Starbucks in Chicago

“Tried to make a reservation at the Walnut Room a month or two earlier but everything was booked. Decided to put in a request to be notified on OpenTable if any last minute cancellations and got lucky. Had a great time celebrating my birthday with a friend. We both ordered Mrs. Herring's Original chicken pot pie and I had a Poinsettia cocktail . Our pot pie's were tasty and we enjoyed the petite Walnut Room salad that came as a side. Our waiter Jose was so nice and super efficient. When he found out I was celebrating my birthday, he came back with a beautiful commemorative glass mug from the Walnut Room. Thanks Jose and Macy's for making my 74th birthday extra special!“

“Wow the staff here is so friendly and actually call out your name when your order is ready. I’m used to my order being served but not knowing until minutes after. Like others have said, the staff greet you and are attentive. Please give them a raise 💕“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing service by Kenny at the Starbucks – 2543 N California Ave, Chicago, IL 60647! 🌟☕

I came in around 7:15 pm and was honestly impressed 🙌. The store was clean, organized, and fully stocked—which is rare for that time of the evening. Even the restrooms were spotless 🚻✨, showing how much pride the team takes in their work.

I ordered the Potato Chive Bake 🥔🌿, and Kenny went above and beyond by letting me know that the Truff Hot Sauces are back 🔥. I was so excited to try them both:

🌱 Green (Jalapeño Lime) → mild heat, zesty and refreshing

⚫ Black (Original) → medium heat, rich and savory

Both are delicious and make the perfect add-on to breakfast sandwiches, bakes, or wraps 🥐🥯. Honestly, this little detail made my visit feel extra special.

The atmosphere was another highlight:

Beautiful patio with string lights ✨ and umbrellas 🌳☀️

Cozy indoor seating 🪑☕

A vibrant local mural 🎨 that adds character to the space

A water bowl for dogs outside 🐶💧 (pet-friendly touch I loved!)

This location feels welcoming whether you want to grab a quick coffee, relax on the patio, or get some work done inside 💻.

Kenny’s friendliness, attention to detail, and customer care really stood out 💚. Experiences like this remind me why Starbucks is more than just coffee—it’s community. 🌎🤝

👏 Truly a 5-star experience all around—thank you, Kenny, and the whole team for making Logan Square proud!“

“Nicest Starbucks I've ever been to. Always has the friendliest staff! Every location nearby was out of chai, but they offered to improvise something with what they had on hand and it was even better. Worth the walk even if there's another location closer by!“

“Very lucky to have this location as my neighborhood Starbucks. I'm new(ish) to the area and it's the first place I visited where several staff members made an effort to get to know me and be welcoming. The baristas consistently prepare top notch drinks and the store is super duper cozy to sit in. Bonus star for staff always giving the Andersonville pups tasty puppaccinos and water! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ This is definitely one of the best Starbucks in Chicago!“

“Every morning when I stop by this location the team is always very nice, but I want to mention Peter specifically who is always greeting me with the best attitude and warm welcome. He is always so kind and goes above and beyond with customer service and makes the best coffee. Thank you Peter for making our mornings a little brighter. I hope he gets recognized for his great service.“

“The girls here are awesome! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with such a friendly and warm atmosphere. They even kept me updated while preparing my drink, which I really appreciated. It’s incredible how good and friendly service can instantly put you in a great mood“

“As of September 2024 this location has been completely remodeled. So the old interior pictures are mostly what are posted. Same great staff & coffee and the perfect people watching patio out front.
I give this Starbucks location 5⭐️
Jerry (the pigeon) gives it 5 feathers.“

“This is my favorite Starbucks in the world. The staff always goes out of their way to be kind and accommodating! I am a regular here and within the first two weeks, they knew my name and order by heart and made friendly conversation with me (Shoutout Jorge). SUCH a great location.“

“I love this location so much. Its never too busy and the staff is so kind and sweet! I love going here because its close by to me and they almost always have the food and drinks I want. The staff also always goes above and beyond and I always look forward to my time at this location!“

“I ordered a mocha frap double blended almond milk no whip single shot and when I tell you this was the BEST drink I ever DRUNK it was made but the guy in black shorts and black shirt white dude was a professional i didn't really like the girl who took my order I smiled at her and greeted her in a friendly manner but guess she was having a tough day so service 2 atmosphere 4 (it was clean good music) food 5( my yummy drink)“

“It was a fine Sunday afternoon, skies were grey, clouds covered the sun. But didn’t cover the joy and excitement of our barista. She was the sun for today. Jacque was incredibly nice and helpful to us. She had recommendations for our drinks to make them better, advised us if the drink we were getting was going to be sweet or strong. Truly someone who enjoys her job and wants to make others day and I applaud her for that. Working in customer service is not for the weak. But someone like Jacque thrives in customer service and loves to elevate the experience for customers. Even wrote a funny note on me and my girlfriend’s drink lol. God bless her heart.“

“The baristas are so cute and their art are amazing it make my day!!
The only issues I have is that their matcha are very inconsistent. Sometimes it’s really good! Sometime it taste like water sometimes it’s very strong and the powder wasn’t blended very well leaving clumps at the top😭. Please do me right next time 🥹“

“This place is very inviting! This is the first time I've seen a new team behind the counter. They are just as nice as the usual team I encounter. As soon as I walk in, I'm greeted with so many hellos! The young man that gave me my Latte pronounced my name right and everything. I thanked him for that and he was glad he said it correctly! The kept the same energy for evey customer after me. The only people who complain about the staff were already in a bad mood. Complaing about not being able to use the bathroom or the music being to loud are just negative people.“

“This is the best Starbucks I've been to in the whole country. That includes various ones in Chicago, Los Angeles and Memphis areas. The service is good and they make your drinks just like you ask. When I come to Chicago this will be the only one I come to from now on.“

“I recently had an experience at Starbucks that truly stood out, and I have to give a special shout-out to Sam for their exceptional customer service. I walked into the wrong Starbucks by mistake to pick up my order, feeling a little confused, but Sam immediately made me feel at ease. Not only did they quickly identify the issue, but they went above and beyond to ensure that I still received my order without any hassle. Their kindness and efficiency made all the difference, turning a potentially frustrating moment into a pleasant one. It’s rare to find such genuine customer service, and Sam’s attention to detail and warm demeanor really made my day. This Starbucks is lucky to have such an amazing team member—thank you, Sam, for making my visit unforgettable!“

“I visit Starbucks daily, and this location truly stands out! Everything is always fresh and beautifully displayed. The employees are consistently friendly and welcoming. The manager here is clearly doing an excellent job running this store.“

“Wow the young lady this morning that made my americano with Toffee? It tastes amazing thank you!Update: this is one of the best Starbucks on Michigan Ave!!!This is the Best Location on Michigan! Every single time I come in, I get a Welcoming Hello, ANY ISSUES, they make me Happy!!! Yes!“

“The kindness of the staff here, quite literally saved my life one very dark day. I’m usually popping into Starbucks for an iced chai or macchiato but that day left with genuine gratitude for the humanity and gentleness shown by the gracious staff at this location.“

“This location wasn't busy this morning at about 7am. I walked right in and was next in line. The cashier was friendly and was able to answer questions I had about ingredients. My order was correct and came out quickly. I'd return.“

“My neighborhood Starbucks in Chicago is fantastic. The staff is not only friendly but also incredibly efficient. They even offer free pupuccinos for my dog, Micah the Messenger. They also have a nice outdoor seating area with plenty of tables and chairs, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a great cup of coffee while taking in the sights and sounds of the city.“

“My favorite location and the most wonderful workers. The art work amazes me so much . Thank you lady’s for your excellent service all the time. I love all the workers . I had to edit this to give a shout out to Layla thank you hunny for your awesome job.“

“Being a person with a disability, the staff was very kind and respectful. The person that took my order helped me figure out how to work the tap to pay with my phone (which always confuses me). The person who made my drink (Chai tea latte) was also very kind and got someone to bring my beverage to a table. The one issue I had was that the seating area was a little cramped“

“I love Starbucks coffee, is one of my favorites place to come and take my coffee. Is not the only place that I visit to do it. I coming here many times. My concern is because for the first time I ask for the restroom and the counter girl looking me bad.“

“Lady in this Starbucks works like unbelievable and is the best worker I have ever seen in my life and manager could care less. Her name is Lisa. The most polite and helpful and respectful employee seen ever. She makes my day and look forward to seeing her each and every day. She should by all means be the manager of that store and not the present manager.“

“May 13, 2023:
Before shopping at Mariano's, I enjoyed a Mother's Day Tal Choc. Mint Frap. WCH MINT SAUCE,FRAPP CHIPS, MOCHA DRIZZLE, WHIP, CHOC. MINT TOP FRAPPUCCINO COFFEE BASE FRAP RST. COF. WHOLE MILK for $5.81.

I am sorry now I tipped her $1.50. I asked for soy milk, but maybe the price listing doesn't acknowledge that?

Yes, I need anti-gas medication afterwards, but that could have been from the whipped cream.

This was my lunch.

The go-carts are messed up already and the new one is about 2 months old. Why?

I struggled to get to the check out line.

My SNAP Benefits of $130.00 disappeared. I am now paying for my groceries $126.09 so far this month. The COLA was not intended to subsidize a shortage of SNAP BENEFITS.

Perhaps once the debt ceiling is agreed upon by the politicians will SNAP increase.

Conditions are right for a Republican President in 2024. Imagine the flux of immigrants in our Supermarts pesting for our help, while $30 million intended for them in IL isn't being used.

May 2, 2023:. At Starbuck@Mariano I enjoyed a small coffee and blue berry muffin for $6.30 at Starbuck@Mariano's, before I shopped. Too expensive; I agree.

After I saw new Podiatrist, I had a cup of coffee at SBX at4015 N. Lincoln, with a delicious Biscotti Vanilla with roasted nuts.

Of course it was not cheap ---
$4.98.

Think SBX should give me a free cold icy frappe?“

“I stop in here every day for my cold brew with oat milk- The staff is always so fun and welcoming! Tenise and indira always are so sweet- They even wave when they see me going up the escalator! So happy to have this bucks so close to home.“

“Every Chicago bridal show I have breakfast here and I love how sweet the staff are and how well they manage to service everyone effectively during a busy event.

Just tried the lavender match oatmilk latte loved it !!! The madeleine are my favs too.“

“Daniel is AMAZINGGGG !! I’ve come to this Starbucks regularly and I’ve never had better customer service until I had a pleasant interaction with him. His service was excellent and communicated my order very well. I hope Daniel is there all the time when I go.“

“I wish the music was louder. I like to feel that I’m in a club at 7am. There’s nothing like bass rattling music while you’re enjoying your coffee. Nice employees, but they probably should smoke weed while in uniform(I know it’s legal now)“

“Reyna is a perfect. Mystery is how she remembers favorite drinks from the customers like me. I come to this coffee shop 1 time a week but she knows what is my favorite coffee drink. Amazing. Maybe I not spelled name correctly but she works at Thursdays after 5pm… and she deserves all best from the costumers. Thanks a lot again you make costumes happy :)“

“One layer can buy a small gift coffee beans, very hungry on the first floor together to eat a bite. The second floor is mainly a eating and drinking area. The third floor is the coffee area, the fourth floor of the adult happy drinking area, the higher the window view is more beautiful. This is the largest Starbucks in Chicago. Located in a busy area of Chicago.“

“Starbucks on Clark is super clean with an awesome contemporary vibe. The location is great, making it a convenient stop. The coffee is consistently excellent, making it a must-visit for any coffee lover. PROTIP: there is a 2nd door on Clark.“

“I came into Starbucks on 4701 S Cicero. I ordered a coffee this time. I had an issue with the quality of the paper cups; they dont hold up with the hot drinks. I spoke to the shift manager, Kayli. Kayli is an excellent manager/ employee. She heard my complaint and was sympathetic towards my concerns. She identified me by yhe drink I ordered? WOW WHAT AN EXCELLENT MEMORY.. She then explained that the nxt time I come she would make sure I had a double cup because that was my complaint. She has GREAT managerial skills. I called feeling upset and once I finished the call. I felt satisfied and heard. Thank you Kayli. Kudo's for Starbucks for hiring her. WELL DONE
Will be a repeat customer!“

“I normally don't review Starbucks but this one just had such a lovely atmosphere. For being inside a Target there's a bunch of little nooks to sit in and quietly work. The main area has big windows looking out on to the river and it just add to the already calming vibe of the place. My order came out quickly and was delicious! Also one of the nicest Starbucks employees I've ever met! He was super chill, really friendly and just added to the great experience of the place. (Thanks T.o!)“

“If I could give 10 stars I would. These workers are fantastic. They are always in a great mood, it’s a great way to start off the morning. To name a few of them, Tyan and Trice are so friendly. They know my order right when I walk in and I feel welcomed. Excellent job guys. You all deserve recognition!“

“It’s amazing how a simple “good morning, welcome in” can add to your experience, even if it’s a quick mobile order. The entire team here in the morning was so kind and happy. There are so many locations in the city but I will remember this one and come to this one over others going forward. Hospitality at its best.“

“My go-to Starbucks. Best staff around. Drinks are consistent. My only complaint is that like all Starbucks they prioritize mobile orders over in store ones. Therefore, there have been times when I've stood around waiting for my order while watching mobile orders pile up and no one coming to get them right away.“

“OMG! Queela and Sol were so kind and lovely! They got my order right AND literally made art 🖼️! They are awesome here and such a good, positive vibe! Very kind and hard-working. They were very cool ☺️😃grateful for their kindness :) customer service here is A+“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love this Starbucks on Broadway in Chicago! The location is super convenient, and the team is amazing—friendly, welcoming, and always making my visits a pleasure. The atmosphere is great, and the service is consistently top-notch. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“Starbucks strives to create a welcoming and inclusive environment, with a strong focus on fostering human connection and community engagement.

This 5-star ⭐️ rating is based on my positive experience meeting ⭐️Tott⭐️. I have stopped at this location (Grand & Ogden) several times and each time she is professional, welcoming, knowledgeable, and engaging. There have been times when I was indecisive of what to order but she patiently asked what I liked and offered suggestions and the drinks consistently exceeded expectation. I have observed her connection with other customers such as greeting them by name, or acknowledging her familiarity with their drink of preference.

⭐️Tott⭐️ is an amazing people person, amazing barista by far, and someone who leads in the role of providing excellent customer satisfaction. She is the reason I am a returning customer.

All the best, Tott!“

“I was grabbing a coffee as my postal shift started and as I drive up to the window, a wonderful person named Petra greeted me and complimented my fro. We chit chatted while we waited for my coffee to be ready and me being in a rush, hit my coffee on a package and dropped it on my own two feet :/. Petra immediately gave me 2 rags and redid my coffee. I was already having one of those mornings and she made it as bright as her smile!!! AGAIN THANK YOU SM PETRA“

“I don’t write reviews often, and really didn’t think I would be writing one about Starbucks - but I have got to say this was one of the best coffee shop experiences I have had. Nice environment. Clean well organized and looked like folks took pride in the place. Super friendly staff in a genuine way. Made sure I got exactly what I wanted with my oatmeal - and then brought our coffees over to our table as we hadn’t heard the shoutout. That doesn’t happen often and was highly appreciated. Coffee tasted fantastic too. All over the best Starbucks experience ever.“

“I get Starbucks daily from many locations. At this location, everytime I receive a plastic cup (cold drink) and put it in my cup holder, there seems to be a crumb layer of some sort on the bottom of the cup. The bar/counter probably should be cleaned more, and perhaps wipe the bottom of the cup before relaying. Has happened at least 10 times.

2025.01 Internet is so slow for about 10 other people on it!!“

“Christian was the BEST today… Great customer service .. he knew exactly how I wanted my cold brew after explaining to him … I love pumpkin cold brews but haven’t been able to get them anywhere since it’s over in many Starbucks ..actually walked in trying to get a vanilla cold brew… but he asked me if I wanted my pumpkin cold brew that they still had it available …and let me tell youuuu it’s so delicious he made my day! Thanks Christian you are the best! ☺️“

“Fast and friendly service. It was busy but the line kept moving and drinks kept coming in quick order. Waited maybe 5 mins on a Friday morning. The music was a bit loud, but it was a good place to stop and sit for a bit and charge my phone.“

“i came around 12:30 pm and the service from the employees were amazing the cashier vanessa was very helpful and patient when i didn’t know what to order she recommended a drink i got it and it was delicious!! most definitely recommend this place !!“
