As John B. wrote way back in 2016 "It is Starbucks, so you know the product." I recently had the opportunity to meet my Yelp OG bud at this Starbucks where we spent an hour plus catching up and solving all the world's problems. This Starbucks is pretty large and the environment is brightly lit. There are long picnic style tables as well as some smaller round tables. There is also a drive up window for those on the go. I also really appreciated that they really keep this location very clean. Beverage and food options is typical Starbucks. My latte' and banana bread arrived hot and warm! Their dedicated parking lot is pretty small so it may be optimum to park in the adjacent strip mall lot. read more

Mmm Starbucks! It was good! We wanted a soft drink and stopped here on our way home- I got an iced grande Matcha with almond milk and it was gone before I got home! It was a fast stop- device was cordial, we used the drive thru so I have no clue how the inside of the shop looked like but it all seemed neat and clean around the outside! What's not to like? Perhaps that there was so little drink... it's all gone now Enjoy! read more

The drive thru is still efficient and accurate, especially when I use the app. Inside, drink pick ups are still at the far end of the counter, which can cause a crowd of people standing in the small place waiting. It's not the best set up with the space. The store is good for working. When I've walked in, the atmosphere is calm, not loud. This store tends to have a large staff working, larger than the average store I visit. Perhaps fewer employees are behind the scene here? Regardless, they work together well. They rarely step on each other's shoes. read more

This is by far the cutest Starbucks. I can't wait to experience the inside. I can imagine what it would be like, considering seeing the outside with the palm trees. But this review is about the drive-thru. The young gentleman at the window was so sweet. He brightened my day from the moment I heard his voice when I ordered. His voice was upbeat; it made me smile. After, I drove around to see the face that matched the happy voice. He was still smiling, handed my drink through the window, and made sure to tell me to have a great day. Now, here's the catcher: this time, I ordered a small Iced Pecan Crunch, and it was so exceptionally good that I wanted to kick myself for not ordering a large one. read more

Austin's temperature dropped down to 27 degrees this week. There's nothing better than a hot cup of tea on a cold day. Therefore, I decided to drive by Starbucks's for a quick cup of tea (mint medley) and oatmeal. For my oatmeal, I normally have two packets of nuts and no berries, no sugar. It was nice and thick this morning. Usually this Starbucks has a long drive through line, but today was an exception...quick and easy...less than five minutes. The cashier was very friendly and personable. This was one of the older Starbucks in town, but did not disappoint. I would recommend Starbucks if you want a quick drink and bite to eat. Also, if you have time to sit, have a meet up inside. read more

I really like this Starbucks because it is nice inside and they are always well stocked. Their only problem is getting in and out of the parking lot. If you're going to dine in, it's better to just park out in the shopping center parking lot. If you're going to drive-thru, be ready for lots of foot traffic and very sharp turns lol read more

Went here a few days ago and have gone about 2-3 times same week before that and I can truly say that each time I have gone the staff has been super kind and friendly! I love that they write little words on the cups, they always have a smile, and make my complicated drink so GOOOD it definitely makes a difference when your drink is good and staff is great before a work shift. read more

Starbucks - Iced espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I usually love yall but yall gotta lock in fr. I always order ahead because of the timing it always takes to make a drink but 20 min waiting standing there? & not getting my order started unless I speak up?!! - which I hate bc I don't wanna be a Karen. @ HR to HR you gotta lock in & hire management that is on top of customer flow. It's not my department but still. Aside of that shout out to the baristas actually considerating the customers that have waited for a while & ask "what was your order" while occupied. Best, read more

+ iced caramel machiato still great - employees still eccentric - still letting homeless people just hang out -- internet has become completely unusable. the last 3 times, cannot connect at all. i used to spend $700 a year at starbucks. now its about $50, without there being a change in the quality of the drinks, or my coffee drinking habits. read more

This store location is very busy frequently but remains clean and a good place to stop in or do a mobile order. Staff is awesome. Recommended. read more

This Starbucks gets pretty packed during the day. The windows are nice and there's a ton of natural light. Lots of indoor seating with outlets almost at every table, but not a good variety of high seating. All the tables are low tables. Options for outdoor seating. Bathrooms were relatively clean and spacious. Drive-thru street is one way, but encountered several people who went the wrong way so be careful! read more

I had a really great time during my visit the Starbucks team was super nice and provided great service.

Why would Starbucks need another review? You already know what you get here. But this Starbucks is one of biggest Starbucks in Austin, and they have a great drive-thru. Most Starbucks in Austin are small and have no drive-thru. Other than space and having a drive-thru, the other really impressive thing at work here is their mastery of the logistics required to serve so many people so fast. Having an app and a recognized brand will only get them so far. Their drive-thru orders are so smoothly executed that I've never had to wait long for anything. Allendale really relies on this place to get moving every day. As a remote working environment, I choose them when I want guaranteed warmth, parking, and a guaranteed electrical outlet. Our local Austin shops are amazing when the weather is right --which is just about all the time. But most places aren't set up for cold here. And the local places sometimes aren't designed with many outlets or parking. Today my battery is low, and it's cold. I had my pick of a ton of parking places close to the building. It's a Starbucks morning. read more

The busiest Starbucks in the area, with a usual 30 minute wait in the drive-through. The staff is impressive, in keeping consistently upbeat and delivering customer service. Automatic 5 stars because that's a talent and a feat in itself. Inside, it's loud like any other Starbucks, but surprisingly calm and spacious- the sort of place you'd like ti stop and relax. Shout out to the cashier who recommended I put shots of "blonde espresso" in my husbands cookie crumble usual drink. And an iced orleato is my new favorite item! read more

Worst Starbucks I've ever came to, came in on my birthday to get a normal latte drink, they didn't honor it being my birthday nor did they make the drink right, they up charged me for the drink and when I ask to return it they told me no spoke to the manager told me "we having a change in management so things are starting to be different". Don't come here read more

Love that this Starbucks feels new and spacious. The cafe recently reopened with pandemic measures in effect. While I was here, I saw them clean the cafe a couple times Baristas are friendly and seen like they are having a good time. The drive through line seems realllly long at times, but it moves pretty quickly. I usually just walk in and order inside read more

Starbucks - Lots of space between tables - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I tried visiting this Starbucks about a year ago and it was closed due to staffing issues. I'm really happy to see that they are fully staffed now and that the employees are also absolutely wonderful! I recently stopped in on a Tuesday for their Tuesday July promotion of 50% off cold beverages and ordered a cold brew with chocolate foam after the recommendation of an employee. I was torn between two options and ultimately ordered the chocolate option based on her testimonial of having made it before it was even a menu option. That being said, the beverage was promptly and delicious made, the store is clean and well organized, the drive-thru was moving quickly (although I opted to walk in), and the employees here were all wonderfully friendly. This is my favorite Austin Starbucks from when I used to live in the area and even though I've now moved to South Austin, it's still my favorite Starbucks to visit! read more

The people here are lovely and the drinks are yummy. And now for the drive-thru line...what needs to change? This is the longest/slowest drive-thru in Austin. Please find a way to improve this, Starbucks. Getting a latte through the drive-thru shouldn't be a 40 minute affair. read more

Always a little busy at this store. The service is friendly and quick. Parking and the drive thru can be a bit tricky just due to the location, corner set up. But good all overall experience. read more

This is dog water. My tall looks like an extra small. I asked for lavender cold foam and i got liquid unicorn mush. I got this two weeks ago at the same location and it bussed. This busts. It is underfilled and not right. read more

Starbucks - This is the underfilled chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

This Starbucks has great service, good quality drinks compared to other locations, and is very clean with ample indoor furniture.

I was on a road trip getaway weekend and ended up stopping here on my way to a museum. In Houston,every time I order my drink with light cream, they fill whatever size cup halfway with cream just about. So when I went to this location, I tried to be REAL specific about LIGHT cream. I have to hand it to them, the cashier made the note and also talked to the barista to make SURE it was exactly the way I wanted it. Consider me impressed. Reason #3 I'd move to Austin. WINNER!!! read more

Spacious location with a wide range of seatings options available from large tables, to couches, to comfortable lounger chairs, to high tables. Service was fast and friendly. I also like their little joke customer of the month board where they highlight a ridiculous request someone had. I'm surprised to see this location is rated as not a good place to work, there are plenty of sizeable tables and outlets, the music isn't too loud and it isn't overrun with people to the point of becoming a noise issue. I feel like if you like working in coffee shops this is a great space. read more

I think there's an issue in the literacy department as the last 3 orders I've made here have been consistently wrong.

Ni is very cheerful and overall has a great prideful attitude towards her job, and she is quick and efficient as a barista!

The only reason why I'm leaving 2 stars instead of 1 is because there's usually a really nice person working the drive-thru. I placed a pickup order through the mobile app. I went into the (nearly empty) store to pick it up and stood at the pickup counter. I could see one of my drinks sitting there, but the other wasn't ready even though it was ready for pickup about 10 minutes prior. There were 4 employees working. None of them greeted me, acknowledged me, or even looked me in the eye. The two ladies were making drinks for another inside customer, but there were two guys literally just standing around goofing off. One was playing on his cell phone and the other was standing around twiddling his thumbs. I could see the drive thru line from inside - there was no one in line. I stood there for a few minutes and finally said I was here to pick up my order and that I saw one of my drinks, but the other one wasn't there. That's when one of the ladies chimed in to say "oh, we don't make nitro drinks until you come to pick up your order." Okay?! Well, I'm here! If anyone had even taken a second to acknowledge that, you would've known to make it! I have worked in customer service my entire life It is SO SIMPLE to just look someone in the eye and acknowledge them instead of texting, goofing off, and completely ignoring someone for several minutes when it isn't even remotely busy. Even though I work in the same shopping center and go here all the time, I probably won't be back. I should've waited in line at Epoch Coffee instead. read more

I don't typically rate chains but I have to give a shout out to this particular Starbucks location. They. Are. Fast. Like what Starbucks should be fast, like back in the day fast. There are so many in town where I find myself shouting at my dash, and sometimes I'm one of two cars in line! But not here. AND if you dare to go inside, they actually serve you promptly rather than every single car first (this has happened to me). I also recently forgot to pick up my banana bread from the counter & when I called to tell them, they basically were like "no problem, let us know next time you're here." Hearts to this crew. You guys are gold. read more

Well, they have done it again.... haven't even taken a sip yet. You guys really struggling after charging 84.00 for a cup of coffee? read more

Starbucks - Icy coffee with almond milk! Perfect for yet another 100 degree day in Austin! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Working at this starbucks isn't for the weak... They are always busy. However, they are very accurate with the orders and fast. I never have to wait - especially if I order from the app. I go in pretty much every day and, no matter how busy they are, I'm always greeted with a smile and thanked for my business. read more

i would give 0 if i could, maybe even negative stars. had an employee told me i couldn't come into the store. i ordered on the starbucks app and it doesn't specify that the store is closed only the drive thru is open, walked there and was denied entry. said she would "talk to the manager" and then told me my only solution was the stand behind the cars in the drive thru in the texas heat behind cars that are blowing carbon into my face. happy father's day! read more

This review is probably biased, because I LOVE THE STAFF AT THIS STARBUCKS. Believe it or not, this is the BUSIEST STARBUCKS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. It shows, too! The drive-thru line can be comically long. I'm talking, who has 20 minutes to wait in their car for a latte, long. Be we all know how these basic people love their Starbucks. Despite the awful lines, the staff here is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and nice and helpful. You'd have no idea their fingers are probably sore and bleeding from making hundreds of coffee drinks for the insane amount of people flocking here daily. Don't come if you're in a rush. Or utilize their mobile order app to skip the lines read more

Closed 15 minutes early tonight... not sure why. A little sad cause I went out of my way to drive here. Sign and online said 9:00 and the door was unlocked. They were also bringing product in 10 minutes before close which was strange. I sat in my car for a bit to go to a different Starbucks, then I saw someone order through the drive through!! I called and asked if they were closed again, and she said "well we close in 2 minutes" and I was confused cause everyone in the store said they were closed 15 minutes before. I told them "I see someone in your drive through" and she stumbled around before saying "I'm mean yeah technically you can go through our drive through"?? :( read more

"I'm your mama I'm your daddy I'm that ----- in the alley I'm your doctor When in need Want some coffee* Have some tea* You know me I'm your friend Your main boy Thick and thin I'm your pusherman I'm your pusherman..." Ohhhhhh, Starbucks you Evil Bitch-Goddess you. You got me again. I had sworn you off almost 5 years ago, but I had a meeting here last Wednesday night and you got your talons deep into me again. You and I both know that I cannot resist your White Chocolate Mocha. What do you put in this concoction you Java Jezebel, you???? Needless to say I thought about that Devil's brew every day and night since until I finally broke down today and went full on VENTI with it. VENTI!!!!! Have you no mercy? No decency? I'm not a well woman, Starbucks!! Can you not tell your minions (read 'baristas') to not serve me? I have parted with many a vice, but WCM may just be my Waterloo. "I'm your mama I'm your daddy I'm that ----- in the alley I'm your doctor When in need Want some coffee* Have some tea* You know me I'm your friend Your main boy Thick and thin I'm your pusherman I'm your pusherman..." * Addictive substances changed so as not get this review flagged. :) read more

Pros - Nice build-out/space. Comfortable furniture. Ample power outlets. The drink quality is consistently good. Ample parking. Music at a mercifully reasonable volume. Cons- This store does not keep consistent hours. Information on the web says they stay open until 9:00 pm. They are open until 7:00. Over Christmas/New Year's holiday, the lobby was closed 30% of the time with a handwritten note they were "short staffed" taped on the door. The drive-through closed at different hours, shy of 7:00 many nights as well. The staff is overworked. I was greeted this morning by a sullen gal "We'll get to you as soon as we can.." Not, "Good Morning" etc. A fair smattering of homeless folk in-store loitering. The drive-through area is unkempt, littered with trash and boxes. read more

I frequent this location often as it's so close to work but after today I will have to rethink this location. My mobile order was placed at 9:06 and my arrival was 9:12 in the drive thru line. I let them know I'm here for a mobile order and they state it's not ready yet which is fine and understandable but then the employee says I have to go around and get in line AGAIN because she states she couldn't have me just waiting at the window. At this point I'm so confused because this has never happened before there have been times when drinks are made on "the fly" at the window when an order is incorrect so I was thinking it was odd she asked me to drive back around for my drink. I could understand had there been a line of 10 plus cars waiting but it was slow and there was only 1 person behind me. What would have happened had I of ordered at the speaker and not online? Do you no longer take orders at the speaker because technically that would cause a back up too since the drink isn't already made when they just placed an order? Makes no sense! read more

Friendly service and great atmosphere. The reason why I gave only three stars is the service and atmosphere is diluted by the VERY LOUD MUSIC while trying to relax or have a conversation with someone. I always think about a serene place when going to sit at a coffee shop. Tonight I had to ask if they could turn it down because I literally couldn't hear the person across the table from me. My friend said it's the same on some am's. Maybe the management should reach out to the employees or Starbucks corp. should reach out to management. Never ran into this problem at another location. read more
