Perhaps they are short of manpower; the queue is long, and the cashier has to prepare beverages as well. We waited for nearly 20 minutes for a drink.By the way, the staff is very polite, friendly, and helpful.

1/2/2023: The coffee at this Starbucks is on par with the usual standard, and the ambiance maintains that familiar feel. However, the customer service aspect left much to be desired. Our initial encounter with the cashier was marred by agitation, as he loudly declared that each coffee would take an extensive 20 minutes to be prepared. To compound matters, the "Team Leader" figure in charge was incessantly shouting at customers, instructing them to vacate the premises.What was particularly concerning was the leader’s approach to non-English speakers. Instead of employing effective communication, she resorted to even louder yelling, as if volume alone would bridge the language barrier. This not only created an uncomfortable atmosphere but also raised questions about the staff's ability to handle diverse customer interactions with tact and understanding. In essence, while the coffee and ambiance aligned with expectations, the overall experience was marred by the lackluster and unpleasant customer service encountered from the moment of entry.

They don't scan the app. 50% upcharge for mugs without a pass, and they started ripping off price tags after I pointed out the discrepancy. Terrible experience.

Renovation is completed. Unfortunately no indoor seating has been added. Only outdoor seating. The employees are brand new and still learning. Andrea is a great team leader and look forward toward the new employees professional growth.

Worst starbucks experience i’ve ever had was at starbucks city walk. The staff didn’t know their way around, slow service, ordered 3 drinks and a snack and we received just 1 drink. When we approached the barista she told us that what we’ve ordered ( cold brew ) was out and they didn’t even bother to inform us.

My friends and I stopped by this Starbucks in City Walk since we saw on Yelp and Google that they close at 2am. Other Starbucks closes at 8pm or 9pm so we decided to come to City Walk since my friend wanted his coffee. If you're a AMC Stub member then you should use your free ticket to take advantage of not paying full price for parking. This Starbucks location is on the 2nd floor now instead of the 1st floor in its old location. This Starbucks store isn't big, I think it's meant for just people to get their drink and relax outside in their outdoor seating area or to walk around City Walk. My friend got his black coffee and my other friend got the Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. They enjoyed their drink but it did take a while to come out when they weren't that busy. When we left the store at 10pm, they started closing their door and said they were closed so we were surprise since we thought they close at 2pm.

Kid-friendliness: This place is kid friendly since it's inside City Walk, you'll just have to go to the second level since this Starbucks store moved.

Parking: You have to pay to park at the parking structure.

Wheelchair accessibility: You can take the elevator to the 2nd floor to get to Starbucks.

Order was not correct, size not correct, but I waited so long for the drink I did not have time to go back. They need to hire more workers especially at a busy place like Universal Studios .

The associate that helped us was so rude! She seemed annoyed for just being there... I understand it's not the most pleasant job, but why give customers attitude. Her name was Gigi and she talked to people like they were peasants....

Insanely long wait. Sold out day at Universal and they had 1 person at cash and 1 filling orders. I went to 2 rides (as single rider) while my wife waited for a coffee. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

Geanna has been very impolite and rude. Seems that she doesn’t like her job.Worst waitress I have ever seen in the US.

Quick order line but took 30 minutes just to get 1 drink. And my bagle wasn't how I ordered it!!! Plus only one person was making the drinks.
