Starbucks
“Especially Matthew, I see him make an extra effort to be friendly and engage individually with so many customers, including myself, and it makes this big city feel like an actual community!”
“I think the employees make a concerted effort to stay on top of things, and even have a head-set system to help communicate orders to one-another.”

Not the cleanest Starbucks I've been to but it does what I need it to do- give me coffeeee! I remember one time their credit card machine wasn't working in the afternoon so I got a free coffee!
This Starbucks is located right by the entrance/exit of the 60th Street exit of the NQR Lexington Ave subway station. It's convenient and more of a "take your coffee and run" kind of place. There's VERY limited seating and gets pretty loud in here.
Incompetent staff with a terrible attitude. They are really understaffed at this location. Walk to the one on Lex and 63. It's way better.
it's just a Starbucks right?
Well this one in particular is very dysfunctional. I don't know if it's the employees who always change so I don't base my reviews usually off them, or the location.
This place is always dirty by noon and lacking things like clean condiments for my coffee (ie vanilla powder is caked at the pouring end and that's kind of gross). The floor is already stained. The drinks are handed to you half full on occasion. The disgruntled employee who gives me my breakfast sandwich (which is cold in the middle) also has yelled at me before for cutting the line when I was also waiting for,
a breakfast sandwich.
Save your money for another Starbucks. Or deal with the above if this is convienent as I am doing on occasion.
Premium location for this Starbucks conveniently located a short walk from Bloomingdale's, free wifi for customers, plenty of electrical outlets for electronics, clean bathroom, etc.
Kinda dirty and uninspired, with not a lot of seating. Same ol' coffee products!
On of the worst locations for Starbucks. It's a busy location considering it's proximity to Bloomies. They only have 3 people working on Sat afternoon. Line was barely moving. I saw people left frustrated. And I heard the workers complaining about how they are short staffed in front of customers. How about stop complaining and chit chatting and focus on the task at hand! Ugh.
The nicest Starbucks employees work here!! HG (holy grail) Starbucks of NYC. I came here after I felt very flustered from my workout at Earth Yoga. The cashier (his name is Matthew I believe) respected and cheerfully greeted each and every customer that came in. He also asked how I spelt my name. He also ended the transaction with a, "Thank you for choosing Starbucks." And a smile. I know it's something so small but I appreciated these small kind gestures. For reference I came here on a Tuesday at 1pm. The young man preparing the drinks asked me for specifics, "would you like more ice in your iced coffee?"
Why aren't all Starbucks like this?!
Going to Starbucks is not an experience that often surprises me, but this one managed to do just that. It was a cold day as I ran in hoping to get a nice chai latte with an espresso shot.
Surprise #1: When I said "Venti Chai Latte Skim Dirty" she didn't blink and say "What is that?" (you'd be amazed how many times this has happend).
Surprise #2: I had barely made it over to the end of the counter and the drink was already good to go. The barista was even fast enough to put the cardboard "ring" in the cup for me (something other branches have had me do myself lately, I don't mind I was just surprised).
On top of this kudos to the staff for keeping a nice, clean shop.
Well worth a visit!
