Starbucks

“you would almost forget you were in Times Square.”

“Not the tourists or coffee shop's fault, but I like a Starbucks that is relatively tourist-free so that I can come in and out very quickly to or from work.”

  1. Small location. If you're hoping to sit down & do some work while you're here, chances are you won't be able to.

    Staff is very friendly and efficient. They're excellent at getting your order & getting you out the door, but not in a "we don't want you here" kinda way. They understand that people in the city are busy & they don't want to take up any of your time if you don't want them to.

    When I was there they were out of bags which meant I had to carry the souvenir cup I got for my wife in my hand, but whatever. No biggie.

  2. One of the slowest locations in the city.  Huge lines (Times Square, no surprise) and always very few folks behind the counter making things happen.  They're giving it their best shot under the circumstances, but don't expect to get in and out of here in any kind of hurry no matter the time of day.

  3. Starbucks are starbucks…pretty much the same wherever you go.  It's not a bad thing, a little familiarity never hurt anyone.  

    During my stay in NYC I came in twice in the morning and the place was pretty packed, but the line moved at a good pace.  There is no seating area in this starbucks, FYI.

  4. And just like that – the great manager they had here is gone and the place goes to hell. There are a few friendly faces at the register, but drinks are slowly and poorly made.

    I can't keep coming here…

  5. It's kind of fun giving a Starbucks a bad review, because I know it's like trying to scar the ocean with a teaspoon of milk. I can only surmise that this review might translate poorly upon the employees, so I'd like to stress that the cashier, "Tiny?" She was very warm and welcoming and doing her best. This place is nuzzled against Times Square; it's super populated and it's dirty inside (joke about my ex wife). As far as I can see the people working here are working their butts off, it's just not enough for the crowd.

    I've been waiting here for a long while now. It's been so long I honestly can't remember a life before Starbucks. I have to assume the worst… I'll probably die here. So by the time I get my venti iced coffee, I'll need to find a suitable mate and repopulate as best I can, start a home here… Maybe grow a farm from the seeds I find in the garbage.

    Anyway, so my official review is that unless you want to die a slow death, you should just go to one of the many other awesome coffee joints in Hell's Kitchen.

    Don't be like me. Stay in school!

  6. this is the biggest busiest starbucks I've ever been to – i have waited up to 15 minutes on line, what amd I crazy? yes. Starbucks is starbucks. No seating to speak of – but you're in times square – who wants to sit ??? only issue: they make the drinks out of order… so if you have a group of 3 or 4 … you may have to wait a while for people behind you getting theirs first.  What more that that makes a New Yorker crazy ?  =]

  7. I stopped by here for a PSL before having to attending a conference one early morning.

    There was only one person ringing people up but that was because 2 were making the drinks.

    They got my name right and my drink right, which is all one can ask for! I didn't have to wait forever for mine either.

    Also, found a seat pretty easily to rest and wait until I had to be where I had to go. So always a nice perk.

    Not a bad spot.

  8. What do you call an espresso that makes you sad? A depresso!

    Meh I exprencied better ….

    My top bad experiences at this Starbucks are:

    – getting a Latte made with whipping cream instead of chai!
    – watery iced tea!
    – too much ice in the iced tea!
    -crowded! Always crowed…
    ***The worst part about this place is there is no outlets at all and very limited to seatings!
