The Bloomberg Building Starbucks serves up a nice cup of joe. It could be just me but I do think this Starbucks is a little more highclass than the one around the corner. The decor is less of the typical green Starbucks and more on the tan/brown side. It feels like you're entering a hotel because the entrance is a huge glass door. The place just feels newer and sleeker than other Starbucks. The service is pretty good too.
I had about six drinks to order all with specific instructions. They took my order while in line and everything came out perfect. The cashier had a little more trouble ringing me up but overall they were swift and there was less of a wait/line than the one around the corner. I think most people who go to this Starbucks work in the building. It's a little hidden off of the main street.
I was impressed with this Starbucks. They have great service, are relaxed and are very nice. Starbucks either got lucky with really great employees or they take pride in a higher standard at this location. I wouldn't be surprised if they did. When you're neighbors with Le Cirque and the Mayor could pop in any time, you always wanna be on your toes.
The Quick: The Classic Starbucks food and drinks you love, in a small to-go location.
The Details: The staff here is extremely friendly and quick, however the location is not as cozy or inviting as other spots. This Starbucks is great for fueling your caramel macchiato addiction, however is not a great spot to people watch.
The Damage: Standard Starbucks pricing. $4+ for a fancy yummy drink. Enjoy
Tall, Iced coffee, Grande cup.
You would think the same order at the same Starbucks week after week would be fairly consistent, right…? Not really. How much the cup is filled seems to depend on how generous the staff here are feeling.
It's OK though. This Starbucks location is aight. The lines here aren't awful and there's practically never a line for the bathroom when I need to use it.
Also, I swear the doors in this place were made by dwarves. Why are they so god damn heavy?
Small location with only some scattered tables and chairs around. At around 8:30 on a Thurs night it's empty with only one guy using the WiFi and what must be the only outlet in the place. Not the kind of Starbucks to hunker down and be a WiFi hog at. Being the location it's at must get crazy crowded here during morning work hours.
Still, the counter staff was friendly and served up my iced drink quickly and with smiles all around. Even had a half decently clean bathroom that I used on the way out. Average Starbucks, but aren't most of them anyway?
There are literally 4 Starbucks in .1 mile radius:
731 Lexington Ave
135E 57th st
1021 3ave
131E 58th st
They all sell the same thing but if you're looking for a seat to meet up with someone, you want to go to this location with 9 tables.
This Starbucks is directly across the Bloomberg building.
