Starbucks in Kansas City

“Love their fast paced but they should start asking their door dash drivers that are working hard if they would like a drink to help keep them going sometimes because it would be so greatful for some of us I know me for one example I be working all night and begin to get tired and then getting the coffee orders I would like a coffee or something but I can't get anything because I don't have the money for something because I am in the middle of a order and can't afford it“

“I’ve been coming ever since this location opened and they truly never disappoint. I showed up super late to pick up an iced drink and they offered to remake it for me which was incredibly kind. It came out super fast despite them having to remake it, which was awesome. I always have such pleasant interactions with their workers and a positive review to reflect that has been long overdue.“

“Love love LOVE this place!!! The staff and the products!!!! I have a favorite drink that I stick to pretty much but I do buy other items and for other people. ALL the baristas know my name and my order!! Makes me feel so good!!! Thank you!!! I go out of my way and across town because this is my FAVORITE store I won't go anywhere else unless I'm forced to! ?“

“this is the only starbucks that i go too and im about to stop going there!!! there is only 3-4 people that know how to make my drinks and make them right and every time these new people or people that never make them mess it up they get an attitude it’s clearly printed on my cup how to make my drink i like it sweet with a lot of caramel and if you make it wrong you shouldn’t get an attitude when i’m nice about it every time. can’t even get my coffee today because it was remade twice and it still was nasty!!!“

“March 2026 - I’ve been coming here recently because my hospital is practically next to this location. Every time I’ve asked for light ice on my drink they have listened. They’re really on top of what the customer wants & I am very grateful! My previous experiences here a few years ago weren’t the best. I don’t know if they have a new manager but I’m thankful for the change I’ve seen at this location! Will continue to frequent here.

2024 - 1/5stars So my friend came through earlier today on her way down to my end of town & picked up Starbucks near her doctor. I very clearly ordered a trenta as it shows on my mobile order as well as the physical label on my tea.
The problem is when I called the person in the background told the worker I was talking to that it was the customer’s fault and that we needed to come back in to process a refund. The audacity to treat a customer like that when they’re remaining calm. I asked to talk to a supervisor & they put me on mute until I hung up. Rudest experience I’ve ever had at a Starbucks. Will be forwarding the info to corporate because I didn’t deserve to be treated that poorly. I never raised my voice, just very direct that I wanted to figure out how to solve the problem of a refund with a manager. Most unprofessional experience, I’m super disappointed in the employees who felt the need to behave that way.“

“Starbucks is honestly one of my favorite places to go. I always go there with my sister, and it’s kind of our little routine. Every time we visit, we order an iced caramel macchiato and a pistachio chocolate loaf, and they are both AMAZING.

The drink is always so refreshing and perfectly sweet, and the loaf is super soft and delicious—it honestly makes the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is really nice and comfortable, and the staff are usually friendly, which makes us enjoy our time even more.

It’s definitely our go-to spot whenever we want to relax and have something sweet together. I love it so much and will keep coming back!“

“I have been going to Starbucks on Antioch since it opened. In this time, I have never had a complaint about the taste of my my food or coffee.. I feel at home when I’m there and it is rare for me to feel that way about any place besides the library and my home.“

“Pulled into Kansas City after a 20-hour drive. Long road, zero energy. First stop after Costco — Starbucks. No experiments, just routine.

Ordered my usual — hot caramel macchiato, Venti. Same exact taste I get back in California. Not better, not worse. Just consistent. That’s kind of the whole point with Starbucks.

But this spot… feels different.

Walked in around 5 PM — almost empty. Quiet. No rush, no line stress. And then you start noticing the space. Big open layout, clean lines, those green walls with the arch design — doesn’t feel like a typical Starbucks at all. More like a place you actually want to stay in.

Grabbed a seat by the window on one of those leather couches. Solid, comfortable, not worn out. Table space is real — not those tiny “quick stop” setups. Opened my laptop just to check a couple things… ended up staying way longer.

Lighting is soft, not harsh. Everything looks fresh — floors, tables, even the bar area. No clutter behind the counter, no chaos. You can tell this location is taken care of.

Only thing — coffee itself didn’t surprise me. But again, that’s not why this place stands out.

Paid about $13 for two drinks. Compared to California prices, that’s a win.

This isn’t just a Starbucks you pass through. This is one you actually use.

If you need a calm spot to sit, work, reset for a bit — this one delivers.

I’d come back here without thinking twice.“

“I ordered the Oat Milk Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso and it was prepared wonderfully. It was exactly what I needed! The sandwich I ordered was lopsided, but it still tasted good. Overall, it was a great experience. The team was friendly, welcoming, and made the visit enjoyable.“

“I went through the drive- thru the other day and a woman named Amanda was at the window being extremely passive aggressive talkin about how much she hates her job and talking very ill of her employees....... Terrible customer service.... Ive seen quite a few complaints about that employee in these reviews, how has she not been fired“

“I have been to multiple Starbucks. This location by far is one of the best. The staff went above and beyond and was extremely kind and friendly. Not only was the Coffee Great, the atmosphere was wonderful. I recommend stopping in for a coffee any chance you get. Plus its just right around the corner from the T-Mobile center and Power and light.“

“The staff is always polite and service is always fast. Special shout out for Jerad as he's normally the one who is here and waits on me with a smile and something positive to say. A peppermint matcha is always amazing on these chilly mornings and helps get me through my work day.“

“Y’all hit this shop up!! Alexis and Zoe took amazing care of us! These two have done an amazing job every time we have stopped here! They need to allow these employees to take tips, they work hard and deserve them!!

On another note Zoe’s name tag had some amazing art!“

“This location is pretty standard like all the other locations. The only difference is that this Starbeezy is located inside HyVee.When you pull into HyVee's parking lot, the Starbucks sign on the building appears that Starbucks is in a separate but attached building however as soon as you walk into HyVee supermarket (the entrance with all the carts), Starbucks is immediately to your left. The store is fairly big considering it is inside another store.When I initially walked in the supermarket, there were a few customers. I did my shopping, then went back the get coffee and there was only one other customer ahead of me. The barista acknowledged me and told me she would be with me shortly. Soon after, she was ready to take my order.I order and waited maybe 2-3 minutes and in no time my coffee - medium, extra hot, cinnamon dolce latter was ready.I am satisfied with the service I received and my coffee.“

“I came here about 2 weeks ago unplanned, and since then I’ve been coming here almost everyday. I go out of my way bc it’s not the closest to home, but surprisingly they make the best drinks!!! Better than regular ⭐️bucks locations. Their espresso shots are perfect everytime. All the other Starbucks in this area and in gladstone have bitter/sour/watery shots almost always.
Also the managers here are so friendly, and every worker I’ve come across so far, my drinks are so modified and annoying I always feel bad, but they are so cool about it🥹“

“Starbucks is where my coffee journey started back when I had my first job. Gone are the days of venti iced black coffees or the occasional caramel macchiato / white chocolate mocha for indulgent runs.

These days, my go-to is the venti iced brown sugar shaken espresso. If James Bond were a Starbucks regular, I’d like to think this would be his drink. Smooth, slightly sweet, and gets straight to the point.

And then, because I felt like pushing it a bit, I added a few extra shots. Definitely felt it.

Also grabbed a slice of banana loaf (banana bread, let’s be honest). Surprisingly solid. Not overly sweet, no artificial banana flavor—just a subtle, natural sweetness that paired really well with the espresso.


It is a bit pricey. I do wish Starbucks made their sugar-free options more obvious on the menu. I know they exist, but I’m not trying to decode the menu every time. Places like 7 Brew make that much easier with clear SF labels.

This particular location is one I usually prefer. They’re efficient—even when the drive-thru line is long—and the staff is consistently friendly. Only downside is limited seating, and the layout can get chaotic during peak hours with Chipotle, Taco Bell, CVS, and other spots all packed into the same area.“

“State line Starbucks on the Missouri side:
I just want to give a shout out to Megan today! She was so friendly and helped me pick out a perfect pumpkin drink. You could tell she had a smile on her face when she took your order. When I got to the window, that same BIG smile greeted me. Thanks for starting my day off great!“

“I usually go through the drive thru. However one day, off NW Barry a bit East off 129..I had to go inside because there wasn’t a drive thru. That was THE BEST Hot Vanilla Latte Ever! I think they use vanilla syrup instead of the extract.“

“We serviced this Starbucks during a snow event, and the woman working (who I assume was the manager) went out of her way to take care of us. The first time we were there, she surprised us with a few drinks on the house, which honestly meant a lot after pushing snow for days straight.

The next time we came through, I fully expected to pay and told her I was happy to do so. She still gave us a very generous discount, and I paid for drinks for my whole crew. I understand that kind of generosity can’t happen every time, but that first gesture boosted morale, gave us energy for the rest of our route, and made us want to take extra care of the property.

That’s the kind of service that sticks with people.“

“This is the best Starbucks in North Kansas City! I stop by before work most days and I see the same 3 baristas all the time and they all greet me by name. They are all amazing! My order is always on point and they leave me sweet messages on my cup. S/o to Gia and my other 2 baddies (sorry I can’t think of your names) but you know who you are :)“
