“Came here the other day to pick up an order but i had stupidly sent it to another location. I know it’s almost guaranteed that they’ll honor it when you do that, but Chris was so incredibly nice about it and helped me out immediately. I also appreciated that he proactively asked me my name to check on my order after seeing me stand there for a few moments.“
“What an amazing experience. Every floor of the Starbucks Reserve was impressive, all the offerings amazing, and our barista Jeremy, provided us an educational and enriched coffee experience. We realized we didn't know that much about coffee, and the process for it to be served to us! Definitely would recommend this to anyone in the New York area (we're from California on vacation) wanting to enjoy an elevated coffee experience!!“
“It's my first time visiting this location and I like the design of the space when I first walked in. And then I was welcomed by friendly staff, and even got a special treat because they were closing early. I also noticed that the store was pretty clean. Will definitely come to visit again!“
“This Starbucks is always such a great stop! The staff are friendly and welcoming, and I really appreciate how first responder friendly they are. The location is kept clean and comfortable, and my drinks are always made just right. Definitely one of the better Starbucks around!“
“"Was roaming NYC and desperately needed a bathroom. Stumbled into Starbucks, not planning to buy anything, but The crew was super cool about it, no hassle to buy anything to use the restroom. Ended up grabbing a drink anyway, plus they threw in a spring coffee cup for free! ?☕️ Major kudos to this Starbucks for being so chill and friendly. #CityLifeSavior #StarbucksKindness #UnexpectedJoy #ReviewAroundWorld“
“Store # 7427- 1917 = 5 STAR rating because Cali was very patient and knowledgeable in explaining the differences between the coffee drinks which demonstrates great customer skills. Cali made sure my drink was to my liking and delicious. Cali is a great representative of this Starbucks ! The place was also clean and the ambience very cozy, spacious and comfortable.“
“This is my favorite Starbucks. The staff here are always competent, always in a good mood, and they always make great drinks. I really love this place. It’s wonderful that this is the only coffee shop on our island and at the same time the very best. Many thanks to the Starbucks team!“
“I almost didn’t go because of these dramatic reviews. It’s completely fine, there’s plenty of tables, I visited at 3pm on a Saturday and had no issue finding a seat for two. No, your family of 6 can’t sit down in this restaurant. If you’re travelling solo or in a pair you’re fine.“
“This Starbucks has consistently impressed me with its exceptional customer service. As a regular, I've never had a bad experience. The store is always clean and well-organized. The drinks are fresh and the staff is incredibly friendly. It's the best Starbucks I've been to.“
“Good service. Nice seating options. The seating area is rectangle making this location less cozy and more appropriate for grab and go. Mix of high chairs and sofas. Restroom present. I had a pistachio latte. It was tasty, The flavors certainly reminded me of pistachio but there is a slight artificial aftertaste. For the most part, one can ignore it. This is the inherent taste of the product and not the fault of the barista.“
“I had one of the best experiences I’ve had at a starbucks at this location. Katie as my cashier and she was so nice and lovely while taking my order. I was having trouble pulling up a coupon from my app and she helped me place my order with such ease and kindness. The inside space is very cozy, clean, and relaxing. My drink came out so quickly and was delicious as well( iced lavender oat matcha). Convenient spot since it’s close to the Q too. This made my day! Thank you again.“
“Came to Starbucks this afternoon for my birthday drink, and the two baristas were amazing! They made my drink exactly as I requested and even drew a cute birthday greeting on my cup. Such a sweet and thoughtful gesture- - - - - -made my day!“
“The best barista is Nash, she makes the drinks with a passion. She also knows her customers and remembers each drink, and how they like it. When she isn’t in the shop the quality of the atmosphere of the shop drastically drops. She is a light in this dark “
“Our greeter was Vanity and our Baristas were Miguel, Sebastian and Ben. As soon as we walked in the door they were so welcoming and Vanity recommended some amazing new drinks/food to try. Im moving in a week, but will make the detour to come to this store due to the phenomenal customer service“
“I love this place! It was my first time coming to this location and I was greeted energetically upon entering. I received my iced lavender oat milk matcha and ham and Swiss croissant in a timely manner. The drink even had a sweet message on it! And when I was leaving, I was bid a sincere farewell. AMAZING customer service here at this Starbucks location!“
“Went recently on my birthday to claim my birthday drink. I stopped in person to place my order. Kerri the manager of the location was amazing. She mentioned happy birthday and let me choose what I want any size and any preference of the drink. I was impressed by her great team spirit of leading an amazing team. The drink was made within a few seconds. I highly recommend this place for coffee.“
“I got an iced matcha latte here. It was really really good, but the sweetest matcha I have ever had. I don't know if you can tell them to adjust the sweetness level but it was good nonetheless. The place was clean and the service was fairly quick but the other person I was with was pretty sure that they messed up her order. She ordered black tea and thought they gave her a fruit tea. The prices were as expected for Starbucks in NYC, $6.25 for a grande. However, both drinks were good and I was honestly pretty impressed with my matcha, I will definitely be ordering the same thing next time I go to a Starbucks.“
“Honestly this is one of my favorite Starbucks in Manhattan. The seating is spread out nicely and not too crowded in the earlier mornings. In my experience with the morning staff, I’ve always been greeted with some of the best early morning energy. There is a bathroom in this Starbucks which, well as any public restroom goes, you get what you get.
But overall this is one of my top picks. The morning staff also work FAST I often order while getting off the train at the station right next to the doors here and my drink is ready by the time I’m walking up the stairs. Little things that make the morning better.
While my experience here is mostly exclusive to the mornings I still recommend this location above the 57th and Lex location which does not have seating for example ☺️“
“Exceptional Service by Ebonie and Team!
I can't say enough good things about the Starbucks on 95-96 Broadway, thanks to the amazing baristas who work there, especially Ebonie! No matter how far I am, this location will always hold a special place in my heart. Ebonie has a magical touch when it comes to crafting drinks that go beyond the ordinary. From the butterscotch topping to the brown sugar shaken espresso and the lavender cream frappe, she always knows how to surprise and delight me.
What truly stands out about Ebonie is her friendly and approachable demeanor, as well as her remarkable ability to remember her regular customers and their preferences. It's the personalized service that keeps me coming back, knowing that I'll be greeted with a smile and my favorite drink made just the way I like it. Ebonie, thank you for making each visit a special experience. You are the reason I choose this Starbucks location time and time again!“
“I honestly never thought I’d leave a review at a Starbucks if all places but this little step out of the heat to plan my day was a wonderful and noteworthy experience and that’s all thanks to the MidMorning Manager on staff.
1: it’s obvious their staff likes them just by watching their interpersonal interactions.
2: music was on point
3: it was clean, cool (temp), & entertaining
Whoever that manager with the Midwest, I assume Minnesota accent, is they deserve praise for running a very busy, tight ship with a smile and wonderfully infectious attitude.
Anything negative you read in the news would be flipped by some dung 5 mins here.
Thanks for making my morning.“
“✨ Regarding Henry ☕💫✨
Shoutout to Henry at the 540 Columbus Ave Starbucks, my Chai hero! 🙌 He didn’t just take my order, he put heart into it. My Gr Vanilla Syrp EX Chai Heavy Cream was crafted with true artistry hunny 💅💗 After two years in India, Masala Chai ruined me for American versions, but Henry brought me comfort in a cup.
Joshua and the whole team deserve love, but Henry… you’re the flavor in life that keeps us sipping! 🌸✨

“Today, I told myself I needed to take a moment to leave a review. As always, I can count on this Starbucks location for fast, friendly, and consistently excellent service.
But today was different. Due to personal issues, I wasn’t quite myself. Jodi immediately noticed and, without missing a beat, lightened the mood with a joke as she rang up my usual order. She even took the extra step to write an additional kind note on my cup.
I wish I had taken a photo before throwing it away.
This type of customer service doesn’t come naturally to most, but it's obviously second nature for Jodi, and I am so appreciative of my overall experience, especially on a day like today.
I hope this message reaches her. Thank you, Jodi, for simply being you!“
“I have only visited this store twice, the second time was a few weeks ago and I was served by a guy who brightened my day with his attentive, funny and respectful personality.
Hours before I got some bad news and had to go to work so I wanted to fix my mood by eating something sweet and this guy made me smile, that is why I give you 4 stars, also my muffin was very good...
I apologize because I do not remember the name of the guy nor the muffin, I had a lot to think about at that moment; he is a black boy with fine features and a face that transmits the funny spirit of a little kid, the world needs more people like him!
This experience was very different from my first visit to this store, where I was served by two white girls (again my apologies for not knowing their names and referring to their physical characteristics) but their service was not that good to me, they did their job quickly and mechanically as if they wanted to get rid of me quickly and I was the only one buying at that moment.
Because of that first experience I had decided not to visit this store again, but due to time constraints I had to do it a second time and this guy changed that decision I had made.“
“I work by this Starbucks and let me tell you they are the best they make the best drinks that I have ever tasted in my life and they never miss so good luis is the man that drink you just made me was sooo good sheee I'm actually coming again to get another one while writing this review 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆“
“Manhattan boasts numerous Starbucks locations, each offering a consistent and reliable coffee experience for busy New Yorkers and tourists alike. While the ambiance might vary depending on the location, you can always expect friendly service, a comfortable atmosphere to relax or catch up on work, and of course, their signature brews and pastries. For those seeking a more unique coffee experience, Manhattan offers a plethora of independent cafes, but Starbucks remains a convenient and dependable option for a quality caffeinated pick-me-up.“
“I loveeeee coming to this Starbucks location before work. The staff is super sweet. I come to this location almost everyday, and the customer service is always a 5 star for me. Special shoutout to Layla, for always greeting me with a smile and asking about my day ☺️“
“I recently stopped by Starbucks for a hot latte, as it was freezing outside and I needed something to perk me up. The store was beautifully decorated for the holidays, which gave it a cozy and festive vibe. It was quite busy, with lots of other customers enjoying their drinks and snacks, but the atmosphere felt lively rather than hectic.
While waiting for my coffee, I sat on one of the bench seats, which was a comfortable touch. My latte arrived just in time, piping hot and perfect for the chilly weather. The entire experience was delightful, from the welcoming holiday ambiance to the satisfying coffee that lifted my spirits. I’ll definitely be back for more!“
“The Best Baristas at Starbucks!
I don’t just go to Starbucks for the coffee (even though it’s delicious), but because of the amazing service I always get from the baristas. They truly make a difference. They’re kind, fast, attentive, and always have a great attitude—even on the busiest days.
I’m impressed by how they remember my order, even if I don’t come in every day. That shows they really pay attention to their customers. They always greet me with a smile, and even if there’s a long line, they make it feel worth the wait. They’re also super patient when explaining the menu or helping create a custom drink.
One time, a barista recommended a small change to my usual drink and now I’m obsessed. You can tell they know what they’re doing and care about giving you the best experience.
Thank you to the whole barista team for your energy, good vibes, and for making Starbucks a place where people truly feel welcome.“
“This is a medium-sized Starbucks with one accessible, gender-neutral restroom. The barista will share a code with your order. We ordered an Iced Green Tea and Cold Brew. There is limited half-booth seating and it wasn’t that busy on a Sunday afternoon in September. Would definitely recommend as a pit stop to refresh on your coffee or tea and use a clean restroom.“
“This Starbucks café is on a public plaza, Worldwide Plaza. While it is true the indoor café has limited seating and no bathrooms for customers, the outdoor Worldwide Plaza has outdoor facing public restrooms and ample outdoor seating with two other restaurants and a quiet, pleasant atmosphere with the fountain during warm months. To use the single person gender neutral restrooms (two of those) meet a security guard in yellow jacket or shirt and ask to be let in. The bathroom isn’t ideal, but well appreciated.“
“Stopped here today to do some work emails and observed this amazing staff as they maneuvered an unexpected NYC crowd. Kenny stood out to me as one of the baristas that will always make you smile , welcomed you as you entered the store and wished everyone a great day. One of the best teams at starbucks!“
“Service needs attention too. You have 3 employees, one in training, unable to speak up.
When busy now one else is helping to make the drinks only one person.
Customers who are not drinking coffee come in to get out of the cold but others have no sitting.“
“Really enjoyed my experience at this Starbucks. Ran in to grab a quick drink and dodge the rain. Sho was incredible; friendly, polite and attentive. She really made sure I got exactly what I needed. I can’t say the same about other locations I’ve visited but I’ll be coming back to this one.“
“This was my first time at this Starbucks and it was at the peak of the morning rush and, oh my goodness, did this location run like a well-oiled machine! It was incredible to watch how they filled orders with an unparalleled efficiency! It was like watching a masterclass in how a business should function. Plus, I just got the sense that all the employees were loving the process. It was like they all love working there and making customers' mornings better. I consider myself a morning person, but these were true morning people who deserve serious kudos! I ordered a Venti Flat White with an extra shot and it was great. Overall, a fantastic experience that did indeed start my day right!“
“I work relatively close to this Starbucks and have been on many occasions. Shoutout to the amazing staff who ALWAYS greets you when you walk in the door, and are always in such a good mood despite how busy it may be. Probably my favorite Starbucks in NYC. I usually order on the App beforehand. It’s always ready and waiting for me as soon as I arrive. This team deserves recognition for what they’re doing here!“
“This is a very well run location. The staff are consistently friendly, proactive, and fast! I’ve never waited beyond the estimated time for mobile orders, and it’s often much quicker than the app says. When I brought my toddler in, a manager (I think) gave him a free cake pop while we waited. That never happens! A great neighborhoods Starbucks during a time when the general brand is not doing so well.“
“I sometimes ask for a glass of water at Starbucks especially today that the temperature is so high: 87°F. This location is at Manhattan West. We got there to enjoy the public space and a delicious breeze made the moment pleasant. However, I had to send my water back for ice. They were open and gave me very cold water. The bubble tea was bubbly delicious ?“
“The service was excellent, with the staff serving everything with a smile. The café itself is spacious and cozy, offering plenty of comfortable seating where you can relax or work in a calm atmosphere. A great spot for both a quick coffee break or a longer stay!“
“I’ve been in NYC for over 10 years and by far this is the best customer service. I’m a new mom, and I’ve had challenges in a select Starbucks locations where I was not given permission to use the bathroom while pregnant. At this starbucks, I felt like I was at a friend’s home. I asked the barista working if there was a diaper changing table I could use, and they went above and beyond to also bring me paper towels and additional things to help me change my baby. I’d like to recognize this starbucks for their inclusive customer service approach to mothers and children, and I hope this can be encouraged across all locations. The barista that gave me this impression and experience is named Christian. I look forward to frequently visiting, making this location my regular.“
“Starbucks, once the market leader, is now struggling in the face of competition. Brands like Costa Coffee offer more competitive prices and a more ethical approach. The brand no longer innovates as much and its customer experience has become more standardized. If the quality remains, the competition has surpassed it in several aspects.“
“Okay the renovations are tea. We love. I came here for a quick double shot . And Al and his friend whose name I didn’t get I’m so annoyed cause he was just as great made my moment right . It was today 10/7 at 6:30 pm . The partner whose name I didn’t get had glasses and lots of pins on his aprons . He was great . Al was great . Great quick little experience. Will be coming back .“
“This is a very nice location. Clean and nice and efficient staff. Code for gender neutral bathrooms for ppl who patronize the store so bathrooms are clean too. Seats are comfy and you have free WiFi and charging stations. Seating is nice too. They have a pickup area under name in alpha order so it’s organized. Ceilings are tall and it’s a beautiful atmosphere. The music is a bit loud for me as I’m trying to enjoy a book but I have noise cancellation AirPods so I’m good. Don’t drive here as there’s no free parking or rare in the residential streets w alternate street side parking. It’s best to take the subway and it’s on 40th street and 3rd avenue one store shy from the exact corner of these streets. Convenient. Plus they recycle.“
“Waiting on my order and I noticed how friendly the staff is and that they really know their customers and their custimer's children! I have been to Starbucks in over 40 states and this location displayed the highest level of friendliness, caring as well as relationships with the ones they are providing for.
I can't wait to come back!
Kid-friendliness: The staff knew their customers' kids and interacted well with them.. noticing the little things (eg, doll has same outfit as child)“
“Impossible to find if you have not been here before.
I walked down to Whole Foods, was told to go upstairs and out. There is a Starbucks there, not this one.
Asked the Peleton Security. Finally found it in the lobby to JP Morgan Chase.“
“I had the pleasure of visiting the Starbucks located at 475 Park Ave, NYC, and I have to say, the experience was exceptional. The staff here is professional, friendly, and attentive, making the visit enjoyable from start to finish.
What truly stood out during this visit was the perfect rendition of the Dubai drink I ordered. It was absolutely delicious—flavorful, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. The barista nailed the preparation, showcasing a keen attention to detail and a genuine passion for their craft.
This location not only offers a consistent Starbucks experience but does so with an elevated level of service. If you’re in the area and craving a top-tier coffee, this Starbucks is definitely worth a visit. You won’t be disappointed!“
“I've been having HORRIBLE Starbucks experiences lately! But today my first visit at this location restored my liking of Starbucks. The girls were so friendly with big bright smiles on their faces, no attitudes just bright cheery smiles and EXCELLENT customer service! And they got my order right :)Will definitely go out of my way to come to this location!“
“The store was small, but the staff was super friendly and welcoming. They made my Frappuccino really quickly, and the best part is that it was free thanks to the rewards program for my birthday, it honestly made my day even happier!🩷🩷🩷“
“I rarely write reviews but I frequent this Starbucks during my morning commute into the office. They are always so busy during this time but they seamlessly & efficiently pump out orders. When I order ahead my drink is almost always waiting for me when I arrive, or very shortly after. It’s honestly impressive, they seem very organized even with the crazy volume at 9am. The staff are always so nice, offering in person greetings as I grab my drink, or writing nice notes right on the cup. The best part, no other location makes my blonde vanilla latte as good as they do. Every single time, it’s the best.“
“Big roomy S’bucks with high ceilings and elegant decor on a prize corner near Grand Central. Friendly service and spacious area for picking up drinks. Bustling business types talking shop. Third space galore, but also so gigantic than the app crowd goes in and out. Nice place to grab an espresso before strolling around.“
“What an amazing experience. Every floor of the Starbucks Reserve was impressive, all the offerings amazing, and our barista Jeremy, provided us an educational and enriched coffee experience. We realized we didn't know that much about coffee, and the process for it to be served to us! Definitely would recommend this to anyone in the New York area (we're from California on vacation) wanting to enjoy an elevated coffee experience!!“
