The worst Starbucks experience ever. They had no brown sugar. They had no napkins. GARBAGE EVERYWHERE. Does anyone work here or nah? This is why I stick to independent coffee roasters.
Him: do you spell it with a "y" or an "i-e"? Me: it's a latte, not a birth certificate, just make my damn drink!!!
Ugh… U would think since this Starbucks is located in Lexington area..the service and the inside would be nice…nope..
Out of all the Starbucks in Lexington this is not a favorite… The frap is over iced…they don't have the shakers with vanilla…chocolate….cinnamon etc..there was only two outlets inside this Starbucks…meh..iv experienced better….
On one of the most disgustingly wet and humid NYC summer days this location had basically no air conditioning working. I walked in here to hopefully get a blast of cool air and enjoy an iced coffee for a few minutes.
Fail.
Small space with some seating.
A few tables outside if you want to sit in a sauna.
Moist is the way to describe this place. Moist. So moist.
PROS: They serve coffee. Check. They offer the food selections – bistro boxes, baked goods, yogurts, drinks.
CONS: They have a limited selection of teas and chais to buy for your house/work to make on your own. The line can be ridiculous and they haven't yet figured out logistics.
Mixed – Yeah if I pay over $4 for coffee, I like that one free music download a week. Call me cheap. Or call me someone who likes indie bands and thinks it's fun to have a free sample of music that I might listen to for the rest of my life. Point is – they don't always have the cards there and aren't super friendly when you ask for it.
They don't know my name like other locations. And they don't really form a rapport with customers (though they rag on each other all day).
But they serve coffee. And really, what else were you going for?
What I will say is that it is a very small space for a busy intersection. Given the number of people, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the line moved.
I know, I know. It's a chain, why have such high hopes? Well, I've been working across the street for about 6 months, and we often have out of town clients who will ask for Starbucks because why wouldn't they? And, with each coffee trek I make for them, I think, "Why can't they be adventurous & try Ground Central?"
I'm saving this place from the dreaded 1-star rating because the baristas are friendly. And, for my birthday reward, I ordered a grande & the cashier said, "Wait… you don't want a trenta?" That was a well done on her part, but sadly my 75 other visits trump this happy memory.
Sometimes, the line will wrap around the entire restaurant, and the 2 employees on duty will continue forth with no sense of urgency. Sometimes, I will be the only person in line, and I will longingly linger for 3 minutes before someone acknowledges my presence.
Specialty, limited time drinks may be offered nationwide… but that doesn't necessarily mean THIS Starbucks. They claimed they didn't have the molten lava latte even though it was displayed on their biggest chalkboard.
And, finally, their doors resemble the shed doors in my parents' Pennsylvania backyard. I'm serious.
Hay it's a Starbucks what do you expect? Well with that being said, I have three Starbucks need the job and this one is less than a block where the other are both 2 blocks away. I can't remember if the staff ever messing up or missing my order.
The cashiers know me by name and somethings can tell what type of coffee I want just by looking at me. The place does have ample seating if that is what you are looking for.
The only thing negative is this place is small and five or more people can block the entrance. And also the hard to open spring doors that will slap you in the back and non-functioning air conditioning in the summer.

Like my junk was sitting in here.

It's a Starbucks. It does what it says it will.

I'll save my bucks.
