“Starbucks at Markville Mall is my go-to coffee stop when I’m in Markham, and it easily deserves 5 stars. It’s not just a coffee run, it’s a little break in the middle of mall shopping.
*Location + Ambiance*
Right inside Markville Mall, it’s easy to find near the main entrances. The store is bright, clean, and modern. Plenty of seating even on weekends, with a mix of tables for solo laptop time and bigger spots if you’re with friends or family. The mall background noise fades once you’re inside with your drink. It feels calm despite being in a busy mall.
*Service*
The staff here are consistently friendly and fast. During peak hours it can get busy, but the line moves quickly and the baristas remember regular orders. Mobile order pickup is smooth too, which is great when you’re rushing between stores. They’re always polite and they’ll remake a drink if it’s not right.
*Drinks + Food*
This is Starbucks, so the classics are always on point. My go-to is an Iced Vanilla Latte and it’s perfect every time – not too sweet, strong coffee flavor. The seasonal drinks are fun to try and they do them well. Pastries and sandwiches are fresh, and the display is always well stocked. Portion sizes are what you expect, and pricing is standard Starbucks.
*Why I love this location*
1. *Convenience*: Shop at Markville, grab coffee, sit for 20 minutes. Perfect reset.
2. *Cleanliness*: Tables get wiped down regularly and the washrooms nearby in the mall are clean too.
3. *WiFi + Outlets*: Great for a quick work session or just scrolling between errands.
Parking at Markville can be tricky on weekends, but the Starbucks makes the trip worth it. It’s reliable, comfortable, and the team makes you feel welcome.
If you’re at Markville Mall and need caffeine, a meeting spot, or just a break from shopping, this Starbucks delivers. Great drinks, great service, great spot to pause. I’m here at least once every mall trip.“
“Em, Daria, Claudia with the short dark hair (she came from another store and everything is better with her here), Achilles and Kernal were amazing and have remembered my order for the last 7 years and it changed 9 years ago. Love it here!!!“
“Ordered on the app and picked up via the drive through 2 days in a row at this location. The service is fast and the barista was very good and attentive. We liked the drinks they created and will definitely come back when we are in Markham area again.“
“I had a wonderful experience at Starbucks recently and felt compelled to share just how enjoyable it was. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and comfortable. The café was clean, well organized, and had that classic cozy Starbucks vibe that makes you want to sit down, relax, and take your time.
We ordered the dark roast coffee and the coconut coffee, and both were absolutely fantastic. The dark roast had a rich, bold flavor that coffee lovers will really appreciate. It was smooth, full-bodied, and perfectly brewed. The coconut coffee was equally impressive — creamy, slightly sweet, and refreshing with a subtle tropical flavor that made it feel like a special treat rather than just a regular cup of coffee.
To go along with our drinks, we tried the pesto sandwiches, and they were delicious. The bread was fresh and lightly toasted, the pesto had a great aromatic flavor, and the ingredients tasted high quality and well balanced. It paired perfectly with the coffee and made for a really satisfying snack.
What truly made the visit stand out was the overall experience. The staff were friendly, efficient, and clearly cared about making sure customers had a good time. Even though it was fairly busy, our order was prepared quickly and everything came out exactly right.
Overall, it was a fantastic visit. Great coffee, tasty food, and excellent service all in one place. If you enjoy high-quality coffee and a comfortable café atmosphere, this Starbucks location is definitely worth visiting. I’m already looking forward to coming back again!“
“Two things will tell you if you’re at a good location.1. Exceptional staff and baristas who don’t miss a beat, and 2. The quality and taste of the Nitro Cold Brew. And this location won me at that.I’m a bit particular about the taste of Nitro, and if its pulled wrong or the ratio of water that is mixed in is wrong, it can throw the flavour off. If the tanks and lines aren’t cleaned properly you can get a bitter or strange tasting beverage. There are a lot of moving parts in making sure the cold brew is up to par, and is usually a good indicator as to how much care the staff takes in preparing the cold brew (and likely everything else). That litmus test is what I personally use to know if I want to keep going to a location or not, and I never have issues here.Also special shout-out to JC who knew exactly what I wanted from my Nitro beverage. Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Keep up the great work. Cheers!“
“I usually enjoy coming to Starbucks, but today’s experience was disappointing. It seemed like there was a shift change, and even though there were only two customers, the employee who helped us was unfriendly and seemed to be in a rush. I understand that shift changes can be busy, but customer service shouldn’t be affected. I hope this is something that can be improved.“
“Great experience today! I originally asked for soy milk, but they were out. The server (who seemed a little nervous) kindly explained and asked what other milk I’d like instead. She handled it really well, made my drink perfectly, and it was still delicious. She did a great job — keep it up! 👏☕️ too bad I didn’t catch her name though..“
“Just wanted to leave a review because I had a great overall experience at this Starbucks. Kayvon was especially wonderful. He greeted every guest, was attentive, went the extra mile to make people’s day, was incredibly helpful, and even made a point of saying goodbye to everyone. It really made the experience feel warm and welcoming. 10/10—thank you!“
“I got the mango matcha drink that came out for summer and it was not very good. The mango foam was too strong with a very artificial flavours and the matcha was too weak and I could not taste it. My friend and I got a grande for this drink and the total came out to almost $16. I've had the lavender matcha drink from here before and it was much better. The drinks here are a hit or miss and are getting pretty expensive.“
“I had amazing service when I came, this is my go to Starbucks location now. Especially the baristas Kelvin and Mitchell, they make my day so much better whenever I see them as my servers. They deserve a raise for the drinks that they make for me.“
“Great coffee shop location. Workers are super friendly heard one of them giving direction to some people visiting and explaining what to go and look at on the main street unionville strip while they were placing their order. Great atmosphere inside and out in terms of patio. Just met with a friend for coffee to chat.“
