“This is your classic, completely reliable and predictable Starbucks, faithful to the brand. It is also nice, comfortable, lively and inviting. I was in a rush and the place was packed, but the personnel was great, hard working, enthusiastic, friendly and extremely effective in delivery. Kuddos!“
“This mall is quite busy, and the parking spaces can be a bit tight. Unfortunately, some drivers park in a way that can make it tricky for others to navigate, sometimes taking up more space than necessary.
The Starbucks is spacious but has limited seating, which might be a deliberate choice to manage crowd flow.
They could probably use one more staff member to make things run smoother. With only two employees, one of whom is making drinks while the other handles orders and immediate requests, the pace can feel a little slow. I was a bit surprised when the barista kept me waiting for a short time to heat up a danish for the customer ahead of me, though he was very friendly, kept me informed, and even apologized for the wait. I know it’s a small thing, but perhaps the busy parking situation made the experience feel more frustrating than it actually was.
The blonde via Clover machine was excellent as always, and the price was surprisingly reasonable at $3.20 for a tall—definitely cheaper than in Manhattan, where I often pay $3.76.
They have a beautiful outdoor space if the weather were warmer. Also 2 clean restrooms.
While I might not make this my go-to Starbucks, the nearby Electrify station was a great convenience when I needed that caffeine fix!“
“A block from the main entrance to Iona College. Only a few parking spots out front that are always taken. I’m always amazed that the parking garage (free) right next door always seems to have spots available. Grabbed a macchiato and a morning bun before the noon Lax game.“
“I have been a Starbucks customer for 14 years and the Beechmont location was my favorite. How does a new store manager fire up to 3 baristas within a short period of time? Those baristas always exuded such friendliness and superb customer service and had several years working at Beechmont. I will remain a Starbucks customer but will no longer go to Beechmont. All the baristas are excellent workers, however something is amiss at Beechmont. I know a few customers feel the same and don't go there anymore. It's possible some managers or supervisors, etc do not know how to supervise and interact with employees, but the situation there is sad.“
