Starbucks is a place I go for a latte, and cake pop and not much more. The food and drinks are quite good, but pricey which I dislike, since I prefer good quality, which it is with cheap prices, which it isn't. The service is not fast, but not slow, just a middle speed for service. The ambiance is okay, not my favorite I normally just get my stuff then leave. I would probably suggest it if someone's visiting, but these are all over earth, and there all over America, so they've probably had it. read more

Didn't get much service because I placed a pick up order but the drink itself was just what I needed to get through Christmas morning. The cold brews are my go to with light sweet cream and the hit the flavor spot on. read more

Starbucks - Cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina

I usually go to this store when the morning shift is there and never have any issues with my drink. Today I just so happen to want a drink at 8 PM so I order my typical drink, white mocha breve extra whip no ice, I don't get ice because it makes it too cold for my liking and I put extra whip because if I leave it with the normal amount (that automatically comes on the drink) majority of the time I would get a drink with no whip at all. When they handed me the cup this evening it was basically half latte half whipped cream....excuse me....Never have I ever ordered and received such a pathetic drink. With Starbucks charging for every modification you make the least they could've done was fill the extra space from there being no ice with half and half. WHICH THE MORNING SHIFT ALWAYS DOES. read more

Starbucks - My order - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina

See all

I go to this location the drink is made different every time. Today was the worst. As I read others reviews, they have had the same issue. For the price you pay all workers should make all drinks the same way. I am done with Starbucks Fuquay location. read more

I go to Starbucks often but em's hospitality and customer service really stood out to me. Going to make this location my regular from now on! read more

From the drive thru, it's a pretry good in/out and the baristas are often cool. But they really lost points with me today when I stopped inside for a simple light roast pour over. Probably not so "simple" at your average mom & pop, but Starbucks claims to be a leader in coffee, even if we all know the truth. They offered me a Veranda blend and I don't do blends because I'm a single origin drinker. Again, handle your business, Starbucks, and prove yourself. They could not. In fact, the guy I spoke to had no idea what a "pour over" was. So I made it easy on them and myself and ordered a Pike Place. Mental note: don't expect much from this place. A. read more

It's Starbucks. Simple and plain. Quick bites, drinks, and when the lobby is not crowded, it's great. This location is in the heart of a growing town, so the influx of folks creates incessant traffic, long lines, and a lot of pressure on those employees. They are very professional and courteous, but they are often very focused because it's a busy location. At times I feel for them, because some people don't have the patience to wait. Not understanding that these folks are working hard. The vibes are often pretty good if they have enough support for business. However: I know how hectic things have been since Covid and several entities do not supply stores with proper staffing and supplies. All in all: it's Starbucks. Just give folks patience and kindness. read more

The parking for this location is the worst and the drive-thur line is always wrapped around the building during peak times. I usually order online for pickup, and it was very efficient but has gone down hill unfortunately. The staff does seem nice but you will stand there for a bit until you're helped; not sure if it's understaffing issues... The stores appearance on the outside is nice but the inside looks ran through and trash littered everywhere on the coffee counter where you get your napkins, coffee stir etc. Again these are things I've noticed over a period of time going into the store. Lastly they do charge extra for modifications which is perfectly fine, and every Starbucks does HOWEVER my last 4 coffee orders (different trips to the store) has been made completely wrong. All the modifications I've made to my order through the app and paid for, would be left off completely. Each time they do apologize and fix what's been left off which is all good! I'd love to see this location succeed and undergo some changes here and there but rating 2/5. Hopefully in the near future it's a 5/5! read more

Slow and unapologetic about having a line of customers wait 7 + minutes because the printer messed up.

WOW LOVE THIS LOCATION! I wish I could make this my regular Starbucks but unfortunately I live in California! I have a difficult order and Jay understood it perfectly and was an incredible multitasker! At the window I added a cake pop and she did it in a breeze with no hesitation or added time! We were so impressed with her! I'm a manager for a living and wish I could hire her! Hopefully when you pull up to the drive thru you get Jay read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina

First of all...my daughter and I come here every other day. 8 out of 10 times my drink is wrong. I always order a Venti Iced Coffee w/whole milk and Classic Syrup. 8 times out of 10 I don't get the Classic Syrup, or not enough milk. This has been going on for some time now. I'm the type of person that doesn't complain. Well today I've had it! We went today and my Venti Iced Coffee w/whole milk and Classic Syrup was once again wrong!!!! I guess it could be my fault for not checking my drink before I pull away from the drive thru window. But honestly...isn't it theirs for not checking what the drink is before they hand it to me?? We spend 12.00-14.00 dollars every time we go! I don't understand why they almost every time get it wrong. So here's a pic of my Venti Iced Coffee w/whole milk and Classic Syrup...come on Starbucks, do better!! read more

Starbucks - Not a Venti Iced Coffee w/whole milk and Classic Syrup! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina

When I moved to FV back in 2006, I had to drive to Cary to get my daily fix. When Starbucks finally came to Fuquay, I was embarrassingly excited. I was there a lot. I still am. When I was checking hours today I saw all of these awful reviews and was a little befuddled. I'm not sure if the poor reviews were from people having extra crappy days or what the circumstances were, but I can ASSURE you that the WORST Starbucks location is the one at 55/54 at the I-40 exchange. Like at any coffee shop, there's always going to be turnover. When the new staff come in they need some time to learn how things work. This location has some long-time vets working that will fix errors quickly. Everyone is friendly and they go out of their way to learn names and faces of regulars. If your drink is wrong, just tell them. They'll fix it. You don't have to be a jerk about it. It's the only Starbucks in town, there will be a line at prime times, plan your trip accordingly. Also, being a gold card member doesn't give you special priority - so I'm not really sure when mentioning that in your review is relevant to the store. Grow up and enjoy your overpriced coffee. This store is great. read more

The Starbucks Komodo Dragon Blend is one of my favorites. The whole beans grind well and have a hearty aroma before brewing. The brew is flavorful and robust nose with a nice exotic smooth finish. read more

Terrible customer service. Did an online order for an espresso shot, pickup time was expected 1:03... I get there and I'm waiting inside for them to call my name. 10 minutes go by and I ask the barista, one ignored me all together and ask another to come to the front and help. So the other girl comes up and I tell her I'm waiting for an online order for an espresso just want to make sure you got the order, she said "we will call you when it's ready" I sit there until 1:38... they finally ask the name on my order again and then make it for me. By far the worst Starbucks I've been to. They were rude and not helpful. I had originally placed the order for one shot of coffee at 12:50 and didn't get it for almost an hour later.. almost comical. Things happen but their crap attitudes are the reason I'm posting this read more

This Starbucks is not my favorite. I am not sure what it is, but almost every time I get a drink here it doesn't taste as good. The drive thru can become insane. I have waited almost 15 minutes after ordering my drink before. This morning it wasn't bad. I only go to this Starbucks out of convenience and I will continue to go back because of that. read more

Starbucks - In love with this coconut milk macchiato! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina

Earlier this week I came into this Starbucks, (which I do just about daily) and got my coffee refilled at no charge. Today I walk in and the same young lady who had filled it previously, walks up to the counter. Today is a different answer. I was told that I could not get a refill. Well after being a gold card member for 4 years this was the absolute 1st time I had ever heard this. If this is the rule then I am all for it. What I am not all for is Inconsistency. If it is not acceptable today, then it should not be acceptable ever. I do not need to know that you have been working there since your were 15. I do however want to know why the sudden change. read more

Starbucks - Iced Caramel Macchiato Upside Down - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER AT A STARBUCKS. I went through the drive through and was treated terribly. When I got to the speaker to place my order, the woman taking my order was rude and condescending. She asked if I needed to place an order. Confused, I answered yes. I'm in the drive through. Of course I want to place an order. She asked if I just drove by someone in an apron standing outside taking orders. I told her no. She rudely and condescendingly replied "well I'm looking at her on my camera right now, but WHATEVER." I am a safety professional. I notice if I just drive by someone standing in the drive through. I am not an oblivious fool. I do not appreciate some person working at a drive through acting like she's smarter and better than me and that I'm a moron. When I got to the window I told her I didn't appreciate the attitude she gave me. To this she replied "I'm sorry you feel that way." This is not an apology. I told her as much, said I would never be back, and drove off. This is NOT how ANY customer service establishment should be treating their clients. I will gladly take my money and spend it at a place where I am treated respectfully. What's even more appalling is that this woman is apparently a manager at this store. She had short curly dark hair and multiple nose piercings. She is a terrible employee, terrible manager, and an embarrassment to Starbucks. If she was my employee I would fire her on the spot for treating a customer this way. If I could give zero stars, I would. read more

I frequent this Starbucks daily. I almost Always am very happy with my orders and service. I do have to make sure to ask for light ice on my iced coffees because if not it will be over iced. The management is very helpful & will right any wrong which is not often. Recommend read more

The service here is excellent! All of the baristas are so nice and welcoming. All of the staff members always have a wonderful attitude and engage in conversations. One worker in particular named Emma Kate is very friendly and talkative. Keep up the good work, Starbucks! read more

Update: They have posted signs to instruct drive thru customers go work their way around the parking lot in a more orderly fashion. This changes everything. Considering the situation at the drive thru was my only problem with this location, they deserve the full 5 stars now. Well done addressing the problem read more

Meh. This is the only Starbucks in Fuquay. So it gets 2 stars for existing. Outside of that, I've never had a good experience here. It's mediocre at best, no one listens when you place your order, I've gotten dairy drinks when I've paid for soy, and the drinks take forever. I continue to patronize this Starbucks because of the rewards system, ease of using the app, and consistent menu of drinks, but if you have time to hit up a regular coffee shop in Fuquay I recommend that for your coffee going experience over this Starbucks. I've been a Gold Card holder as long as I can remember and frequent Starbucks more than I'd care to admit. The quality is going downhill and the experience is going downhill. Unfortunately it shows at this location. read more

Why is this place always a nightmare? This is the only Starbucks in Fuquay and I have never been sitting in a Drive-Thru as long as I have in my life with any Starbucks anywhere else. Please get another Starbucks in this town. Please! read more

Always greeted with a friendly smile, some joking, and laughing. This huge chain coffee shop is a local shop for us. They know most of the people that come in and I notice they know many of regular's drinks (like us). My husband hated coffee before this particular Starbucks. They recommended so many different drinks until he finally settled on the vanilla latte, while milk, no foam! That is what got him hooked. Love this place and the people in it. read more

I quite enjoy the baked goods from Starbucks but it seems half the time when I order an iced black tea lemonade they get part of it wrong, such as not putting any lemonade in it. I know it can get very busy but it's very disappointing. When I've asked for them to fix it usually they are helpful but I wish it didn't need to be fixed in the first place. read more

Tried the bacon egg bites and they were awesome but you get 2 the size of 50 cent pieces for $5.50. Also tried the sugar plum danish and crem brulee latte and they were both delicious. My go to is always the iced lemon loaf which was fresh and delicious as always!! Only reason for 4 stars was $26.00 for 4 snacking size items is way over priced but such a nice treat when I have a little extra $ saved! read more

I'm not sure why, but when I ordered an iced caramel coffee made with sweet cream, it was rung up as a vanilla cold brew with vanilla sweet cream cold foam. These aren't the same at all, and after waiting 20 minutes for a coffee that tasted horrible, I had to wait for another 20 minutes for the right coffee. I get mess ups happen, but they didn't even take my order right. read more

The employee at the drive- thru ( I believe his name was Alex) was extremely friendly and efficient getting me my drink! This is not the first time I've gone to this location and had an extremely friendly employee take my order and give me my drink. The drive thru set up is not great/ is hard to get in and out of if it's a busy time. However, if you're able to go inside they usually get you're order to you within 5 minutes! read more

Great am. & pm. Easy to talk to staff, great coffee, small indoor seating space but enough space on Patio if not too hot. When asked for "Room for cream", it's never low enough, but I'm nitpicking all Starbucks do that. Scott read more

This has to be the SLOWEST Starbucks. It always takes 20-30 minutes to get through the drive thru. It's ridiculous. I don't know who's managing this, but there has to be a better way! When you get to the window, you always wait 5+ minutes. If you choose to walk inside, it's not any better. The staff is always friendly, but it doesn't make up for the time it takes to get your coffee. read more

I come here just about every morning to get some time out of my office. If there was one in Holly Springs I would not drive out of my way to FV, but since a regular Holly Springs Starbucks location doesn't exist, FV gets my business. The staff is nice and the coffee is the same as every other Starbucks in the country. The drive through is ridiculous. There are often more people in that line than inside, although I don't mind not having a line inside. read more

It's Starbucks. In case you've never been, they serve coffee in hundreds of variations with a minimal menu... Very commercialized. If you're looking for more of a unique experience local to Fuquay only, try Stick Boy Bread where everything is fresh. read more

11.4.18 was a crazy busy sunday morning at starbucks. I don't have anything negative to say at all about my experience and typically when it's busy and crowded it's a little aggravating for everyone. I had the BEST experience here starting with ordering my drink with the cashier helping me choose a custom made coffee and receiving a complimentary lemon pound cake (made my day) then waiting for my drink to be made, watching the baristas work their butts off with a huge smile on their faces. It was so nice watching the friendly interactions between the baristas and customers! read more
