I've been to hundreds of Starbucks locations and this one stood out in a good way. Service was quick and friendly. The drinks and food were well made. I like the new horchata oatmilk espresso. But the decor and comfort was what stood out. This location is big. I sat on a comfortable leather chair while my wife and daughter grabbed a coach. It was almost like a time machine to the early 2000s when they liked you staying a long time in the store. Good stuff. read more

Needed an afternoon pick me up that's easy to hop on/off 526 and had some gift cards to use up so to Starbucks I headed! I was blown away by the remodeled interior!! It's been a minute since I've been to this location and they shared it took 3 months to make the upgrades which to me sounds super fast! The crew welcomed me and was patient with my decision making..I got the iced shaken oat milk horchata and it was really delicious! Plus the ice they use elevates the drink itself! There's an electronic screen board that updates the status of your drink order so there's no confusion when your drink is ready plus it's alphabetized on the counter according to last name. I haven't gone to Starbucks in awhile but this location surely took care of my caffeine fix in an efficient manner that makes me wanna return again sooner! read more

Starbucks - Newly remodeled! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

Wow! What a wonderful upgrade, spacious, clean, comfortable place to wait before your flight. Great service, excellent food and drinks.

Went through to drive through this morning during prime time and the line moved so quickly. I would say this line moved a lot faster than the two other locations I've been to lately. The staff that handled my order was very polite as well. My pumpkin spice latte came out perfect. Not a single complaint. It satisfied the pumpkin spice void I've had since the end of last season. My mini goldendoodle was also happy with her service. She got a pup cup that she devoured quickly and the cup of ice water put a smile to her face and quenched her thirst. If I'm in a hurry, I know I can come here for a quick fix. read more

20 minutes to get a mobile order. Not sure what is going on. Barista needs to work customer service

Back to being garbage again. The service fluctuates so much at this place which leads me to believe the management must be crap if they can't keep anyone worth a damn. read more

I don't drink coffee, but I like that there are other hot drink choices at Starbucks. This location near Tanger Outlet always has a long line in the drive-thru, but they typically move quickly when I stop. I ordered a Venti Caramel Apple Spice no whipped cream, which is steamed apple juice with cinnamon syrup, whipped cream and a Caramel drizzle. If you love or like Apple Juice you'll love this. It's like hot Apple Cider. A nice comfort drink. read more

10 baristas/employees Running around efficiently with positive can do attitudes. Even with one broken espresso machine. They were keeping reasonably up with the morning rush. The dark coffee was rich The espresso had crema When creating reviews, it is easy to simply look at what is inadequate. Oh geez. What might my complaining be....! I wish there had been a roaming golden retriever looking to get petted by every customer. read more

This location is about as busy as it gets, but they still get the job done! The drive-thru line was a mile long and inside was also full and yet I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I placed my order for an iced coffee and the barista was happy to help. The pick up area for coffee was almost overflowing from all of the mobile orders and the noise inside was a steady hum of conversation. It was hectic but also gave off an easygoing vibe. It was peaceful enough for some to have their laptops open and working. My coffee came out in short order with no issues and I really appreciated that. read more

Starbucks - Bar area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

This Starbucks location is such a convenient spot to visit. Prime location by the North Charleston Coliseum. It's easy access to get to and I enjoy how friendly the staff is. I love grabbing an Irish cream cold brew or a hot americano and they are all too happy to oblige. It's always feels warm and inviting inside and in drive thru. Starbucks never miss so a forever customer is what I will be. read more

This is a standard Starbucks, so you know what you're getting- a typical Starbucks experience. This Starbucks has a drive-thru as well as a special area for pickup when you order through the app, which I highly recommend. It is impossible to turn in against traffic here, and located on International Blvd. and across from the convention center, there's a TON of traffic. This location seems to stay busy all the time but has plenty of parking and indoor and outdoor seating. Each time I've been here, the staff have been nice enough and my order has been correct, which is all I can ask. read more

I found myself over in this area a few mornings over a couple weeks and was often looking for a coffee. Options are limited near the outlets so I ended up at Starbucks a few times. The coffee and snacks like egg bites are what you expect everywhere. I do have to say that the drive thru is quite speedy and friendly. I've gone through a couple times and even at peak drive-thru times, I've been in and out in no time. read more

Starbucks - Vanilla cold brew with sweet cream foam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

Never gets an order wrong, fast, and most of all so friendly! The staff here actually greets you. Greets everyone that comes in! Also it looks like this store is well staffed? Maybe that's why the drinks come out on time? If only I lived close to a Starbucks like this. One small note though - they don't carry the Charleston mug cups! I'm surprised since it's surrounded by hotels and close to an airport - don't there get a lot of travelers? read more

After they remodeled this store, it went downhill. It was small to begin with and now it is just cramped. The inside now has a massive counter across the entire store, only a couple tables and one or two lounge chairs. If you go inside to order, be prepared to say excuse me about five thousand times. The people standing and waiting for their drink are all crowded around the counter, right by the door. Not their fault, but it is incredibly frustrating. The drive thru takes forever and if there is a long line in it, it blocks one of the entrances to that shopping building area and sometimes you get stuck just waiting to get in or out. The parking lot is very small, so people opt to use the DT but it just creates more chaos. They always seem to be out of things. Food, Drinks (syrups, milks, toppings, etc). What I do order always tastes good, but it's just not ideal for trying to grab some caffeine quickly in the morning. Or afternoon. Sometimes evenings. It's always just a mess over there. read more

This location is easy access off the main road with ample parking lot if you choose to go inside. You should expect the typical Starbucks experience at this location. The bonus to this location is they offer Nitro Cold Brew, not all stores have this available. A recent downside, the mobile app is no loner allowing this location to order ahead for pickup with is inconvenient during busy times. In the AM when most people stop on the way to work this location and have a long line. There is a special area for pickup you can use for parking but at this time you cant order ahead on the app, I hope they bring this option back. Make sure you exit back to the stoplight unless going down International Blvd towards the Airport. Its right turn only and ALWAYS use the light at lunchtime or you will never get out of the parking lot. My orders have always been correct and staff friendly. read more

I am literally only writing this review for one of the managers that works there. I go to this Starbucks at least once a week as it is by my office, and every single time there is the same manager (Chanee I think on her apron) yelling at the baristas, belittling them, and making their lives harder. As a former service industry employee, it is very disheartening to see people being treated this way especially in front of the customers. read more

Had the cashier give me a cold drink recommendation and it was amazing. A strawberry type tea drink. They have a great staff here

Judging from the outside, I cringed thinking about the inside as people and lines and stuff are not the optimum way to begin my day. Avoiding the cars lined up one by one on the drive thru, ready to launch their MochaFrappaCappi high on to International Blvd like distressed escape pods departing USS Enterprise Federation Starship D - E. There was some sleazy cheese sitting at the middle table, looking new and low numbered on the homeless scale, I couldn't determine where he was along the process. Whether to tell him to "get it together" or flip him a little silver piece, so I went with a smile as not to offend at this week hour, I'll offend plenty soon enough. The dark roast didn't deliver the jump start I'd come to know, with weeks of no dirt, mud, jitter juice, cuppa, java -- nada. And a Very Happy Singles Awareness Day to all my non-tied down brethren and sisterens out there!! read more

They do make my drinks well, but when the customer service isn't that great. I always order ahead with the mobile app. Lately when I arrive to pick up my mobile order, no one greets me even though I'm obviously standing there waiting for a call ahead. I have to wave to get their attention. Once I garner their attention, they are friendly, but it makes me not want to visit this location. I know it's a hassle for everyone since covid but since they decided to keep the mobile orders behind the counter, they should at least somewhat monitor. I was tempted to just go grab it at one point, but I decided to wait it out. But they did make my drink right. read more

Everyone knows what Starbucks is about, So this review solely about the MAGICAL UNICORN Frappuccino! Get it before, it's gone! Then Snapchat story it to your friends to make them jelly... Beautiful eye-candy drink that tastes sweet in spots and sour in others (I didn't stir it up) Think cotton candy and sweet tarts candy. This location has a nice drive-thru too, which I used since I was too chicken to order it inside in front of others...Next time I'll just go in and admit I'm super basic. read more

Starbucks - Unicorn Frappuccino, limited time only 5 days... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

Subtotal was 4.35, but total price was 5.95$. How is tax on 4.35$, $1.60$?! Then I watched the barista make the drink wrong, asked about whether it was done correctly, and the barista lied! It's packed all the time and they don't care if they do a good a job because they have so much business due to the location and demand. The bathrooms are bad too. and although the staff DOES work quickly (but not accurately and honestly) everything takes FOREVER. What a waste of time and money, And no, I don't want to tip 2$ on an already overpriced drink, with a mysteriously high 37% tax rate. Because it looks like you already tipped yourself and that is why you didn't offer or give me my receipt. read more

Be prepared to wait over 30 mins -- you arrive at the window and they don't have your one drink ready, be prepared to wait another 10 mins before they provide you with your drink. I wouldn't recommend if you are trying to get quick Starbucks service! read more

I try to stay positive in my reviews but this location never gets my order right. If it weren't the only other drive thru in town I probably would stop going. All the Starbucks in town get my order perfectly especially in S Windermere and the one in B@N in West Ashley. So I know it is possible. I gave five stars because they are friendly and convenient. read more

The Starbucks on International Boulevard in North Charleston is a well managed Starbucks location that does everything you want and expect from a Starbucks. The staff here is very efficient and works very hard to get your order ready quickly and correctly. This is a easy location to access and get in and out when you need Starbucks and are on the move. read more

I have to give mad props to this Starbucks team for keeping their composure and handling the massive amount of business that came through their store at a recent conference. Being the closest store to the convention center [and with virtually no coffee service at the convention center...that's a missed opportunity...], they took the brunt of the 6,200 people that were attending the Rise Business event. Despite the absolute chaos [I'm talking dozens of pre-ordered drinks on the hand-off, 50 people in line, and a drive thru jam packed], the attitude and service was killer. I have to give shout-outs specifically to Davante and Lexie. They both were rolling through the punches and embraced the chaos. Instead of keeping their heads down and rolling eyes like so many other businesses I experienced locally, they engaged us in conversation and had a light-hearted approach. Lexie worked every day of the conference and even a the peaks of business was cool as a cucumber. Girl, I've been there and that is HARD. Mad props to you. The level of business shockingly did not affect the quality of my drinks at all. My nitro cold brew was great, and my lattes were wonderful. The first couple of days their case was almost completely empty, and so my only recommendation would be to have advanced planning for large events like this. But, after talking to a few employees, it sounded like they only had a 1-2 heads up about the conference. I was a partner for 7 years and knowing the schedules of local events is imperative. It is my understanding there was a recent change over in management. Very difficult to not have a manager and be blindsided by an event like this. Whoever is responsible for giving appropriate kudos - the entire team killed it. But specifically Davante and Lexie... Please make sure they know how much they were appreciated by not only me but hundreds of others who passed through those doors. read more

We go to Starbucks all the time! It's great for a quick coffee craving. But sometimes the staff get lazy and do drinks a bit differently, affecting the taste. I always tip the employees who aren't lazy. the food and drinks are always quick. The items are straightforward and all the items have images to show what you'll get! But one of the main problems I have is that the boxes with food items are horrible quality! One time I ordered a pb&j box and the pb&j was folded and covered in the jelly, which didn't even act like jelly! But overall, a great place, friendly staff, quick ordering, and lots of customization options. read more

If I could leave zero I would. Took 30 minutes to get two coffees from the drive through. Fully staffed Starbucks. You would think that two vanilla lattes would be made in the 30 minutes it took to order and pull through. Only 4 cars ahead of us. So they severed about 8 coffees in 30 minutes. No apologies for the wait. If we could have gotten out of line we would have. read more

The app was down yet again today. I still received amazing service and my coffee was actually ready faster than usual. The customer service at this location is pretty great most of the time. Compared with other Starbucks in the area, I would absolutely choose this one over any other. read more

Not super happy with this location lately. And customer service is not at its best, especially through the drive-through. I've noticed that they act more like our a burden than a paying customer, which is rather upsetting, because when my daughters and I are out shopping when we want that Starbucks experience With Bella lately, but this is not the one to go to. read more

Came into town for a conference and was happy a coffee place was within walking distance. Got there at 7:00 am and it was apparent that this location was grossly unprepared for the morning rush. 40-minute wait time get to the counter and there were 15 cars in line outside. More people were asking for refunds than waiting for coffee. If you're in a hurry: don't bother. read more

Cold bakery item. :( Other locations always warm up breads. Tip: At least ask the customer...

This Starbucks is in a good location near Tanger Outlet in North Charleston. Easy to park here since in a separate Plaza near Tanger and it is a Drive-Thru location. Drinks are always consistent at this location. Staff is very helpful and courteous to the customers. This location is always clean. Keep it up!! read more

It's a Starbucks...but it's fairly new and they keep it nice and clean. You know what you're getting in the drinks so nothing to say there. They are normally pretty busy, especially around lunch. I have never seen the drive thru back up very much and they get through it pretty quick but I also have never been in the morning. They did give me someone else's drink the other day in the drive thru...just walked inside and they got me the right drink no questions asked. read more

With the $75 Espresso Tumbler we obtained from Christmas, this was one of the many Starbucks we frequented. During January, we were allowed to come and go as we wished and order as many Espresso drinks using our re-fillable Tumbler. Overall, we probably tried every Espresso drink on the menu, from Lattes, Café Mochas to Caramel Macchiato. We like them all. Service: This one was probably one of the nicer ones in the area as far as baristas is concern. They were always friendly and even washed our Tumbler during our many trips during endless free refillable month of January. The barista there told us to come back as many times during the day as well. Downfall: The only disadvantage of this location is the wait times in the drive through. Sometimes it's slow, but most of the time they go through pretty quickly. read more

I ordered my usual iced vanilla latte and it was delicious as usual! I went to the drive through and the wait wasn't very long at all. When I arrived at the window the presenter was very nice and we had a small conversation. It was a really pleasant experience! I drove away with a smile on my face! read more

This Starbucks knows how to work. It is routinely busy in the morning and they crank out the drinks in an efficient manner. The overall service is friendly with standard greets, thanks and more. It's nice to see the location working with a proper number of staff too. Good location with outdoor seating, but the interior could be bigger for the customer traffic. This location also gas a drive thru, which is very busy. Overall a good Starbucks offering all your coffee desires and more, with fast, steady service. read more
