“I come into this location very often, so often that nearly all staff know me by first name. The service, food, and environment alike are all wonderful. I’ve never been in for a drink/quick bite and felt unwelcome in any way! Come check this new indy Starbucks out ?“
“Tiffany at the 71st & Binford location is THE BEST!! She had my order waiting for me as soon as I arrived at the drive thru window. She and all the Baristas at this location are always so friendly and always have my order ready when I arrive! Of course, it helps that I always use my SB app to place my order ahead of time!“
“Shout out to the drive through staff yesterday afternoon 10/9/24. I had just left St. Vincent's ICU where I lost one of my best friends of 17 years. They either heard it in my voice or saw it on my face when I placed my order. That coffee was the 1st start on my journey moving forward again without him. Thank you for your kindness.“
“Wow best experience ever, I became a loyal customer since 2014 and today I had the best experience from this location, all staff member are super friendly and kind, always with a smile 😊 , it just not coffee, it’s comfort and warmth from everyone here at Starbucks, where you feel like home“
“Peyton made my morning! I grab my 2.5 year old the same cake pop I always do, while running late to work, but today I apparently picked the wrong color ( typical 2 year old melt down loading…). Peyton was in the middle of making a drink on a busy morning, and noticed this all about to unfold. As I walk back to the register to get back in line to now get him a different cake pop, Peyton asked if everything was ok. I say ‘yes’… he was busy and I didn’t want to bother anyone with my child’s little tantrum. You could see on my face I was flustered since I’m already running late and just trying to get my 2yo out of Starbucks and on our way. So he asked again ‘are you sure? If you want me to grab you a different cake pop I would be more than happy to!’. Long story short he quickly grabs me a different flavor, and we leave happy with no meltdown. I know this seems like something so small to some, but you really don’t get that kind of customer service, or anybody to care about anything going on around them anymore… so it was a breathe of fresh air and GREATLY appreciated. Peyton, you’re amazing and I hope you know that this gesture made me switch my morning Starbucks run to your location every time ❤️“
“This Starbucks location is prime when it comes to convenience, and the service is always quick. I prefer to order through the app, which makes it super easy to get in and out immediately with a pre-order. The place is clean, and while there can be a lot of foot and car traffic, it all moves pretty quickly.
I don’t interact with the staff much, but whenever I do, they’re friendly and helpful. Great spot for a fast and efficient coffee run!“
“Stopped here on a roadtrip from Chicago, and was so pleasantly surprised! The 7am staff were SO nice, the drinks and food all came out in under 5 minutes (ordered 4 drinks and 4 food items) and the best part was that all the drinks were made perfectly!
Everyone in there was doing something which I’m sure contributed to us getting our stuff so quickly. What a great team they have there ?“
“I was having a really bad start to my morning today 3/28/25 and stopped here. the staff was quick, professional, caring, and efficient. I didn't see the kind enjoy! they wrote on my cup until I got to work but it turned my morning around. Thank you so very much.“
“This is my favorite Starbucks in the area! They are always quick with their orders, even when it’s busy. Even though there isn’t a drive thru, it’s convenient with the back parking and in a great location. The service is also excellent.
Parking: There is a free parking lot in the back which is really convenient!“
“Let’s start by stating what was ok about the visit
- store was clean attitudes were good
But there’s mores
My gingerbread chai tasted awful the barista behind the counter kept smelling the oatmilk, weird to I don’t think that’s very sanitary either. There was no foam or ginger on top it was like my drink order wasn’t even heard at first.
I asked for a remake but it seemed like it was an inconvenience for the barista in general.
The remake did taste extremely better and was the drink i ordered at first. Thank you for making it right !“
“My favorite Starbucks location! I've been a regular at this Starbucks for 15 or 20 years, as it's on my way to work. Today, I retired, and they remembered that it would be my last early morning visit. The staff there has always been phenomenal, very friendly, and well organized. I will miss the early morning team a lot! Cheers!“
“The entire staff was very friendly and precessional. Autumn was great.I purchased a travel tumbler. But when I walked to my car, filled with my coffee, the tumbler leaked badly. I took it back and Autumn helped me to find another one. Then, she made me another coffee in the new tumbler with a smile.“
“Great store, partners are so so nice, but I got a latte and there was about an inch of room from the top of the cup. I get not steaming enough milk but you should steam a short amount and add it instead of just handing it out. Starbucks is a luxury and people do not deserve to be shorted when you don’t feel like doing more.“
“Hands down BEST White Mocha made by Sweet Veronica!!! Had to post the last of the cup because there was no "syrup" sitting on the bottom. Stopped ordering this drink at other Starbucks because it never seem stirred. Now that I've found a great Barista, I'll get to order me favorite drink more! ❤️“
“It's not a bad place, but inside a Kroger , there is no sign for you on the outside of the store. Also, where i was staying that had up a pop-up sign to direct you that way and doesn't tell you where it is, just an arrow, no follow-up signs. And nowhere to park once you get to the store if you are just going for coffee.“
“The staff are always extremely friendly and even when out of things go above and beyond to find something to satisfy you. Plus - the walk up window is so fun! Always dogs and people around too to help make the atmosphere feel nice and welcoming.“
“Just everyone is always so nice here at starbucks.I'm not used to people being so nice at Starbucks. they got my order, right, it tasted good.It didn't taste watered down like most places.It was actually really nice and a good experience.They're always have a smile on their face, and they even gave me a pup cup from a little doggy.They're super nice.They're super sweet I suggest going.“
“Great drinks but sometimes things take to long because ppl playing around or talking to much rather then do it at the same time. Different shifts different speeds. Over all my number one spot for coffee. Love the lil messages left on the cups. Brings a smile all the time.“
“Even with a limited staff post Covid this place is amazing and goes the extra mile for all of their customers. The same lady is in there every time I go and she never seems to get stressed even with 30 people in line she remembers everybody’s drinks and makes everybody smile! This place is amazing“
“This is my second day working at this Starbucks, and I have had a nice experience in general. What made me leave a review was that the staff comported themselves with such patience, kindness, and respect when dealing with an autistic customer. I was very impressed by all interactions they had with this very atypical customer. The barista even comp-ed his frappucino when he didn’t have enough money for his whole order rather than telling the customer that he would need to remove something from the order. Excellent “Respect for People!”
Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair accessible table by the door and a ramp to get up to the sidewalk.“
“Located w/in the Hyatt, this Starbucks is a quick few minutes jaunt from the Convention Center, through the connected skywalk. Plenty of space to sit and enjoy your coffee - the pleasant huge hotel lobby is available. Quick service, pleasant staff.“
“My daughter and I very much enjoyed our visit to this Starbucks location earlier this evening. We were greeted by two very personable and friendly baristas. The beautiful and charming Lorraine, and her handsome co-barista, formerly of Fort Wayne, UK.Great service and kindness?abounded and their proper mask wearing was a relief.We will be back!Summer and GlynnaTo note:Of the 25 students students in Alumni Hall just outside of the Starbucks, 2 were wearing masks.Marian University needs to enforce their mask rule. There are signs posted.“
“Always in and out. Just how I like my coffee services. I had jumped in a line on my way to an interview and by the looks of it I thought I would be late. Their service saved my interview! Thanks Crew
Vegetarian options: They have many milk substitutes like soy and almond to go into any of the drinks served
Parking: Parking available but small lot
Kid-friendliness: If your kid likes coffee, get them a cup.“
“The staff in this establishment is very welcoming and always very professional services quick and efficient and even if I just got in there to sit down and use my computer and not order anything they're always very nice to me. This is how customer service is supposed to be. Good job!
Kid-friendliness: Not really for kids more for adults who need a break from kids.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking and entrance ADA compliant.“
“This Is A Very Nice Starbucks Cafe.A New Starbucks Cafe To Add To My Road Trip List Of Many Starbucks Cafe's That I've Visited When Passing Through The Wonderful Town Of Indy!Decent Moderate Priced Menu Full Of Different Delicious Goodies.Great Latte/Tea Selection's.A Variety Of Different Snack's ☕️ ??Don't Worry About Bad WiFi Unlike Afew Place's In Indy That Are Sadly Often Known For That Problematic Stressful Situation..This Starbucks Has A Awesome High Speed WiFi Connection For Fellow Laptopper's.?? ?? ???A Very Casual&Clean, Organized Establishment.It's Often Very Peacefully Calm&Quiet Here.Great For Reading A Novel While Relaxing With A HotCoffee/Tea/Latte Or DuringCollege Studying While Visiting.Dining Area Has A Fair Amount Of Space&Seating Seçtion's.I Normally Credit Starbucks Parking Lot's In Some Of My Starbucks Review's,I Can't For This One Because This Starbucks Is Inside A Target Store?So..? I Geuss I Can Thank Target For Having A Spacious Parking Lot For Starbucks????It's Just A Really Nice Little Starbucks Cafe To Visit That's Connected To A Shopping Store,Which Is Great For Those Who Luv Starbucks But Hates Target.“
“Love the people here but for some reason they only had two shots of espresso to their Venti iced lattes compared to every other Starbucks that does three. Maybe it’s a mistake in training and it could be confused since venti hot lattes get two. Unfortunately, it kind of ruins it though. Their ice lattes here taste like milk with coffee flavor:(. Staff is great though and they’re super fast! If they fix this one day, I’ll definitely change it to five stars!“
“I hope this reaches the sweet lady who did my mobile order! I was waiting for my order when a male Karen, I’ll call him Keith, was upset about the sign that said “Back in 15!” and asked how long I’d been waiting and I guess he didn’t like my reply of “just a few minutes, I have a mobile order”. He huffed, and puffed and did what Karens do, but I just resumed my music and waited.When the worker returned, it was obvious they were just beginning their shift as they quickly put on their apron. I waited in the mobile order section, and he said something rudely to me and that’s when I told him that I’m not his problem and he shouldn’t take that tone with me. I’m kinda sad because now I realize I think the barista thinks I was upset at her and that’s not the case. The barista made a really amazing iced shaken espresso“
“Starbucks should really higher more then 1 person to run this shop. The barista was working double time trying to get online orders and in person orders done. I felt bad. She did a really great job with the coffee she made. I hope they get her some coworkers soon.“
“One of the QUICKEST Starbucks locations I have ever been to. This location was very busy on a Friday morning and they were calling the customers name with their order probably 1 minute after ordering. Very efficient. Friendly staff. No complaints. All positive things coming from this location.“
“By far the best Starbucks location I ever go to. The staff this morning were amazing. The guy who took my order recommended the Earl Grey Tea and it was the perfect choice thank you . And whoever made that peach green tea lemonade was the best one made yet.. so thank you because that put my mood this morning on a good roll.. stay amazing 🤞🏽🤎“
“I'm a professional athlete in indy nobody at Starbucks knew who I was they all treated me fair and I was using wifi bcuz minutes gone on phone I hate phones. Every member of staff were kind sweet and never cared about me networking all day would love to work here. Great work and appreciate your great customer service and bathroom and wall charger. Im homeless ? and no fights till September.
Parking: South 10spots open great full facility
Kid-friendliness: They love your kids as well.“
“Great atmosphere and friendly staff make this my go-to spot. The standout feature for me is their fantastic breakfast food selection. From hearty sandwiches to delicious pastries, Starbucks always has the best morning options. Despite occasional wait times during peak hours, the quality of their breakfast fare makes it well worth it, ensuring a satisfying start to my day.
Vegetarian options: The impossible breakfast sandwich has to be the best vegetarian breakfast sandwiches I have ever had.“
“Every time I visit this Starbucks is a great experience, but there have been a few times Luna has been the partner there when I stop in and they’ve been amazing every time! They’re so kind, sweet and always make sure the customer is taken care of. 10/10! ♥️“
“Beyn was amazing and the other staff did and amazing job at trying to keep the flow going. It was EXTREMELY busy. Took awhile for our breakfast sandwiches but that’s because there was only one guy doing them. Still great service. Thank you“
“Sad to see low reviews here. I fly in and out of Indy a few times a year, usually catching a 6am flight and I am in line at Starbucks. The staff are diligent and work hard and fast. The line is full of extremely crabby, demanding passengers who are blaming staff for a long line, the fact that they had to get up and haven't had their first cup of caffeine, etc. Congrats ladies for having a good mood, working hard and not letting us passengers change your work ethic or attitude. Drinks are made well, right, fast and with great attitude.“
“Always get exactly what I order, quickly & with a smile, which is impressive with how busy they get ….and how unbelievably rude & demanding other customers are with the staff…. I wouldn’t last a day in the their shoes! Kudos to the crew “
“Although this Starbucks always seems to have the longest lines. Their drinks were really good. No complaints for this location other than the long lines.
Parking: This location has limited number of parking spots but ample, most people seem to use the drive up window.“
“We went through the drive thru and ordered drinks. I always get an Americano and it's easy to tell that the espresso is not quite right. It was watery and not very robust. We think the shots might not be pulling correctly. It also lacked color. That is always disappointing when you have already driven away when you take your first sip.“
“I haven't eaten the food. It does look good. That is why I haven't rated their food. I want to try some of the food. When I do, I will change the review for the food. I am sure it is good. I love the Carmel ribbon crunch Frappuccino and the mocha chocolat cookie drinks. They are my favorite!“
“I had a wonderful experience at this Starbucks store. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the fantastic combination of great food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere.**Food:**The variety and quality of food options available are truly impressive. Whether I'm in the mood for a quick snack or a satisfying meal, this Starbucks delivers. Their freshly baked pastries are a delight – always flaky, flavorful, and accompanied by a perfect cup of coffee. Their sandwich selection is equally outstanding, offering both classic choices and creative combinations that cater to a range of tastes. I appreciate how they provide wholesome and tasty choices that complement their beverage offerings perfectly.**Service:**The staff at this Starbucks store consistently go above and beyond to make every visit a pleasant one. From the friendly greetings when I walk in to their willingness to customize orders to my preferences, their dedication to customer satisfaction is evident. They handle orders efficiently even during busy hours, ensuring that everyone gets their drinks and food promptly. Their knowledge about the menu and their willingness to recommend items based on personal preferences is something I truly value.**Atmosphere:**The atmosphere of this Starbucks is simply inviting. Whether I'm looking to catch up on work, read a book, or meet up with friends, there's a spot for everyone. The cozy seating arrangements, warm lighting, and comfortable ambiance make it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. It strikes a balance between being a serene environment for solo visits and a social space for gatherings.In conclusion, this Starbucks store has nailed the trifecta of exceptional food, outstanding service, and an inviting atmosphere. It's become my preferred spot for both a quick coffee fix and a pleasant break from the daily“
“I went here in between my studies to get myself a pick-me-up matcha. It was superr windy out, and somehow, as I was getting into my car, a gust of wind blew the matcha out of my hands and onto the ground😭 i went back in to buy another matcha and the baristas made me one on the house. Such kind baristas, and they have good vibes :) Though there is no seating, if I ever need a mid day sweet treat, I will def be coming here.“
“On my recent trip to Starbucks, I had the chance to observe the service and taste their coffee, which I’ve heard so much about. From the moment I entered, I noticed that the staff was polite, but nothing particularly stood out. They greeted me with the usual pleasantries, and while they were professional, I didn’t feel a sense of personal connection. The overall vibe of the café was pleasant, with the typical Starbucks ambiance, but the interaction with the staff felt a bit routine.
The baristas efficiently took orders and prepared drinks, but the level of friendliness seemed more procedural than genuine. I wouldn’t say they were unfriendly, but there wasn’t a noticeable warmth or extra effort to engage beyond the basic customer service norms. While they were clear and helpful in answering questions about the menu, it was a fairly standard interaction.
Regarding speed, Starbucks lived up to its reputation for efficiency. Despite the moderate crowd, my order was ready fairly quickly. I ordered a grande cappuccino, and it was prepared within a few minutes. The staff worked in sync, and it was clear they were well-versed in handling a large number of orders in a short amount of time. However, the experience felt slightly rushed, as though they were focused more on moving the line than ensuring each customer had a unique experience.
As for the coffee, Starbucks offers a consistent product, but I found my cappuccino to be somewhat underwhelming. The espresso was decent, with the bold flavor I’ve come to expect, but it lacked some of the complexity I’ve experienced at other coffee shops. The milk was steamed to the right temperature, but the foam felt slightly flat, and the texture didn’t have the velvety smoothness that makes for an exceptional cappuccino. While the coffee was certainly drinkable, it didn’t stand out in a memorable way. I had hoped for a richer flavor profile, but instead, it was a bit one-note.
One of the reasons Starbucks has remained so popular is its reliability. You can generally expect a certain level of quality no matter where you go, but this visit didn’t leave a lasting impression. The coffee tasted fine, but I’ve had better at local, independent cafes where the attention to detail seems more evident. At Starbucks, the focus on speed and efficiency sometimes comes at the cost of a truly standout coffee experience.
During my visit to Starbucks, I decided to order a brownie along with my cappuccino, only to find out that they were out of stock. While this was disappointing, the staff handled the situation professionally. They immediately informed me of the shortage and offered alternatives from the pastry selection. When I declined and opted for a refund instead, they processed it efficiently without any hassle. The barista apologized for the inconvenience, which I appreciated, and the whole interaction was smooth and straightforward. Though it was a minor setback, their handling of the issue reflected a commitment to professional service.
In conclusion, while my Starbucks visit was satisfactory, it wasn’t exceptional. The staff was polite and efficient, but I didn’t feel a strong sense of friendliness or personalized service. The coffee was good but not remarkable, with a flavor that, while consistent, lacked some of the depth I enjoy in a great cup. Starbucks remains a convenient option for those looking for a quick, reliable coffee, but for those seeking a more intimate or flavorful experience, there are likely better options. Overall, it was a decent stop, but not one that left a lasting impression.“
“Well there’s normally only one person when I go in. I understand everyone is short staffed but the last time I went in poor girl was overwhelmed. I assured her I was in no rush and to take her time. Her service was great and she made my drink flawlessly which is not easy as I’m very particular about my cold brew. Will definitely continue to stop by when I’m shopping in this area.“
“Heerlijk verblijf in het JW Marriott in Indy! ! We verbleven bij een groep die de Bears / Colts-game bijwoonde en de beste tijd hadden! De kamers waren erg mooi en schoon en de service was geweldig! We hebben wat gedronken bij de High Velocity, en het was top!“
“Great customer service! My mom wanted to try the cherry but she's not a huge fan of cherry syrup (cough medicine taste Yknow?) So the barista (I forgot to ask her name) suggested raspberry. Since my mom's a bariatric patient she can't have a lot of sugar but the baristas suggestion and pleasant attitude made her day!! Thank you!!“
“While visiting my son in Indianapolis we stopped at the Starbucks at 5550 north Lafayette road on the morning of 10/11/24. We have patroness many Starbucks around the country and would say this was some of the most diligent and friendly staff I have encountered. To the person prepping the food and clear outstanding care she took to the young man working the mobile orders and drive through being extremely friendly and helpful. Great Job to this team!! We will be back.“
“This Starbucks location employees are very polite to customers and work very efficiently. I always make sure I come to the location whenever I'm in the mall. They've never failed to make my drink wrong. Highly recommend this Starbucks! Thanks for the coffee!“
“Absolutely The Most Amazing Coffee And Food Ever! It Tasted Like It Was Made With 100% Pure Love. Highly Recommend And Will Continue To Order From This Establishment! The Iced Sugarcookie Oatmilk Latte Is To die For! Hats Off To The Wonderful Team At 10th And Girlschool!!“
“Starbucks on 56th Street – East Side Indy
Mother’s Day Magic and a Barista Named Psalms
Let me tell you about the experience that touched my heart and lifted my spirit this Mother’s Day.
From the moment I pulled up, I was greeted by the most angelic voice I’ve ever heard at a drive-thru. Sweet, kind, and uplifting—her energy was radiant, and I instantly felt like today was going to be something special.
I placed my order for a white chocolate mocha (my go-to), and mentioned my usual frustration: Starbucks doesn’t always stir it well, and all the flavor settles at the bottom. She reassured me with the gentlest confidence and said, “Don’t worry, we’ve got an amazing barista on today—it’ll be stirred perfectly.” Her kindness was genuine, and her energy was contagious.
As I pulled up to the window, she greeted me again—and told me that the person in front of me had paid my entire $33 bill and wished me a Happy Mother’s Day.
Let me say that again: my entire bill was covered… and by this point, I was nearly in tears. Then I saw her. This voice that had warmed my soul had a face to match—beautiful, glowing, and full of light.
I asked her name, because I already knew I’d be writing this review. And y’all… her name is Psalms.
Like the Bible.
And suddenly, everything made sense.
Psalms 126:3 says:
“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”
That scripture couldn’t be more fitting, because in just one drive-thru trip, I received kindness, beauty, generosity, and a little taste of heaven.
To Starbucks: she’s a gem. Protect her, honor her, promote her.
To Psalms: you made my Mother’s Day feel like a blessing.
And to whoever paid my tab: you planted a seed of joy I’ll never forget.“
