This is my usual Starbucks on the UES. It's the closest one to my work so I find myself here sometimes. Unfortunately this place always has a long line and wait. I think all the students from nearby colleges go here. There's not a whole lot of space so you may find yourself shoulder-to-shoulder. The staff is very friendly here– there's a lot of young workers, always helpful. Other than that, there's a bit of seating in the back as well as along the windows/walls. Overall, okay location.
Never apologize for having high standards!
Wow…i asked for less ice…but my cup is still full of ice..why did they do that?!?
if you have to wait 1/2 hr in a line ( to order) -then let's face it….something is VERY wrong….I like Starbucks….but to wait long in a line like that is a little regardless…NO THANKS! even it was tasted good ( which it wasn't!!) because my drink was full of ice!!
This is the best looking Starbuck's in the Upper East or Upper West Side I have visited And the baristas are very nice. And it's a block from the apartment. Very good.
But there is NOWHERE to sit. Very bad. What's the point of building such a pretty Starbucks and spending money on the construction if there is nowhere to sit?
By Bloomingdales, you have "commuter" Starbucks. You're not supposed to sit there. You walk in, get your whatever, and walk out.
The communal table was a bad choice in a place with limited footage. I'm no decorator but smaller tables closer together would have been a better choice. Also, there are these super plush comfy window seats but only two (they fit two if you're cozy and happy to sit cross-legged).
I was so excited when this opened as the 60th and 3rd location doesn't thrill me and the commuter ones not good to sit down. But now I finally have WiFi so I don't really care and I have an iPhone 5 with a hot spot so I can make a hot spot anywhere I like and don't need Starbucks for WiFi (and yes of course, I always buy something).
My favorite Starbucks used to be 66th and 3rd. If you actually want to chat and interact, that's the best one in this part of the UES.
This location is convenient!!! The baristas and staff are friendly and quick. It is usually busy but the wait is not long. I have been coming to this location for years and it has been great. Just note there is usually a line so be prepared to wait at least 5mins.
The wait was long for a fast environment like the lower east side.
Average customer service. Calm and clean ambience, Would give it another chance because they literally just opened when I came.
(Convenient location for The new MTA train station for the Q. They would have to step up there game a little on wait time)
Waited too long for my drinks here. Like someone said below, the cashiers are generally fast, but the baristas are SO SLOW. The cashier said my name to the guy who was writing names down on the cups and he said WHO???? LOL just give me my damn drink…..ugh remind me never to come here again.
Yelp made me give a star….. No stars what-so-ever though. I cannot believe the manager here. Im speaking for another customer too. The so-called manager here has an attitude that should get her fired. Customer was waiting for her drink, and mentioned that the milk poured in was not non-fat. The worker who proclaimed to be the manager said she could have said something earlier, but come-on… your job is to know what drink you are making. Literally gave the worst attitude, and began to ignore the customer by humming. STARBUCKS really needs to work on training their employees, and screening them. Please walk a few blocks more to find another Starbucks, and not have your day ruined.
Do all white people look the same? Two women, one orders a coffee and I pay for it… she slides down to get the coffee.. another one orders a coffee and I pay for it (that's two if you're keeping count) and SHE then slides down to get it. I oder a coffee and I too slide down… and voila, "I already got you (the second woman) your coffee".. Ummm NO you didn't and while they might be friends there is lil resemblance except they were white.
Staff in this location in which I have been to several times is getting worse and ought to recognize people by their face and not their skin color or coffee.
Take your pot shots at me now but I purposefully skip this location to go somewhere better.
