Starbucks in Vancouver

“Starbucks inside parkade, more of a grab and go spot while shopping at the outdoor mall. Some seating available, not the most comfortable spot for chatting. The layout is weird and the store is overall small. If you like parkade views this is the spot.

Not sure why but at this location if you order ahead on the app you have to ask for your drink, they don’t put the drink on the counter. They keep order ahead behind a ledge, not sure what’s the logic.

Toilets are small but clean. Accessible toilets here available.“

“A joint to be freqented for breakfast and lunch as it is the nearest from museum of vancouver, museum of maritime, space center museum, planetorium and observation telescope visitor center and it does not disappoint. All standard fare with good service and clean wash room, it is also very near to stops of No.2 bus route of Translink which is a vital public transport link for nearby visitors attractions.“

“The staff at this Starbucks is truly the best. They’re always kind, cheerful, and incredibly helpful. I’ve visited at 9AM when it’s absolute mayhem, and the team’s composure and efficiency during the rush could be a case study for business schools! Starbucks coffee may be the same everywhere, but I always choose this location because of the amazing baristas. You guys are the best!“

“I had a great experience at Starbucks. Josh was incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. Excellent customer service and a positive attitude.

Thank you, Josh!“

“My go-to coffee cravings on the weekend. Jo-anne makes me the best triple grande extra hot white mocha and matcha latte on my caffeine free days :) Also, Karen is super attentive and always gives the warmest welcome at the counter! Grateful for this store and its wonderful service every time!“

“Food was so good - bagel bites with oh so yummy filling. But, today was the very first time I had terrible coffee. They didn't have dark roast, which is what I usually have. Instead I was given medium roast that must have been sitting for hours. I couldn't stomach it so out into the trash it went. Again never had this happen before at Starbucks. I guess there's a first for everything.“

“Omg Ian… I was having a really bad day, but you completely turned it around. Your kindness and positive energy, made such a difference. Thank you for making my day better. This was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at Starbucks“

“Service is so nice and professional. It’s almost divine. I dunno who trains these guys but damn they good.
Also I order dark roast coffee grande always. Man it’s always spot on. Fresh and just right. I don’t know how they always do it this good lol. I go on Saturdays so maybe it’s specific for this day.“

“blonde tattoed barista ur awesome !!!!! thanks for the great service, im not a starbucks fan but its a good place to quickly get a cheap coffee when local roasters are closed :)) i come back here specifically cuz the staff is really friendly“

“Neslie was very polite, friendly, and professional. She helped us quickly and made sure we didn’t have to wait for a long time. Her positive attitude and excellent customer service really made our experience better. Thank you for the great service! 😊“

“Starbucks is so lucky to have Melanie working at this location!

I called into the store asking if they had specific merchandise, and she took the initiative to ask if I was the one who called when I was browsing the collection. She made sure I got what I needed and went above and beyond - an absolute joy and so friendly to be around! You can tell she is very hard-working and loves interacting with everyone. Thank you Melanie, for all your help! I really appreciate it!“

“Update as of 02/17/2026: DriveThru TM is still not happy. Not happy, nor smile at all. I ordered multiple items, up-to 4or5 items and everytime he hands me my items, I say thank you but he never budge to return with a single word. Felt personal, since I was just there 3-4 days ago. Hoping he will recognize me but nothing felt special on the CS but kindly felt bad CS.

1st Review: First time going to Starbucks with a very transactional purchase. Not a big deal, it might either be too early on the day (7:30am 😅). And I am just used to them being too friendly which I enjoy, its a very great customer service touch. Just my initial observation from the speaker and did not top up when I reach the window until I left, nothing special.

Dont get me wrong, 98% of my time in this location, I get a great service. But one in Terminal Ave is always consistently great 🤭“

“I would like to personally thank the team at this Starbucks location.

I had forgotten my wallet in a car that was being serviced and tried to pay using my Starbucks app from my student days. Unfortunately, it turns out the balance hadn't been updated and there were no funds available. In hindsight, I probably should have had Apple Pay set up 🤦‍♂️

Kyle and his team were incredibly kind and gracious. They still prepared the latte and sandwich I had ordered, turning what could have been an embarrassing situation into a memorable example of excellent customer service.

As a business owner and manager myself, I truly appreciate and admire this kind of kindness and trust. It reflects the type of experience customers remember long after they leave.

Thank you again, Kyle and team. Your generosity and professionalism did not go unnoticed.

“First, out a big shout out to Jeremy for making the best pour over in a long line of coffee shops we've been to. He is most pleasant and is so efficient at his job.
Secondly, there are 3 clean bathrooms. No line ups at all.
The use of space for an industrial feel space is decorated perfectly. We will be back.“

“This is probably the cleanest Starbucks I’ve been to. I used to live nearby about 6–7 years ago, and it was just okay back then. However, in my recent visits, it has been amazing. The store is very clean, my drink is always made correctly, and the staff create a positive and welcoming atmosphere. I honestly wish this team worked at the Starbucks location I visit daily near my work.
Thank you for the great experience!“

“I’ve been to the majority of Starbucks in greater Vancouver and can say that this one is definitely one of the better ones. 9/10 times they get my drink correct, and 8/10 times they are ready in the timeframe they said they would be. Lately it seems to be a bit busier in the am, but for what they have to do, they are doing a better job than 90% of the other Starbucks around.“

“Kay gave me the best service I have ever experienced at any drink shop. She was warm, friendly, patient, and very professional. Her positive attitude made my visit so much better. Thank you, Kay, for the amazing service! Highly recommend this location.“

“I go here daily and the people there especially Hailey, Grace & Adrian are so welcoming and nice that even when in not so good mood they make my day with their broad smile and helping nature with awesome guest experience. I would suggest every Starbucks to have employees just like these guys are.“

“The main complaint about this location is how inaccurate the wait times are when ordering on the app. This location gets very busy, it has become much more of a grab and go location. Seating is minimal with many seats taken by individuals on laptops. The location is modern with lots of wood tons. On a good busy intersection close to the greenway and Elm Park. The only other decent coffee shop nearby is Honolulu Coffee on East Boulevard which also gets really busy. The atmosphere of this location changed over the years, used to be a lot more cozy. Not a good spot to meet for coffee. Get to go or go somewhere else. The staff here is very friendly and is very accommodating to the older demographics.“

“We occasionally come here on weekends ,and Millie is very attentive. Know that the condiments are self serve, but with us carrying many things or maybe just noticing other situations around us, she quietly took care of everything without us even having to ask. Not the especially chatty or outwardly friendly type. But the way she handles things with care, works efficiently and quickly, and just steadily gets on with her work stans out every time. Busy or not, seems like the kind of person who just notices what's needed and does it. It's the kind of thoughtfulness that stays with you in a good way. Thank you, Millie😃“

“The Tropical Butterfly is a must-try! But honestly, I’d come back just for the service. The girl working there was beyond amazing—so friendly and detailed in her explanation. She made me feel so welcome. 10/10 service, highly recommend!“

“Came here on a busy Sunday afternoon with only 1 batista on and she was a CHAMP! Professional, efficient, powered through the long lineup without missing a beat! Shame there was no tip option on the card machine. This young woman deserves a raise!“

“The egg, pesto and mozzarella sandwich was a decent size and had a good amount of egg and pesto.The egg seemed a bit processed, but wasn't bad. I was also excited to try the ube coconut latte, but was disappointed. I couldn't taste any ube and coconut was vaguely there. The customer service was friendly and welcoming. They had our order which was 4 drinks and 3 sandwiches (warmed) ready in about 5 minutes or less. I was extremely impressed with how fast they were able to do this.

The customer service was 5 stars, but the food and drink I would rate as 3.5 stars.“

“This Starbucks is spacious for sitting at different tables and they have a large variety of coffees and goodies. I ordered a large special coffee and bagels with cream cheese.
The barristas and other Starbucks staff are friendly and helpful to me and my friend. I was also able to practice a couple of languages here.“

“This Starbucks is really unique and totally awesome. It’s unique because the location is quite large, dry eel attended however not crowded because so many people order ahead, so usual,y there’s plenty of seating. The staff are very enthusiastic and are always willing to go the extra distance to make sure your coffee or snack is just right.“

“I had a very pleasant, fast service at this starbucks. One worker that was very delightful to attend me was Alexandra. She was incredibly generous, gave alternate options, and took her time to make sure I had a pleasant experience. My frapp was great! Thanks guys :)“

“I have been a Starbucks consumer for over 3 years now. Have been to SEVERAL locations, and this location is top notch. Baristas know what they're doing and staff are always friendly and welcoming. They do a great job keeping the store clean and presentable considering it's on DAVIE STREET. Would recommend this location!“

“I had a great experience at this Starbucks.
Dahee was incredibly kind and welcoming. She answered all of my questions patiently and explained everything clearly. I really appreciated how friendly and helpful she was. Her positive attitude made my visit even better. Thank you, Dahee!“

“Been coming here for years, as we live down the street from this location. The service is usually very quick (even when they are slammed with mobile orders). The staff are always friendly and attentive.

Plenty of seating indoors, and plenty of parking. Nothing more to say than it is one of the better Starbucks locations.“

“A smaller Starbucks that is located inside a hotel. Food was hot when served and coffee was taste and fresh. Service was fast and prompt. What you would expect, thank you to the staff that race around getting everyone's order ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💪😎“

“Starbucks is the brand name of a high-quality coffee. This one in Downtown Vancouver is the same, plus it offers an excellent location and customer service. The interior is beautiful and does not feel overcrowded even with many customers inside. The indoor dining area is big and comfortable. It has a very nice outdoor patio area to enjoy your drinks as well.“

“Kevin the big kahuna was an absolute legend helping us out at 6:30am with our big order. Props to the whole team for their professionalism and chill attitude.

** Not a supporter of Starbucks as a company but we picked up coffee there for an event. 🍉☕️✨“

“This is my favourite Starbucks on UBC campus! Not only is the staff always friendly and accommodating, they make the best drinks every single time (and when a mistake is rarely made, they always fix it super quickly!). They also don’t charge for no ice (unlike other Starbucks on campus) and offer plastic straws (both big wins for me!). Everyone that works here deserves a raise!!

Dietary restrictions: They offer alternative milk options like oat and almond for those with dairy allergies.“

“I want to give a huge shout out to Maya as she is always so friendly and welcoming. She remembers regulars by name, which makes such a difference and gives the place a really personal touch. I actually go out of my way every morning just to stop by because she starts my day off on a happy note. Great service like that is hard to find!“

“I’ve visited this location many times, and I just realized I’ve never written a review for them which they truly deserve. The staff here are incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming. Every time I stop by, the team makes the experience pleasant with their positive attitude and great customer service. It’s clear they care about their customers, and that’s something I really appreciate. Thank you to the whole team for always making my visits enjoyable! ☕️“

“I have been to this location a few times before and after work and the staff has impressed me with their kindness and attentiveness to treating a customer as a guest. They draw cute animals on my cup every time so I guess I have to keep all the cups.“

“Had amazing service from Zoey (who I believe is the manager) today. She has incredible interpersonal skills and she really understands how to treat a customer! Her other staff was lovely as well; everyone took the care and time to ensure that my order was exactly what I wanted (ie. extra cinnamon in both my latte and oatmeal! Yum!) I was duly impressed and walked out with a smile on my face. Thank you to Zoey and her amazing staff! A well-deserved 5 stars!⚘🤗“

“It's Starbucks, and this one is as good as any other. But since the remodel, there is very limited seating, and half of the seats are taken by people who finished their drink over an hour ago. I love Starbucks, but this one doesn't inspire me to drop in. For what it's worth, the staff here are always excellent.“

“Surprisingly spacious despite the construction crowd!
​This Starbucks near Cambie and 41st is incredibly busy, mainly due to the massive Oakridge Mall redevelopment across the street. You'll see many construction workers and commuters here, but the shop is surprisingly large with plenty of seating. Even with the high foot traffic, I’ve always been able to find a spot to sit down.
​The service is standard and efficient, and the environment is kept quite clean despite how busy it gets. It’s a reliable spot for a coffee break if you’re in the area.“

“I wasn’t to clear on the size I ordered and they were more then happy to fix my order with no problems at all. No charge and no charge for every little thing like at Tim’s. Sleeve charge, lid charge, Tim’s went down hill and Starbucks was there for us.“

“This is the best way for me to start my in office days. I first stop at this location for my coffee, and not even need to order it. Staff is friendly and is already familiar with me and my order. They anticipate it and always prepare it with care. Nidhi is the best! Very atencious and efficient. Thank you very much for preparing our coffee with ❤️“

“One of the cleanest and efficient stores I’ve been to in a long time. We came in just before lunch and usually by this time of day most stores cafes’s are pretty messy, but this stores floors were spotless and the countertops and tables were all clean. The garbages were empty too-which is rare to find in a starbucks these days. Very friendly and quick service, I got my food and drinks in under 5 min-which is great when you have a toddler with you. Will definitely be coming back!!“

“I had a very pleasant experience at Starbucks. Paige and Motahareh provided excellent customer service. They were very polite, friendly, and had a very good nature while interacting with customers. Their positive attitude made the environment welcoming and comfortable in the morning.It is always nice to see staff members who treat customers with kindness and professionalism. Thank you, Paige and Mohtaharrey, for the great service.“

“I spent all summer coming to this Starbucks during my internship and every morning all the employees were so kind and remembered my name and order! The employees are so warm and always smiling, and treating all customers so nicely. My coffee was always made super well and the workers were very kind and patient when I wanted to try new milk options! Coming here everyday was the highlight of my summer“

“Thank you to Ethan and Jasmine for their exceptional customer service! From suggesting drinks and flavour adjustments to Jasmine taking the time to help me out with my Starbucks account/Apple Pay, they were warm, friendly, helpful, approachable, conversational - all of the above and more! A very comfy atmosphere, as a result. Thanks so much!“

“I often come to Starbucks with my laptop to work for a few hours. The atmosphere is usually calm, and the Wi-Fi works quite well. It’s a place where you can comfortably spend time while enjoying a coffee. The latte and cappuccino options are especially very good.“

“I can’t express how much I love this Starbucks location. I spend every morning here working in their space. I listen to the employees talk with customers and it warms my heart to hear how kind and sweet they are to everyone that walks in the door.“

“This Starbucks is truly a hidden gem! It’s tucked away in Safeway Marpole - easy parking underground at Safeway. The staff are super friendly and they have a great assortment of snacks and drinks, with a friendly ambiance that is truly Marpole! Keep up the awesome work guys!“

“This Starbucks is located inside the Safeway on Broadway and McDonald. It is one of the better Starbucks I have seen inside a Safeway. It has a very nice sitting area which appears to be busy every time I come to do my shopping. The food and the coffee are like any other at Starbucks everywhere. The service is good and here it is better than others. I like lattes and decaf coffee or hot chocolate. Simple drinks with no additives like some of my high maintenance friends. Because of my simple requests I often find Starbucks options a bit much but it is always a quick order for me.I recommend this Starbucks. It is a nice place to sit and have a conversation even when people around you are shopping. People don't pay much attention to you as they are busy scanning for shopping items so you don't feel crowded.“

“I got a Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher, and surprisingly it was available! The service was quick and good, the barista even paid attention to the spelling of my name and wrote it correctly. When I made a question regarding the products the barista answered quickly and correctly.“
