Starbucks in Gainesville

“wow, I was blown away by the customer service. I’ve never been to a place and had a barista care for my order as much as Pierce did what a great guy he offered me suggestions through my allergies and make sure to comfort me every step of the way. i feel safe here thank you“

“No drive-thru mint I had to go into the store and take extra time to grab a coffee. It would have been wonderful except I didn't have extra time to spare. The staff are all very friendly and work quickly and efficiently to fill orders. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting.“

“i worked here for a little more than a year and a half and (forgive me for the bias) this is the best starbucks i’ve ever been to. even when it was stressful i have gained so much from working here. my coworkers and customers meant more to me than a million 5 star google reviews could express. i love you all. thank you so much.p.s. the drivethru is a little narrow“

“I had a great experience at this Starbucks! The service was friendly and efficient- everyone was welcoming and helpful. My order was ready quickly, and the food was hot and fresh, just the way I like it. I really appreciate the consistency and quality here. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“When you roll in at the wee hours of the morning and people greet you with a smile it’s refreshing. While on business trips you need all this you can get. They make a mean matcha and do so with an extra helping of cheer. Thanks Starbucks employees that helped me start my day in the right direction. I appreciate you and all that you do. I see you.“

“Mads made me a soy latte and it was good. The service was faster than any other Starbucks on 75. The person who took my order was very helpful and patient with my not knowing what I was trying to order lol. They didn't even acknowledge my wearing my pajamas“

“Fantastic spot to grab coffee and food in cosy ambience. Very near to the UF, so ideal spot for completing your assignment or attend meeting! Perfect to hangout with friends! Plenty of parking and you can also have timely pick up! The service is great and the serve person are also cordial and delightful. Kids really enjoy the cake pop and pink drink and you can enjoy expresso or mocha!“

“This is my #1 Starbucks they are always kind,get the job done right an fast. I come here everyday bec everyone on staff is always amazing and does an incredible job! I will Never go anywhere else. If your looking for the best Starbucks to go to choose this one cause there are none better!!!!!“

“I like this place more now that they've expanded it and made the space inside bigger. The drive thru still feels a bit impossible at times so I'd come to this one only if I was trying to sit inside for a bit. That being said, parking can get tight if you're not trying to walk.“

“An Exceptional Team!

I want to give a huge compliment to the entire Starbucks team — everyone here is always incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. You can truly feel that they enjoy what they do, and it creates such a positive atmosphere.

I especially want to mention Nashville (I hope I got the name right). He is genuinely one of the most pleasant and uplifting people I’ve ever met at Starbucks. Always attentive, sincerely friendly, and what really sets him apart is that he truly cares about people. It’s not just polite small talk — he’s genuinely interested, engaged, and radiates positive energy.

In a time when kindness can often feel superficial, Nashville’s authenticity stands out. You can see that he truly loves his work — and that makes every visit here special. Huge thanks to him and the entire team for making this Starbucks such a wonderful place!“

“Personally I don't trust starbucks imbedded into department stores or grocery stores because they're separately owned meaning they run on their own rules instead of Starbucks corporation rules for making drinks. The drinks won't be wildly different but normally they aren't made the exact same (I've worked for starbucks as my source). Same goes for airports however there was nothing wrong with the drinks I got so I can't complain and the 2 baristas were cracking jokes with each other and customers which is pretty rare to see sometimes so I have to give them the full 5 stars just don't expect this experience that I had for your visit. I got the new seasonal roasted chestnut latte and my S/O got the strawberry acai lemonade refresher without dried fruits they were both fine and they remembered to not add the fruits!

Parking: Huge parking lot but you normally have to park pretty far away from the building but a little walking never hurt anybody“

“I don’t doubt the claims in terrible service when busy.

I had a good experience, but granted it was not busy.

Also remember your in a college town, these are kids. Right or wrong, don’t expect maturity from the immature. It’s a coffee shop in the mall, no one wants to be there lol.“

“This Starbucks is usually pretty busy considering it is inside of the library. Still, when I went I got my food pretty quickly. I got the egg and bacon sandwich and I didn’t really like it. The bread was really dry.Their coffee is good though and like any other Starbucks. Also they don’t take gift cards at this location as do any other Starbucks that are on campus.“

“Ive went a total of once and they messed up my order but this barista Audrey was super nice, got my order correct, fixed the issue, and read my child a bedtime story while also saving my family from a house fire. Ps. I LOVED the music but was very disheartened when i heard they got rid of it.“
