Redcoach picks up Wright out front. Pretty cozy little area with three adjoining hotels.

Love this sbux! It's in the Louisiana tunnel, a short walk from Wells Fargo. EVERYONE AT THIS LOCATION IS SO NICE!!! Customer service is always great. I will say, be prepared to wait if you go around 7/8/9 and 11/12.

Luis provides awesome customer service. All the staff is courteous and helpful even when busy.

I know I look scandalous. You can look, but it's rude to Starebucks.Not to be confused with Storebought, which is what most of the products sold here taste like. Usually with Sbux, I want to swear about how bad they are - but then it'd be Slurbucks.If it was in Iran in the 1970s it'd be the Shahbucks. But then Ayatollah would come in and f*** the whole place up. Khomeinibucks doesn't have the same ring to it. And Bilbo doesn't have the same Lordofthering to it as the word dildo.I have a big sexual attraction to the tunnels beneath the bowels of downtown Houston, and understandably so because they're f***ing awesome, aren't they? There's some great little local restaurants down here, a few local chains, and then a few mega corporations as well, including a bunch of very predictable Starbucks locations in what seems like every major downtown Oil Skyscraper (and Houston has quite a few of those).I wish I could fly. Then I would Soarbucks. And if I could turn back time and not come here, it'd be Cherbucks.I think of all the underground Starbucks in downtown (in fact all the Sbux in general in or near DT HTX), this is probably my fave. It's not that busy because it's kind of hidden on the NW side of DT HTX. It's in the Louisiana (Yellow) tunnel, and it's directly under the Shell building, which is amazing itself as I'll say in a minute. If you're driving here in DT HTX with no hands, then perhaps you should Steer-bucks.As a side word, the enormous building that is built directly on top of this Sbux, which it essentially provides coffee for, is one of those former-WTC-like mega-structures that is so f***ing big and spectacular, and takes up a whole city block. So much concrete, so hard, Barbi naturally loves it. So it gets extra marks for that too.The Russian version of this coffee shop is known as "Tsarbucks", and the rival from Ukraine is "Czarbucks."Not to be confused with VAR-bucks which is the money it costs for the Premier League to institute the video replay system that isn't working very well for the moment.And - If they sold bad Italian American food it'd be Sbarrobucks.And like the Weeknd said, ha, ha ha, ha ha, Look what you've done. I'm at motherf***ing Starbucks.

We were downtown on business and needed some pick-me-ups, so the coffee drinks here were most welcome. It's a good place.

Great little Starbucks that is kind of hidden or in a less frequented portion of the tunnel. It's easy to get to and is faster even ordering ahead. The line occasionally gets long, but it's actually pretty rare so this has become my Go-To Starbucks downtown.

Prepare to wait so long that you just give up. 30+ minute wait with mobile order

absolutely overwhelmed by way too many customers. coffee is good, staff is nice, but it's too small and too busy.

Somebody should teach the manager the meaning of "compliment in public, reprimand in private"
I like this Starbucks, it's convenient and friendly, most of the time clean and stacked up with condiments, however, the line moves very slow. It can take a while if you did not order in advance on the app, even then it can take a while for your drink to be ready. You don't see a sense of urgency and can feel a monotonous mood in everyone's face, no outspoken personality, except for Hunter, which makes it very hard for me to remember their names because they don't make any impression. On the other hand I can see why that would be the case, I used to be the young adult in a part time job and going to school. I would say, give better training to you cash register personnel and pay them better so the good once don't want to become baristas due to a better pay.

Read the reviews and the common theme is wait time. Here’s why:STOP THE MOBILE ORDERING. Given its location, it’s for people who need to grab and go. Mobile ordering is increasing orders by 2x-3x, but you’re not increasing staff = long wait times. There’s 20-30 people jammed inside, all content to wait 25 minutes for their latte. I don’t know where these people find time. If you can wait 25 minutes for a cup of coffee, go out to another Starbucks with ample seating and waste company time there. There are no tables. This is not that kind of Starbucks. This is GRAB AND GO. I’d give it 0 stars, but the staff is friendly and likely over-worked. That’s the only positive about this locale. I feel bad for them. Same problem at Salata.

I visited at 8:40 in the morning and waited for 20 minutes. I requested to have my drink made next because I was late for work. Tyrell the barista there said no, I respectfully requested to please make my drink because I had been waiting so long. He then proceeded to say that I was calling him a liar and was yelling at me in the store in front of everyone. He told me to talk to his manager. When he finally let me speak, I said all I wanted was my money back. I will proceed to follow up with management for his aggressive behavior towards me.
