Staff is friendly and very welcoming , but the place is dirty , the floors and coffee area are always dirty . I get that people drop stuff , but have someone clean it . Also I have been drinking pumpkin spice late for a few years now and for some reason I feel like this specific location doesn't add enough pumps of pumpkin ... I thought the recipe was standard. read more

This is my favorite Starbucks in the city. Always greeted with a warm welcome and the drinks are fantastic! They always write something cute on the cup as well. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Employees are friendly. I love one of the managers with his sexy self. And food and coffee 5/5 stars 100%

I absolutely love how this Starbucks location is one of the few that is really sticking to their values regarding pride decorations. Barbie who works behind the register is friendly and funny. I'm very happy with my experience with my order, which is the usual Venti Matcha Latte with oat milk, and I know that this is one of the few Starbucks locations that I really love. I'm glad that this location is so close to me. read more

The larger Starbucks on 93rd & B'way closed permanently and this one was completely renovated to take out all the seating. So if I want a place to chill with a cup of coffee I will now have to go to the Dunkin with the loud music and crap ambiance. Crosstown there's a plethora of quaint, cozy non-chain coffee shops with infinitely better coffee. There's a Starbucks on Madison with fantastic banquet seating. I have yet to find a similar quality place within walking distance from me, and now even the mediocre spots are gone. Every day I'm more and more disappointed with the UWS. And I know I'm taking it out on this Starbucks, but when you remove everything that makes a coffee shop a shop I might might as well get my coffee from the cart on the corner and sit on the median breathing in car exhaust. And closing at 8pm is just icing on that crap cake. If every Starbucks closed I wouldn't miss them. read more

Small location with limited seating, but 80's new wave playing and friendly baristas. I dropped in for an iced coffee after my workout at the NYSC next door. Not much else to say. Pretty standard 'bucks menu. Got my drink quickly. Not much seating in this one. Large communal table smack in the middle, and some window seating all crowded up with wifi hogs at every seat. Basically a grab and go location to me. All good and A-OK. read more

This Starbucks literally has no chairs and only has a few drinks. I'm definitely not coming back.

The service here is so above what you expect that I was actually shocked. The Team here works together which means that you never suffer as a customer when a staff member drops the ball. The line is consistently moving, which is great because the register area is quite small. However, the diminutive space near the register is so, in order to make maximum space for seating. The signature floor-to-ceiling windows are supported by bench windowsills which double as seats--smart! Bathrooms are clean, as is the rest of the store, and the drinks are great. I ordered the special roasted butterscotch latte with a little whipped cream and that is exactly what was served. Of utmost importance: my name was spelled perfectly! Service was friendly, welcoming, respectful and best of all efficient. I can see how and why they stay in business. read more

Starbucks - Register area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

This looks like a macchiato. If i wasn't in a rush and didn't already ask for one drink to be remade this would've been remade as well . This is supposed to be a caramel frappe crunch . Every-time i come to this Starbucks the star goes down . This is a blended drink but it seems all the ingredients were just thrown in the cup . Drinking frozen coconut milk until my straw can reach the caramel ‍ read more

Server made my day! Everyone had a great attitude ! Thanks for being so positive. Merry Christmas! Very cute spot. Decorated for the holidays. No room to sit. Truly lovely staff. read more

NO SEATING! No comments on the quality of the beverages, just disappointed that there is no place to sit here. What? The Starbucks app says "Starbucks wifi" and Yelp says "Good for working." Nope and nope. Boo! read more

I am not a fan of the big guy who makes the drinks. He doesn't wear gloves and he talks too much. I also saw him taking shots of different things while he was making the drinks for people. He couldn't even decipher the different starbucks abbreviations for the drinks he was making. The counter people are nice and very efficent. They were also helping him out by preparing all of the cups for him which he also did not realize. Everything was a discussion. Just do your job dude! There was a hold up because this guy was a chatterbox. I am glad that I didn't get sick from the drink I got which was the caramel flan frappucino. Tasted like artificial caramel though kind of like those too sweet caramel werther candies. I am not a regular coffee drinker but even if I was I don't think that I would come here that often because of the guy who makes the coffee, I got my $1 reusable plastic cup from here which gives you .10 cents off every time you use it at the store but the lids are very hard to snap back in. I use it as a cup for the office to make tea and with the tea bag the top is very tight and makes it very hard to squeeze back on which is a potential hazard if you have hot liquid inside. I did notice that they now offer cake pops from la boulangerie and a bunch of other pastries but they look very small. There are many other starbucks you can go to besides this one in a 3 block radius. This one is not that great. read more

Just another typical Starbucks on the block. There's window seating on high stools and then a big wooden table if you don't enjoy sitting on high stools to get some work done or to just relax and enjoy your drink. Service is pretty standard and so far no mistakes! read more

This Starbucks is way too congested. The space here is incredibly small. The set up is not very useful considering the limited space. Upon entrance, you'll notice that there is a single large, very wide, table in the center of the Starbucks. Typically you'll find small tables where people can enjoy their coffee privately, but here it is more of a boardroom setup where strangers sit side by side. It is probably best to grab and go. The staff here are kind and they serve a good frappacino. read more

Love this location. They're always very friendly and FAST! As for seating,they use the space pretty efficiently. One huge table in the middle of the room and a handful of window seats, as well. Their bathroom is always fairly clean, and I've seen them cleaning the space pretty frequently, as well. Being on the Upper West Side is great. Lots of fun conversations to overhear. Last thing, love their beverages and the consistency you get at Starbucks. read more

I'm not a Starbucks fan, but I like the employees here and that its not as freezing as the typical starbucks. Plenty of outlets. Kinda small and not the best atmosphere here but not as cold a the standard Starbucks which is a perk for a California girl like me. There is plenty of seating but its all barstool seating or tiny little tables with uncomfortable chairs.Again, not the best atmosphere, feels like it was a small fast food joint converted. The baristas are nice though, so its a good quick stop in Starbucks. read more

Barista: Hey, honey, how can I help you? Me: Hi! I'll have a Tall iced skim chai, please. Barista: ...no. Me: PLEEEEEASE? I'm so thirsty. Barista: Well...okay. If you insist... Me: I appreciate your benevolence, kind sir. - - - - Points for cheeky barista / customer banter with a smile and understanding of each other's sarcasm. Points for me having my drink in, literally, 20 seconds. Points OFF for not filling my cup up all of the way. If I'm knowingly wasting just shy of $4 bucks on milk, spicy sugar syrup, and a shit-ton of ice, at least fill my cup up to where it touches the lid. read more

Four stars for a Starbucks?! Yeah, yeah, I know...its practically blaphemous. I mean, how can something as generic and commercial as a Starbucks ever be more than 3-stars "A-OK"? Well this one manages to. Their staff are all SUPER friendly and personable. They ask me how my day is going, and chit-chat while my soymilk is steaming. They get my order right every time. Clearly the manager cares about his business because there are always extra staff members during the morning rush, helping folks like me get my Sbucks fix and get on with my day. The neighboring Starbucks at 93rd could take some advice from this team. See my review here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/starbucks-manhattan-124#hrid:DLI2VG1mpP9EC_OeNrZxDQ. read more

They need to hire more people or something, especially during rush hour. What's the point of mobile orders if I still have to wait in line like everyone else who didn't use it... I know it gets busy during commute hours but this happened way too many times and made me miss my trains to work. Having only 2 workers (1 at the cashier and 1 making the drinks) obviously is not effective when there are lines out the door read more

Pretty standard, efficient Starbucks. It's definitely crowded with customers, but the people who work here keep the area clean and pleasant. I wish there was a bit more space to stand in line and wait, for the line quickly folds back on itself and gets awkward. read more

This branch constantly has a line out the door and is usually packed to the rafters. But, the staff is cool and gets the job done. They actually seem to be more efficient than most Starbucks. I'll definitely be back, and maybe, just maybe, if the good Lord smiles down upon me, I'll be able to get a seat one of these days. read more

The closest Starbucks to my office, and right by the main entrance for the 1/2/3 at 96th Street so you know it gets crazy crowded. If you get there when an express train unloads, get ready to possibly stand out the door, on the street. Sometimes their staff is super nice, and sometimes they are just... not. Not necessarily nasty, just not as nice. You never know. Once every one in the store had apparently called out and only one guy was there to man the ordering and drink making, and it was unfortunately not a pretty sight. Like I said, it's a busy location. In terms of size, it seems fairly average, and they just remodeled it after Christmas 2011. Meh. I don't go every day, but sometimes if I have time I'll hit up the one on 93rd for shits and giggles because it's bigger and presumably less crowded. read more

This review is for every Starbucks in the country and beyond, even though this particular location is the one that I go to near my favorite Upper West Side haunts and private parking spot near St John the Divine - speaking of which, I have tried to like the Hungarian Pastry Shop's version (Russian Coffee) better, but I don't. This is also, appropriately enough, my first recycled review - which is to say I wrote basically the same thing about another Starbucks from an area that I frequently visit and in which I often post Yelp reviews. So I suppose this constitutes a chain review for a chain institution (Either way, the repeated text begins on the next line). I realize that contrived-esoteric, enlightened chain-despising, snob/sophisticate, pretentious, Upper-West-Side, Yelper protocol dictates that I'm supposed to hate this place. But I defy you to find me a better White Chocolate Mocha (if you can, I'm all ears)!!! My he-man friends mock me for drinking this stuff. I tell them that the White Chocolate Mocha is the coffee equivalent of getting a mixed drink occasionally as an alternative to beer. Sure, if I want a diner-style coffee, I prefer something hot, strong, and black (insert joke here). But sometimes a large (okay, Venti) Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha (usually later in the day as opposed to breakfast) hits the spot like a pinkie drink in a bar or at a restaurant might. Perhaps I doth protest too much. Maybe my manhood SHOULD be called into question. And maybe Starbucks IS taking over the world (I found them to be a welcome sip of home while I was in Japan). And maybe I should've just reviewed the original at Pike's Market in Seattle (which I HAVE visited). And maybe $5 for a latte is a bit pretentious. And maybe putting out the tip jar is a bold move. And maybe the place is frequently full of nauseatingly self-absorbed twenty-somethings. Or maybe I'm just overthinking this. You know what? I say this is a damn good drink with apologies to nobody. Now where did I put that book on interior decorating I was reading? read more

Went with Ally, this is her go to Starbucks =) . I had a cake pop, a rocky road cake pop! It was GREAT! & for only $1.50 plus tax (still under $2) it was EVEN BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Staff was friendly =) read more

I am actually surprised to say that this has got to be the best Starbucks I have been to in NYC. It's never impossibly crowded, and I think that has to do with the fact the staff are doing their jobs. You can be in and out in just a few minutes, or you can sit for a while and relax. As far as the coffee goes, it even tastes better after dealing with such friendly and competent staff. As for the space itself, it is refreshingly clean - something one finds at a Starbucks too rarely these days!!! I just wish every Starbucks was like this one! read more

Starbucks in general is a very expensive coffee beverage that is usually good, but not great. I mean they are everywhere... so if you want caffeine in some form beyond plain ole coffee you pay the premium for convenience and smile... unless Joe the Art of Coffee is close by... But this location has consistently served up sub par beverages compared to any other I have been to... which are alot from across the entire country. Tonight we ordered beverages and first they said they couldn't make the frozen one because they were closing in an 1 hour. After insisting we were provided beverages that were so horrible that I actually took the 15 minutes to return them and then another 15 minutes to walk all the way up to the 87th and Broadway location to get replacements. This was not the first bad experience at this location, but it is our last. To be fair we always get our poorly made beverages with good customer service, but that doesn't make up for a bad tasting product. read more

Very small place. Not enough space between seats. Super crowded. Btw, their turkey bacon sandwiches suck. read more

Close to the subway station, and very convenient. Enough numbers of seats and there is a restroom too if you need to use! :) A couple of outlets if you need to use your laptop or charge your phone. read more

This startbucks is probably the worst out of 4 of them within 3-4 blocks of each other. I have had employees multiple times give me what I did not order...and they did it on purpose. Most common: Order a Blonde Roast --they have to make it from scratch...they just gave me regular big ole batch Pike Place bc of laziness This morning - ordered a Medium roast and watched as dark roast was poured into the cup. I asked, and they said it was medium roast not knowing I saw. (was it an accident, or did you run out, or why not let me order something else.....etc) Come on. read more

The staff is very nice and friendly. I get the same Starbucks order daily, and keep it in the refrigerator over night to get me out of bed in the morning. This is the only location that always gets my mobile order ready, and has it waiting there for me before I come in. For this reason, I often walk past other locations solely to go into this one. There are 3 Starbuckses on Broadway in a 5 block radius, and because Starbuckses are all company owned (not a franchise), common sense says that one of these 3 will close. My hope is it isn't this one. read more

Slowest Starbucks ever, every time I request something they don't do it. So many times I've requested no sugar and it come full of sugar. I won't be coming to this location anymore. read more

Honestly, y'all. This one is not so hot. I am a raging Starbucks fanatic, but this one is always slow, a little dirty, and a few of the baristas are pretty rude. I used to come here all the time, but have to walk to another one a little farther down despite the inconvenience because I dislike this one so much. read more

It's amazing. Staff is incredible. Management is very present and the customer service is always on point.

Generally this location is excellent. However there is a very tall guy there who seems confused about how to make even the basic drinks, and responds to my attempts at friendliness with blank stares or outright hostile facial expressions. read more

The staff is super friendly and very quick. The place is well kept and clean. It's very convenient as it's close to the subway, the gym, and other local business. read more

i can't help but love green tea anything from starbucks. whether it's hot or cold, the drinks are delicious! that's for all locations in general. to comment on this specific location: bad. while i was sitting at the bar, enjoying my tea and people watching, a nicely dressed average looking man came and sat next to me. after about 5 minutes, he grabbed my purse out from under me (i always sit on my purse) and ran. the employees did nothing to help me out at all. neither did anyone else in the store even though one woman gave the police a full description of the man and said she saw that it was about to happen. ever since, i have never stepped foot at this location again. read more

Yes this is my go-to place for working/studying while enjoying my coffee (hence the Duchess of Starbucks). There are wall sockets everywhere and a lot of space and tables to work on. The only downside would be the baristas here. They aren't friendly at all read more

I got inside it was really hot and asked for a cup of iced water because i was so thirsty, and the cashier said to to me in order to get a cup of water you have to porches somethig, as a starbucks member and good customer i have the right to get sometimes a cup of water free, this cashier was so mean and rude as well, shame on him and shame on his manager, and on this starbucks store place read more

Bottom line: jovial staff, a huge communal table and lots of individual window seating make this a good spot for just drinks or study. Just beware rush hour near the 96 train stop! read more

Weird that I would give one starbucks a better review than another but I actually really liked this one! The set up was good, with a large table in the center and a window bar table along the side. This gave a good seating arrangement and allowed customers to be friendly with each other. The service was quick and friendly and since it is on the upper west side, not too crowded! An enjoyable starbucks experience :) read more
