The baristas remember me and remember my drink. Kate is amazing! After getting my breakfast I usually park myself in the lounge and study until my next class. It's my favorite place to study.
Usually it's pretty good, but I got a hot "coffee" this morning and it was awful. It tasted like hot milk with some coffee in it. I've never had a Starbucks coffee that was like that. If I'm paying $6 for a coffee, it better have coffee in it. Seriously?
I was told they only serve collage people here even the collage cafeteria lets people eat there that aren’t in collage I was just visiting looking to enroll classes

Allow me to begin by stating that it generally takes a lot for me to write a less-than-stellar review on Google Maps, so here goes. As a whole, this is a very hit-or-miss Starbucks -- not the worst I've ever been to, but mediocre at best.
Their first and foremost failing is that, like all other Starbucks locations, they are far more expensive than they need to be for the quality of beverage and food that they actually serve. On that basis alone, I try to avoid not only this location but all Starbucks locations, because I simply don't feel that their prices are justified.
My dissatisfaction with this Starbucks location can be further illustrated by the following example. For context, this occurred in the last "open" week of 2020, several weeks after on-site classes were no longer in-session. I ordered a coffee and a loaf of banana nut bread, based on its appearance in the display case, from the first barista. I paid and waited for my order. The coffee was handed to me by the second barista, who seemingly had no idea about my banana nut bread. The second barista asked the first barista, who then informed her that they were out of banana nut bread (despite its appearance in the display case). I was offered other pastries but none were to my liking, so I requested a refund for the banana nut bread -- at which point I was asked to get back in line. Once I reached the cash for the second time, the only refund I was able to get was in the form of a gift card, which means I now need to go back to this Starbucks location to get my money's worth, even though I really don't want to.
I think that when customers are paying the very high prices that Starbucks charges, the onus is on the baristas to have an awareness of which items are actually on-hand -- and the further onus is on Starbucks to offer refund options other than gift cards.
I let the cashier know that I was in a hurry. She prepared and served several people's order who had been behind me in line before she mine. Because she was serving people who came after me I ended having to leave before I got my order. I lost my money. It should be first come first serve. This was totally unacceptable.
New location is pretty disappointing. Thankfully it isn't crowded or there wouldn't be enough seating, unless you're in a large group. 2 long tables for 8 - 10 people and a scattering of 4 tops with hard, uncomfortable chairs. There are 2 (only 2) comfy chairs on the south side of the large, impersonal, concrete room. The hand dryer in the bathroom gives 4 quick blasts of air and then you wait and wait till it finally gives another 4 short blasts. Beautiful display case with sets of muffins, loaf slices, croissants, etc. which they are out of. I'll wait to return to the Clifton location when it reopens after the remodel. Hopefully it isn't being made over into a cavernous echo chamber like this one. 👎
Ok so we all know people flock to Starbucks in the AM and around 3.....ok they need to have a happy hour half priced coffees! Cause if iam gonna wait 10 mins in line I want a discount and to keep coming back!! Pricy but who cares it's coffee PEOPLE!!!
Couldn't replace me leaking cup through the drive through.... next time you hand someone a drink make sure it's not leaking everywhere and the least you could do you just give me another cup
