“I am not a Starbucks person, but I LOVE this location. Why? The staff is amazing. I’ve been coming here for about 2 weeks and you can really tell that they have a relationship with the customers that come to this location. For that reason, it feels cozy and calming in here. The staff is literally the best. IDK who cultivated such an amazing work culture among them, but it’s clear that they care to serve and know their customers.“
“Hands down this location is my favorite Starbucks in the Pittsburgh area!
Staff are always super friendly, helpful, and quick with making drinks. Compared to other locations this one makes drinks better, in my opinion. Plus, I’ve found this location to usually be clean inside and outside.
Great opportunity for premium people watching at this location, if that’s your thing. Also the indoor space has lots of seating so there’s usually space to sit down and chill out.“
“Got a breakfast sandwich, and it wasn't what I thought. Unsure if it was potatoes in the breakfast burrito or wjat, but it just didn't settle well.
My mom got a dragon fruit something or other drink, and she was disappointed, thought it was a smoothie“
“I give it four stars because it’s an average Starbucks, BUT absolutely stupid landscaping, they are going to get someone seriously injured trying to leave the parking lot with the shrub creating a monster Blindspot! You can’t see any of the traffic coming towards you that you’re intended to merge with! I had to sit there and wait for the light to turn red because that’s all I could see through the top of the shrub!“
“This store has consistently over the past several months given great customer service (even after absorbing customers from the other store that closed). Everyone is friendly, the manager is always making sure we feel welcome and he pitches in wherever needed! Thank you for your hard work!“
“This location at Virginia Manor Shops is one of the best in Pittsburgh. The store is always clean, well-organized, and welcoming. The baristas here are consistently friendly, patient, and upbeat — they truly make you feel appreciated as a customer. My drink was made perfectly, exactly the way I like it, and it came out quickly even though they were busy.
The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, making it a great spot to relax, study, or take a quick break. Plenty of seating, good vibe, and smooth service every time.
Highly recommend this Starbucks — they’re doing everything right! ☕✨“
“This location is a gem! ***And the staff are off the charts!!!*** They are warm, helpful, proactive, authentic. And they strike the perfect balance of talking to customers to make them feel welcome, but also stepping back so people can do work/talk to others in peace. How do they do that so well? It's almost like walking into a community center more than going to a business. I look forward to coming here everyday because they get my day off on the right foot. THANK YOU to this remarkable team. You are contributing so much to our community. And to the manager: Give them a raise!“
“Honestly, this is one of the best Starbucks I’ve ever been to. The energy here is completely different. The staff is genuinely friendly, welcoming, and actually seems like they enjoy being there.
I was there yesterday and ended up coming back again this morning, and the experience was just as good both times. Customer service was top tier, and everyone I interacted with was kind and personable.
It really stands out, especially compared to other Starbucks locations that can feel a little cold/transactional. Definitely the nicest group of people I’ve come across in the Pittsburgh area. I’ll absolutely be coming back.“
“Solid. Because it's somewhat tucked away and not as heavily advertised as some of the other Starbucks locations on McKnight it's able to have a very relaxed environment while not being obscenely busy. Also they have a huge parking lot so no issues finding a place to park if you just wanna chill and hang out.“
“Always a smooth and enjoyable experience at this Starbucks! The mobile pick-up process is fast and reliable—my order is consistently ready on time and made exactly right. The staff are friendly, efficient, and welcoming, even during busy hours. The store is clean, organized, and convenient to access, with plenty of parking nearby. I especially appreciate how easy it is to grab my drink and go without any hassle. A great spot for both quick pick-ups and quality service—highly recommend!“
“I’ve gone in a couple times since I work in the strip and everyone is always very nice. Today I made a passing comment abt how I was happy to have change since I needed to do laundry and John gave me quarters instead of a dollar bill for my change. Thanks John!“
“Love this Starbucks. It's very convenient (especially in winter) and accessible for the folks who work at Steel Tower. Friendly staff and fast service. Ever since the Starbucks in Omni William Penn closed, this has become the go to place for coffee for folks who work in and around this area.“
“I literally go here every day, without fail. They never have messed up any of my orders. The staff there is absolutely incredible. They are all so sweet and friendly. I’ve never had a bad experience here. Thank you for always giving me a reason to come back.“
“I’m usually not one to ever leave reviews, good or bad. But my recent experience here was fantastic! I’ve been drinking Caramel Machs my whole life
, and the one they made me this morning was hands down the best I’ve ever had. I didn’t catch the names of who waited on me or made my drink but it was the morning crew on Saturday July 26th! Perfect speed, perfect temp, perfect flavor ratios. 10/10.“
“this is by far one of my favorite starbucks ever! i am from ohio and have now moved to south carolina and i still dream of the caramel macchiatos that this starbucks made. the staff was always so nice and quick and even when it was busy we still got our drinks fast. the vibes inside are so nice and calming. to me, this is the best starbucks in america.“
“best one in the town i believe i order through uber eats every few days in the afternoon idk who makes it but my iced mocha caffé is always on point just the way like it i was looking for someone who knows how to make coffee for so long since i moved to pittsburgh. i appreciate whoever makes it. ❤️“
“Just came back from trail walk. I needed a place causal yet convenient for me. The Place just open recently. I like it. It's nice and smart. The service was excellent and fast. The Barista, Steve was friendly and efficient. I ordered The Spinach, Feta & Egg White Wrap was great washed down with VT. Pineapple Lemonade. So good. The ambiance is Smart so Shadyside I love it. Definitely coming back.“
“I ordered the chai latte as usual, and I used my alias Sam. However, they got Sam wrong! Unbelievable and preposterous. They wrote Sah. Crazy. Also, I ordered the grande and got the regular. Was bummed. Nevertheless, the chai was perfect as usual so it deserves 4 stars.“
“The location is great and less crowded than other ones in the area. Large space to study or for meetings. Staff were very nice as well. They also don’t put bunch of ice like some other locations in the drink and I felt they really follow the directions to make the personalized drinks. Very easy to get in and out. Definitely the best Starbucks in downtown.
**The blue drink tasted so artificial ( I tried one of the summer refreshers for the first time) but it’s the negative comment for Starbucks and not the location fault! I would come back for coffee drinks again :)“
“I was in the neighborhood and decided to go to this Starbucks. I ordered at the register and the person was Smiling and Happy. She took my order quickly and even got the special way I wanted it made. The drink was very tasty and was the way I wanted it. Service was very friendly and was quick. This Starbucks is very clean and decorated very tastefully. Thank you for a Great visit!“
“There are some things we know. Starbucks is good. Target is too. Why not combine them both?! The beauty of this location is that, despite its small size, it's conveniently located right inside the popular McKnight Target. No worrying about making an unnecessary stop beforehand, it's all in one place. They take points from the Starbucks app or 5% off if you use your Target RedCard! This shop has also been recently renovated along with the rest of the store, so it's up to date and fresh looking. I've never had problems here and the baristas/Target team members are helpful and up to regular Starbucks standards. They also have merchandise and seasonal flavors too.“
“I only had coffee. A flat white which was made with almond milk. Tasty! Busy location in Market Square. Ample seating indoor with window seating looking out on the Square for people watching. Good music waiting in the queue. Inner City vibe. Thanks!
Parking: Parking is limited to what's available on the street. I believe there's a parking garage nearby.
Wheelchair accessibility: The front door accommodates wheelchair accessibility.“
“I returned to the Oakland Starbucks today, near UPMC Presbyterian. Again, the wonderful team rocks. It was the first time in 15 years I ordered a Frappuccino because a team member educated me that they can make one not sweet. The espresso Frappuccino is fantastic. I'm happy this team teaches us .

“It's great that there's a Starbucks in the hospital but this also means that it gets very busy with patients and hospital staff. It is on the smaller size so it can also get crowded. I suggest ordering in advance.
The staff was quick and cordial and they efficiently prepared my order.
Overall a positive experience.“
“Got a matcha and it was fantastic! Person at the kiosk was friendly and helped me with customizing my drink! Overall this is one of the best Starbucks I’ve been too and I hope the company sees what these guys are doing and appreciate them!“
“The staff here are so so incredible. Although I wish the hours were longer for weekends, the workload they manage while maintaining the quality of drinks is amazing. I'm endlessly impressed how they manage to make all of the morning orders and still draw a cute doodle on my cup (although I don't believe the art should be a company requirement). They are the backbone of hospital staff getting through the day, myself included, and I'm very grateful to have them here :)“
“Very friendly workers! My Dragon Drink is delightful! The store is very clean and the bathrooms were as well. The fireplace was on and felt great amidst this cold
Dietary restrictions: Can accommodate
Parking: Only street parking
Wheelchair accessibility: Multiple wheelchair assessable tables“
“Skyler IS AN ABSOLUTE UNIT OF A BARISTA! He is efficient, rolls with whatever circumstances come his way, be it setup or customer he is on the ball! I work across the shopping center lot and make a point to get my espresso macchiato from here because of Skyler, GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE!!?? ✌?“
“The staff are truly excellent. Everyone is kind and smiling. In particular, I didn't even realize I had lost my wallet, but they found it and brought it to my car. If I hadn't found it, I would have been in big trouble. I would like to express my gratitude to all the staff.“
“Stopped in for a matcha between appointments, the space/atmosphere is really surprisingly relaxing and feels the farthest thing from a hospital coffee shop, which must be really nice for patients and their family.
The employee Rue (spelling?) is really so great at her job, i was stressed and my hands were full, and her demeanor and attitude were that of someone who is very patient and comforting. The blond haired younger guy making the coffee's also had a very gentle personality. This location is really lucky to have employees who are so genuinely nice for the sake of the stress both hospital employees and patients go through daily.“
“I wanted to leave a reply to the person who left a review about the barista making a “racial” comment towards his wife by saying the pull apart bread tastes like monkey bread - and how he said he’s sure that. I such thing exists. Well, yes monkey bread exists, and yes the pull apart bread at Starbucks tastes just like it. No one was being racist or incentive. They were simply describing how something tasted. I’ve provided a picture of monkey bread. Lastly, I wanted to add that the baristas at this location go above and beyond in serving the community.“
“Frappucino was excellent, but took a while to get it. Had more people (I counted 5) socializing in drink making area than working. Very focused on their conversations, so I had to wait a very long time in the drive thru, at the window, to get my drink. Finally a manager asked what I was waiting for, then it was made and I drove off. Otherwise, as expected for Starbucks- consistent taste, quality, and quantity.“
“Great atmosphere
Super polite baristas
Love the outdoor seating. It is large like the inside. Good place to meet up for conversation.
Will visit again.
Parking: Good number of available spots. Enough for a full house. Not shared on sides.“
“Located inside Market District Supermarket at 100 Settlers Ridge Center Dr, this Starbucks Coffee Company offers a great experience. Staff were friendly, attentive, and maintained steady flow during service. Beverage quality met brand expectations with accurate preparation and quick turnaround. The setup is convenient for shoppers, with a clean, organized environment and clear ordering flow. Overall, a reliable stop for coffee within a high-traffic retail setting.“
“👏☺️👏Enjoyable experiences over the years at this Pittsburgh-area Starbuck's☕My Mother's Day💐 Weekend treat of a Toasted Coconut Latte from the 🌸Spring Selections🌸menu paired with scrumptious chocolate pistachio-bread was perfect!🙂 Likewise, the pleasant ambiance, complimented by a sunny,
cloudcrowned skylight near the lovely glass elevator is so appreciated👍
Not far from diminutive yet bustling

“i was here last Saturday afternoon, it was super busy and it looked like only one employee was present, she both took orders AND made drinks in record time, despite an intimidating long line. I haven’t been that impressed in a while. Hoping a manager sees this, that woman deserves a raise.“
“This is most favorite Starbucks in Pittsburgh. The atmosphere is very clean and chic compared to other locations downtown. Anything I order is done to perfection, literally! All the staff members are great but Arianah is my absolute favorite. Her aura is very welcoming, she always seems so happy to be there and her insight on the is impeccable. I always recommend this location and you should try it if you haven’t.“
“I love the staff here! They are always so nice and funny also.tjeu remember my husband and Is ordera and always make them perfect. Yes it's pricey but it's Starbucks in a casino what do you expect exactly!? I come here once or twice a week depending on when I start work as it's the closest to my job and bus stop. Can't say enough they are wonderful!“
“This location 910 Freeport Road ( right outside of Waterworks Mall in Fox Chapel PA) is huge, very clean, and has subtle lighting, at least at 5. am, which I LOVE because bright lights hurt my eyes. The baristas were very kind and patient w me because it took me a minute to find my card. Everybody was friendly and I ordered the Peppermint Mocha Frappe and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!! ps, thank you for the Red Cup ❤️“
“I was very sad to find that the cherry chai was out for the season until Ashlyn suggested doing it with strawberry flavoring! She was super sweet and went above and beyond to make a customer happy and the drink was AMAZING! Thank you Ashlyn!“
“Starbucks at 202 6th St Pittsburgh, PA 15222 brews AMAZING Dark Roast Coffee. I love strong bold dark coffee. I have been to hundreds of Starbucks locations all over the United States and overseas. This location impressed me with the rich bold flavor of their coffee. The coffee was hot, fresh, and there were no grounds at the bottom of the cup. Absolutely perfect! The Barista was fast and professional. I also judge the quality of a Starbucks based on their electric outlets. They have multiple outlets by their tables for charging your devices. Thank you for serving me a cup of coffee the way I always hope it will taste!

“I was very disappointed this morning. Usually they do everything, right, but they were a little off. Well, at least the cashier guy was I asked him to give me the strongest medium coffee hot that they had and he just gave me a regular coffee. Which for all that I could grab one at Dunkin' Donuts or 711 i was Looking for something to actually wake me up other than just that one hiccup this Crew is Amazing“
“i have never had a bad experience or drink at this specific starbucks location, so i was a bit shocked to see such poor reviews! i go out of my way to stop here over other starbucks locations in the area - the staff, whether inside or at the drive thru, are incredibly kind and helpful. my drinks (which can often be the annoying, complicated kind) are always made quickly and correctly.“
“Ordered a classic Starbucks coffee. While it wasn't great, it wasn't bad and the atmosphere was fantastic. There were plenty of places to sit and many different options. I chose a high top in the window area to watch the snow. The interior was clean and we'll maintained.“
“I am from out of town so I don’t frequent the area much. Due to the mixed reviews I was hesitant to wait and order here vs going to a Starbucks before arriving at the airport. I was pleasantly surprised that my drink came relatively quickly (I used the mobile app to order) and that it was accurate. Staff seemed busy but were still polite. I did not order any food.“
“I visited Pittsburgh 3 times this year in March, May and August and I went to this Starbucks a few times during my visit and the staff is great. The manager there he actually remembered me from past visits on my last visit in August nice person. I use to live a few doors down from Starbucks there and when I lived in Bloomfield I went there everyday now I live in Florida but when I visit Pittsburgh I always go to that Starbucks.“
