinda of TONE but quite honestly it wasn't .. I just didn't want to wait because the place was small ...Kudos to my cashier Yanique ( sorry if I misspelled) .. You are awesome .. read more

Be prepared to wait a very long time as it seems that the employees they don't care about the customers but rather chatting among themselves read more

Horrible! Horrible service, the baristas were slow and confused, and the supervisor was hanging out in the back talking to another employee while there was a line out the door and baristas that had questions... It may have been better the supervisor was in the back because after 20 minutes of waiting when they did come out they confused the baristas even more by shouting out orders. Definately bout the staff you want at a busy turnpike stop! read more

The employees they had were only two older ladies that were confused when i was ordering my drinks and then gave me my order wrong and when i asked to fix it she just gave me a cup of creamer. Then the lady asked me who alice was and i told her that was not my name. She then asked me again where is alice multiple times. I then told her i dont know im not alice!! Worst service. This starbucks needs to hire people that know what they are doing and how to do the drinks. read more

Starbucks on the NJTurnpike, small store on the side but great when you need a pick me up while on the road.

To start, when I ordered they told me they don't have the tea I wanted, when I could clearly see it and when my friend ordered the same thing, they gave it to her. I ordered a croissant and my friend ordered a glaze twist and she didn't want it warmed but I wanted mine warmed and they did the opposite. And then to add to my disappointment, they took 15 minutes to give me the croissant and the twist so thanks for the worst experience at a Starbucks ever. I also ordered peach tea instead and then they gave me the pineapple tea, which sucks. read more

Worst customer service. The lady in the counter was really rude! When My husband was paying, in the digital display he saw she charged him 8.5 usd for a tall caramel macchiato and feta egg spinach wrap but did not give him any receipt! When we were leaving she called him very rudely in front of other customer and asked him to pay for the wrap!! She continuously denied that she charged for the wrap already and made him to pay for it again! After that my husband checked the statement of his credit card and got to see that he was charged TWICE for the wrap! We went back and showed her that but she was very much reluctant though they paid back at last! It is the first time we faced this kind of behavior at a Starbucks! I FIRMLY believe that the Authority should take steps to train the employees of THIS Starbucks to handle customers most politely! Thank you. read more

Don't go here if it is crowded. Stopped here Memorial Day weekend. They were making drinks out of order. I finally got my drink 25 minutes after walking in and there is no expresso in my frappe. NONE. read more

Never seen a Starbucks run so poorly. Stood in line for 15 minutes while 2 workers stood there talking about their morning as the line piled up. read more

Busy busy busy. It's the NJ Turnpike and its Starbucks so it's typical. Although small this location is the best in my opinion because you're not competing with the crowd of the rest stop (I.e.: other restaurants, the restrooms, etc.) as THIS location is the only one that has a separate building. The service here could be much better. It definitely lacks in that area. The workers just push you to order and to move along and practically throw your drink on the counter when it's done. Stop in to get your fix when heading south just brace yourself for a wait and possibly a rude barista enco read more

Coffee wasn't that great but I needed caffeine .When I asked for refills they said they're not part of Starbucks they are a franchise!

I'm a Gold Member Card of Starbucks loyal for about 10 years . Unhappy employees read more

Please be careful of what you are served from this Starbucks.... I ordered a Very Berry Hibiscus with Lemonade add strawberries and blueberries... I explained repeatedly what I wanted and was told, "We do not have blueberries!" In which, I responded, "The ones used for the oatmeal topping." The cashier(Vanessa) handed the blueberries to the lady preparing my drink. I questioned her about it....the items in my drink were inedible....stay away!!! NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE...
