Starbucks - Iced Ube Coconut Macchiato - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Take the dumb af pride flag down. Slow service. No one says hi. Everyone looks miserable. Do better.

This Starbucks restaurant is located near the Carnegie Mellon University campus. The menu lists drinks (coffees, teas, refreshers, hot chocolate, juices, milks, etc.) and foods (breakfast sandwiches, baked goods, lunch pockets, cheese-fruit boxes, etc.). I am not a coffee drinker, but I like that this Starbucks is open from 6 AM to the evening and has indoor seating, so I can eat breakfast here before starting the rest of my day. During my recent visit, two employees promptly and courteously served me. My apple croissant, strawberry-cream cake pop, and strawberry-matcha frappuccino cost a total of $13 plus tip, and they tasted pretty good. read more

See all

Not sure why there are so many negative reviews of this location. It's a Starbucks. Drinks are good, food is good. This location even gets the food warmed all the way through, which is nice. This location is sandwiched in between Pitt and CMU's campuses, so it gets pretty busy. As you would expect, it's the worst in the morning and around lunch time when students and professors are looking to get a quick bite/caffeine fix. They also get a rush between 2 and 3 when Central Catholic and Oakland Catholic let out. But that's all to be expected. However, the staff is friendly. I have only ever been nice to them, so maybe they're mean if you're mean to them. I couldn't say. But they always have a nice word for you. Orders are done promptly within a minute or so of the time estimated on the app. Cool. All I can say is the poor person working the Frappuccino machine is always slammed. Props to them for holding it down. read more

I was in the area and decided I needed a cafeine fix. I think it was a mistake coming to this location. As it is near the colleges it was super busy. The baristas where very fast and friendly and worked thru all the customers. However as it was so busy it did take a while. I got a venti latte. It was made perfectly and i was pretty happy about that. If you have to go to this location I suggest you do it only at an off-peak time. Parking is also a chore at this location so be prepared to circle the block. As there are so many other Starbucks I would suggest going to another unless you have to be in the area or the store is empty which is unlikely. read more

I stopped by for my usual I thought try it here since has not here been. The Barista was rude. Had ask my order 3 times. She put in for mocha I ask for Cafe Latte with soy milk and some hazel drizzle. I had correct her. She can't hear me with mask on. Which I get it so I repeat. I had repeated twice. She finally got in right. Don't want to get the Barista in trouble but Poor service. To my surprise Star bucks usually great service. Maybe it's near campus and she is tired. She act like don't care. Coffe was good but by now. I am so annoyed. Sorry no tip. read more

Starbucks - a cup of coffee with a brown wrapper - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Your typical Starbucks as most have mentioned. This one is closer to the Carnegie Mellon Campus so you'll most likely see more CMU students than Pitts students. There are two other Starbucks locations on Pitt's campus not including the hospital Starbucks. There's a nice large work table in the middle of the space (which is rather small) with outlets in the middle. Perfect table for group work. I recently went here with a friend while both schools (CMU and Pitt) are on break so there was lots of open tables. However, for some reason my friend's Starbucks refresher took about 10min. He already had eaten half of his breakfast sandwich and I had finished my egg bites and got my latte long before that. The staff is friendly and outgoing. The space looked to be clean. The extra walk seemed worth it today. read more

I mostly enjoy this location but saw something today that made me feel a little upset. At the counter was someone who was clearly blind and was taking longer to check out and leave the counter. The girl behind the register made a clearly exacerbated face and the girl next to the man started to laugh. Was the extra minute that man stood there really that much of a stressor? Was giving that man the dignity to order and wrap up without the added, and clearly, visible faces too much to ask for? Even if he couldn't see what you did, I could, and that was unacceptable. You are a customer service location. Do better. read more

I order from this Starbucks literally every day. Here's a tip, mobile order or you'll never get your coffee. Every CMU/Pitt/catholic high school student is chilling in there drinking coffee all day long. They always get my order right but I don't think the lobby/seating area is the most orderly I've ever seen. read more

i waited 15 minutes for my drink and when i kindly asked they inconsiderately and sarcastically responded to me and i will never come here again. i will sue. read more

one of my favorite starbucks locations!!!! super quick service and friendly staff!! my order is always delicious. the bathroom is always clean too read more

Great location to walk from CMU. Also love that they played exclusively Taylor Swift today to celebrate her Red (Taylor's Version)!!

Pretty standard Starbucks with the usual drinks and drink quality. As it is right next to Carnegie Mellon and near Pitt campus they are good at getting the drinks out fast but it is always packed! Be prepared to wait for your drink and not have a place to sit. While they managed to shove as many seats as possible in this locations - tables and a long bar at the front- it still gets packed with students at all hours and get get pretty loud too. read more

I like this Starbucks because of its proximity to campus. Staffs are alright. I found a piece of rubber in my Latte today and I'm not sure if it's their holiday special. Idk if I will ever visit again. read more

I was just wondering why the sign says 9p.m closing and the doors were locked at 8:09 p.m. There is no reason to close an hour early to clean up the closing time doesn't mean the time to leave! read more

It's just like every other Starbucks everywhere. This used to be a grocery store. What I do like about this location is that if you get a seat right near the window you can access CMU's wifi. :) read more

I'm not sure how to rate a Starbucks. They all seem similar & you don't run into too many grouchy baristas. I head here for a White Chocolate Mocha Expresso & that's about it. I actually agree with the person who mentioned starbucks coffee seems burnt & bitter. The expressos are delish though. For a tiny corner shop, you can fit a good amount of people here. There are a few long tables in the middle & multiple 2-seater tables along the walls. It was still pretty packed on Saturday night. Grinds my gears though when someone is working away on their laptop with Chinese takeout next to them & didn't spend one penny on starbucks to take over an entire table. Hm, free wifi problems. read more

Hey, it's Starbucks, what can I say? Decent location - not too big, not too small. Friendly service in my experience. I'm surprised this location was missing from yelp! read more

This location is perfectly fine for a Starbucks. This place is hopping during weekday work and school hours, but the staff are super efficient and friendly and up to the challenge of completing your order in a timely manner. Regardless of what shift you catch the crew on, your favorite specialty drink will be made consistently each time. On the rare occasions that my drinks have come up not-so-consistent, I've been given a replacement with no questions asked by the professional and personable morning manager. The shop has seating for about 20 and is about the same size as your average in-the-city Starbucks. The bakery case is stocked with the usual suspects that you find at even the larger Starbucks--sweet breakfast breads, bagels, breakfast sandwiches, wraps, scones, muffins, and cookies. If you are looking to purchase a Starbucks gift, they keep about half of the stock of mugs and other coffee accouterments as the larger of their shops. read more

The workers are super friendly and efficient, I'm going to be coming here often over the next few weeks and I know it'll be just as good every time. read more

I love this Starbucks. It is so clean & everyone is friendly. I come here at least 3 times per week & I get the best customer service. The people here are really caring (or at least doing a superb job acting like it!) & detail-oriented. I get a lot of season specialty drinks & they are so damn good every single time. I am an addict. I look forward to starting my morning off with the Starbucks on Forbes & Craig just because read more

Just your typical Starbucks. Since it's so close to CMU campus, I always find that it's packed with people and super busy. I HIGHLY recommend doing mobile order to save time. read more

I go here pretty often. The staff is super friendly, and they get to know you and your order, which is great. The coffee is starbucks coffee... It's always the same. read more

I feel a cookie cutter establishment like this really shouldn't get more than four stars, but honestly, that's probably the only thing holding me back. I like Starbucks precisely because I know I'm going to get the same drink no matter which location I'm at. This particular location is clean, the employees are courteous and friendly, and in all the time I've been going there I've only had two drinks that didn't pass muster. read more

A reliable Starbucks experience. Quick, friendly service and great coffee. Busy location with ample seating.

A friend said "They've got this Clover machine, try it out," so in an effort to be impartial, I did. Not good. A Clover's nice, but it can't fix over-roasted beans. I got an Ethiopia Yirgacheffe that tasted like smoky mud. I mean, it's Starbucks, what did I expect, but this deserves extra-low scores for giving fancy coffee a bad name. If you're in the area on weekdays and looking for coffee, go over to CMU's branch of Tazza D'Oro (in the big blocky black Gates building, 3rd floor). read more

This is the worst Starbucks I've ever been to. To begin with they always put too much ice and today they took my order wrong, which I didn't realize until I received my drink. Then when I went back to ask to have it changed the barista was very rude and did not offer to change it and claimed that it was what I ordered even though I specified that I ordered something else. The customer service was extremely poor and I am very disappointed. read more

I have never written a review for Starbucks before , as they are usually impeccable in their service. This one is a bit different. It maybe because they receive a lot of crowd from re surrounding universities , museums or businesses , but the people who take orders as well are serve the drinks are usually rude and impolite. They Are usually impatient when we are trying to decide on something or have a double mind about ordering something. Would only go there if it is the only cafe open then! read more

Starbuck's at the corner of Craig and Forbes is a prime University location making it a nice place to meet during off peak hours. However, because of its close proximity to uni's, high schools, museums, it is very busy in mornings, lunch and after high schools let out. This makes for longer lines and waits and I'd just rather go elsewhere. A plus is that it has wireless and you can pick up CMU's wireless. Staff is friendly. I agree with a prior reviewer that Kiva Han is missed. This area cries for a coffee shop that is more welcoming and less cookie cutter chain coffee. read more

I come to this Starbucks purely because of it's convenient location for meeting people. It's a Starbucks. Does what it says! Staff are friendly, which is a plus. read more

Best cold coffee collection ever!

Location Location Location, It is crazy important in the restaurant business. This is a beautiful location, right in the culture district. Loved it seating outside to watch the traffic, and seeing pits burgh. First time visiting this town, and wow loved having a starbucks drink and being able to soak in the town. read more

This particular Starbucks can get quite busy thanks to the students from two different schools (Pitt and CMU). The service doesn't tend to suffer, and the staff is very experienced, just don't count on getting a seat! read more

Warning: bitter review to follow. I have nothing nice to say about this Starbucks in Oakland. Notice: I DO NOT hate Starbucks stores in general. In fact, I actually think their coffee is great- better than a lot of local coffees, in fact. However, this Starbucks in particular can bite the dust for all I care. From speaking with a couple small business owners from around the neighborhood, this place single handedly took out my FAVORITE coffee shop in the city right across the street, Kiva Han (now replaced by a bagel place). Furthermore, this particular store in my subjective opinion has zero character, built very open without a bunch of sitting room and littered with impersonal staff. I understand that they have to crank orders out due to the high-turnover of customers during peak hours, but I have no desire to visit there again for the reasons listed above. If one of those coffee shops had to go out of business, I would have rather it be "The Man." read more

S'bucks is s'bucks. The good thing about this one was lots of tables (considering the location) and friendly staff. Wifi is normally good but was spotty when I was there. read more

Not my favorite coffee chain by any means. Is it just me or do all Starbuck coffees taste burnt and bitter? No matter how trendy, cool and upscale their establishments are I can't get around the yicky tasting bitterness of Staryucks regular coffees. Talk about over roasting a bean...Maybe something has changed with their regular coffee but I have not drank it in about a year. And I am not one for soy caramel latte foofy stuff but I am sure with all the sugar in those types of drinks they are delicious but go to a cash machine first ($$). Still I'll give the establishment tres estrellas (star in espanol) for the fact that their espresso is acceptable and doesn't taste half as bad as the regular coffee bean. read more

I found the employees to be very friendly and hard working. When I arrived there were more than fifteen people in line ahead of me. Yet, the employees worked so quickly that I was out of there in ten minutes! (it was a good thing, because I had to be at work straight away!) read more

The employees are nice. This is a pretty much a routine Starbucks. I typically stick with a vanilla iced coffee. Standard, but refreshing in the heat. read more

Fast service and the staff is always friendly and polite! Best Starbucks in the area!

Very great service best frappichinos ever very friendly people I recommend this for everyone I give it 2 thumbs up
