βStarbucks Coffee Company was just okay, nothing particularly special. It was a pretty standard Starbucks experience with the usual menu and service.
The coffee was fine, and everything was as expected, but there was nothing that really stood out compared to other Starbucks locations. Not bad at all, just a normal and average visit.β
ββGreat for caffeine, less great for waiting while you contemplate your life choices.β
If youβre in the mood for a reliable grande latte and a few minutes of mobile-app scrolling, this Starbucks on Tesson Ferry is a solid stop. The baristas are friendly, the space is clean enough to pretend youβre checking emails in a fancy lobby. οΏΌ
A few quirks:
β’ When it gets busy, you might find yourself staring into your iced coffee like it holds the answers to the universe β and wondering why your chai latte is taking so long. Reviewers mention sanitation and prep speed could use a boost. οΏΌ
β’ Itβs dependable for study-sessions or meet-ups, but if you need βblazing fast service while simultaneously conquering life,β you might leave slightly under-conquered. οΏΌ
All told: Iβd go back. Comfortable spot, good coffee, minimal drama. Just maybe donβt expect the coffee gods to deliver your order via lightning bolt.β
βI do enjoy a special treat at Starbucks. This particular location (mason/Clayton) makes great drinks, has ample parking and are very friendly. I usually order a hot mocha but opted for a toasted white chocolate mocha at the advice of the Barista...it was delicious!β
βNo drive-thru and the parking lot isn't great. There's almost always right in front of Starbucks thanks to designated parking for Starbucks customers, but there is typically only one entrance to the lot (from Clayton Rd) and the lanes are very narrow.
The staff here are friendly, coffee is always delicious, and mobile orders are typically filled quickly. I had one long wait a year ago, but have been back several times since and my coffee is always ready when I arrive.β
βThis Starbucks is Drive-Thru and Walk-Up Window only. There is no inside cafe to sit and chat or work on your laptop. It is a grab and go coffee shop.
I didn't realize there was no inside, so I parked and walked up to the building. Only then did I realize how small it was and that there was no inside service. So instead of getting back into my car and going through the drive-thru, I took advantage of the cute walk-up window.
Before I could even push the call button, one of the baristas came to the window to take my order. She was friendly and did a good upsell, so I added a Small Vanilla Scone to go with my Sweet Vanilla Creme.
Another barista brought my drink and scone to the window and she too, was friendly and professional. If I am in the area and craving caffeine, I will be sure to stop by again.β
β5 stars for service. Helped me with a bad drink from another location when it fell apart halfway across town. This probably isn't policy but shows excellent service and accountability for the basic product of all the stores. Still, don't expect this good of service at this or any other Starbucks. They went above and beyond and I greatly appreciate it.
Read some really aweful reviews of this store here by people who apparently are just doing it to get a review under their belt? Someone saying why pay the price etc... obviously a newbie to both the coffee and review world. Also someone complaining extensively that that cant get a free trenta water anymore... threatening to never come back and acting like the employees had a problem. um.... thays been rolling out at almost every starbucks in the Midwest. It can't be easy for them to say no but taking issue with it only makes it easier for them. 3 decades of stellar free water is enough. Time to adjust. Take your small freebie of the best triple-filtered water in modern society and be happy, friends. Don't slam a business. Crabs in a barrel, as we all are until we get our Starbucks fix.β
βThe red headed guy that worked the drive-thru this morning is an absolute delight! He was so upbeat, positive and friendly with an infectious laugh. He definitely has improved my mood this morning. I was talking about him to some colleagues and one of them knew exactly who I was talking about and raved about him as well.
We need more of him! :)β
βGreat service at this Starbucks, but they've renovated (2024) and it is no longer one of the welcoming, cozy Starbucks cafes.....
I think Starbucks is trying to get us to spend more time at our local one-off cafes. :/
Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible and recent renovation (2024)β
βI havenβt been a Starbucks guy for a while nowβ¦preferring local, independent shops, of which there are plenty here in St Louis. But I live close to this Starbucks, and when we unexpectedly became a one car family for a few weeks, this became my office. And this Starbucks won me over. Rarely crowded inside, and the staff are so kind and helpful. The free refills on in-store coffee are HUGE, especially on long work days. And the staff proactively ask if I want a refill, bringing it to my table before I even notice to go check the bar. You get the sense they like having customers in store! Iβll just sayβfrom one Starbucks cynic to any othersβthis store won me over and has made me a loyal customer. Whatever theyβre doing, keep doing it!β
βThe coffees are great, we all know that. Honestly, the staff are so busy it just takes forever now to get anything. I don't even know what else to say. I'm used to it, but if I order 2 drinks, they come out 10 to 15 minutes apart for some reason.β
βI love to call out great customer service, Makayla and Chloe were just so nice. I was awaiting a long time for an online order, They asked me what I was waiting for and as soon as they realize they haven’t made so quickly and made sure it was perfect. :) thanks girls!β
βI was getting my morning coffee before I had to go work a long shift at the hospital and Brad made my morning just 1000 times better he was very nice, enthusiastic, and made really funny coffee jokes that just really made my morning better. I really enjoyed it and I just wanna say thank you Brad!β
βDeserves at least 4 stars. Ordered two drinks. Wait was just a little slow considering they were simple brewed coffee with cream, and an Americano (with extra shot & cream). Go for the Americano if you like your coffee fresh & hot - you won't be disappointed.β
βAs someone who has gone to other target Starbucks, this one is hands down the most amazing! I donβt think Iβve ever gotten a drink wrong and the warm kind greeting and hospitality you get from all the people working here is incredible! This is the Starbucks target to go too!β€οΈβ
βI seriously love this Starbucks! The staff here always make my day. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and patient, even during the busy rush. My drinks are always made perfectly (they actually pay attention to the details), and the outside is always clean for it being just a drive through. You can tell the team really cares about their customers. They move fast but still take the time to be kind, which I appreciate so much. This is definitely my go-to location and I always leave in a better mood. Thank you guys for being amazing!β

Thereβs a certain rhythm to mornings, and Starbucks fits into it like a well-tuned engine. You pull in, the world still half asleep, and inside β that familiar scent of coffee already doing its quiet work. No rush, no chaos, just a steady start to the road ahead.
ββ¨πΏ
Starbucks isnβt just about coffee β itβs about that small moment where everything aligns. A warm cup in your hand, a clear head, and a feeling that the day will go exactly as it should. Simple, consistent, and somehow always right πΊπΈπ£οΈβ
βI donβt often leave reviews, but today was a great experience. I came in from Taiwan and was served by a barista named Ani. She was incredibly kind and personable, making the visit enjoyable. Iβll be flying out next week, but Iβll definitely return just for the chance to chat again.β
βThought I'd grab a Christmas gift for a coworker. Buy a 5 dollar gift card, say "this cups on me" er something cheesey like that. I got a small pink drink as well. It's more than the darn gift card!! I probably can't buy anyone a good drink for $5. The smalls are very small too. Can't get a sip of strawberry flavored coconut milk for under 5 bucks? Why Starbucks... Yeah so I don't frequent da Bucks but dang it's expensive. Good taste and this particular one had good service but again, real expensive for what you're getting...β
βCoffee and food (breakfast) were standard Starbucks good. The music inside was kinda loud. To use the restroom (as with many Starbucks now), you had to put in a code. The difference here was they don’t give you the code - the manager put in the code.β
βTo all 1 star reviews, LEAVE. THEM. ALONE!!!!
They do their best to service you, Tower Grove is a DENSELY POPULATED AREA!!! Their store is small. Seriously, this is getting out of hand. Stop being so entitled, where is the empathy? Seriously. Starbucks is having understaffing issues right now. These employees work so hard, all of you customers, ALL OF YOU who leave one star reviewsβlike the one below meβyou are ungrateful, horrible, entitled people. I advocate for the employees here, who have treated me with nothing but respect. Stop being SO ENTITLED TOWER GROVE PEOPLE!!! You all are insufferable.β
βI swear this is the best campus Starbucks Iβve ever been to! The workers are always SO SWEET and my lattes are always PERFECT! They deserve so much recognition! My coffee is always perfect and delicious here, and I canβt say the same for other off campus locations!β
βI go to the Starbuck's Dougherty Ferry location nearly every day. I do go to other locations from time to time, but the Dougherty Ferry location is my home base. The barista's and the store manager greet me by name the moment I walk in the door. They know my drink order - even down to knowing I am a hot and cold drinker based on the time of year. They have become friends that get my day started. I spend a lot of time working there. It's a comfortable atmosphere and I get a lot of work done! Shout out to my Starbuck's peeps - Angel, Margaret, Casey, Chris, Jaz, Dez, Nancy, Sarah, & Paul (apologies to anyone I missed, but you know who you are)!β
βI LOVE! this starbucks . The team is incredible. Rahul, Pallavi, and Coco are so kind, customer service oriented, and delivered the most amazing experience Iβve had yet. They were patient with me and gave me guidance on my order. They also recommended my new favorite drink: brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso (with cold foam?). For a university campus starbucks, it is hard to beat this place. I love it here and will definitely return.β
βI Heart this lindberg location,
I like the staff,
They are -hard working-
down to earth,
and they always lend to the fun of my experience,
special props to Angelina who always sends me away with my cup and a smile.β
βStopped by the Starbucks on Jefferson around 5:30pm. The store was clean, well-stocked, and everything looked organized, which I appreciated.
Service was a bit slow, especially considering there were no other customers at the time, but the staff was still polite. Overall, not a bad experience just could have been a little quicker.β
βThere is a huge volleyball tournament going on and the hotel is packed. Starbucks obviously busy. Twice I came here today and recieved zero interaction/Customer service/friendly vibe from the cashiers. Man itβs frustrating. Weβre over paying for drinks weβre looking for at least an acknowledge that we are here.
Itβs Starbucks, so of course weβll be back but those two do not need to be behind the register.β
βDuring our trip here for the Nike MEQ, this Starbucks was amazing. They were well staffed and able to handle the influx of thousands of people attending. Their service was fast, friendly, and consistently good. One lady remembered our names every morning and afternoon as they were able to get our food and drinks out to us faster than any other place in downtown.β
βEven though they were overwhelmed with the number of cranky passengers waiting on their orders, their attitudes were immaculately friendly and upbeat. They pounded out order after order faster than I've ever seen a Starbucks operate. Love this Starbucks and will always stop by here if I have the time!β
βVery clean place, and the servers are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always with a smile on their faces. The cafΓ© also has a great view and is an excellent spot for studying since itβs very quiet and plays soft classical music. Our order was somehow mixed up, but they fixed it quickly and politely, again with a smile. The staff here are truly kind and absolutely wonderful!
Ps, the coffee is the same like every other Starbucks place ! πβ
