Fantastic! Along with all the usual delicious Starbucks drinks, there are nice tables and areas for studying. Also, surprisingly it wasn't super crowded the times I came here. However one thing to watch out for is that some of the chairs on the sides are "connected" in terms of furniture so whenever someone else gets up/sits down or even just shifts their weight your own chair might come up or down..that was indeed quite distracting when it happened. read more

This place was horrible staff rude and coffee was horrible tried few time while was there in area both times were horrible

Food is okay, it's Starbucks! Service is okay, just have to wait longer in the morning when order on app! Very busy place and not so clean at time. read more

Extremely slow. Poor service. I've waited over 30 minutes for my drink and it's not busy. The workers are rude as well.

Employees are rude here. 2 cups of coffee and when I ask if I can have the bathroom digits my answer? Have you bought anything? Clearly he had seen me prior to asking. If you only had seen the clientele, yet had attitude towards me. Never again. read more

Yeah my girl had a lot of fun here. Being that this is a college town somewhat. This made the atmosphere more fun and comforting. Lots of police hang out at this Starbucks too folks, so do not think about committing crimes here, or doing something you might regret. Anyways, we were in town for one of my business meetings, and decided to go for some coffee and bagels. I got my usual tall coffee with cream cheese and all. Lines were long, and we waited at least 20 minutes. Which was cool, and no hurries. Nice and cool baristas work here. The coffee and bagels are good. I really love the vibe and atmosphere here. read more

So yes, I am reviewing yet another fast food place. Here's the thing though; Starbucks is one of the only big names I have perennially been a customer of! Usually I would go to the one over in Wilton, but ever since I have started coming to church in New Haven, I have become a repeat customer for this location. Now, if you had Starbucks anywhere in Connecticut then you know what to expect when placing your order here. But what I happen to love enough to award it another star is that this has become a second-to-none place to study thanks to those long tables! It allows me some peace to work through my training classes and I can't come here enough! It's 4 stars though because that's the only thing about this location that stands out. So yeah, thank Yale! read more

This company has slipped so much from its original mission and standards that it is unrecognizable. Traditionally, Starbucks was a place where adults would find a calm peaceful place to relax and have a coffee. Now it is a fast-paced, in-and-out, poorly- conceived teenage hangout. The music is cranked to ten, ubiquitous pop, the lines are long, the service is very slow (unless you are at the drive through) and they microwave their gummy bagels. Toasted would take too long. Also, the last straw is you can't pay without pressing "No Tip" on the device that the employee (who would presumably be receiving the tip) is holding in their hand. Corporate mess. No thanks. read more

Starbucks - Sad corporate mess... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

The manager closed restrooms for paying customers while we are still in the store. How do you operate a Starbucks or other food serving establishment without a working restroom? Is that even legal? read more

Just sharing my tremendous disappointment with reality vs promise One of those sandwiches looks good enough to eat. The other.... well would you spend $6.85 for that? read more

So slow, do not come unless you have 20 minutes to wait for your one drink. When you are waiting for your mobile order, they won't call your name out. You just have to go and check every time. read more

I can't believe how terrible this Starbucks is! We got there at 7:15, 15 minutes before closing, and guess what? The bathrooms were already closed. My 3-year-old needed to go, and it's just infuriating that they shut down essential facilities before their supposed closing time. What's the point of having posted operation hours if they don't stick to them? read more

This is a good Starbucks around the Yale campus. Everyone that works here is super sweet and courteous. The drinks are well made and the service is great. Some downfalls are that theirs no parking. It's usually very busy, crowded, and stuffy. Also, it's a little loud if you want to get work done or really need to focus. They have limited restrooms which may not be the cleanest. I would recommend coming here if your walking around the campus and want a quick sip (: read more

Great Service!! I love you guys! Everything is always fresh and made right. No complaints!

My husband and I stopped in this location on our way to Vermont. It's a rather large Starbucks, along what seems to be the main strip in this college town. It was clean and well staffed... the cashiers and baristas were all very friendly in what appeared to be a rather busy location. They made my drink and it tasted just as I expected. Because we were on a road trip, we also used he restrooms - they were clean enough and at least there wasn't a huge line. If I were to complain about anything, it was just a little slower than I would have liked, but overall was a fine experience. We also really thought the town itself seemed neat and will probably be back for a visit to the area read more

Typical Starbucks with typical offerings. On a college campus so lots of seating. Unfortunately the WiFi was weak and there was a serious lack of outlets. Service was super slow in store. But super fast if you ordered on the app. read more

Starbucks - Side by side comparison. Surprisingly I preferred the Juniper. But in reality will never order either again. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

This is a solid Starbucks option. Not a whole lot to really make it stand out. You'll have to pay for parking if you're driving as it's in downtown NH. But it's uber convenient if you're in and around the Yale area. There is plenty of seating and it makes for a cozy place to sip on your drink. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Great service and ambiance, the coffee needs improvement however. I would suggest to Starbucks to acquire better quality beans and not rely only on the sugary drinks. read more

Don't come here to do work if you need to charge a device. Maybe 1 of their 20 outlets work. Go to another coffee shop.

The guy who originally took my order was very nice. However, he put the order in wrong the older woman who was making the drinks got very annoyed because I explained to her that my drink was made wrong. She snatched the drink and continued to make several other drinks and then remade my drink. She made it right this time , however because of her attitude I will never go back to this location. read more

the middle-aged woman behind the register (wearing a mask today) has a notorious attitude among students here. came here multiple times having this lady rolling her eyes, sighing towards customers and today shouting at my face because i said pardon first time after she mumbled a few words in a loud and crowded store during the morning. I have been ignoring these behaviors thinking maybe it was just one of those days for her, but now it's pretty clear she is just an AH. nobody should be treated like this in the morning. Avoid the place, you don't need this. read more

The morning crew is spot on. They have a great system. I drop my son off at school order on the mobile app and pull up to a parking space, run in a grab my coffee. The weekly team members are friendly and have a system that runs smoothly with good communication during super busy times. The customers are pretty happy too! read more

I personally didn't have the greatest time at this location. There are a lot of coffeeshop options near it, which I probably should have chosen. I placed my order and the service was friendly, but I had to wait much longer for my drink here than I usually do anywhere else. The lady preparing my drink also spilled all around the cup and just put napkins around it before handing it to me instead of pouring it into another cup or wiping it down appropriately like I've seen baristas do at other locations. I should've spoken up about it which is my fault, but instead I had to grab extra napkins and wipe it off near the trashcan. read more

I stopped in here for a meeting with a friend to go over some pictures from a recent photo shoot. The only time I have ever walked into a Starbucks was to use the restroom up in Chicopee Massachusetts. I am completely blown away on the type of environment I walked into. Everyone sitting down on laptops with headphones in their ears. Needless to say it was fun people watching until my friend showed up. No real rhyme or reason why they're only getting three stars from me other than just getting a review. Was completely thrown off about the keypad locks on the bathroom doors though. read more

This is my favourite store of Starbucks in New Haven. It is located in front of the Yale Art Gallery and you can contemplate the view of that building from the window, enjoying a coffee. It's a calm and quiet place, usually full of students working in their laptops, but it is not that difficult to find a sit. The service is really good, always kind and attentive. Sometimes there is a slow line to order. If you order in the app even if you are standing there, you will get your order first. read more

The wait time has gotten extremely rediculous! Love blue state but it's not convenient anymore!

The wokers ( Not all ) have extreme attitude problems. I witnessed one morning a little boy wanting to ask for something at the drink counter and the bartista didnt even look up at him to ask if he needed help . When he finally said excuse me she answer rudely " yup " and not to mention the way she handed him the straw . ive witness them talk poorly to customers AS SOON as the door opens bec they didn't have a mask . Ive witnessed works have snobby and sarcastic remarks about customers the mgr seems to be pretty nice . read more

Just curious if Starbucks makes it general practice to yell at their customers and embarrass them when you come to pick up your order. Was picking up my togo order, stood there a while without anyone helping me so I grabbed my order and tried to leave, was then yelled at by the girl at the counter in front of other customer. I didn't quite understand why I wasn't allowed to take my own togo order but I do know I'll never come back. Thank you for starting my morning off on a bad foot. read more

This was your run of the mill Starbucks located within a city. The bathrooms have codes on them assumingely so people can't go in and shoot up. I only ran in quick to get a chocolate milk and water for the kiddos I was with so I can't really review the coffee or baked goods but I assume it was regular Starbucks quality. read more

07461 - that's the bathroom code. I mobile ordered from here, left with my drink, all was fine. I came back later, drink still in hand, to use the restroom. I saw there was a long line of about 6 people at the cash register which I did not think it was necessary for me to wait in just to get the bathroom code. So, I approached the barista at the other end and nicely asked "hi, can I ask what the code to the restroom is?" "You can go ask her at the register okay?" She responded (woman w turquoise glasses). So, I, a customer who had already paid, waited in line for about 7 more minutes just to use the bathroom. In the time it took to condescendingly redirect me to the register, she could have just given me the code which she doubtless knows. Further, only one of two restrooms at this establishment works as they have taped up a sign saying "Restroom closed" on one of the doors, which the employees proceed to go in and out of to use their own toilet. I don't think it's worth it to annoy customers and add this hassle all to protect the sanctity of the Starbucks restrooms. read more

This location is in the heart of downtown New Haven right near Yale's campus. The vibe is always laid back and chill. Students on their laptops, professionals stopping by for their web orders and professors taking a break. Staff is fast, efficient and keeps things pretty neat and clean. Nearby is the Yale Art Gallery and Yale Repertory Theater. Across the street is the British Art Museum. I do iced coffee year round and can say with confidence ( and certainty) they get it right every time. Don't let one asshole in Philly ruin it for all the other cafes. Starbucks wanted to discuss race and somehow the ball got dropped. My hat's off to the CEO for really attempting to make a difference. read more

AWFUL! Almost always understaffed and when they have more employees than normal they are just standing around talking to each other. Waited 23 minutes for my order this AM with 6 employees here. And when I asked where my order was they were rude about it. Watched one employee named Karen (oh the irony!) berate a customer for touching their coffee on the before Karen could call his name. read more

I hate that this is the only Starbucks downtown. Unlike every other Starbucks I frequent, and yes I go everyday, usually to Cheshire one on my way to work (fantastic), the employees here are super rude and always running behind. I can understand that part, being busy sure, but they always give you an attitude! There have been other issues but what prompts this review, today I was told to not grab my coffee until the second was ready? Why does that matter? Its not an issue at any other Starbucks. It's mine LOL, worry about making the rest of the coffees for people who are annoyingly waiting! The point of a mobile order is you see it and you grab it, I don't understand why I was reprimanded when those seconds could be spent moving the waiting line along. If there's an actual problem with people grabbing unfinished orders then come up with a different method than being rude to patrons. read more

What I like about this Starbucks particularly is that the space is large with plenty of outlets, proximity to my home and that b/c it is an international chain I can my credit card or better yet my app to purchase drinks/food. This is not the case at certain other local coffee shops that don't take credit cards if less than $5. Also hours are significantly longer compared to other including the university libraries (summer hours). read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

This is a nice Starbucks. The cool things are: the location. It's in the heart of the city. You can make a day out of chapel street alone. The setup. It has recycled material on the walls and the tables are made up of it as well. The negatives are parking- it's a pain to find a spot and you'll get ticketed if your meter is up. Also the crowd. Sometimes there's homeless people or addicts chillin there. read more

This review is specific to this location and not a review of Starbucks overall. I have spent many an afternoon at Starbucks on Chapel street (near Old Campus). More often than not, this location is packed to the brim with students, which makes seating a primary concern. Thus, whenever I pop in, I almost always take my beverage to go. Nevertheless, the beverages and staff here have been consistent and of good quality. Recommendation: -For those hoping to find seating, arrive at off-peak hours and be ready to wait for a seat or to find a secondary location. Verdict: Good for coffee on-the-go. read more

The Starbucks on the corner of Chapel and High street is my home away from home! They welcome me with open arms no matter the time of day, even at the crack of dawn. I usually get a chai latte, which warms my heart and makes me feel fancy; but, they're always willing to give me suggestions for great beverages should I feel adventurous. I've had almost every frappuccino they have to offer... And I'm a sucker for their frappuccino happy hour deals. This Starbucks can get busy, but the wait time is never painstakingly long, and your drink and food is always made to the highest standard. Speaking of standards, this Starbucks hosts a state of the art, clover brewing system and Starbucks reserve coffee. All in all, this Starbucks is a staple for New Haven - your tastebuds will dance with every brew! read more

Starbucks - Warming my heart and feeling fancy with my venti chai latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Review in a few words: You know what Starbucks is, this one happens to have a clover machine. Wait times can be a little lengthy due to tourist foot traffic and the usual Yalie crowd but the staff is pretty well-trained to handle it here. Review in full: As a law student who has scraped by working in coffee shops for over five years I need a base level of caffeine to function. I am not too picky (I drink the free coffee at my office that tastes like asphalt) but a nice cup every now and then can be a real treat. THIS Starbucks happens to have a clover machine. If you don't know what a clover machine is, it is essentially like a french press that is controlled by a robot scientist. Essentially the machine brews an individual cup of coffee for you that is time and temperature controlled down to the second and degree. The result is a damn tasty cup of coffee. I drink my coffee black and you can certainly taste the difference. If hanging out is your deal, this Starbucks is pretty spacious but it tends to fill up with people reading or otherwise dicking around on their computer. It can be nice to veg out here as the view of High/Chapel is good for people-watching and the architecture of the art galleries provides a nice backdrop. Service is also pretty good here and more importantly, consistent. This is a Starbucks and with the mark-up comes a little bit of customer entitlement. The guys here are happy to remake your drink if something is off... my girlfriend is rather picky so this happens now and again. Don't worry it is part of the deal. All things considered the only thing getting me through the door is the clover. This is a good Starbucks but I am usually pretty no-frills so far as coffee goes. It still is nice to treat yourself every now and again. read more
