Fastest service I've had at a Starbucks that was actually busy! Our drinks came out right away. The store is clean and has good seating. My venti iced pumpkin spice latte with blonde espresso and pumpkin cream cold foam is always reliably delicious at Starbucks. read more

I usually choose local cafés over Starbucks, although I do collect their mugs from other cities and countries. They have great quality mugs that stay looking brand new even with hundreds of washes in the dishwasher... but I digress. My brother and his family were visiting from out of town, and they are huge Starbucks fans. So we found ourselves at this Downtown St Pete Starbucks after we spent the morning at the Saturday Morning Market. It was fairly crowded with a limited amount of seating. Service was slow, and employees were neither friendly nor rude. I ordered the Oreo Frappucino because I felt like having a dessert. I won't lie... I enjoyed it... but I had to deal with the bloaty tummy ache after. read more

We don't like Starbucks coffee or their espresso. But we do like their foo-foo drinks and their cold brew. Beyond the drinks at this Starbucks, the baristas here are super nice. It is a pleasure interacting with them as opposed to some other coffee shops in St. Pete. read more

The service here wasn't quite good despite seeing many workers around and the coffee was ok but could be better!!

Honestly, I give it 0 stars. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The manager is super rude. I said good morning to her 3 times (just trying to be polite) and she did not look at me, respond or even smile. She ignored me completely every time. If you're going to work in food service. You at least need to be respectful. They are super discriminatory against the homeless. My poor homeless 90 year old friend came in here this morning right when they opened and spent 40 dollars on all the homeless here and didn't even receive respect. They all just acted like she was a burden. ESPECIALLY THE MANAGER LANA. DO NOT EVER EAT HERE OR GET COFFEE HERE if you want to be served by good hearted people. read more

Love/hate relationship. Love because it's close and convenient for my commute, along with mobile ordering. Hate because of the inconsistency of making drinks by baristas and the constant barrage of homeless people that hang out inside. read more

Great location Atmosphere: very spacious and open. Comfortable seating I ordered my usual half passion half black iced tea unsweetened. It was perfect. They have plastic sippy cups now. I think it's great that they are cutting back on using plastic straws. read more

We all know that Starbucks is often staffed with kind and compassionate human beings. The 1st Avenue store follows this trend nice, but I would argue they go above and beyond any expectations you could have. I am also somewhat of a gardener, and they participate in the Grounds for Your Garden program, which allows customers to pick up used coffee grounds for gardening and compost. I can always come here and expect to find several bags of grounds ready to be picked up. Their dedication to recycling is extraordinary. It's very obvious the staff is environmentally conscious. They go so far as to thank me for taking them. I find myself at this location three or four times a week. I have a somewhat convoluted coffee, so i understand that it can be inconsistently made. Not here. Every single drink comes our perfect every single time. I could not be more happy with this Starbucks. Easily the best location I've ever been to. read more

Starbucks - Beautiful Display - Coffee & Tea Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

The incredibly friendly and attentive staff here bring the rating up to three. If it were not for them, I'd give it a one, because this is not a particularly enjoyable Starbucks location. St Pete, doing its best to be a 'big city', has a decent number of homeless folks in the vicinity of this Starbucks, and they are constantly coming in, spreading their belongings out, coughing without covering, etc. Pinellas already has a Hep A issue, so I'm sorry, but I don't really like homeless people in my chosen eating establishments. The bathroom has a pointless combo lock on it, and I say pointless because as we all know Starbucks policy is to no longer ask if someone is a paying customer, so they just give the code out to anyone who asks anyway. That of course has lead to a disgusting bathroom I won't use. Next up, the non-homeless expensive condo population of St Pete, who are also in close vicinity. That brings in a combo of either yoga pants and 'service animal' dog as an dress accessory, or male with AirPods talking about their next awe-inspiring business deal way too loudly. Finally, the place is kept ice cold and music loud, probably to encourage people to not stay too long. read more

After waiting more than half an hour for the food in our mobile order and seeing other food orders that were placed after ours start coming up, we (politely) asked if they could check to see if the rest of our order was still in the queue. The employee at the food warming station yelled that "it will come out when it comes out" and then stormed off into the back. We asked another worker if they could please just check - all refused. Ok, I understand you probably get asked that question a lot and that you're busy, but so are your customers. A simple request to get a sense of expected wait time is not unreasonable. We have enjoyed going to this Starbucks for its convenience as our condo is right across the street. The staff have made sure we will not be back. read more

Always a very friendly staff...but on the slower side filling mobile orders. Great downtown location keeps me coming back.

Quick service for being so busy. I lose sleep over the fact that every starbs I've been to gives me a different VSC nitro cold brew. Sometimes it's sweet, sometimes its mellow and fantastic, and today it's so bitter my skin melted off my body and fell into a puddle on the floor. I did not clean it up I just went to my car and slammed my coffee. Choked it down. I'll try again another time. read more

So good it taste awesome I recommend this so much if you need a drink get one from this place

Great location (meaning it's right downtown St. Pete) and really have to love almost any Starbucks! The employees are really nice and does a good job. However it can be hard to find a parking and this Starbucks is pretty crowded at most times (downtown, huh). There are only few nice tables and they are taken for hours by people who sip on a drink and study on their computers. So it's a no no for finding a nice table, but yes yes for getting my morning coffee... until I get my own Starbucks machine on Black Friday sale for $59. Yeeeey:) read more

4*/5* not bec of staff (they're 5*). The loss of star is for corporate's heavy hand in creating waste twice. 1) They don't recycle. They don't even try. Big company like SB throwing cups away by the 100's daily, per store. Do the math on that. Imagine a Costco dumping out a truckload of cups into the landfills. 2) Food is discarded per corporate BS. The expiration date on a wrapped sandwich is today, the sandwich is unsold FOR FULL VALUE, then its trashed. No 1/2 price last hour. No "buy $3+ coffee and get free sandwich". No "receipt lottery" 1 hour before close (name on receipt, goes into hat, pull the winner) No donation to shelter or company. They can't even wrap it in a separate trash bag and leave it next to trash pile. Compared to Coffee Bean in California that announced, 15 mins to close, that the following sandwiches have today's expiration date and anyone who wishes to take them may do so. They were good sandwiches. Not $6 ones but $3.50 ones. Starbucks is so corporate that they waste stuff left and right. The staff is usually as wooden as Pinocchio- this location was different (dude with full beard knows his stuff and is chiller than a morgue corpse) Recycle. Donate/raffle/secondarily discard the day old food. SB is the Walmart of coffee. Too big for their own good. read more

Gotta tell you I hated starbucks before coming to the US.. I loveeeeeee this coffee and their breakfast sandwiches I'm telling you their chef is brilliant. Now go in here in the morning my hubby is here every day - Jeff has learned so many customers names - the man is just a cutie - All the employees here seem to love to be here and I actually get in a good mood knowing I am grabbing a coffee here... The staff makes it!!!! Thank you for caring read more

The service and staff at this store is unmatched. We had a great first interaction, great conversation with the barista at handoff, and then after I spilled my entire coffee in my car, they provided a wet and dry rag and gave me a replacement coffee. They were so sweet and helpful. read more

Starbucks is Starbucks. I always go there when I am out of the country. I am addicted to their frappuccino with espresso shot. This place has really nice staff! Free wifi always at Starbucks! Accepts AMEX. read more

Starbucks - Behind the counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

Needed a couple coffees and maybe something quick for breakfast. Walked to Starbucks and I've heard all the hype on television about them not throwing anyone out. I guess I figured how big a problem could it be.... then we went here. I ordered two coffees and my wife left it up to me, and I looked around. There were NO open seats homeless "patrons" were taking all the seats. I looked down and saw a bag with bugs crawling all over it. No, not eating here and if Starbucks is into the homeless more than coffee and pastry customers maybe they should open shelters. Expensive coffee and not a seat to drink it in... great business model, I wont ever go back. read more

The staff is usually quite friendly and they make their drinks well. However, it is always - without fail - super dirty. Every time I come in here, the tables have trash and crumbs or spilled drinks on them leaving them sticky. Today, two baristas let drink orders pile up while they were chatting with a friend about his boy troubles. Pretty unprofessional. :/ read more

Easy Walk From Hotel Indigo. Open early. Very friendly staff. Great coffee as always from Starbucks. Nice local atmosphere. read more

Starbucks - Frontage - Coffee & Tea Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

This location is probably my favorite location so far. For being in the heart of Downtown St. Pete, it is never overly-crowded, which I definitely appreciate, seeing as I'm usually needing to sit down and do some work. I'm not sure if it's because of my purple hair (it probably is), but the staff seems to remember me, which just gives this place a home-y kind of feel. As for the menu, it's standard. Just like every other Starbucks. The reason I go to this Starbucks instead of any of the other locations in St. Pete is because it is clean and a friendly environment. read more

Beware-this Starbucks is basically a homeless shelter. We went in yesterday, bought food and coffee and had no where to sit as every table was occupied by homeless people and their belongings. None had Starbucks products just a plastic cup of water. read more

Great location for coffee among all the restaurant bars in St Pete. Nitro Cold Brew is the best! Seating inside and outside. A little roomier inside than some. Tables could be cleaner. Wasn't very busy. read more

Typical Starbucks except the need for a code to use the restrooms. Had a cafe americano with cream. Barista put in significantly insufficient cream. Think they put in a literal drop!. Cake poo was fresh and delicious. Busy place. read more

Typical Starbucks, great location downtown. On the small side indoors, but there is seating outside. You get a mixture of tourists and locals that work downtown. Very close to Sundial shopping and restaurant area. Prices are the same as with most Starbucks. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

As we've come to expected with Starbucks there are no issues with their coffee or other items. But this place was pretty dirty. The floors needed to be swept and scrubbed in a bad way, and the restrooms cleaned. When we went the men's room was broken, and only one restroom was open everyone had to share. read more

Great drinks but every seat was taken up by a homeless person so couldn't sit down... don't go if you're looking to sit down and enjoy your coffee. read more

I really like this Starbucks. It feels new and is very clean for an urban downtown location. Friendly staff fast service and clean restrooms are part of the 5 stars. Open til midnight! Lots of seating and at night you can sit outside with a latte and watch the club scene go by. One of my favorite Starbucks so far in the US. If the women's bathroom could have a hook that works going solo would be easier. read more

we got our cake pop but we ordered two drinks and got one, which had a shot of espresso in our strawberry açaí that we didn't order

If you like hanging out with people who seem to have no where to go, haven't had showers, hog up the tables all day, then this is an excellent Starbucks. The staff is nice and friendly. Wonder why they have pass codes on the restrooms. Hmm. Well that doesn't seem to help too much. read more

Just the same as any starbucks. Local one in downtown. Often hard to find seating as this place is packed...especially outside when it is good weather. Nice, friendly service and often fairly fast. A nice place to stop for coffee when downtown. read more

Went to this Starbucks this morning. Placed my drink order... My name was never called so I went up to check on my beverage... sure enough it was sitting there my hot drink was cold! The Barista didn't bother to ask if I wanted it remade. Terrible customer service. read more

Coffee is coffee to me so maybe not fair to judge but this location of Starbucks just had too many people that seemed to be using this as their early morning place for hygiene. A small line at the bathroom and the place was a little unkempt compared to the SB I went to about a mile away the previous morning. This is a good location. Very convenient and did not have time for the extra distance. read more

Starbucks - Coffee shop connect with the Hilton - Coffee & Tea Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

Now this is a fantastic Starbucks. Fast, friendly service with employees who remember your name when you walk in! Pretty impressive. They are super fast with the line, which can get long in the morning. Lots of outdoor tables to talk about the local news of the day with the downtown loiter squad. They also have the "Clover" system if you want a uniquely brewed coffee. Try it out if you are curious - you can ask for any coffee to be made in the Clover. These are common in big cities but DTSP has one! Even though it's "just Starbucks," the staff here goes above and beyond the call of duty to get you your much needed caffeine fix. Also, they shut people down from using the bathroom if you don't buy something. I personally like this philosophy because the general Starbucks public bathroom policy makes most of their bathrooms end up being where bums shave and do other various activities, some more hygienic than others. read more
