Starbucks has some of the friendliest and most reliable staff around. Every visit feels welcoming--the baristas are quick, patient, and always willing to double-check an order or help customize a drink without making it feel like a hassle. Even when the store is busy, they stay upbeat and keep things moving smoothly. Their consistency and positive attitude really set the tone and make the whole experience feel warm and personal. It's the kind of place where the staff truly makes the coffee run better. read more

I love that the service is faster than the other coffee shops and I have tried many. The employees are super nice and friendly! I get a very specific customized coffee and this is the only place to consistently make it perfect and I been a regular ever since. Relaxed and cozy inside, the drive through is easy to access and the line moves quickly. read more

I ordered a Grande Matcha Latte and they filled the cup with so much ice that the drink only had 3 small drinks in it. it was such a rip off and this location does this consistently with their drinks, even when the requested order says light ice. This location consistently has bad service and messes up orders. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Billings, Montana

See all

By reading the reviews and experiencing it myself, I think the impersonal service boils down to one employee. She just happens to man the cash register. Which may just be a bad spot for her. There was a barista there who I think must be the manager or owner--almost--that's how well she thought of her job--and I think by her attitude and actions I witnessed--she should be at the register. Win every time. I hate to pin point one person as a source of trouble for a place, but when I read the description of the worker described, I knew who it was exactly. I'm not saying fire her, by any means, she may just need some remediation. Very clean atmosphere, efficient, and great seating. read more

i love starbucks. but in all honesty HOW HARD IS IT TO PUT NO BERRIES IN MY REFRESHER WHEN I ASK!!! i hate the berries alot. i hate the seeds in them. i can never drink my order because the berries are soggy and gross. read more

My drink was amazing. Their sausage cheddar sandwich was great. Their service was great and I will be back today.

Hard to believe I spent about 5 1/2 hours of my vacation (out of 2 consecutive days. 4 total days) to Billings hitting up this Starbucks on Grand Avenue, but it's true. I guess for me, Starbucks represents downtime and a chance to destress and relax from the outside world. I also use Starbucks as a means to help me get inspired to write reviews on yelp, even during downtimes during aforementioned vacation, just so the pending yelp reviews doesn't start stacking up and need to find the time in the real world post vacation. You know what I am talking about! I also enjoy Starbucks drinks whenever I come here and am thankful that Starbucks has free, speedy, and reliable wifi at each of their locations nationwide. At this location though here in Billings, MT, I did enjoy the fact that this Starbucks location facility is quite large, plenty of seats and chairs for everyone. I don't know whether or not this place has enough outlets to charge devices, but I did see some people charge their devices while I was there. I did feel like the ambiance of Starbucks did enhance the mood that was conductive to writing and other academic things. During my Starbucks experience here in Billings, MT, you can see people studying for school, working, or just doing their own thing. That's what I love about being at Starbucks. It's like your own personal oasis and quiet time, as the ambiance and atmosphere of Starbucks is basically like a community library, but you are not in one. This Starbucks location is centrality located at 900 Grand Avenue in the heart of Billings, MT. Like all Starbucks locations, they accept major credit cards, which is always a good thing., as well as cash too. They also have the Starbucks app for your mobile device and you can load credits on the account, so you don't need to bring your wallet each time. This Starbucks has a private parking lot and also a drive thru, so that's pretty cool. Parking is plentiful here, so do yourself a favor and come here to relax and enjoy that ambiance that Starbucks is known for. My usual go to drink of choice is usually the trenta iced green or black tea whenever I go to Starbucks anywhere. On this visit, I had the trenta black tea lemonade and even tried the white tea lemonade, just because I saw it on the menu and was interested in trying that. I was told that I was a mixture of the green and black tea lemonades. The outcome was that it tasted pretty good, although the green tea seemed to be the dominant color. On this visit here to Starbucks, I also had a couple of pastries as well, while working / writing on these reviews for yelp. My favorite go-to would have to be the scone, danish, or the muffin. It would definitely depend on availability. This Starbucks location also sports a gender neural restroom, so you could stay here for hours on end working and that would be okay. The service at this Starbucks was good as usual. Friendly staff makes Starbucks always a delight to come back daily after day. You usually get your drink 2-3 minutes after putting in your order, which is good. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. 5.0 stars for the free wifi. While the prices here can be a burn on the wallet, just having that space to work and hang out, whether you buy or don't buy, is always a nice. It's a guilt free thing. Support local! B read more

Very disappointed this morning. I go here almost every day. They open at 6 and hours jeep changing but I've stayed up to date on all changes. This morning me and multiple cars were waiting to be helped. No one answered the speaker. So I pulled around to the window and none of the workers would even come and explain what the issue was or the delay of opening or why customers were not being helped. I then proceeded to call the store multiple times without a single answer. Just very disappointing since I only live a block away but this morning proved what kind of staff is working there. read more

Neat Starbucks. Nice community sitting table, nice areas near a pleasant fireplace. drinks were the usual coffee fair - hasn't mixed up a drink after that first opening week. Plentiful seating. Clean bathrooms. Has wifi and hasn't hassled one for studying there late when needed. Manages to capture a neighborhood feel. Minuses: no coffee master. read more

Usually I don't go to Starbucks, for I'm more of a local shop type of girl. However, it being a Sunday, I only had limited options and decided to give Starbucks a chance. I was helped by the sweetest/cutest girl named Erin. She was incredibly helpful and super funny. She brightened my day and has made me reconsider buying from Starbucks again in the future. read more

Happy employees, beautiful store, and plenty of seating in a peaceful and welcoming environment! Enjoyed our visit to this Starbucks thoroughly!! read more

Starbucks - Very nice seating area! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Billings, Montana

This location truly needs help with organization and coordinating people correctly. So many times I've watched certain people stand around while two people make a long list of orders. The waiting time, either drive through or walk in, is outrageous. My husband and I just sat in the drive through and ate our entire lunches while waiting just to pay! They handed my drink over and my husbands just sat there for another three minutes until someone realized we were still waiting for it. Someone please help this location, until then I'll continue my business with City Brew. read more

I have come to this location countless times and they are always so prompt and so kind and my coffee is always perfect! I went today and received my birthday coffee and Destiny took my order and made me feel SO special- what a fun highlight to my day! Thank you for always taking great care of your customers, even in tough times! read more

I'm rarely given the correct drink at this location, and only a select few employees offer good customer service.

The barista was sweeping the floor when I walked in. She rolled her eyes, turned, and slumped her shoulders as she walked to the counter. She spoke very quietly and didn't make any attempt to be friendly. People have bad days, but this isn't the first time the baristas haven't been friendly to me. Otherwise the atmosphere of the store is great. It is a good place to study, work, or chat with friends. If the service improves, I would re-rate at 5 stars. read more

I recently quit working here and when I went back today to get coffee I make a joke about my partner numbers working and the manager told me I was no longer allowed to come to her store! I think this is very wrong and unethical! I didn't cause any kind of scene to be kicked out of the store as a customer! I will not return here due to her bad attitude. read more

I'm not sure why but this staff just doesn't treat customers the way I am used to being treated by a Starbucks employee. No greeting, no polite conversation and very slow service for the walk in crowd. read more

This is my favorite starbucks in billings! Always busy and full of life! Sure the drinks take a little long to get out sometimes but you just have to keep in mind that labels get lost, and people in the drive sometimes order several drinks at a time. Great employees that are always willing to help. Glad to come in here everyday read more

Very friendly staff, I am visiting Billings, I wish my home Starbucks was this nice. A couple days in a row and "Erin" obviously a manager was using my first name and making me feel at home. Not sure when I will return to Billings but at least I will have something to look forward to. read more

Hands down my favorite Starbucks in the Billings area. The baristas at the drive thru are always super pleasant, have great senses of humor, and are all around always amazing. read more

This is only the 2nd time I have been to this Starbucks since it opened, and I don't think I'll be going back. My coffee is always wrong when I get it. Not sure if the morning crew is not awake yet or what the heck, and they are always short staffed and so busy. Guess I'll go somewhere else. read more

My service was not as good as I expected, went through the drive through and waited for 10 minutes with only 2 cars in front of me, the messed up my order and didn't even have the right food I asked for, which was iced lemone cake read more

There's an older guy who works the drive through, I think his name is Wayne. He is so amazing!! I go to this Starbucks just to see him. I also don't know what the other reviewers are talking about with the lack of customer service inside... maybe just off days? I don't know. When I do go in I'm always met with smiling faces and people who seem to be good at what they do. I go earlier in the mornings. :) read more

Not only is it immoral to shop at something this big, but their straight up cup of coffee tastes like shit.

I have frequented this location mostly because of Wayne the drive thru guy, and because it's on my way to the college. In October I visited Starbucks every day of the month but 3 up until Saturday the 29th. Well, I won't be doing that anymore. Or visiting this location period. I may not visit Starbucks in Billings period after the way I was treated. I like Wayne, because he reminds me of the friendly atmosphere back home, and being here for college away from my life hasn't been an easy adjustment. On October 29th I worked a 13 hour shift and like to go drink coffee while I study. I commonly do this because I fall asleep at my desk if I stay home! This Starbucks has a great perk that I won't be using again; they're open until midnight and no other coffee shop stays open that late. I've been to this location during the day when it was completely packed and never had the experience that I did on Saturday night. One side of the coffee shop had medical students trying to study, and the other side where the long community table was a group of people. This group was so loud that I could hear them through the noise cancelling headphones I have that suction to the inside of my ears. The lady studying across from me kept turning around and looking at them because they were inappropriately loud for any time of day. It was like they were at s loud bar and couldn't hear each other. I planned to have three coffees but made it through my coffee and packed my things up because they were so loud I couldn't focus. I picked up a mineral water and stated to the male barista about the reason I was leaving. The female barista chimed in and said, "well that's my family and they come every Saturday night!", (Okay, my thought is that's great, but having worked in customer service I know that doesn't give them a pass to be obnoxious and rudely disrespectful to other patrons), and then the male barista said to me, "well they're opening a coffee shop downtown that's 24 hours, don't know the name of it but you should go there!" Excuse me? Mind you had it been someone complaining about a table that wasn't the baristas family something would've been said. This is the same male barista that scolded me three weeks prior for asking for a chicken panini when they were out of sun dried tomato. Once again he was nasty and even though I didn't hear him say they were out of all paninis, he said, "when I tell you we are all out of paninis we are out of ALL paninis!", even after I told him I didn't hear him say that he continued to be rude and never apologized. So he's right and will get his wish, I'll spend my money elsewhere and ask my friends and classmates to do the same. read more
