Starbucks in Worcester

“I go out of my way to go to this Starbucks, as a former barista I care very deeply about the quality of my drink and I’m never disappointed by the grafton street location. They even remade a drink from the Route 20 Starbucks and were so nice about it!“

“As the crisp autumn air of October 21, 2024, filled my lungs, I found myself on a nostalgic trip through Worcester, perusing open houses in the area. The trees lining the streets were a breathtaking tapestry of green, yellow, and orange, their foliage a perfect backdrop for my caffeine-fueled adventure. It was during this excursion that I stumbled upon a hidden gem – the Starbucks at 24 Boynton St, nestled within the bustling campus of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).

For cafe nomads like myself, the holy trinity of power outlets, ample seating, and accessible restrooms is paramount. This Starbucks not only met but exceeded these criteria with flying colors. As I stepped inside, I was immediately struck by the spaciousness of the interior. The high, vaulted ceiling created an airy, almost cathedral-like atmosphere, adorned with sleek wooden beams and modern light fixtures that cast a warm glow throughout the space.

The store was alive with the vibrant energy of college students, their animated conversations and furious typing creating a symphony of productivity. Long tables stretched across the room, dotted with laptops, textbooks, and the occasional board game. Power outlets were abundant, a godsend for digital nomads and students alike.

What truly set this Starbucks apart was its unique cohabitasion with Jamal's Chicken, adding an intriguing culinary dimension to the standard coffee shop fare. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled tantalizingly with the scent of savory spices, creating an olfactory experience that was both comforting and exciting.

Large windows flooded the space with natural light, offer glimpses of the picturesque WPI campus beyond. It was a perfect vantage point to observe the ebb and flow of college life while sipping on a meticulously crafted latte.

As I settled into a cozy corner with my drink, I couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging. This wasn't just another Starbucks; it was a community hub, a study sanctuary, and a refueling station all rolled into one. The friendly baristas, spotless restrooms, and inviting atmosphere made it clear that this would become a regular stop on my future Worcester visits.

For anyone seeking a place to work, study, or simply unwind, this Starbucks at WPI is a must-visit destination. It's more than just a coffee shop; it's a slice of collegiate life, served with a side of caffeine and charm.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“I had a fantastic experience thanks to Paul, a standout team member at Starbucks. From the moment I walked in, Paul was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. I had a bit of a situation, and he went above and beyond to assist me—without hesitation and with a great attitude. It’s not every day you come across someone who truly cares about customer service, but Paul made sure I was taken care of and left with a smile on my face. Big thanks to him for turning my day around. Starbucks is lucky to have someone like him on the team!“

“Mike and Gaby deserve the biggest shoutout. Every time I come in, they go above and beyond to make my day brighter. They’re not only professional and quick with orders, but also genuinely kind, welcoming, and always ready with a smile. It’s rare to meet people who make you feel like more than just another customer, but Mike and Gaby do exactly that. They go out of their way to make every interaction personal and meaningful, and that kind of care is rare to find. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart guys. ❤️“

“The past couple times I’ve visited this location there were only 2 employees working (one on register and one making the drinks). They were both friendly and got my order right. The line was long and I waited awhile for my drink but with only two employees I understood and felt bad for the girl being overworked making drinks. She did a great job considering.“
