Ummmm… Not sure what happened but after I got my coffee I found my way to the restroom in the back. (Which I had seen two people use.) It was vacant but needed a code (pretty standard). When I asked the barista for the code, she flat out said: "We don't have a restroom."
Even my crappy neighborhood bodega has a restroom for paying customers.
I'm mainly a fan b/c
-They do not take a 1/2hr to make my beverage like the one near my house.
-They make drink right.
-It's pretty clean when I go in.
-No one is in my 3ft of space when on the line.
and
-I can get it jumping on or off the train.
HOWEVER… they still spell my name all types of wrong.
The barista moves the line quickly during peak hours and my order is always right. The seating is cozy and the warm lights makes this location so comfortable for good company and latte.
Wait no one mispronounced my name today when my latte was delivered. In fact no one's name was called at pick up…did I miss the memo?
No bathroom! What a travesty. I was passing through on my way to work in Red Hook and needed my daily dose of caffeine. I stopped in here and used my mobile order tool to grab my quadruple espresso con panna, only to be greeted by a friendly young woman who takes your order at a smaller counter before you reach the register. OK, then. Can we just use the mobile order?
I have only been here once and probably would choose the other Starbucks located a few blocks away because they have a bathroom. But this one is above average, where service and cleanliness ate concerned.
Let's see…filthy table wiped off at my request with a gross wet rag that left disgusting droplets that I wiped with napkins. Poorly heated breakfast sandwich. Horrible floor plan with THREE standard two seat tables, plus handicapped table and a bunch of high top/sideboard seats impossible to work or socialize. The coup de grace? Wireless would not work on phone or laptop.
The beau and I stopped here briefly before venturing down to Red Hook over the weekend. Typical Starbucks. However, the lines were long, service took a surprisingly long time despite multiple baristas making drinks, the bathroom was inaccessible for whatever reason, and I could not find a single plug! I know, these sound like whiny complaints, but dammit, I stand by them! Ha! We were thirsty, needed a restroom, were in somewhat of a time crunch, and needed a few minutes to charge our phones.
Well, his iced coffee was good, at least. Heh.
This Starbucks is one of my least favorite – small and cramped with limited seating. Basically I go cause it's there in a pinch.
At six in the morning, this place is a machine. Most of the baristas know me by face and have my "venti iced coffee, sweetened with soy, no ice" drink ready before I've even whipped out my phone to pay with the app. They know how I like it, and for that, this Starbucks is one of my favorite places during the wee morning hours.
But move forward into the day a little and you've got lines. Lines everywhere. When people don't know to whip the line around the pole (and this happens often), the queue can even go right up against the entrance, which makes for an uncomfortable wait.
There's hardly a quiet period here at this Starbucks; I've been here at all odd hours – eight, ten, noon, after work – and it always seems to be bustling (precisely why I try to take care of my caffeine so early in the morning, when everyone still has their head on). During the busiest hours, someone will come around the line with a headset in an attempt to feed the orders through a little faster which then helps mitigate the wait…but as a general rule of thumb, expect to spend about ten minutes for your order.
