One of my fav Starbucks in Harlem! It is so conveniently close to the train I will ride an extra stop on the B train for my cup of joe. The staff is always kind, efficient, and personable and actually seem to like and take pride in their job. I will agree it is not the easiest to grab a seat but that doesn't bother me. I have seen a lot of SO SO reviews for them and I am not sure why. Sometimes I am slightly annoyed that the bathroom and kept as clean as it should; or that some people think it is okay to NOT PURCHASE coffee and use the free wifi and hold up a seat from a paying customer. YUP I SAID IT!!
ANYWHO…keep doing a great job 145 & Bradhurst Team!
I'd have to agree with Stephanie M., this is my favorite Starbucks — at least in Manhattan — and I've reviewed a number.
First, it's got great ambiance. City College students, Harlemites, Sugar Hill folks, people pretending the neighborhood is Hamilton Heights, all ages, etc. Second, lots of folks are typically sitting down. So you won't feel alone getting a drink.
The drinks have always been made well — and I've been a bunch of times. Of course it's exciting to see a Starbucks on 145th — but even as the excitement of that has worn off, I still enjoy this one.
My drink was made well and the staff — of which there are always a lot — are quick and fast. There are not a lot of seats, mostly bar stools, which is a drawback, but that's much better than many other Starbucks in the City. Plus, you can get here via the A/B/C/D trains at 145th and walk down, even though it's a serious hill back up.
Just like any other Starbucks. This Starbucks has a large table in the center of the shop where I think would be a nice space to get some work done.
Spacious, clean, friendly staff, and strong wifi. What else could I ask for?
This Starbucks Barista/Cashier are students which should really watch which customers stays and which don't. It is hard to find seatings here.
Try getting a refill from them without giving an argurable lecture from them.
Everytime I asked for a refill previously, they would say, "it's for customers that stay in the stores only." But it will be nice if you SAW that i was sitting right there in the store.
Sigh, I gave up coming into this starbucks. It's embarrassing to have this pointless conversion with them everytime.
And this store is the prime reason why I rather go to Jamba Juice instead of the Starbucks chain stores.
The only good thing about this location is that the green tea frap isn't watered down.
Gentrification is happening on the Upper West Side. Increase in income. then drive up the price. Get rid of those dollar stores. Vacant buildings are now becoming condos. Now queue in the Starbucks
This Starbucks is clean, large communal tables, and a friendly staff. Male/Female restrooms nice an clean.
.
There is a wonderful mix of people that patron here, but it seems as if they only walk up and down this block only.
Well gentrification is happening, but at a molasses pace.
I've spent a decent amount of afternoons and evenings here buried my head in a book and I'm glad to report this is one of the very few Starbucks location that'll get 4 out of 5. (Sorry but the Starbucks in Istanbul still has my heart!)
The staff here are efficient and friendly, always greeting you with a smile. I've seen a few incidents where a patron was particularly disruptive, yet they still remain professional.
To date they haven't made any mistakes with my orders i.e. I'm very particular with my drink (no milk in my cup).
This location is always kept clean, and so is the bathroom (thankfully) due to the Starbuck's team diligent efforts.
I'm more inclined to patron this establishment than the other coffee shops because of the unlimited wifi, clean premises, free coffee refills (gold status), and the amicable staff.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it here as well!
Nice place. Clean and efficient. Plenty of seating, though I usually stop in, get my drink and go. I've never had to wait very long for my drinks and they've always been delicious. My barista, Martin, was super nice! Told me about the current promotions they have going on and answered the all questions I had about it. Great service here 🙂
