Fricken idiots close store at 8ish. The web says 10! It's in a goddamn where you already have limited choices so they close early? Fire that idiot manager and stay open the hours you post on the web page. Or here is an idea Repost the hours of operation. I would have grabbed a cup on my layover instead of waiting till right before boarding. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

They charged me an extra $1 for the syrup in my iced coffee, and when I showed them that if I had ordered the same drink the same way to their airport terminal on the app, it would have been a $1 cheaper, they argued with me about it. I know Starbucks no longer serves classic in their iced coffee but syrup is not supposed to be a charge in it. If you're going to order here, mobile order so they don't rip you off. Probably pocketing the change. read more

Slow, disorganized, and it of everything. Skip this and go to Peet's. Employees seemed overwhelmed.

Asked for a venti white chocolate mocha and got a big a** cup of ice milk instead smdh.. No wonder why hobby airport only has 4 stars read more

Place online order @6:56am on 04/28/23. Due to be picked up at 7:03am once arrived to Starbucks near gate 45 Starbucks was closed. I called the store number listed no answer left a message to call me back so that I can be issued a refund. I'll be waiting when the Starbucks manager call me back if ever. Not fair that when your store is not open your online system will still take orders. read more

Dumpster fire still burning. They say their not serving cold drinks; however, I seen a gentlemen with a brand new strawberry Açaí within the terminal. They simply want to shit down cafe early and avoid any detailed customer service. I asked and gentlemen at this facility about that and he stated, "It must be a conspiracy." My 4th week in a row that this has occurred. Originally staff stated that they were training on hot drinks only. Laxman Narasimhan needs to fix this issue. read more

Ordered via mobile app. It's useless. They queue only mobile app orders, they were at least 30 minutes behind. I ordered 30 min ahead so I could have 15 min lead time to board my flight. I asked for a refund and walked down to Peet's and got my order in less than 5 minutes. Mobile app is useless and is a direct reflection of the service. read more

Why does Starbucks management/corporate not see a reason to fix the ongoing problem with this location? I am at this airport weekly. I don't usually go to this Starbucks because all Hobby frequent fliers know it's more than likely going to take forever. As someone who has patronized Starbucks in my hometown as well as all over the country for years, my experience is almost always good..sometimes great..certainly consistent. The hobby airport location near gate 45 is CONSISTENTLY HORRENDOUS. It's almost laughable. As I said, I don't stop in often, but I pass by it all the time. There always seems to be plenty of employees. I had a lot of time today and I was craving a holiday drink, so I went in. There are 8-9 visible employees including an on duty sup/mgr. There is NO reason that there should be extra long pauses where no orders (food nor beverages) are being taken. The line just grows as 2 people slowly make drinks and 4-5 other people are talking, laughing, and doing something other than engaging with the customers who've joined the line and are just watching and waiting witnessing the same thing that I've described. No one said to them "sorry for the wait/we'll be with you as soon possible" SOMETHING. I was second in line when I initially walked in. The one gentleman who actually was professional and doing something to move the line forward said he'd be with me in a sec. He prepped food from the order in front of me but it took him a while. I started to watch the time. It was 6 minutes before he took my order. That's a long time when again, there are 8 or more visible employees (including a lead) who are chatting, laughing and appear to be doing a bunch of nothing (slowly at that). The way they operate is inefficient, too slow, careless, and the opposite of what is needed in a fast paced busy environment that's run on a strict schedule like the airport. Why doesn't upper management or corporate care? There's no way they are unaware. Unacceptable. read more

Always rude never happy they do not know how to make a drink Simple no foam they say we cannot find spoon ok read more

Most of the time airport locations are a hit or miss but this is one of the good ones! We had some time before our flight so my gf wanted a drink and I needed a water for my meds. My girlfriend ordered a green tea lemonade and I was going to buy a bottle of water but they told me they could give me a big cup of ice water which was great because it saved me money since water is over priced in airports and I just had surgery which was pricey of course! The staff was super friendly and they got all the drinks out super quick! We will definitely be returning the next time we fly into this airport! read more

This has to be one of the worst customer service locations I have ever been too! I waited 10 minutes for a coffee. There where 3 people behind the counter. When another customer asked if she could help the one person making coffee her response was "im getting us ready for the morning rush" I seriously looked at her and stated "yes because the current customers waiting dont matter." Her response? No I was told to get ready. Awesome! There are 6 people waiting and clearly your co-worker is struggling. Glad to know where your priorities are! read more

Starbucks - Worst Starbucks ever - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

This Starbucks is located near gate 46. It is not only incredibly slow but it seems you can't use the Starbucks app to order. Once I did receive our beverages the macchiato was pretty good but the mocha tasted stale like something in it was old. I was looking forward to my Starbucks this morning. I really needed it. I wish I had gone to Peet's instead. read more

Starbucks - Anticipation ... you're making me wait ... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

If you want to miss your flight, order coffee from here...worlds slowest coffee shop. On an average it takes 25-40 min to get order...and yes I am not exaggerating.. read more

Update: when this place is slow, service is good and people are friendly. When they get busy (line out across the terminal), they just don't seem to feel a sense of urgency and continue to move at the same pace as when slow. Manager today just strolled our from the back room and did not move any faster than anyone else. They clearly lose business this way. Guess they feel like people will continue to come here no matter how slow the service is. And today they gave me a coffee instead of a chai. On top of everything, the manager argued with me whether the drink I just rated was chai or coffee. I know the difference but he does not seem to know about customer service. Think it's time to try something else for a while. read more

The female cashier serving guests at 8:18 am on Wednesday, 13 September is rude, rude, RUDE. It was bad enough that we waited in the extremely long line only to be told, "Oh, sorry, we ain't makin' any frapps today," and THEN to be told that they aren't accepting CASH?! Just close, dudes. I'd have probably found it in myself to extend the store a little grace for the no frapps/no cash inconveniences if not for the cashier's surly attitude. We will make sure to hit Peet's Coffee next time we fly out and avoid Starbucks at all costs. read more

Bad customer service. They don't smile like they don't like to work their. Pay service very bad I heard they told a customer do you have money our pay app. Not working and I could not get my points from starbucks either. Next time will go to peeps coffee plac3 read more

Makes sense why this place has 2 stars. Ridiculous. 12:45pm on 3/27/21 .. fire all 4 women working on that shift. No customer service. Personal discussions and phones out about who they're hooking up with is more important. 2 had phones out reading text messages to others about male airport workers they're hooking up with. Forgot about my drink and looked at me like I was crazy asking what they can help me with... uhh MY DRINK I PAID FOR. After making the drink, slid it across the counter to me and kept on with their convo. Absolutely unprofessional. read more

This Starbucks saved my night. I had a connection in Houston, which got me off the plane around 9:30. Unfortunately my flight was delayed 4 hours and I would just be sitting in the airport from 10pm-12am. I knew that I was going to get really hungry and thirsty if I didn't get something for the night. I was supposed to be home by 10:30! Every other restaurant in this whole airport stopped taking guests 20 minutes before and I spent that time running around trying to find something that would serve me. By the time I got to Starbucks, they were still open and took me as a customer. Thanks to them, I will not be hangry and tired while waiting for my flight home. Thank you Starbucks!! read more

It was a 25 minute wait for such a horribly made drink! I ordered a Frappuccino and there were chunks of ice all throughout it. Go to Dunkin this airport Starbucks is not it. read more

I stopped in here and got a drink and overall the people were nice but harried. I don't know, but I'm beginning to think that Starbucks is overdone and passé. On the other hand, I'm glad to see them at an airport or in the road. read more

Mobile order pick-up terrible. Waited 20 mins for my drink and had to leave it behind because of my flight. I understand staffing shortages but if you can't handle the demand turn that feature off. read more

I understand there's a high volume of orders coming through and very impatient people in line but to pay that much and wait that long then receive a poorly made beverage... it's not right. The food and music were fantastic though :) read more

Cannot be more dissatisfied with this Starbucks. Most of the restaurants and food places in the airport were closed so when I saw Starbucks was open I thought I could at least get a coffee. Stood in line only to find out that they were only selling bottled drinks!! Why be open if you can't make anything?! Could have at least had a sign up to let people know. read more

Slow and rude. They don't even bother to mix the drinks. They pour in the ingredients, slap a cap on it and the rest is up to you.

Traveling through Houston Hobby Airport, I needed a pick me up to start my day. I was pleasantly surprised by their efficiency while still having fun entertaining the customers. With fun music playing, many of the staff were able to get many of the customers sing and dance along. It was a first for me while waiting for my coffee. They were able to deliver my order just as fast as any other Starbucks location. Many of the ladies here have the Texas manners. By that I mean any question was followed with a Sir or Ma'am. When you don't hear that on a daily basis, you seem to appreciate those little things even more. Once again I leave a happy customer with my perfect skinny vanilla latte in hand! read more

honestly, I'm not sure what all these negative reviews are for, I was in and out within 5 mins with my two drinks (1 iced coffee and 1 blended white mocha) and there was about 10 waiters so I know it wasn't just a slow time. Service was friendly enough, no small talk but I'm not always looking for a run down of someone's life when I'm at the airport I'm on the get-in-get-out vibe. read more

Multiple employees standing around talking and looking at phones while customers are waiting 10+ minutes for orders.

If I could give zero stars I would. As a airport employee I like to get refreshed with a Starbucks to make me feel better, this establishment is horrid.. my drink is never right unless I stand and watch them make it.. today I ordered a venti Starbucks double shot and it was horrible ! There was not enough expresso the only think I tasted was ice and breve. I would not recommend.. go to dunkin or Pete's coffee when you're flying out of Houston Hobby read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came to Starbucks on Wednesday 4/7/21 to order at 5am when they opened where there was only one employee kennedi working by herself. We stood in line for almost 25 min because she was doing everything alone. I'm not sure who is in charge of staffing but this is unacceptable to have one employee working for tons of people. read more

Want fast courteous service. Want fresh drinks with espresso machines that have been cleaned regularly. Want half and half or 2 percent milk with your coffee without asking several times. Would you simply like to feel you are a priority or even a somewhat valued customer and not be forced to stand at the register waiting to order while the three workers have a conversation about last night...then hope they do those things at Pete's Coffee a few gates down or you will have to leave the airport to get an americano. This Starbucks falls well below the corporate standards set all around the world. Disappointing to say the least. read more

Worst Starbucks I've ever been to. I ordered my sandwich warm and they served it cold and on top of that they charged me for the wrong sandwich. The cashier is too busy conversing and joking with others instead of taking orders. I had to reorder my coffee twice because he never put it in the system to be made. And instead of fixing the issue with peoples orders they just stand there and stair at you. read more

So painfully slow and they got my order wrong. Doesn't seem like they have a system gotten down and workers are not on the same page.

This Starbucks is consistently slow. I frequently shop at this location due to the fact of the lack of options. For being located in an airport, there is never any sense of urgency. Give yourself at least 30-40 min to get your drink. Employees are texting on their phones and taking personal calls while making drinks. Reminds me of the sloths at the DMV in the movie Zootopia. read more

Starbucks in Hobby airport has got to be the worst service. The line is always long and the young people that work there have no sense of urgency. We stood there waiting for our drinks as the two people who ordered behind me got their drinks I asked about mine and they all just looked at me there was a drink sitting there that had been sitting there for a while. I asked if that's possibly mine and the gentleman ask well what name do you see on it? I said I don't want to touch somebody else's dream if it's not mine he picked it up and said there's no name on it and simply put it back down on the counter. I again asked where my drink was he said if that's what you ordered and that's your drink. I said I'm sorry but that's been there a while and you said somebody else's name when y'all put that down there but there's no name on the cup are you sure he was very obnoxious and rude and condescending and said if that is what you ordered that is your drink by the time I got my drink it was watered down and disgusting I would never come to this Starbucks again. I have heard the complaints before and now I have experienced them first hand. Either get your coffee before you get to the airport or go to Peet's coffee because the young men that work here have horrible condescending service. read more

This Starbucks is terrible. The staff behind the counter would rather talk and joke than get your order correct. It took several tries to finally get the order correct. While we were waiting one customer just left without his order or obey back. I asked for a number to call and they said they didn't have one. Will not be back even though I am through this airport quite a bit. Terrible read more

Asked for a cold brew with salted cream cold foam. Watched the barista put whipped cream and an actual salt packet on some regular coffee... Which does not taste the same. When I mentioned something seemed off (which I don't usually do, but it was a 5$ coffee) the barista grumpily said he could remake it the same way, but it would take forever. Frustrating experience. Just go to Peet's coffee and save uo read more

Ordered a tea and an egg white feta sandwich. The sandwich came out burning hot on the edges but there was a section in the middle where the egg was still kind of frozen and very cold. It was pretty bad... read more

Order was wrong and tasted horrendous. Slow, inefficient staff. Need energy? Better off getting an energy drink at the convenience store across the way. I don't know what all goes into making a cold brew... but I saw cold water being put into my cup, and it tasted like watered down espresso. read more

Worst Starbucks on the planet. Staff acts like they are doing you a favor by being there. Could not make an iced Americano ... read more

Sucha crowd! Took almost 20 minutes for a pike roast and toasted bagel. Right when I realized I forgot to grab knife, it was already there in my order. The guy at the back is great at his work and he makes sure orders are in the order :) great service!!! read more
