yesterday they charged for a tall when I asked for a venti today they charged me for a venti when I asked for a tall which is so expensive, they made my friends drink wrong she had to go back and ask, they clearly aren't listening to directions and are charging people more money than they need to. read more

Starbucks - this is supposed to be a tall so unexeptable - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

Nestled beside the photo-op "Greetings from Lake Geneva" mural, this Starbucks is a throwback in the best way possible to the days when Starbuckses were expansive, inviting, and felt like gathering places. It's a nice spot in the heart of Lake Geneva's main touristy corridor and a great place to relax and get some reading or writing done before hitting the beach. Drew is an outstanding barista and deserves all the praise for staying on top of things. read more

The Starbucks itself was lovely the wait time was absurd. I have never waited in line so long just to get a giftcard and water. The cashier kept leaving the register after every order which caused people to be waiting in line for an extremely long amount of time. The employees are extremely busy and overworked. read more

the people who we're working we're SO FRIENDLY!! i know that one of their names is Miles but im not sure about his coworker. they were both so nice and chatty and honestly made the experience amazing. the store was clean as well and my friend loved the drink they made for her! read more

Great atmosphere with lots of seating options. There is a cozy fireplace with leather chairs and lots of outlets for charging. read more

Starbucks - a coffee shop with a stone counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

As another reviewer said, this Starbucks is always busy because they don't have much competition in the town of Lake Geneva. I like it, though...on the outside it looks like a big house, and the inside is very spacious with lots of seating. They also have one fireplace. It's quaint and cozy. read more

One hour wait from order to receiving a drink. I went to get a breakfast in a nearby restaurant, while my wife went to get coffe. I sat down, ordered, ate. Then came to Starbucks and my wife was still waiting for a drink. Over an hour actually. Total collapse today. read more

Worst Starbucks I've ever been too. Not sure the barista even knew how to make a Frappuccino. It was that bad. Not to mention how long it took to get the drinks. read more

Slowest Starbucks I've ever visited...thought I was in Florida! Found fly hanging out in food container(see pic). Decided to pass on my fav banana nut loaf! Only positive offered for me to wait for fresh brewed Pike! read more

Starbucks - Cinnamon danish....NO Charge Fly! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

I have discovered that not all Starbucks are alike. With that statement, I believe that the Starbucks restaurant looks so much different from the average Starbucks yet in a very positive way. As you can see from the front of the store's picture this looks like a far different store than we have found so far. As we entered the restaurant, I discovered different areas for different activities. Outside you will find a number of outdoor tables. Within the store you can be seated in comfortable chairs around the fireplace. Sections of normal chairs and tables await you. Higher tables and chairs are interspersed throughout the establishment. The wait staff was courteous as well as endowed with a sense of humor. I have discovered blueberry ice tea and peach ice tea. I asked the barista if they had cheese curds since it is in Wisconsin. She said no but that would be a great addition to the Starbucks menu in Wisconsin. read more

It's Starbucks. We ordered our drinks, paid for our drinks, got our drinks. All to be expected. All executed as expected. Nothing exceptional about the service. Just - as we expected. read more

Worst Starbucks I have ever been to. Took 20 minutes to get two green iced teas. And then we sat down with them, sipped them, and discovered they were sweetened. We had ordered unsweetened. Had to go back and have them correct the order. Place was filthy ~ unwiped tables with food remnants and garbage on them, garbage cans overflowing, floors dirty. I didn't dare go to the bathroom while I was there. Chairs at the table we were sitting at were hard and uncomfortable. Noise level extremely loud. read more

I give a four because this is by far the slowest employees and seemingly semi-unconscious. Repeatedly asking stupid questions when a customer is ordering. Ignoring mobile orders. Every time I've ordered mobile I have to come in and ask them to make it. One word. Ineptitude read more

With respect to the basics, this is reliable Starbucks, with a friendly staff, solid drinks, etc. But it must be said, the location itself has a really high ceiling. So it gets noisy easily, sound echoes, and it's even hard for whoever is taking the order to hear you. It would be great if they put something in the ceiling to reduce the noise, but it would be shocking if they did so. read more

For ever and ever my go to place in town. Very different than the other 1e6 mermaid locations. I do miss kat and the old team circa 2010. Turnover is high and they move folks often (spreading the best around but hey I'm selfish and want them here). This one was remodeled with reclaimed wood from local barn. Nicely done. Nice park in front to sip and watch Chicago tourists in summer. New peets is opening soon so let's see if competition is good for mermaid. read more

Cozy location right in downtown LG! They have plenty of comfy chairs in front of a fireplace. Employees are friendly and they have upbeat classical music playing. Also have outdoor seating when weather permits. Great study spot as well. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

I enjoy coffee and doing remote work here. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. I aways get a black coffee with cream. More often then not the coffee is just luke warm. This is different than most other coffee shops I frequent (Inspire and Boxed and Burlap). Perhaps the coffee sits too long? read more

This location is by far THEEE BEST I've EVER been to!! So cozy!! Very busy lines because I'm assuming it's in downtown Lake Geneva so they get a lot of tourists walking through town and stopping by. Anyhow, they have a variety of treats and sweets, sandwiches, snacks, water, different types of juices, and coffees of course!! Also, they have GREAT gift selections and coffee beans!! Oh...and did I mention that everyone there is so friendly? The employees here are so kind to their customers! I will miss this location when I go back home to Chicago... But I will DEFINITELY BE BACK while I'm in town!!!! read more

This place is disgusting. There was literal shit all over the men's room yesterday. The bathrooms were closed for hours as usual while not a soul cleaned it. Finally they did and kept it closed another 2 hours. LITERAL. SHIT. ALL OVER. The trash was overflowing as usual while the staff chatted and there was no line. Trash all over the floor. Wifi never works. I think I'm done coming to this location ever again. read more

Excellent downtown location. Street parking only, but tonight was less congested. Awesome staff...friendly and knowledgeable. Chatted with me while they made my Mocha Latte. Fireplace was a nice touch! Very toasty! read more

Taylor is awesome! He's the manager and friendliest barista I've ever seen! Typical Starbucks, but with 4 to choose from in the area, service makes the difference! I work from Starbucks often and will be back to this one! He knows people's names, their drink and asks everyone their plans for the day! He even offered tips to the out of towners! Nice job, Taylor! read more

It's a Starbucks! The staff and baristas is what make or break a location. If a location can't make my simple ice blended mocha frappucino and or they are rude, I might not come back. read more

No surprises here at the Starbucks of Lake Geneva. The service is friendly but sometimes slow. I like the outdoor and indoor seating and they have a very nice fireplace to keep warm in the winter. read more

I came here because that new place closed at 6 (so no trying out the 'Honey Badger for me). But, it was worth coming here. It's not the middle of tourist season, Brian whipped up a Blonde Iced Americano in no time flat, and showed enough personal interest to joke about card readers with me- unlike some snotty baristas at other locations. Kudos, Brian. Sure, service might be a different story during tourist season, but look at it this way: ALL of Lake Geneva is a zoo in season. As a semi-local, I do my best to avoid the whole town during the summer months... read more

Pathetically incompetent. Waited 25 minutes for an iced green tea that we ordered ahead with the Starbucks app. We were not offered a free drink voucher but we did get an apology. Still...when you're standing there and watching them run around each other with very little coordination, it's frustrating as hell. I'll survive, not that big of a deal, but I'll never go back here again. There is a new Starbucks with a drive thru opening up closer to Hwy 12! Can't wait. read more

Giant Starbucks, nice outdoor seating with very friendly service. I haven't reviewed a Starbucks (or have I?) but this is totally typical and fine. read more

For years, this lot sat vacant, and then Starbucks moved in. A wonderful location, a larger Starbucks, with plenty of room and a warm, cozy fireplace for those cool autumn and chilly winter days. The lines are usually long here because Lake Geneva does not have much competition in the coffee and tea market. However, a drink near the fireplace in Lake Geneva is completely worth it. The pastry and other edible items are almost always fully stocked here and the service is usually excellent. It's your typical Starbucks fare, nothing unique or different, but for those of us who love Starbucks, this hits the spot! read more

This is the BEST starbucks I have ever visited. It is warm, inviting and comfortable. There is a variety of types of tables and chairs to sit in and enjoy a warm beverage on a cool morning. The ladies that were preparing the drinks there were so engaging and entertaining. Truly appeared as though they enjoyed their jobs and what they do. If all starbucks were like this, I would like it even more. read more

Finally one with a drive through in town. Based on the traffic in line it's easy to see that it's a winner for those that don't want to park and trek into the store downtown. Good and quick service. read more

This was a fantastic Starbucks. It was clean, roomy, and had great staff working when I visited. I always appreciate when an employee can make me feel like I'm welcome somewhere - even a place as mundane as the local Starbucks. I would happily come out of my way in the future to make a stop here. read more

One of the most "Homie" Starbucks I've ever been to. Staff is great! Also... FIREPLACE! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

Typical Starbucks. Good seating, fireplace, and layout. Generally just a good spot to hang out, study, or meet up. Usually a long line here as it's the only one in a VERY busy small town. Have visited multiple times and the staff seems to be generally younger and not as attentive to detail as I'm used too. // Waited for my entire order to be done before mentioning my name, even though I was there obviously waiting for something. // Took liberties with my simple name // I had many items and was by myself - they didn't think to ask if I wanted a carrier. So I got one myself and the barista watched and never said anything or offered to help, they continued to clean there station. // Mind you, there was 1 person in line, 5 employees behind the counter. Not that I won't return, just frustrating - knowing the potential. read more

Nice place but very slow service and a minute after my wife bought coffee and a snack they would not give me change for a 20 bill unless I purchased something more. read more

I wish I could give them a negative rating. 35 minutes for 2 black unsweetened iced coffee. Need I say more. And after 35 minutes had to settle for a cold brew they ran out of iced coffee read more

I ordered a venti and received a grande, but they re-made it so all is well. What was weird was that the entire place was FILLED with kids from local high school and grammar schools who don't buy any SB's products and take up all the seats. Screaming, yelling, running around and hitting each other... what fun! Meanwhile I order my drink and can't find a seat. Starbucks, all it takes is a policy. A reminder. Some way to let these kids know they're driving away paying customers and aggravating everyone. read more

One star goes to the barista that correctly put my order in. Good job -4 stars go to the barista that made my order. She made a green tea latte with about twice the amount of matcha than needed. Then apparently thought it would be fun to make me wait 13 minutes for a double shot of espresso that just sat there and cooled as she made 4, FOUR specialty Frappuchinos for 3 other customers that ordered after me. WHERE IS YOUR REASONING?! Thanks for the crappy matcha and the cold espresso AFTER I had to call you down and ask you where the rest of my order is. I didn't even bother asking her to correct my green tea latte cause at this point I've been at Starbucks for almost 20 minutes thanks to the shit service of the staff. Way to go staff working on Friday 6/19 at 1pm! read more

Wow, this Starbucks is huge. Quality consistent with all the other Starbucks I been to. Honestly, probably the best thing in Lake Geneva downtown. read more

Barista "Dee" is a meanie!! Dare I begin the story of Valentines day night when all I wanted to do was get a "buy one share~ one latte"? Well..... here goes.... (and the 3 stars are for the bomb interior that made me feel like I was in a mountain lodge out west in a ski town...and the yummie latte as well). All I asked was, "if I get the buy one share one, can they be two different kinds?" I wanted a white choc mocha and a cinnamon dolche for hubby. Meanie Dee says, "What?? You want 4??" Me: "no, I have a coupon for buy one share one, I wanted to know if they can be different" Meanie: "Well do you have 2 coupons?!?" Me: "Ummmm, no, I only want one drink, and one free drink" Frankly, I didn't even need the freakin coupon because from 2-5 that day it was buy one share one also.... Meanie: "Where did you get this??" Me: "Ummmm, starbucks.....and I already used it at my local starbucks and the NICE barista there let me keep it to use again before it expired" Meanie: " Ugh! This is really hard to do in the system" Me: "B***h get my coffee!" Okay, that didn't happen, but I'm mad about how nice I was about the whole thing. Lady, I am a grown ass woman and I do not care to fight with you about a latte. Cripes...avoiding in the future read more

Service was awesome. Made a mistake by asking for a frapp when really I just wanted an iced coffee. The server was so nice she gave me both.

i've been to a lot of starbucks. all over the country. my level of pretension is pretty high. i love both starbucks and whole foods and i feel no shame in saying i seek them out, knowing full well how much i am going to pay for a cup of coffee or a salad, respectively. that being said... this starbucks was enormous. spacious. clean. lots of windows. a huge ass fireplace in the middle of it. it was like getting coffee in my granpa's ski cabin. except my grandpa never had a ski cabin. he's not rich. i just pretend he was. when i pretend i am.... when i pretend $3 is totally acceptable for a cup of coffee. i wasn't forced to wait for my cup of coffee on top of ten other patrons who looked like they had better places to be. i wasn't forced to try to hear my name being half yelled, with customary eye roll from whatever barista isn't so excited to be serving up my grande iced coffee, hold the syrup, in a venti cup, extra soy milk. yeah..... it's *that* kind of order..... but it's also *that* kind of coffee place. starbucks, lake geneva, you nailed it. read more
