How long does it take to take an order and prepare coffee! From the time we entered to the time we left with coffee was over 15 minutes. And there was not many customers inside! Pull up your socks starbucks!
Service, as many have said, is slow. One of the girls working the register was super impatient with some Japanese tourists whom she overcharged. I'm sure it gets very challenging to try to take drink orders/explain things to people whose English isn't great, but you work at Starbucks in Times Square: that's part of the job!
Also, no whipped cream on my drink (when it comes with it); she says, "I put caramel on it." While the two things are not the same, I just moved on with my morning.
This is my preferred location for the morning commute. Right next to the NQR on 49th and 7th.
Yes, there's often a line in the morning due to everyone shuffling to work, but it's hardly noticeable regarding the wait time. The baristas are great! Very nice and super quick! My drinks are always on par =) Nothing worse than getting the wrong thing (or a bad thing) first thing in the morning, so kudos to them! This is why I keep coming back!
The service up front is decent. I guess no one is ever super unpleasant, but no one is ever super welcoming either. Overall, they're pretty good and certainly good enough. I think there was only one time when one of the women got frustrated that I wanted to pay with my phone app bc she didn't hear me request it, and she had to change payment method. Oh wells…maybe it was a rough day? I've actually seen her multiple times, and she was fine.
In any case, this shall be my Starbucks home for the commuting hours =)
I'm not sure how I've gone all this time without reviewing this location, especially since it's my office building.
This particular location is a bit of a beast. For one, as with any breakfast spot, the line is way to long and not worth waiting in. I go upstairs, settle in and come back down around 9 and it's usually smooth sailing.
I can honestly say they've never screwed up my order, which is a first. They usually get my name wrong, which is annoying, but I can overlook that on a correct order.
Starbucks is never my go-to, but it's super convenient when I need a midday snack or latte.
Its a Starbucks, a chain focused on supplying magical caffeine conveniently every four blocks. This one is smaller than average, but still larger than the one on 43rd and Times Sq. The baristas seem nice, the lines move quickly, they get my drink right. I have had no issues about my drinks.
Unfortunately, this location is overrun with tourists (is there a bus tour stop or something nearby?) so the line can be overrun with people who are not used to the Starbucks hell run that most morning commutes include. There are about 10 seats in the back, but with the heavy traffic here, you'd feel very claustrophobic unless you were the lucky ones in the corner. Not recommended to sit here for more than 20 minutes – the laser blue lighting from the Barclay's building across the street will get to you.
We were rushing to a matinee Broadway show and I was scared I would hit my afternoon slump midway through, so we made a quick stop for a shaken iced tea. Thinking it shouldn't take more than a few minutes, we ducked inside.
The baristas were standing around chatting among themselves. I stood there for a while waiting… And waiting… And waiting. I think it wasn't until at least a few whole minutes before they noticed I was standing there and took my order. I wish I could comment that they scrambled apologetically to take my order, but no. They were not one bit sorry that they didn't give a damn about me or my needs as a customer.
So all in all? Every Starbucks customer complaining about how slow the service here? I thought they were just exaggerating but it's a legitimate general complaint. If you're in a rush to get anywhere, I wouldn't suggest this Starbucks location as your go-to.
The tea is great. The service is quick. The store is clean. My only issue is that the music is just too loud. A lot of people come to the coffee shop to relax or to do work and this loud techno music is just overwhelming. It really affects the environment.

Nothing as terrible as other reviews have said, but they are definitely slower here. I've noticed this trend with NYC Starbucks.
