Starbucks
“When my employment moved me from the Financial District to the Upper East Side, I needed to lay claim to a new Starbucks.”
“It gets crowded at rush hours because it's located in the very eye of this hurricane of hospitals.”
“Great job for getting a long line moving and making me less cranky with your customer service that today was better than usual.”

Usually very nice service. I really believe most SBUX have very nice, hardworking, often friendly, staff members.
I'm always in awe for the "language of the coffee orders"…really! "Dry, wet, half, dopio, light…ok, so light often means "skim" milk, OR, no sweetener? See what I mean? I am in awe! Rock on, baristas!
Food wise–YES! There are HEALTHY OFFERINGS.
Many of the egg breakfast sandwiches are in the 300-calorie range. Nice way to start your day with protein, so you won't be hungry until lunch. I'm so glad SBUX offers these bkfst items.
I enjoy the beverages, of course.
Lines are always so long in the am during rush hour, but the baristas are slow as hell. The most efficient Starbucks I went to when I worked near there was the one at Grand Central Terminal. I want to be in and out before I have to go to work, and without fail, they are really slow here. Also, came here to redeem my birthday drink and the guy swiped my Starbucks card and said, nope, you don't have one. Except I looked in my account and I DO. So….incompetent and slow. Sigh.
Starbucks is always a consistent place to come to for moderately OK coffee. I do love the holiday drinks though. In the fall, with the pumpkin spice and chai lattes to the peppermint mocha, praline latte, and eggnog latte. It's all delicious! When I came to this store, there was quite a line due to the special offering of buy one get one free. There is some seating toward the front of the store. Service was pretty efficient for the number of people that were present.
I really like this location of Starbucks. The one on 3rd ave is way too crowded for me and it takes quite a long time to get a drink. This location is my go-to. The space is big and set-up nicely so that the lines don't interfere with the seating area. It can be a bit crowded during peak lunch hours because all the hospital staffs go here for their pick-me-ups. But even during peak hours the staff here is extremely efficient and quick. I got my first PSL of the season (they came earlier that expected) and it was piping hot-delicious. Love the big community table and the high-top chairs by the windows. It's comfy and relaxing inside. A good spot for studying or for a break from the working world.
It's a Starbucks. A large one, with enough seating (including a long community style table), and plenty of room for a line during peak hours. The staff was terribly slow at the register, talking with the customers in front of me after their transaction about non-Starbucks-related chatter. They were also rude – no smiles for me at ordering or getting my drink. But everyone has their bad days. It was a coffee and it was fine, but I wouldn't seek out this location as my go-to spot.
Typical Starbucks but this location isn't the best. Not very spacious. Service varies. Every time I go there's a wait. Luckily Gregory's just opens down the block so maybe they'll up their game with the new competition (but who knows!).
Starbucks is not good for coffee but I hold a gold membership card since last summer.
This Starbucks is one of my go-to locations in the city because it is the closest to where I spent over 10h/day on weekly basis.
The staff is friendly. I like them. Mind you, sometimes they have their head kinda somewhere else but who doesn't. Particularly if I am there to re-charge my senses. Chai lattes and Dirty Chais are my drinks always and are well made although I have tasted better ones in other locations. They lack normally an extra hint of chai which is how I like to roll, but still, well prepared and during polar vortex I survived because of this probably.
The store is always clean and the seating is nice. I would say it can hold around 25 people including a 10-people seating communal table in the middle. However, it is small for the area and depending on when do you stop by this will become apparent. We are in college/hospital/ research centers area and this Starbucks, the only one around, can hardly support people's demand. Which considering caffeine, theanine and sugar sure have big contribution to brainy stuff people around demand it a lot. During peak hours will be a line; in reality that's not different to other locations so never mind about the brainy stuff. There is also certain variation in how your drink is made depending on how rushed they are and who prepare your drink. Again, it is your average Starbucks. Go however after hours (closing time is 10pm) and you will be fine. My next project is to become the duchess so I'm even more pushed to go here everyday just because of that. Ain't gonna be easy.
Definitely recommended. Just please don't check-in often
ample seating, though it can get pretty busy during rush hour. never had a problem with the staff or my drinks. nothing else to say except its like any other starbucks…
