I stopped here for a quick in-store cup of black coffee and an impossible sausage sandwich. If you follow my reviews, you know already that it is often "impossible" for any Starbucks employee to heat the impossible sausage sandwich correctly. They "always" overheat it and melt the cheese all over the place. BUT NO! Finally, a Starbucks that gets it right. And since it was "for here" it was served on a proper plate, and with a smile! I have never been more pleased with simple employee decisions that result in customer SATISFACTION. Thank you! read more

Not sure what the problem was while we were here. But got half of our order and then waited over ten more minutes for the second half. Be careful parking in the ten minute parking, it's probably going to take longer than that to get your drink... There's not much seating room, so be ready to stand for an extended period of time in a crowd. Maybe this was just a bad day or time for them, but probably one of the worst experiences I've had at any Starbucks location. I considered just asking for a refund on the second drink since we were here for at least 15 minutes but they finally got it ready. It was incorrect and didn't taste good, but I didn't have another 15 minutes to wait for it to be remade. Very disappointing experience. read more

Had the pleasure of stopping at this location before a long drive. Shelby was so nice, warm and helpful. She even upsold us to buy extra stuff, but happy to spend the money when getting great service. read more

Starbucks never disappoints. Very friendly baristas and service was super quick! Had some yummy bacon and Gruyère egg bites as well, but naturally I finished those before I could even take a photo! read more

Starbucks - Vanilla sweet cream nitro cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

I ordered a grande decaf latte with almond milk and sugar free vanilla. It tasted like a hot cup of flavored coffee water. I was beyond disappointed. I'm not sure if it was my order or the location so order with caution. Service was quick and this location was not that busy. Pretty small Starbucks, not enough room to do much but gather and get your coffee and leave. read more

Prompt & Exact service. Visiting from Miami. Did mobile orders and both were; Exact, Timely and super Friendly. WHAT AN AWESOME TEAM! Great parking as well. read more

This is the best Starbucks I've ever been to. The girl who just helped us was really sweet and authentic and kind. I wish I caught her name (I just asked its jessamine). anyhow this is definitely going be the only starbucks we go to in asheville as the others have not been great read more

One of my favorite Starbucks!!! Even on a busy Monday morning, they are friendly, make the coffee perfectly, and go the extra mile to put in a napkin and fork in their little food bags. It's the little things! read more

Starbucks - Iced coffee w oat milk, sweet cream cold foam on top - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

If you're an early bird, you may not want to choose this Starbucks for your morning coffee. There have been several times no one shows up to open the store. This morning I placed a mobile order, which was accepted, while getting to the store to see no one was at work and the door locked. This was 30 minutes after open time. read more

We've stopped by this location a few times during our visits over the last year. It's conveniently located near lots of other places we usually visit and is even the perfect stop on our way out of town. Each time there's been a short line, but it moves quickly. The staff is very accommodating of special orders. The only "bad experience" we've had there was the Egg Nog latte. Lol. We do not recommend. read more

Starbucks - My creation - Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich + Sausage & Cheddar Breakfast Sandwich minus the bread - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

If I hadn't been to this store before today I might be willing to say the poor service is due to it being Easter. However, that's not the case. No sense of urgency despite being well staffed with 5 baristas. Oh, and bring a coat. It's always like a meat locker inside. read more

We ordered online using the application. Went inside, picked it up, and left. I ordered the chai latte, dirty, one shot. I enjoyed it.

Good location with a lot of outdoor seating close to downtown asheville. Same consistent product with a cool old asheville vibe. It's crowded at peak times and has limited parking but I love this place off peak! read more

As a former Starbucks Partner, I am very critical of my Starbucks. I want that "legendary" service, good coffee, outdoor seating, ONLY coffee smells (no burned cheese smell), good music and a great location. This place provides this all. The only downtown Starbucks location has the unique added value of also being a neighborhood location. It lies conveniently off of the highway and right within walking distance of downtown and the surrounding, slightly urban neighborhoods. The outdoor seating is, for the most part, shaded and plenty. The only draw back is the close proximity to the roadway and parking lot...there is a chance that the exhaust from cars may push you inside. The inside features a uniquely designed Coffee Bar. You sit at stools that look at the espresso machine and brewing station. A great feature for customer interaction with the Partners. The service and staff is as good as it gets as far as Starbucks in the Asheville area. The other locations are fine...but Charlotte Street shines as an example of how a store should be. I go out of my way to get to this place. It's worth it. read more

So when I'm looking for that big corporate fix when it comes the coffee this is my Starbucks of choice. Located just on the edge of the center of town on Charlotte Street I don't think of ever seen his place when it wasn't busy. Staff is friendly and if I'm not mistaken the entire interior has been redesigned giving it both a fresh and contemporary look and feel They would get five stars but in my most recent visit I purchase a to go metal coffee mug a mocha and a note bar and was never given the oat bar are usually don't ask for receipts so it took a bit of convincing that I did buy it without the receipt. FYI always take the receipt in case they forget it at this location read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

I'm going to stick with my standard mantra of "It's a Starbucks. If you like Starbucks, you'll like it. If you're not a fan of SB then you might want to look elsewhere." Past that, there isn't a whole lot more to say. It does have outdoor seating which is nice. read more

I wish I could give this place negative stars - the are AWFUL. Something is always malfunctioning here: the equipment, the people, or both. Be prepared to be wait 15-20 min. for a beverage. Also, the parking is a nightmare. I strongly suggest going to any Ingles if you need Starbucks. read more

Beware...Left the store with two drinks. My gal was dressed for a meeting with client. Handed her drink with one of those new sippy lids, lid was not fully secured and spilled over her two layer top and upper pants. Had to go clothes shopping for new dress top. I trust that these lids are properly put in place and I don't have to check someone's work. read more

A reliable cup of coffee. I know the quality will always be the same each time I order my mocha. Sometimes the parking can be tight here... read more

Super great atmosphere. Had to wait a little longer for my cold brew and the sweet barista gave me a credit for my next drink for my next visit! read more

Drinks are always ready when i ore-order them. I can always find parking here with their dedicated parking lot. It's nice and shady and the wifi reaches - i noticed a few working in their car. That may make it challenging for the next people looking for parking during a rush hour though. The people are kind and courteous. Place is always clean read more

Best coffee staff in Asheville/the world!!! Especially Gabe, he melted down some stevia for me to put in my cold drink so it wasn't grainy. Small favor? Absolutely not. Also everyone else who works there is great too, especially Noël, super friendly. I come here everyday! P.S. this is definitely not Gabe. My name is Annabelle. read more

I am a Starbucks whore. But the Charolotte St Starbucks in Asheville, NC will always be the one I come home to. Great service, great drinks, great atmosphere, and great location. I can't say enough good things. I love this place, and when you visit, you'll know why. read more

Not always a big fan of Starbucks... but it is hard not to like this location in downtown Asheville. Our barista was super friendly too. I would recommend. #PSL read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

I love this Starbucks location. Almost everyone that comes to visit Asheville asks to see The Grove Park Inn and this location is on the way. Not only can you see the mountains from any seat in here but the Barista's have never messed up my order. There is an awesome patio with plenty of chairs and tables with umbrellas to hide in the shade. The inside has comfy leather high back chairs that are perfect for hiding in with a book and a cup of coffee. What can you really say about a Starbucks? Overpriced drinks we all complain about paying for yet we're addicted to. Enough said! read more

Long wait times for a Starbucks, usually undertrained baristas, nice enough but today was my last time there after my sandwich came out and didn't get my drink til nearly 30 minutes later. Sandwhich was cold by then but didn't want to wait another hour to have it fixed. read more

Starbucks isn't particularly known for roasting the best coffee beans. I'd venture to say at best, their coffee is decent. However, if you're looking for consistency, and quick service, this company may be the place for you! You won't find coffee connoisseurs -- though, let's be honest -- there will hordes of people who believe themselves to be. I'm writing a review for this specific location because it's wonderful! I've never been to a starbucks that feels like a locally-owned indie coffee shop (in certain aspects). Granted the product is still the same (consistency, remember?) but the service is what draws me back almost everyday. The staff here is great! If you're in the area and want quick mocha-grande-heart-attack-in-a-cup, stop by the Charlotte St starbucks! read more

I like my locally owned coffee shops like High Five, Clingman, Battle Cat, and Waking Life. They money stays here. It is consistent and they gave me their spent coffee grounds for my garden so AOK. read more

I am a Starbucks regular no matter where I am. I enjoy the consistency of my AM coffee experience. As I live in east Asheville this is my go to SB. The staff here make an effort to know you and that makes all the difference. Good people, well managed, casual and friendly with an efficiency I appreciate. read more

Starbucks has a bad reputation as being commercial, but as a past Starbucks employee, I must say its a good company. It may be standard, but you can depend on it. This Starbucks is clean and efficient. The employees are kind and hard workers. I must say that parking is the worst. The Peking lot is also stressful. Make sure to leave the back way & grab the light. Whew! read more

Friendly staff. Great outdoor seating for reading, or people watching. Only complaints, sometimes the trash outside is stinky and the parking lot is full. read more

sometimes you get tired of the hipsters at your neighborhood cafe and really just need someone to be nice to you. this is the place. you know the coffee, it's good. the baristas are absolutely wonderful, they'll treat you well. the customers generally mind their business and aren't checking you out long enough to glare at your dr marten knockoffs from target. parking sucks, but it's charlotte st, what do you expect? this place really is a gem, i wish i still lived on the east side and could stop in just about daily like i used to. oh, tip your baristas. even if they're corporate, everyone in this town is living off tips, so at least drop your loose change in the jar. read more

I always get a smile in the morning when I go in. They remember your drink and usually are very fast. The cops must get a discount because at 6:30am about 4-6 cops are sitting around. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because they are a bit pricey like all the other Starbucks. read more

Was just refused tap water for my dog after spending $13 at this Charlotte St. Location. Then, after purchasing an Ethos water the SBX worker said they don't give out cups because it's wasteful. FYI it's over 90° in Asheville today. Nice customer service from my favorite location. read more

I've never been to a Starbucks in Asheville--I actually haven't been to very many Starbucks at all--but this one was underwhelming. It is tiny, with no cushy couches to lounge in or soothing music to keep you there. There are about 10 2-person tables with hard wooden seats and backs, and that's it. It's almost like they don't want you to stay... read more

I love Starbucks so much, but this one is a little difficult for me. The parking lot is ALWAYS full. It's always so dang busy inside. It's cramped inside. Not anywhere to sit, me and my friend go there and we always just have to leave and drink our coffee in the car because there's nowhere to sit. A little too small for such a busy company like Starbucks. But besides these problems, the employees are always so nice and they listen so well, we get our coffee right every single time and fast! read more

I'm going to be honest here...I love Starbucks! I am all about supporting local businesses (and I frequently do!) but I have yet to find a cafe that makes a Dirty Chai Latte that tastes as good as the ones from Starbucks. As a vegan, I absolutely love the fact that Starbucks offers soy, coconut and almond milk options. I usually hit up the Starbucks on Charlotte Street about once a week for my latte fix and the employees there are always courteous and extremely efficient. There is often a fairly long line but it always moves quickly. Plus I love the fact that Starbucks is always voted one of the best companies to work for! read more

Tables and window sills often sticky, crumb-laden. Landscaping definitely needs updating as this place gets some pretty hard use. May I recommend getting rid of the mulch beds? read more

This is my first bad experience with this Starbucks. I just left the store really disappointed in there cleanliness and rotation of ready made lunches. I usually like to grab one of Starbucks egg & cheese protein boxes when I am in a hurry. They didn't have what I usually get, so I tried the 1/2 peanut butter sandwich, apples, carrots, cucumbers, chocolate raisins and yogurt dip. Once I opened it I could tell that it wasn't fresh at all. The cucumbers and carrots were rubbery, cucumbers and had that brown look to them and the apples were browning as well. Surely to goodness the sandwich would be okay, right? Nope! The bread was stale. I get that it's a pre-packaged box but I have been getting these forever and never had one that wasn't fresh. They're supposed to make these daily. It was my understanding that they throw out the unused ones at the end of day. Clearly that's not the case and I looked over the other boxed lunches, hoping that mine was somehow not rotated out. Nope! They all looked like this. So you're selling rotten or almost rotten food to customers, mmmm yummy. read more
