I am very excited about this location, it works very well for me. I like the look of it, situated on the bottom floor of the condominium. Inside the place is inviting and very comfortable with the seating (outdoor as well).
One downside is the staff, although they are polite, they seem like they are trying to be polite as opposed to actually being polite but I can deal with it. What I can't deal with is the frequent use of the restroom by non-customers (and that is being polite of me to say). If this type of behavior, such as the panhandling continues…..it will make this place uninviting and eventual trips to other places. Tighten things up early before its too late in order to see a better review.
Lots of space here at tables with lots of outlets nearby. Plenty of outdoor seating, too. It could just be the day I was there (Sunday) but it was very slow. They could use a second person prepping drinks. Despite being very busy, the ladies working were pleasant.
Clearly things change fast here as this building Starbucks is in didn't even exist a year ago.
That being said I've been a few times because of laziness and close proximity. It took me 20 min to get an iced coffee.
The staff isn't particularly friendly, at all.
The only good thing is the location and building. It nice and airy with tables outside.
So, when I moved to Downtown Brooklyn in 2012, there was only a wine shop (thank God for that) and the nearest Starbucks was a 5-minute walk at Jay St. Metrotech. Fast forward to 2015, they open a Starbucks pretty much downstairs from where I live.
I was so excited when they first opened. It was such a dream to have one so close to where I live. But, I dread going inside this store. The service is so slow and mediocre. The staff is clearly unmotivated and unhappy. I walked up to the register (I was the only person standing in line) and 2 baristas were just sitting around on storage crates chatting away. One of the employees was complaining to another co-worker about how it sucked working at Starbucks and that she was only making $8/hour. She continued on to say how she was contemplating getting a job as a waitress because at least she would be getting decent tips.
Then the same girl who was complaining sees me waiting and takes my order. Meanwhile, I'm feeling uncomfortable and disgusted at how unprofessional she was complaining a few seconds ago. While at the same time, I also feel guilty giving money to Starbucks, so that they can pay their baristas $8/hour while my coffee and breakfast sandwich costs $7.66.
On several other occasions, I order my usual Spinach Feta Wrap, and clearly there isn't any communication between the person who heats it and the person who hands the item to the customer, because the person who heats it leaves my wrap in the corner of an espresso machine (after seeing me and knowing that the wrap belongs to me). Meanwhile, I'm already late for work and I have to stand around like an idiot reminding the barista to pass me my wrap. This again is not a one-time incident. This happens almost everyday when I come here.
I'm also really disgusted by the "fresh produce"- referring to the apples and bananas for purchase. They have clearly been left out for days and have gone completely rotten and yet this location leaves them out for customers to purchase. See uploaded photo. Absolutely shameful.
I really like this Starbucks location because it is out of the hustle and bustle of a busy NYC. It never seems to be overly busy or out of things I would like. Definitely a spot I would go back to often but I think Starbucks prices in general are a little ridiculous so I am not a everyday visitors.
Nice big Starbucks. Staff has always been solid and friendly . No complaints and nice bathrooms. It's also not so crazy busy in the morning.
