Decent service, but they need to properly update their mobile app. I ordered salted almonds and a drink, which my daughter picked up. They told her they aren’t going to have it for a while so I should “think of an alternative.” That is silly, just don’t list it as available on your site, then I wouldn’t be able to order it.

Really friendly staff! But they are actually never open. They close at 3 everyday and shut down for weeks at a time, seemingly randomly. Everyone on staff makes the drinks well and the shop is always busy, makes me wish that they were open more!

Lemon cake and coffee frappucino was good as usual. Wait staff good. Surprised indoor seating (in Cranston), was not allowed. Only two tables outside had umbrellas and it was sunny and 91 degrees. The four tables were absolutely filthy! Tried to wipe with napkins but gunk had been on theses tables for awhile.

They are great people but I don’t understand how they don’t have half of what’s on there menu..if it’s on the site they should have it..very frustrating. If you don’t sell it then just take it off the website menu..Everybody is super friendly though and the staff get a 10/10 but the online menu just needs to have what they sell on it, it’s false advertisement..

Asked for no foam, still got foam. Asked for extra hot, was lukewarm.The mobile pick up is a joke. Was standing and waiting for my mobile order but never got a heads up it was ready....they sat it in the stands.....while other peoples mobile orders were sitting grabbable, but i couldnt grab or check visually if mine was ready; stood there for 15mins waiting on a ready order....Wont be coming back to this Starbucks.

This used to be my favorite Starbucks location. It didn’t matter where I was going, if I wanted coffee or food, this was my spot. The staff was always very pleasant, awesome at best.For the past couple of weeks, they have been bombarded with lots of “take out” orders. While great for business, in my opinion, it looked like the staff was overwhelmed. They were stressed and you can tell, these “take out” drivers were coming in through the door faster than we could inhale and exhale.On my last visit, I placed an order for my usual, coffe and a protein box. I walked in, noticed new faces and not my usual barista. The woman who gave me my coffee told me that it would be a few minutes for my second item, my protein box, which I’m ok with given how busy they were... After 5 minutes of waiting and seeing everyone who came in after me pick up their order and go, I looked over to the refrigerator from where I was standing and spotted a protein box that was exactly what I had ordered. I approached a barista and asked him since I was waiting on my second item, i see it in the refrigerator so can I grab it and go? He confirmed that it was ok... I went over to grab my protein box then walked out hoping not to interrupt their flow as it was a really busy day for them... At least I thought this was being a good customer with my silent grab and go approach. Well I thought wrong!As I walked out the door and started to turn towards my car, i heard a female barista yell at me from inside while the door was slowly closing “HAVE A NICE DAY!” This was upsetting because her time was very condescending. Along with when she chose to utter the phrase, it was definitely intentional. It wasn’t meant to be a positive salutation.While in my car, I’m feeling shocked and disappointed but I keep telling myself maybe it’s just the stress that she’s under and I try to reason with her unpleasant action.Needless to say, many people have bad mornings. I myself have had plenty of bad mornings but the next person you encounter can turn your day around. The Starbucks at Chapel Hill is crazy busy as well. We sit in that drive up line for long periods of time but no matter how overwhelmed, the baristas there, especially the male barista, has a way of always making you feel better. Sometimes a pleasant voice and smile is all it takes to turn someone’s bad day around.So I’m taking a break from my favorite location in hopes that one day when I return, it’ll be a better environment than the past couple of weeks.

Comfortable relaxing coffee shop with computer set up at some tables. There are tables outside too which are cozy. I dont like any of their coffee, it is too strong for me and leaves a bitter after taste all day. Bakery items delicious but I feel like I stand in line forever with enough people behind the counter

The Johnston store is very friendly and the people are nice. The Smithfield store made me feel like I was bothering them with my drink order. I felt like I was disturbing them almost. This has happened almost every visit. Ill go to Johnston from now on.

I know people think all Starbucks are the same, but this location is special. The coffee here is just better. Stronger and more flavorful than surrounding Starbucks. I live a mile from the North Main Street location, but I drive here for their coffee. Worth the trip.

This Starbucks is really just for drive thru. The staff is completely consumed with the crazy long drive thru lines and as a consequence, the patrons inside the cafe have to wait a totally not cool amount of time. This has been my experience time and time again. So, this is the last time I’ll be coming here. Big thumbs DOWN!

Review №42

I went here to grab coffee. First they gave me coffee which was all cold so I asked for hot one. The next they gave me was all left over coffe of the batch which was absolutely horrible. I threw away the cup right away. Was tired of complaining again. They should know last of the batch is never good. I would never come to this location again. I never had bad experiences in any Starbucks stores!

Review №43

Super bummed I didn’t get to catch the name in the Barista’s pun so that they could receive proper credit. My mobile order was slower than usual, but I’m pretty sure it was for good reason. As with all coffee spots in any town within 20 minutes of Providence on a weekend morning they were busy. There was one barista making beverages... like a boss. Those that frequent this location may know who I’m talking about.

Just purchased a nitro cold brew at drive thru and the coffee is so light it looks like brewed tea. A $5.00 coffee is a treat for me....what a disappointment.

This Starbucks is located among the Shoppes of Garden City Center in Cranston, RI. It has a welcoming environment. The cafe is clean and well kept. The baristas took the time to get my order correct and suggested a different item as one of the items I wanted were not available. I was excited to complete a Starbucks challenge by ordering my first breakfast sandwich. The sandwich was well-made and tasty. I recommend this Starbucks for their clean and sunny environment.

I tried to use a gift card on my phone here and they tried to use it then told me they wouldnt take it. They said that the code should be 4 digits and was too long and had too many digits so they didnt even try and use it for me when i know it was a legitmitate gift card. The management gave me only 2 seconds of their time and didnt care at all about my concern that their gift card wont work. Dont ever come here if you want to use a gift card they wont let you and will give you a bunch of problems.
