Dulce was an absolute sweetheart while we were unsure of what we wanted to order. We had come through a half hour before close and she was incredibly patient and a pleasure to talk to. She went above and beyond to show us the current stock of cups because we could not enter the lobby at that time.

This Starbucks is definitely hit or miss. When I go in the morning my drink is perfect however every time I go in the afternoon it is not. I order the same drink every time and as a former partner I know what it should look and taste like and every afternoon it’s wrong. I wish everything was consistent I love Starbucks and want to continue to support my local one however it looks like I will just be doing it in the morning.

Love this Starbucks and was excited they had caramel Frappuccino. Best as always

Starbucks is going down hill in my opinion. They are allowing dogs to lay on the tables, not the least bit concerned about wiping down tables after people leave. They are terrible at making pour overs, they get to it when they have time. And they could not have disappointed me any more then they did today.

We arent very big coffee drinkers but my daughter likes to go once and a while. Last time her and I went the girl at the counter was very nice and helpful with explaining what the different drinks were and what was in them. It was very a clean and pleasant atmosphere.

My favorite Starbucks locally! Friendly, and. knowledgeable Staff are top-notch. The atmosphere of the store is also nice. Drive-thru line can be long, bu they usually get people thru the drive quickly. They seem to care more about getting to know their customers than the other local store.

The best place in town to get coffee, here or the one on campus. The service is always above and beyond with some of the most courteous staff members working the counter. The only real complaint, this coffee joint is pricey, but it is Starbucks.

Overall this is a pretty good place. A few critiques though would be to train your staff to make eye contact when speaking to customers. The other suggestion would be to hire a window cleaning service to clean the exterior windows. They are extremely filthy and it makes the exterior look run-down.

6/20/21. Went and order my usual coffee, and they told me they forgot my cold foam, even though its clearly on the tag. They then refused to make me the correct drink I ordered and paid for, even though it was their mistake. Never again.

The drinks are a hit or miss from my experiences. I ordered a hot pumpkin spice latte? Which only tasted like hot milk with a little sweetness to it. More recently ordered an iced peppermint mocha, which was pretty decent. I will say the employees are usually very pleasant there.

I come here quite a bit to catch up on work and try various assortment of coffees. I like that I can order drinks the way I want them - less sugar and uncafinated (othwise I would bounce off the walls all night). The staff is usually pretty good with calling names and getting drinks out in a timely manor. There are some occassions were they get swamped with orders and it does take time.

STEPHANIE!!!! We just had our best Starbucks encounter ever just because of her. Her bubbly and upbeat personality made our whole day. You all are very blessed to have such an amazing person working at your establishment. Of course we love the food and drinks, but this 5 star review is all for her. Also in case it doesn’t show the location it was the Starbucks at 38 and Annie Glidden in Dekalb, Illinois. Thank you Stephanie!!!

Went there today around 7am, the drive thru was full so I went inside and was ignored by 3 people standing behind the counter. After about 5 minutes of waiting and be if the guys said the lobby is closed I have to go through the drive through. I just watched two other people leave there with coffee but I couldn’t order inside????

Best place to go and get a coffee its neat and clean. The staff are nice and well trained. The food was amazing but pricey like always. There is a nice vibe there with many people but great to chill and relax when you need a space to study or just hang with friends.

Order in the app and pick up in store. Once pick up in store, my sandwich wasn’t available so had to substitute with another that had to be prepared. Barista just left sandwich on counter and didn’t communicate it was ready.

I went to this Starbucks in the drive-thru after driving a half hour to get there. The male taking my order didn’t seem to care to hear my drink order properly and assumed what I was trying to say. When I got to the window, I asked for a receipt and they never gave me one. Both of my drinks were made wrong even after I tried to correct them. The staff had a terrible attitude and no patience. Worst experience I’ve had at a Starbucks and I paid over $10 for basically, two black coffees.

Review №52

A really nice and lovely place to work or study. What I love about this Starbucks, specifically, is that they offer a number of comfortable chairs and that during the day it’s always very bright inside because the whole place place is surrounded by big windows allowing decent sunlight in. It is slightly bigger than the Starbucks in Dekalb which means better chance of finding a table.

Seems to be better since the old manager left (which was an improvement over the one prior as well)...so theyre going in the right direction. More consistency with order taking would be the next step!

Review №57

For some reason both sycamore Starbucks are not worth wasting money on. I understand drinks are hand crafted but they consistently get the order wrong and it varies from the universal taste of the same drink at other Starbucks. I drink chi tea and the pump of syrup is always less than the other Starbucks I go to. Drinks are usually lukewarm. I wont go to this Starbucks anymore because its not good. At least the drink I order.

Review №58

Lovely coffee shop ☕️ tucked away from Sycamore Road. You know it’s a good Starbucks location when you roll up at 6am and there’s already a line of regulars waiting for their coffee and the cafe itself is filled with students and professionals who are looking to get some work done. This particular cafe is run fairly efficiently and the staff was very friendly. I plan on going back again soon.

Guys/gals - sorry, you forced me to leave a review. I always ask for one cream. My coffee looks light tan, I am semi lactose intolerant and it looks like about 5-6 creamers in there right now. Do me a solid, have a meeting, add one creamer to a coffee and have your employees look at the color so they may get a visual reference. One cream means one cream. My coffee is gross right now!!!!!

Review №64

If you order using the app, give yourself about 5-10 extra minutes before you get your drink beyond what they say the timing is on it. I get the feeling that this location doesnt have much experience with app orders; any other Starbucks I go, I always get my order right around the time that the app says its ready.Also, check your order if you do make it through the app. Ive gotten whipped cream when I specifically asked not to have whipped cream (it makes me VERY sick).The staff here are really good about making things right if they should go wrong, and if you order in house (highly recommended), it is without error. Expect long wait times during peak times and weekends, and during exam times. This is one of the few places that has WiFi around here.The atmosphere is calm and relaxed. I dont bring my laptop here, often just read one of the papers on hand or something on my phone, but its a good place to just take a breather and enjoy your coffee/food.

Nothing really against this Starbucks, I just dont understand paying so much money for a cup of OK coffee and really dont understand the high calorie fancy drinks. To each his own. I have other places I would like to spend my money and my calories.

I stop here most days before my 45-minute commute. I usually only get coffee, unless its a free espresso with a star reward. Ive also set up shop here to work remote a few times, Ive been in for an evening snack a few times, and Ive stopped in randomly on weekends with my family. Its a consistently positive experience. The product is what it is - its the service that sets Starbucks locations apart. This is a good one.

So here I am in the drive thru, waiting on my Java chip frapuccino when I hear who I assume is the manager tell the other workers, Were out of java chips No too long after, I get my beverage and drive off real quick because there are many people in the line for the drive thru. I then notice, there are no java chips in my Java chip frapuccino. When I had earlier heard the manager tell his workers about the java chip situation, I thought that I had gotten the last of them. However, I was incorrect and they had FAILED to tell me that my JAVA CHIP frapuccino did not contain JAVA CHIPS.

I had a pleasant exchange with Manager Brittany a few weeks back. She definitely created a welcoming environment for everyone. I tried to say thanks when I left, but she was busy and Im awkward af, so I just left... so Ill leave it in a five-star review and say thanks.Thank you, Brittany.

Always good coffee and always make it right. I order from dunkin a lot and have to request a ton of syrup in my coffee, so going to starbucks Im used to being cut shirt of flavor and end up drinking bitter coffee. But here at Starbucks, you get what you put in and they dont cheap you out on your syrup! Just make sure to not put too much in or else youre drinking syrup. Otherwise very nice staff and fast service. I also use the app and order in advance and the only wait is the line thats usually there. Not to mention all starbucks usually have a Pokestop so theres one way to spend your time
