“Definitely one of the better Starbucks in Cincy and for sure our preferred location for the area. Parking is difficult and the drive thru is a nightmare when it’s long and goes into the intersection, but the drinks are perfect every time.“
“This location has the nicest person working there. I believe her name was Stacia. She was always welcoming, super friendly. Always haleping out. She gave me her own personal coffee collar because I had accidentally left mine on my cup and it got thrown out the day before.
Leaving 4 stars only on service because they forgot to make my friend' drink 2 days in a row lol
We went back just for Stacia!“
“Went through the drive thru on my way home and ordered a Java Chip Frappuccino because I wanted something sweet. The line had several cars but it moved pretty smoothly. My drink was thick, chocolatey and had plenty of chocolate chips. The employee at the window was friendly too, which is always nice cuz it brightens up my day“
“I go out of my way to visit this Starbucks location, even though it’s completely off my route to work, and it is always worth the extra trip. The team here is truly superior—they consistently get every detail of my drink order perfect, and the customer service is fantastic whether I’m picking up inside or through the drive-thru. I also really appreciate the diversity of the staff; you can tell that morale is genuinely high, and the team seems happy, which makes every visit a great experience. Highly recommended!“
“Stopped by on my way during an errand so I needed to cool down quickly and recharge for a bit. It was amazing. The cashier and the staffs was really friendly and let me stay at the store for a while! Definitely will comeback again soon! Loved the place“
“I have been going to this location for years now, and they were usually pretty good at making drinks, but for a couple of months now, I have been going before work, and the drinks have been very nasty. I usually get the blended Frappuccino, and every time I've gotten it, it just tastes like coffee and ice blended with nothing else added. That is not how you make a caramel, Frappuccino! I don't think I will be going back to this location anymore. I will still give it 5 stars for the simple fact that some of the staff is amazing . But the person making the drinks seriously needs to be retrained on how to make the Frappuccino. I hope they fix it because I spend alot of money here and it's not right for drinks that cost almost 10 bucks to be made wrong especially when you need it for a pick me up before starting a work day.“
“The coffee was spot on...nice and hot, just the way I like it. But the real surprise was that bacon and sausage breakfast wrap; it was genuinely delicious. I didn't expect it to be that good!
The only thing missing is a cold beer, though I suppose that would be a bit frowned upon at breakfast time... too bad! 😉 Definitely a solid way to start the day.“
“I've been coming to this Starbucks for at least 3 years and have consistently found staff the most joyful I've ever encountered. Love that they have so many regulars coming through, too. As another reviewer said, this place feels like a neighborhood coffee shop, not a mega-chain. The outdoor seating is mostly shaded and pleasant even in the heat of summer.“
“the girls here know what they're doin.they remember my drink they never get anything wrong and if they did they would rectify the mistake immediately. the only reason I don't always go here is because they don't always participate with the deals starbucks has which they don't have to. the other starbucks on colerain by 275 always finds a way to mess up my 7$ coffee and never makes it right. always a problem. and they have yet to rectify anything. oh well never going there again“
“I work next door it's so easy to order on my phone and walk one door over to pick it up. Almost always ready by the time I get there. When I get two of the exact same drinks, one is usually more bitter than the other but it's okay bc I just give that one to my husband. I feel for them when I walk in and there's a line and a whole bunch of mobile order people waiting to get their stuff. Must get overwhelming.“
“Needed some caffeine before work so I stopped by and grabbed an Iced Caramel Macchiato. I was still half asleep when I walked in, but the coffee definitely did its job lol. It tasted really good, not too sweet and still had a nice strong coffee flavor. The barista was friendly and got my drink out pretty fast too, which I appreciated!“
“This is my favorite Starbucks! With me being a full time student and working full time with long shifts, I often come in to pick up a mobile order of either a Strawberry açaí lemonade refresher, or a dragon drink! Even when they are busy, they are getting drinks out in a timely manner! I do have a crippling Starbucks addiction, but I’m fine with that at this point.
To the staff: I know I come in a lot, but I appreciate all of you so much and honestly those drinks you make help me get through my long shifts! I’m sorry that I come in so much, but without you guys, i don’t know what i would do lol
Overall, awesome service, awesome staff, clean dining area, and lovely atmosphere!“
“I dropped by Starbucks to study for an upcoming exam, and it ended up being a surprisingly productive visit. I ordered a vanilla latte and a muffin, and both were prepared perfectly. The barista was cheerful and confirmed my order twice before making it. I also appreciated how quiet and inviting the space felt, which made it simple to focus while reviewing my notes. Despite a busy crowd of customers, my drink came out fairly fast. Overall a wonderful experience, and I'll certainly return whenever I need to hit the books.“
“Never been to harpers Krogers starbucks before but pass it all the time! ? From what I’ve observed the staff are friendly & there’s a little area to sit and have your drink or snack! Also there’s a little stand to buy Starbucks products! I’m tempted to try this out myself and have a hot chocolate! Or two! Lol!“
“My review update. Team works well ❤, and i enjoy my coffee! Check the video how to find this hidden Starbucks! The worst cashier at Starbucks who may spoil your coffee joy or a day!)) I've had some unpleasant experiences with a particular cashier with glasses at this Starbucks location every time, and unfortunately, my latest encounter was the worst. When I requested an 'espresso ice shake with soy milk,' she responded with a contemptuous look and asked with an eye roll, 'What's that?' I tried to explain that it was a drink with a similar name, but her unhelpful attitude made me feel uncomfortable. Luckily, another barista intervened and clarified that what I wanted was an 'ice shaken espresso.' To make matters worse, the cashier then began gossiping about me in front of me while I was still standing at the counter. It was unprofessional and made me feel unwelcome. Another issue I face with this particular staff member was her impatience when I ask her to repeat or clarify something, even though I understand that accents can be challenging to understand. Additionally, I found it ironic that she was critical of my Asian accent when her own African-American accent was not always easy to comprehend. Overall, I was disappointed with the poor customer service and rude behavior displayed by this staff member. I hope that Starbucks can provide better training and ensure that all customers are treated with respect and kindness, regardless of their accent or background. This particular staff member may spoil your coffee experience, so beware“
“I absolutely love the Eastgate Starbucks! They make the most amazing coffees and always get it right. I’ve never had a bad experience at this location and the staff is always friendly. I also just tried the new hedgehog cake pop and it’s absolutely delicious, but the side eye it’s giving is the best! 🩷😆“
“The barista whose name I don't know was refreshing. I went to this starbucks before and had a poor experience, so much so, I decided never to go to that one again. Today makes it over a year and I only went for my daughter. The barista had such a delightful disposition. I asked for a green tea frap and she was not sure what it was. I figured that this location no longer sold it so I said to her that maybe it's off the menu. I gave her the opportunity to dismiss the request since she never heard of the type of drink but she asked me what it looked like. I told her and she made it exactly right! Wow! The last time I went to this place over a year ago, you could tell the person did not want to be there but this lady's customer service skills were so remarkable that the last experience has become a faint memory. The barista served me today Friday May 15th within the 5 o' clock hour inside the krogers. Phenomenal experience. She is a keeper! This is coming from someone who never writes reviews.“
“I headed to Starbucks to knock out some remote work tasks, and it wound up being a genuinely productive session. I ordered a mocha frappuccino and a bagel, and both turned out just right. The barista was attentive and verified my order carefully before preparing it. I also appreciated how neat and comfortable the setting was, which made working remotely feel effortless. Even with a nonstop stream of customers, my order was finished quite swiftly. Overall a great session, and I'll definitely return for future work days.“
“THIS IS IN TARGET. I was staying nearby and needed coffee on my way out of town and looked for Starbucks and didn't realize I was going to a Target, which I no longer patronize. It was one drip coffee. The workers were super nice. No line midmorning.“
“I have been going to this Starbucks location for years. I have to say I have tried most of the menu, but usually always go with my shaken espresso. Daniella is such a pleasure to see there! She always has a smile on her face with the best recommendations. Not only is her customer service great, her drinks are always very timely, very delicious and consistent! Definitely recommend grabbing a coffee from this Starbucks.“
“My 1st time ever at Starbucks. So I ask about cold coffee which I never had anywhere the girl at the register did help me understand about that.. I had carmel crunch. It was very good. It was hard to understand what she was saying at first thank God for“
“I swung by Starbucks to catch up with an old friend for a bit, and it turned into a genuinely pleasant afternoon. We ordered a hot chai latte and a croissant, and both came out exactly as requested. The barista was warm and politely confirmed our order before starting it. I also loved how tidy and welcoming the atmosphere was, which made chatting comfortable and easygoing. Even during a busy rush, our drinks arrived rather quickly. Overall a lovely time, and I'll certainly be back for future catch-ups.“
“The employees are so sweet and nice I tried to give them a tip but they didn’t have a jar. They dealt with some not great customers extremely well especially those without masks. One guy didn’t have a mask and I kept moving away from him, the cashier could tell I was uncomfortable and asked him politely to go get a free mask from up front. They are so efficient and friendly I wish I was friends with them. Please treat these employees with respect and gratitude.“
“Today I had the best experience ever at a Starbucks in a very, very long time. I had came in all flustered as I hadn't had my afternoon coffee yet today and was rushing in and out as I was already late for my activities later that day. However, when ordering I had encountered the kindest, sweetest, most humble souls today while ordering. Especially barista's named Meghan, Audrey and Ava, they were super helpful with me today as I don't really know much about coffee or what I really want on some days. They were very communicative, as telling me what the menu pertains such as different espresso's and lattes! Who knew there were so many?? When coming into Starbucks I just get so overwhelmed with how many options there are and they had calmed me down and helped me pick out what had fit me. As it turns out, they were right!The cleanliness of the area was spotless too, I was very impressed with the cleaning crew (if there is any) or maybe the baristas who had been keeping the place tremendously swift and excellent!Overall, they were so quick with my order, and very swift with other customers that I had noticed when I had came walking up and waiting for my order as well. I only had been there for less than a minute! My coffee was delicious and tasty. Thank you Meghan, Audrey and Ava!“
“I stopped at Starbucks to take a quick breather during my errands, and it turned out to be a refreshingly calm stop. I ordered a cold brew and a cookie, and both were made exactly to my liking. The barista was upbeat and double-checked my order before ringing it up. I also enjoyed how spotless and comfortable the shop felt, making it easy to unwind for a few minutes. Despite several customers coming in, my order was ready in no time. Overall a fantastic pit stop, and I'll surely stop by again during future errands.“
“Always come to this Starbucks cause they get my drink right! Just wanted to give them a special shout out because There was upper management or corporate gentleman from target or Starbucks front of me who was condescending to an employee telling her she made his drink wrong and talked down to her. Think you should probably treat your employees better my guy.“
“I have had some of the best Starbucks items there and some of the nicest service. There are always challenges and it's location in a Kroger's in a college area doesn't quite have the atmosphere but if you're looking for your Starbucks fix and you're near University of Cincinnati this is a good place to grab it while you get some grocery shopping done also or just walk down Short Vine afterwards.“
“Not a big fan of their house blend coffee but do enjoy a mocha every now and then. At busy times they seem
understaffed (but who isn't). Only go when my daughter is in the mood. Stopped supporting Starbucks years ago when the corporate office claimed they didn't support our troops. Can't in my right mind support a company that doesn't stand with our Americans in uniform defending our country..“
“I've been coming here a few days a week before work for a while. They are always open on time, and even if they don't have certain items in stock sometimes, they are very friendly and just doing their best. The manager who I assume runs this location (at least in the mornings) is a very nice lady and is always prepping, cleaning, and greeting customers. They always make my drink right and wish me a nice day, it's very welcoming. I don't write reviews often but they are so nice here! ✨?“
“I stopped by Starbucks this morning before heading into work, and let me just say—the service was a 1000/1000! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Aaliyah, who was absolutely amazing. Her customer service was top-tier, and she truly made my drink with love (I could taste it, lol). She even left a note on my cup that honestly made my day and got me a little emotional: “Have a great day, queen.”
The entire experience was incredible—the staff was kind and welcoming, the store was super clean, and the overall energy was just amazing. This is exactly how customer service should be. I’ll definitely be back!“
“I came here for a remake from a different store like last month, the remake was one of the best white mochas I’ve ever had in my life. Hence me thinking to leave a review now. It was an afternoon & made by a blonde lady. I haven’t had one as good since. 5/5 to this Starbucks.“
“It's always clean and the people are always nice no matter how busy they've been that shift. They just don't get proper order sizes for the amount of business they get. They always are out of at least a few things. But they really work with you to still help you get what you wanted despite the missing items.“
“I'm not always near this location, but stopped here to take a quick break, and I received this special artwork on my cup! What a nice surprise! My lavender latte and pumpkin pepita bread were delicious! I was served by smiling, friendly staff. I appreciate the extra time my barista took to make my trip special. Thank you!“
“Great service and exactly the way I like my drink made every time. And the service from the Baristas was very respectfully and good service. And I like a Carmel Maciato light ice, Carmel lined cup, with a lil coffee with my whip cream and carmel.“
“I use the mobile app to order ahead of time, it's usual done around the estimated time , some occasions it has taken a few mins more longer, it's a small location, drive thru can be a hassle especially if you're just trying to pick up, I suggest parking & walking inside, dont wait in the drive thru because it may be a while.
Also no sitting inside so it's just grab & go.“
“Grabbed an Iced white chocolate mocha after a long day because I deserved a little treat after my work lol. Drink came out perfect and the barista even made sure I got everything I asked for. It was a casual visit but the good service genuinely made my day better!“
