Starbucks in Tempe

“My visit 11:00 AM JUNE 25 2026
Given up hope with Starbucks for some time now until
THIS location. Staff super friendly, polite. Facility clean. Acknowledged my presence when standing at counter and served within seconds of greeting. Ill drive the extra mile to this location over the Starbucks closest to my home
Great Job!“

“I seriously have the BEST Starbucks crew ever! Every single time I come in, they’re friendly, welcoming, and somehow always manage to make my day better. My drinks are always perfect, they remember my orders, and they treat everyone with so much kindness. You can tell they work hard and genuinely care about their customers. This location isn’t just about coffee—it’s about the people. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face and for keeping me caffeinated! You girls are amazing and so appreciated. ❤☕“

“Talisha is so friendly and prompt! ? My Saturday morning routine is to get a hot nonfat latte to sip while I do my shopping. Never disappointed. Worth your time to go here when you're out and about, regardless that there's a freestanding location in the parking lot!“

“I would give 20 stars for the service here if I could. I went in today to ask about a promotion that I wasn't getting my visits counted and Gary helped me find where to go for customer support. He was fantastic and should get a serious raise! Thank you Gary! 😊“

“We was on our way to Vegas and stopped at the Starbucks for a medicine ball it was so good they kept us up it kept us warm it was about 4:30 a.m. in the morning and they was open and cheerful and happy these people must really love their job cuz they was very happy to see people morning people are the best thank “

“5 stars for Jayden, likely 3 for the store—

Store was pretty busy and only two people working, that’s looks overwhelming, BUT Jayden was awesome, he wasn’t taking shortcuts on my drink and he actually shook my tea, something I struggle to find anymore when I visit a store and though it was crazy, Jayden was giving good service and it didn’t take too terribly long for my drink to come out so Thankyou for holding it together Jayden, hopefully you’ll get some support in the store“

“The barista this morning made the best Frappuccino I've had in awhile, she was great. Really redeemed Starbucks and a negative experience I've had at a nearby Starbucks at Safeway. This one is consistent. Always good staff and good drinks.“

“Bella was an excellent worker, helping me decide what to order as I haven’t ever really been to starbucks and the variety of options often appears daunting. That is, until Bella was able to help me and answer questions to find what I was looking for. I had also brought in my puppy, she informed me very respectfully that store policy didn’t allow for pets in the store that weren’t service animals. Completely understandable considering this is a food establishment. That said, I picked up my puppy and was given a Pup cup free of charge which was a kind gesture. It was a nice escape from the heat and the store was exceptionally clean in comparison to other locations i’ve visited in the Valley. I’d highly recommend visiting this store if you are in the Tempe area , and in the off chance you may be inexperienced like myself, ask for Bella.“

“I absolutely love visiting this Starbucks location, even though I could easily go through the drive-thru. I've finally found my Starbucks Family here, and I genuinely look forward to catching up with them each time I visit. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always eager to share the latest monthly specials and make you feel included and excited too. 10/10“

“This location seems to always get it right! Never had a bad experience. Very friendly, quick , and awesome service especially when Andrew is working. Can’t go wrong with this place! I always get coffee from Starbucks, and some locations are hit or miss,but not this one…they are always on point!“

“We really like this Starbucks mainly because the service is so good. I gave them 4 stars for the coffee because I'm not a fan of the Clover machines. The old style brewed coffee was much better. We also find the location convenient for us on our bicycles.“

“My hubby and I have been to this location twice, and each time we had great service!

I love that the two individuals who served us were fun, funny, played along with our shenanigans, and were their authentic selves.

To the Black Man who chatted about the Oura ring with me and the Hispanic Woman who called me 'boo', you two were/are wonderful!....sorry I didn't get your names!!!“

“Marie is a star player on this team. She went above and beyond to ensure I walked away completely satisfied with my beverage. Please recognize Marie for excellent customer care and warm, friendly, helpful service. Nice area to sit inside and out. Quiet, relaxing, comfy place. Definitely get your coffee/tea/beverage and food at this location. Plenty of parking as it’s inside the Barnes & Noble at Tempe Marketplace.“

“I highly recommend this starbucks in target. The service, friendliness, and personable atmosphere is amazing, especially from Casey. The coffee is always super hot the way it is suppose to be. I go to different starbucks and this one is the best one.“

“10/10 service. I visited late Wednesday, September 23rd, and the closing crew provided outstanding customer service! When pulling my shot of espresso, the first one was poorly extracted and too bitter. They recognized the quality issue right away and pulled a new one for me, even taking a moment to show me the difference in quality. Top notch!“

“Stopped by Starbucks for takeout and got a Caramel Macchiato . The coffee was smooth and had a nice caramel flavor without being too sweet. My order was packed pretty quickly. Everything was simple and convenient, which was nice since I was just grabbing something on the way.“

“Shout out to this heroic crew. I stop by once a day on my way to work and they’re always slammed and efficient as heck.

This location is a drive-thru with outside seating, so no lobby. When I worked for Starbucks, drive-thru was the hardest part - I’m impressed that that’s ALL THEY DO and they nail it. Friendly, fast, knowledgeable.

My drink is an iced coffee with no classic and a splash of 1/2 n 1/2. A “splash” is subjective, so I’m never upset when a barista goes overboard or doesn’t put enough in my coffee, but these workers get me.

Happy to continue coming here because the workers are fantastic.“

“This location is by far the best I've been to in the Valley! Coffee is always consistent. Staff is always friendly and positive! I picked up a mobile order this morning for red cup day, expecting maybe a little frustration from staff with how busy it was & nope! Everyone still super friendly and happy! Always appreciate kindness!“

“IM SWITCHING FROM A 1 STAR TO A 5 STAR. Yes you guys get busy. Yea there are rush hour orders and yes you guys are human. I understand that. But they way ALL your staff treats me and my family... Makes me want to come back. Love the energy and we appreciate everyones hard work. Thank you guys for making our coffee pick up that extra special.“

“Not only does this Starbucks provide just the right amount of hustle and bustle to keep the study areas from being too quiet, but it’s also just quiet enough to study.

Also the new hire Karen is such a doll! Great service and a friendly demeanor. I can’t wait to go back!“

“This is hands down the best Starbucks in town!

Not only are the drinks crafted with care, but the staff is truly exceptional. Azalia and the rest of the team make this location feel special every time you visit.

Highly recommended!“

“For the price of the coffee I would prefer the cup to be full , every time I order a latte I get a 3/4 full cup including the foam , if people from this location read the reviews please make sure you fill the cups completely and it would be perfect“

“Alex you where absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for being so kind and helpful to me. I don't look like your typical Starbucks customer, but truth is, it is my favorite coffee. I have been to many other Starbucks and have gotten dirty. Looks as to why someone like me who is wearing a American Flag T-shirt. A blue-collar worker would be getting coffee at a Starbucks like I am some kind of conservative racist. That has been my experience at a lot of Starbucks. But today meeting Alex and the way that she handled my order and helped me out through ordering a drink. I've never tried was absolutely amazing. And restored my faith in the company, just a little bit, I will definitely be going back to this Starbucks specifically for her, because she did such amazing job. The drink was great and I can't say enough good things about Customer service.I really hope she gets recognition for the way she works.I also watched her treat others.The same way she treated me.She was great all the way around and deserves to be recognized.“

“The one at MU is has great service! Opens early in the morning till late in the evening, which is pretty convinient for someone who is on campus the whole day! Only drawback, long queue, it takes about 15-20 mins during a rush hour to get a coffee.“

“This is my favorite Starbucks, super convenient to do homework and get jacked on espresso. All the baristas are super kind and really fast. If you don’t know what to order, ask Jennifer, I think she is the manager and was voted best barista in all of Arizona at the annual statewide barista 1v1 tournament and is super creative with what drinks and flavors she thinks of!

My favorite baristas are definitely:
Jennifer, Valerie, Inanna, Harshitha, Audrey, Karina!“

“Cant go wrong when going to starbucks haha! got my usual coffee and it tasted magical! they place was nice its clean and neat! the staff are nice aswell they were so polite and friendly i love that thats a huge +. my coffee is well made and i can really feel that i have the energy to go through my day!“

“This store is ran so well. They do get busy at times with all of the corporate offices and foot traffic within the complex but the staff is always friendly, attentive, and working as hard and as quickly as possible. The management is top tier as well. Always greeted with a smile. Makes you want to visit!“
