Recently stopped in the Starbucks on Nassau, and I had a good experience. We were here for a recital concert and, after the drive down, needed a caffeine hit. The barista was cool when we ordered and our drinks were made well. My husband got a hot matcha latte and I went with one of the new fraps for a treat - Strawberry Matcha Strato Frappuccino. This is a good Starbucks especially if you're driving into Princeton and just need a pick-me-up. read more

Packed to the gills with exhausted students ordering their science experiment creations. Maybe they need a line for the unwashed slackers such as myself who just want a coffee black. Or maybe, I could just slum it down to Wawa for a do it yourself 24 ouncer and get change back from my Lincoln. Starbucks needs to figure themselves out. Two stars. read more

Staff is great. Food and drink as expected. Great location. But really, how hard to stick entrance and exit signs at ends of the corral?

I ordered a drink from the holiday menu on the Starbucks mobile app, but the staff told me it doesn't come with the red holiday cup -- even though it's clearly listed under the holiday season drinks. If it's not eligible, why put it on the holiday menu and mislead customers? I understand the store is busy, but that's not an excuse for poor attitude or unhelpful service. read more

The service is always good Customer service is always great. The young lady you helped us to evening was simply sweet and kind. I wish I remembered her name but overall the places are wonderful establishment. read more

Ordered a Venti caramel macchiato. With extra whip and extra caramel. Received a grande with no whip. Ask the girl at the counter what size this is. She said grande. I told her nicely ( I am very patient) that I ordered a venti. She quickly said she'll fix it. She did. Except there ended up being almost NO caramel and still no whip cream. It's about 6:45 am. Maybe two customers besides myself there. Early morning. Not a lot of people in at the moment. So why is this employee so flustered? It's a shame. Hopefully I never have to visit here again. read more

Friendly staff. Long lines so pack your patience. If you're coming here to get any work done, there's limited seating. If you're the type of person that needs it to be quiet when studying or working, then this is not it. There's loud music being played. Some of it is good and other songs are annoying. Pack your patience. read more

Starbucks - people sitting at tables in a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

I just came into the Starbucks in Princeton, right on the main strip, and asked for change for the meters. Julian was SO kind and made change for me even though I didn't make a purchase. I've been to this store before and have gotten coffee, which of course is great, but good service is everything and they have a gem in Julian. I'm now a loyal customer. read more

Slow boat to china. If you like endless waits, while sub-par minds scribble names on cups you can not read, holding coffee that is bland and tastes burnt - this is your place. Upnose female employees would not crack a smile if you tap-danced like Gosling in La La Land. This starbucks is too dark, small and the chessboard tiles give the illusion of having just wandered into a Lewis Carroll novel. Get a grip, baristas. In the mean time I will take friends to 'Small World Coffee' around the corner. Way tastier, colorful and welcoming! Rebel review: 2 low stars read more

Stop the presses! Headline: Princeton Starbucks Serves Very Good Coffee to a Reluctant Customer. Story: Late last Saturday afternoon, as the sun sat low on the western horizon, a visitor to Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ, in need of caffeine after walking around town for hours, stopped in to the Starbucks on Nassau Street, in the heart of this historic college town. Expecting the normally burnt java beans to find their way into his cup, Jerry was pleasantly surprised to find the barista opening a fresh bag of Ethiopian beans, grinding them and doing a pour over through their Clover machine. It took a little time for the water to run its course, but the result was a superior cup of Joe - mellow and smooth, without acidity and dry, with a softer, almost walnut flavor with a hint of chocolate and currant. This was an amazing coffee, and our protagonist wondered if it could ever be repeated in any other Starbucks café. To be safe, he purchased a bag of beans for use at home. The store itself was crowded with students camped at tables for study, and tourists looking to prolong an excellent sunny day in January. No place to sit, but Jerry was buying "to go," and took his leave of the shop as soon as the proper amount of whole milk was poured into the cup to balance the anticipated harshness. When he discovered the taste was simply exceptional, and the milk wasn't really needed, he made a mental note to skip the cow juice when brewing at home. At long last a Starbucks with coffee deserving of accolades. read more

Really bad customer experience today. I had never been in this store and the layout is confusing, I waited in the wrong place while people went in front of me until I figured it out--staff just watched and laughed. I tried to order a drink, they are out of all dairy alternatives except coconut milk. That's okay, I will just get hot chocolate. I am overcharged for a different drink, she adjusts it, and then it's okay. After I pay, as I am waiting for my drink, I hear the barista say "Who would even order a plain hot chocolate? How do you make this?". She then had to remake it because of her own error. Disappointed that there wasn't a lot of compassion/kindness--I am not a frequent Starbucks goer, and this store is clearly only for people who here all the time. read more

store was extraordinarily clean. Service was speedy. Nothing special, just your ordinary Starbucks read more

Terrible service and altitude. They wrote a very aggressive and ridiculous sentence called "No one likes you" on my hot chocolate cup. Initially when I got the beverage I did not see it since it was written in the back, when I look at the cup, I felt extremely angry and unacceptable, such types of discrimination should not happen everywhere. read more

Starbucks - Very "beautiful" words - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

Great Starbucks location located in Princeton. I visited Starbucks for a meeting and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of seating this location had. It even had booths, which was perfect for my meeting. My unsweetened iced green tea was delicious as well. read more

This is one of a small handful of places in downtown Princeton to grab coffee, so it can get pretty crowded. During the school year, students camp out over laptops at just about every hour of the day, although at night it's usually a bit quieter. I don't even try coming on weekends, when students mix with the tourist crowd. I come here every once in a while, when I'm craving a sugary drink and don't necessarily need a place to sit. The seating area is oddly split into a front section with windows onto the street and a back section that's a bit more cave-like, with some armchairs tossed in with the tables. Drinks are pretty standard, and the people working here are pleasant -- kudos to them, given the traffic. I very much prefer Rojo's or Small World for drinks, or Cafe Vienna for a quieter space. But hey, when there's not much choice around, at least SB is another option. read more

This is actually one of my favorite starbucks in Princeton University! :) It's a bit small than the usual starbucks but more of a student chill relax mode vibe haha! Sometimes, i like to come here after a run for a lemonade or tea! Or i'll grab my kindle and chill in the back with my drink! read more

Things to note: - It has very little seating. There are only a couple of normal sized tables in the front. There's a bar area facing Nassau St that can seat maybe 2-4 people. There are also four sofas and a couple of REALLY SMALL tables in the back. - They are also rather slow when it comes to serving people. We really need more than one Starbucks here. It's always Prime Time. - The restrooms are large and have rather interesting hand dryers! - They are literally the sweetest and really talkative and friendly :) read more

This has to be the most annoying starbucks. Working locally, the online ordering system is something i rely on so i can grab my coffee right before work. This location CONSTANTLY shuts off their online ordering. If you try to order in store, it can take over 20 minutes to get a simple coffee. Also, they like to close as early as 2 pm on most days and only recently extended it back to normal hours. This place needs new management and to not have the option to turn off online ordering. They are losing a lot of business this way and the locals are starting to seek coffee elsewhere. read more

Great people. It can be busy at times. I caution everyone that this is not the Starbucks to go to if it's your first time ordering from a menu of over 300 drinks. read more

Starbucks - Lunch with wifey at Starbucks I'm Princeton NJ. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

i you like slow service come here. the baristas use the counter to kibbutz with each other and regulars. this is okay when then are busy. this is not the case at 830 am. seriously, starbucks needs to audit this store. oh yes, it's pretty unclean, with tables unwashed and patrons sleeping on them. if you like over heated. this is heaven. if you like loud, awful music, you scored. maybe if they turned it down, you could converse like normal people. read more

I enjoyed my lunch. Princeton is beautiful! I had a good time and felt peaceful at this Starbucks. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

This place is very crowded with students hogging the tables doing work. I noticed that the line dissipates after quarter to the hour and picks up again quarter after. Must be students getting their caffeine fix after class and then heading off to class. The bathrooms here are extremely dirty! There are no toilet tissues, paper towels, or electric hand dryers! The drinks here are standard and employees are friendly. Ordered a coffee and tea, and I have no complaints with them. read more

They put so much sugar in their drinks they're undrinkable - I've had to throw the last few away.

The line is long and they took forever making the coffee. Someone actually grabbed my drink so I had to wait for the drink to be remake. Not happy. read more

Always making my coffee amazing! Grande eggnog latte extra hot !!! Every time my latte is perfect and everyone is so friendly !! I get Starbucks at another location on my Way to work and it never is as good as Princeton in Mercer mall !!!! read more

"In a Pinch" It's 5:10 pm on a Monday, hardly rush hour time for a coffee shop and today is no exception. There is a young kid in line in front of me waiting on a strawberry frozen drink, there's me, and that's it for the line. No rush and yet the server chose to bend over and quickly grab the whipped cream dispenser from the rectangular busboy pan on the floor, half full of dirty dishes, and quickly use it and toss it back in. Her efficiency is noted, and in a rush I may have overlooked her choice. I manage to find myself trusting her judgement somehow because I can't handle the alternative. Especially at a Starbucks. But how hard would it have been to avoid the dirty dish pan on the floor and simple fetch a freshly prepared can? I'm glad I didn't need anything else in my 6 shot Americano. Which by the way was made exactly to perfection and most certainly worth the trip. read more

Who needs a Starbucks review? Anyways, between HYPs' starbucks, I rank this last (EVEN THOUGH SCHOOL-WISE, PRINCETON IS #1) The space is a little cramped, but its always kinda cozy. I always buy a medium coffee and ask for a large cup of ice - it makes roughly 1.5 large ice coffees per cup of medium hot coffee #protips. Also they used to have board games at the back of the store, but pieces have been disappearing and i think it is no longer there. Good times playing yahtzee with my international friend who came to visit the uni Dark roast only roast read more

I NEVER thought I'd see the day when I gave my beloved Starbucks a bad review... but here goes. This location is a hot mess! Every time I stop in there is a crowd of customers standing around in a disorganized mob. The staff always seems disconnected, distracted, and troubled by customer requests. I went in this weekend and they were out of bananas. Two staffers rudely barked this at the girl in front of me, who was attempting to order a smoothie. They didn't even try to suggest something else or help her in any way. Most baristas would! In addition, its messy and in need of an update. A sad memember of the Starbucks family in such a great location. read more

Great location to sit back and relax or grab a coffee on the go. Across the street from Princeton University. More laid back compared to Small World. It's Starbucks...well run, clean and consistent. read more

Came here on a Sunday am because there was no room in Small World and I'm nearing the 30 visits required to get a Starbucks Gold card (as well as because I received quite a bit of Sbux gift cards for Xmas since my caffeine addiction is well known amongst friends). First piece of advice...don't come here on a Sunday morn. Barely any seats to be found, and I had to share the area near the window entrance (which is awesome for those who enjoy people watching, but not so much when you're trying to get work done). Also, there was a line 12-people deep when I get there. It's great that Princeton offers free street parking til 1 pm on Sundays, but trying to find a place to sit at any coffee shop in the area is horrendous prior. It's too bad Halo Pub didn't have free wi-fi, but I digress. Added a star because this location does offer free wi-fi, but definitely not my choice for either coffee nor work environment. That's why I left to go to the Princeton Public Library when they opened at 1. read more

Pros- Clover Machine and Reserve series coffees=delicious way to spend $3-5 on a cup of coffee (drives my wife nuts!). Decent seating. Gold Card rewards keep me sucked in. Cons- Long lines, annoying Princeton undergrads whining about how hard it is being rich and privileged (sob), weekend mobs. It's a Starbucks, you know what to expect. This location stands out because of the Clover machine. read more

I come here all the time when I'm in Princeton. They have a pretty solid amount of seating with fairly good wi-fi. They take credit cards and Starbucks cards unlike many coffee places in Princeton that only take cash. Last time I was here they made an announcement that they ran out of ice. The man said it very rudely to the customers and that was a bit of a turn-off for me. So food and drinks are great just like any other Starbucks, and service isn't the friendliest. read more

This Starbucks is pretty good, as far Starbucks go. The employees are so friendly! And I found my new favorite drink, vanilla sweet cream cold brew. read more

Nothing but good things to say about this location. I used to come here in the mornings (around 7:30am prime time). The baristas were very nice. They really seemed like they cared about the customers. And being a regular, they knew my name - I appreciated that immensely. The wait is usually not bad. There are times when the lines a bit long (you can tell it's the newbie line up). At least the wait isn't atrocious... just a nuisance. Lattes taste great. I haven't had a bitter tasting crafted drink yet from the Princeton store. Clean interior. Very cozy around the back since it's a bit dim. One thing: Corporate needs to bring La Boulange here. In that case, I might drive out of my way. read more

A prime location for this Starbucks: it has always been so crowded we always get the coffee to go. I think their coffees were over-priced, but my hubby loved them...So, we have been going to Starbucks locations often. The restrooms were clean. We have been parking on the street or at the affordable public parking nearby. read more

This Starbucks is all around awful. The desks are full of students who will camp out for a a good 2-3 hours studying whilst they're are families and people who genuinely want to sit down to drink coffee or eat, but can't. Aside from that, the service is terrible. And terribly slow. I had to wait to give the barista my order because she was to busy having a conversation with another employee. The baristas are slow and loudly speaking which is irritating. I ordered a coffee that tasted really bad because the barista carelessly put way to much syrup in it. Couldn't drink it. Would recommend both of the locations in Lawrence, not this one. read more

The lines are usually long. I've had them forget my order 2 times. Parking is a pain unless ur on foot or plan to be in Princeton for a while. It's a nice atmosphere, but if ur strapped for time just go to a different location. read more

Love this location! Its always clean and always has great service. The drinks are always wonderful as well. I will sometimes come out of my way to come to this location to sit and read or work on some homework. Check it out if you need a quick coffee place and don't wanna pay the steeper prices at Small World Coffee down the street (not a jab a Small World, love that place too!) Do hot guys work here? Sometimes! read more

Service has gotten a lot better but it is still very cramped in terms of seating. The baristas were very fiendly and efficient and the bakery case was stocked with fresh asiago eveything bagels, which tend to run out elsewhere. read more
