I went to the Starbucks on 4th Plain in Vancouver few times already and honestly every visit has been pretty nice. The store itself feels very welcoming, with warm lighting and plenty of tables, not too cramped like some other coffee shops I’ve been to. The staff there always greet me with a smile even when they are super busy, and that makes a big difference. I ordered my usual iced caramel macchiato a couple times, and they always get it right – the balance of espresso and sweetness is just perfect. One time they even remade my drink without me asking just because they thought the first shot of espresso was off, which I really appreciated.
The place is usually clean, the tables wiped down quick after customers leave, and the bathroom is actually kept in good shape, which isn’t always the case at chain stores. I’ve also noticed they have a lot of regulars coming in, which tells me people feel comfortable hanging out there. I like bringing my laptop and sitting for an hour or two, the WiFi is reliable and the vibe is relaxed enough to get some work done.
Parking can be a little tricky at peak hours since the lot is shared with other shops, but honestly it’s worth circling once or twice because the service inside makes up for it. Overall I’d say this Starbucks is one of the best in Vancouver. Friendly baristas, good drinks, clean environment, and just a nice energy that keeps me coming back.

I am sort of turning into a coffee nerd, thanks to my buddy Aldo. We’ve been touring different local coffee shops in Vancouver. Of course, the coffee is good at all the different places, but they all lack something. Maybe they don’t have Splenda. Maybe they have slow service. Maybe no reward program, no free refills on drip coffee, etc. This Starbucks has ALL the comforts that I like. The staff is amazing and always friendly. I order a drop coffee when I ride my bike here in the morning, and they bring it out to my table. Later they’ll ask me if I need a refill or they’ll bring me a water. Refills are free. They have Splenda. They have the little plastic stoppers if you want to take the rest of your coffee with you. They have two clean bathrooms. There’s plenty of comfortable seating including a nice outdoor patio. They have a great rewards program. And they have several drip options. And the coffee’s actually pretty darn good. The interior is warm and inviting. I realize I’m putting more money into the hands of the “big boys” but this place is AWESOME! Don’t get me wrong—I love the local coffee places and exploring new coffee shops, but this place just has all the comforts that I like. I feel appreciated, served, and, well, HAPPY. In fact, while I was sitting I hear writing this, a lovely human just asked me if I wanted any water, napkins . . . How nice.

I'm not sure how I can place the same exact order everytime and get something that tastes different every other time.

I was never really a fan of starbucks growing up but recently started getting drinks and not gonna lie i’m loving their dragon drinks. i came here yesterday after a really bad day and the employees were extremely nice and friendly which brightened my day a little.

Not sure what’s going on at this location anymore but unfortunately this is the worst starbucks I’ve visited in the Vancouver area. This is my third visit the past two weeks as it is my closest starbucks location. They have managed to give me a different drink than what was ordered each time. Along with trying to convince me I will like what they made? Or simply refusing to remake a new one. Very frustrating, and very unlike most starbucks.

Drive thru works fast , in store to slow.......20 min waiting for the coffee cup.....
Sharing this on behalf of my husband who just got into the car and said, “well, that was lovely. I just had the best customer service ever. They were all so nice 🥺” he specifically mentioned Jude but said the whole team was nice. So, thanks everyone :)

I came in this morning on July 4th around 11. A middle aged women was on bar multitasking different drinks and she was amazing. I have been selling drinks for 6+ years so trust. I can tell how much of a pro she was. I also used to work at SB as well and she was handling those fraps/expresso bar/shaken drinks like a pro. I was honestly amazed at how she was multitasking. Personally I believe she carried that team during that shift and whoever the management at this Starbucks is should applaud and acknowledge how amazing of a barista she is. She was balancing between in store orders/mobile orders/and drive thru. Honestly amazing. Also my drink was good so it wasn’t like she was rushing and so quality went down. No quality was still top notch even at the speed she was working.
Clean, and good people work here!
