OK firstly, please don't judge simply because this is the first time I have ever been to Starbucks anywhere, because it is. Still, I've always been kinda interested if only because of its popularity with work colleagues. We recently came here to use up gift cards and meet up with friends, and were pleasantly surprised. I didn't know they had drive thru of that they have way more parking spaces than you see while casually driving past. The store is inviting and kinda perfect for hanging out. We interacted with a few staff and while friendliness varied, they were generally helpful and friendly. I'm not a coffee drinker so we picked up a few bites: the bacon gruyere egg bites were definitely the highlight and they were incredibly tender, well seasoned, nicely warmed up, and tasty. The quality of the sweets were overall what we expect from equivalent supermarket brand sweets. The pumpkin pepita bread was moist with a strong nutmeg flavour; banana walnut bread was unexpectedly bland but I liked the nuttiness; brownie was fudgy with chocolate chunks although not our favourite type; and chocolate croissant was more more a bread-y type, which is actually a common find. All in all impressed, and we'd consider this store for a future hangout. read more

Here's the review get off your phone when there are customers waiting at the counter for over five minutes and you don't even look up and even the manager told you there was somebody at the counter and you still didn't look up from your phone read more

I pretty much categorically refuse to get espresso based beverages from a Starbucks. I know that is very closed minded of me, because more than anything the quality of an espresso has to do with the person coaxing it from the machine than the machine itself. Still, most times I'm not quite willing to take that leap of faith. That is why Starbucks for me has been relegated to the world of brewed coffee. And in a world where you only have Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks to choose between, I'll chose Starbucks EVERY SINGLE TIME. Seriously I can barely drink the swill they brew at DD. "What world would this be?" you may ask. The world of drive through coffee. Yes, I want to sit down and savor my coffee from a ceramic cup, breathing in the heady aromas wafting up under my nose. I would like to consider the coffee itself, its flavor and its body, and ponder those depths at my leisure. But dammit, sometimes I'm just tired, and I need a pick me up. And I need coffee now. And I will drink it from a paper cup. And I will drink it through a plastic lid. For those times, this Starbucks with its drive through window is the bees knees. read more

Beyond Rude employees that ingore you when you are standing at register for 5 mins....also cut your grass its stupid long

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I sometimes find myself in need of something that can only come from Starbucks. This location has helped me out several times. A few years back I needed some almond syrup to make perfect Mai Tais for a luau, and that was the only place I could find it. They sold me two bottles without batting an eye. Last night I stopped by to see if I could buy a small amount of matcha for a green tea ice cream I was making for a friend. I was willing to buy it, or buy a "drink" without the liquid, but the staff just put 2 scoops in a cup and sent me on my way. It worked perfectly! Rest assured I will stop by this location whenever I need a tea beverage or a coffee for someone. Kudos for spreading happiness! read more

One of those odd standalone Starbucks that is cheek to jowl with a Dunky's (literally next door). This one has a very peppy drive-thru - I watched a five-car lineup being dispatched in about as many minutes - and a somewhat undersized interior. I counted four tables, a sort of booth, three lounge chairs, and a laptop bar. One of the tables is very oddly shoehorned into a closet-like space in front of the restrooms, like a penalty box - I wonder what you have to do wrong to get sent there?? Parking is split into three areas to accommodate the drive thru so can be difficult to navigate to a space during busy periods. My service was prompt but my "hot" food was tepid - Bux continues to have quality control problems across the board with their hot food lineup, so this location is not exceptional. The pick-up area here is above average for the chain - plenty of space and the pick up counter is sort of on a corner. Laptop Zombie Infiltration Factor: fifty percent. One Laptop Zombie today was consuming space around two tables / four seats. Drive-thru worthy: yes. Pick-up worthy: jury is still out, parking not the most convenient. Lounge-worthy: no. See "Penalty Box" and "Laptop Zombie Infiltration Factor", above, for details. read more

Cafe closed way before official closing time. Drive through only, but would serve only with a car. Snarky employee.

Great starbucks employees are incredibly nice. Ethan always has a great attitude and is very kind. every time I go they are understaffed and stressed...management should definitely adequately staff their store more often but the employees are lovely! My drink is always made perfectly! read more

I'll often hit this Starbucks drive-thru if I'm on Rt. 7, usually by cutting through the Dunkin' Donuts parking lot next door. Actually, I don't think I've ever been INSIDE this particular Starbucks, so I can't really speak to its cleanliness or atmosphere. The people at the drive-thru are always very pleasant, though. Paying with the app on my phone is never an issue, and my order is always accurate. Can't ask for much more, I suppose. read more

I'm a little bit of Starbucks fiend at times. I've been to many of the Starbucks around the Capital District and this one is the best. I'm lucky that now, while still a little bit of a drive, this one is the closet store to where I live. The service is typically great and the staff is friendly. I can't remember ever getting a drink prepared wrong. read more

BEST STARBUCKS IN TOWN!.... in the area!Excellent customer service! Employees are always happy! In fact their happiness... puts me in a good mood! And always apologetic if I waited too long for my order. BRAVO ... I don't know what this Starbucks has that the others don't.... but keep doing it!!! read more

I've been coming to this Starbucks since it opened, and it's always a positive experience. For such a busy location, the staff is overwhelmingly positive and helpful, even when they're swamped. I wouldn't consider myself a regular, so this is just how the staff is all the time. There are a handful of great staff members, including John! He's always smiling and happy to help. Thanks everyone for making this my favorite chain coffee shop! read more

This is one of my favorite starbucks to go to, even though on occasion it is out of my way i will still make sure this is the starbucks I get my coffee at. The baristas are always extremely friendly and helpful. I've never not gotten what I wanted because they were overwhelmed or preoccupied. When you need questions answered for you they are patient and are able to answer all your questions. Don't worry about not getting what you want here, you will and it will be with a smile. read more

Poor service, they took my order once via mobile app and twice more before I got my food. Waited over 20 min

5 stars because it's the only Starbucks for miles. They have outdoor seating that is literally in the parking lot.

This is the worst Starbucks in the Albany area. Placed an order online and still had to wait 15 min in the drive through then had to go in and wait 10 extra minutes. Ridiculous read more

I'm a regular visitor to the Capital District and this is by far the friendliest Starbucks I have EVER been to anywhere.The staff go out of their way to be nice and a smile goes a long way! Thank you! read more

Great Starbucks! My husband asks about military discounts everywhere we go. The barista at the window said they didn't have one specific for military, but he did offer us his employee discount. The coffee was great and service was quick. read more

BEST EMPLOYEES EVER! I come here once every few weeks when I'm in the area for work and the people here make my day. They take time to listen to my custom drink orders and ask how I'm doing - it's more than just a treat for food! read more

The hours on here are incorrect... They are NOT closed on Friday and Saturday. This is a nice quaint Starbucks. The were on the list to close a few years ago but their customers rallied behind them, wrote corporate headquarters and they stayed open. Thank goodness...it's our neighborhood Starbucks and I'd be lost without it b read more

Clean, high positive energy, pleasant and good service. A really nice feel good place, nice seating and spacious. Good lighting. Good vibe.

This Starbucks is one of the dirtier ones I've been to. When I come into a place that's empty, I expect that the tables are clean. Not the case here. This place just has that feeling, like they don't care. read more

Love everything about Starbucks but this one seemed like employees were miserable and don't really care about customer... Or else I would've thrown out a 5 burger (*). read more

Drive thru wait is generally very long. I have left the drive thru multiple times and always think I should have gone to the Nott St location instead. No problems with the drinks read more

The only negative was the small parking lot. Staff was friendly and started a conversation while I was waiting for my drink, not to mention my drink was made amazingly. read more

I go here all the time. Although I've never gone in, it appears to be clean when you look in from the drive thru. The workers are always very nice and have never messed up my order. read more
