This Starbucks is probably one of the worst I've been to. The only reason why I go to this specific Starbucks is because it's close to my work. I rarely ever come, mainly because I hate over priced ridiculously corporate coffee shops, but when I do, I always have the same unfortunate experience.
First, It's always crowded. There's really never any tables any time of the day except for late nights, so good luck if you come here intending to buckle down and get work done.
Second, It's disgustingly dirty every time I come here. When I do find an open table, there's always coffee stains or stale crumbs left everywhere. Their bathroom, especially, is always disgusting. Nothing says a cup of joe like the scent of pee and sight of trash on the floors. Really yummy.
Third, the baristas never seem to get my order right. I usually ask for a dairy free option of milk (all they have is soy at this facility, unfortunately) and it to be unsweetened. Pretty basic, right? Yet each and every time, It's completely forgotten. The last time I came here, they never asked me for a size, just assumed I wanted a grande so charged me for one. Alright, great, thanks.
Next time you are craving Starbucks (which honestly, I don't know who does), I would recommend avoiding this one as much as possible. It's just not worth it.
This location is a pretty standard Starbucks. I do enjoy the banquette in the back and it's a prime location to set as a meeting location if you're planning to meet people in the Union Square area.
The service is pretty decent, but real estate can be hard to find if you're planning a long haul. I recommend only coming for a hit-and-run coffee run.
Very large Starbucks, lots of people taking up all the tables and chairs. Not a good, quiet place to study. Too noisy between all the ppl chatting and music being broadcast from the speakers. Good place to be distracted and when you want some noise.
I hate Starbucks in general, but this one is right by my office so I've come here a bunch (generally against my own will). The staff here is pretty competent, which is shocking. I guess all of the halfway decent Starbucks employees in the city get sent here. The place is nice, too, and there's lots of room.
Yes it's starbucks…but you know what I like about this specific one? Three things – Location – its in a prime part of town, convenient to 4/6 trains and walkable to many other cool places. Size – its huge with tons of seating room – it can be crowded but found a seat relatively quickly. Predictability – has outlets, good wifi and well, you know what you are going to get in terms of coffee/food…Love it or hate it.
I'm not much of a Starbuck fan but on a suggestion I tried a Grande Caramel Macciato.
Deliciously unhealthy; so sweet!
Price: $ 4.75 + 0.60 for soy milk. Rate 4/5
Note: The address of this Starbucks in 424 Part Ave. South but the entrance is on 23rd St. next to the subway station entrance.
Let me preface this by saying the following: i'm not a coffee person. I never drink coffee. I don't even like going into Starbucks and I never buy anything from any of these places. This is important, because i want you to know just how much i DISLIKE even entering these places.
One of my gigs has an office not too far from this particular starbucks, and sometimes I have to go by here and grab coffee for our clients. sometimes it's a cup or two…sometimes it's a LOT of coffee. In every case, I have literally no idea what these people order because, like i said, i'm not a coffee person. I usually show up with a list and just hand it to the baristas there. I'm there so much that they're just like "oh you're back huh? cool." and they just start typing in my order and marking it off with people's names so i'm not confused. they realize that i'm not a coffee or a starbucks person and they make it very easy for me to interact with them and get the right thing. I've met a lot of the people who work here and they're all really nice. People walk in all the time and the barista will just tell them their order before they even speak. it's pretty cool.
in fact, one particular flustered day for me, the manager was helping me with my order and noticed my frustration, and asked what i normally get from starbucks. i told him im not a coffee guy so i never buy anything from there. he asked if i like tea. i said, yea sometimes. so he made me a fruity ice tea thing and gave it to me for free, just to try. pretty nice guy who you can tell when you talk to him cares about literally everyone single person who comes into his establishment. This place is just a good establishment and it's just run exceptionally well. well done.
This place is the worst. I had to wait eons for my order (Note: There was no one there, but actually). And when it finally came out, my frap was like half melted. Um, would it kill you to make sure it was the right consistency? Like seriously? I don't want a watery frap. The worst.
