Amazing workers, they assisted me when I didn't know what to order and Maria was especially kind. She was also very appreciative about the tip! The food and drinks were amazing. Only issue is the price. It was 6 dollars for a sandwich. And 6 dollars for some water based drinks. I ordered a strawberry acai and it was mostly water and ice with a few strawberry pieces that tasted gross. read more

I stopped by here to pick up coffee and a sandwich for my wife. I asked for a small coffee with three splendas and three creams. When I returned to Brooklyn college campus, because we were proctoring an exam their, and gave her the coffee she realized the coffee was black and had no Splenda.... unbelievable... Brooklyn, you're killing me here.... read more

I got the friendliest service at this Starbucks! My coffee was prepared right away and the barista "apologized" that I had to wait. But -- I DIDN'T have to wait! Everything was fast and friendly. It is a large and spacious Starbucks with a nice atmosphere that caters to the Brooklyn College students (it even has some tables that look like they were set up SPECIFICALLY for students to have study groups!). ADDITIONALLY, and I am embarrassed to admit this, as I am a "cupcake connoisseur" -- but Starbucks really does have EXCEPTIONAL cupcakes. They are really good. They are always moist and the frosting is fluffy and flavorful. Megan C. agrees with me. She was a naysayer previously, but I converted her! ;-) read more

Quite a pleasant visit. My beverage was made to my liking which is rare. I always order the Chai tea latte, extra hot, no water, not foam, with soy milk. I can honestly say that this beverage was hot, just the way I like it. read more

This is the most unpleasant Starbucks you will ever go to. Sure, they do deal with college students but it does not mean you don't have to be professional. This store is understaffed and the staff they do have is poorly trained and extremely unfriendly. The sitting area is filled with random flies. Look out for one of the ladies at the register. She will actually SHOUT OUT TO THE ENTIRE STORE that you owe her TWO PENNIES. Are you kidding me?! First of all: don't ever shout at your customer. Second: what is wrong with you?! 2 pennies do not mean bankrupting the store or getting yourself in trouble. Excuse me, no one needs a 2 CENT "discount" either. I gave her my card, and it was exceptionally clear on her face that she's never had so much satisfaction out of her job before. Wow, someone really needed a couple pennies for her troubles. read more

Couldn't decide on the many coffee places to choose from so I just went with the most famous coffee company in the world. What a mistake that was. Didn't like my drink at all. Threw it away after a few sips. read more

Nice coffee shop off Flatbush Ave that seems quite upbeat with friendly service. Stopped in on my way home hanging out at Brooklyn College. My order was the usual iced mocha latte which was just right. Starbucks is like the only place that makes a consistent beverage for me. My friends dont like SB but thats their opinion all these millenial babies. Lol The barista was very bubbly and kind. They had a nice soundtrack going on with 80s rock. I would surely come back here if I am ever in the neighborhood again. read more

I'm back at this Starbucks on the first day they're open after renovations.... PLEASE replace the seats by the window!:-( I appreciate the more modern look, but the only seats in the store now are near the bathroom... And near a loud speaker...Not very pleasant for guests... Wishing you all the best though read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I am standing here, still waiting for my drink. It's been at least half an hour since I've placed my Mobile order. I thought the whole point of this was to make my life easier so why the hell am I still waiting. I am getting so frustrated because I ain't got all day for this. I need to rush back to the library to study for my midterms and this is seriously taking all day!!!!! read more

Coffee makes everything feel better. I literally live here. I call it my home base and my home away from home because that's what it is. I am convinced that it was key to me passing my Nursing Exam. The baristas are my best friends and every one, and I mean EVERY one knows me by name. The manager, Dana, is tough, but she does her job and her kids are sweet. Anyway, this is the one Starbucks that consistently makes my crazy concoctions right, although that might just be because I'm here so often. *shrugs* The lines can get crazy because they're often understaffed, but they still get the the job done and exercising some patience never killed anyone. Its almost always spic-span in here and their wireless charging stations are awesome. Also, FREE WEE-FEE as I like to call it. Overall, my #1 starbucks and I've been to A LOT. #crackbuxlover Come on through guys and of course the high-quality is just a bonus. As always ...Happy Eating.-Marie-Madeleine. Another review here. Just adding to my other stellar review. Still love this place and just wanted to add another picthewwto my original review. Also, they put up with my weird concoctions with exceptional skills. My most recent-- a white mocha frappucino with matcha blended in. Super amazing of I do say so myself. Picture to follow. read more

First of all, the people who work here are really nice, caring, and helpful. I remember one person who made me laugh so hard that I almost forgot to take my hot chocolate to go with me. I love coming here. I usually get hot chocolate because I can make my own coffee and not pay $4 bucks for it. Plus, I find Starbucks coffee too strong my weak belly. Second, this Starbucks is the only one in Midwood vicinity. Third, the lines get long in the afternoon and that means waiting for a seat. Many people come into study or chat with a friend. Many times, I sit at the bar because the seats can be hard to come by. read more

This place is amazing, the workers were so nice and were so friendly. They gave me a good welcome feeling

I love the selection and the clientele. Current student at BC. Only thing is during lunch time and morning hour, huge line. Otherwise the staff is cool. Not enough seats though. read more

Not one of the best Starbucks out there. Its usually really busy and the workers tend to get really confused with the various orders. stay clear unless your a starbucks addict and can't resist read more

After coming to this Starbucks about 3-4 times, the service has made me create a Yelp account. With that said, the first time I went in the line ended just short of the entrance and the wait for the drink is ridiculously long. Took me almost an hour to finally leave the store. What finally ticked me off was when I went in to order my usual coffee around 12pm and the cashier asks me for my name and I tell her "Sandy", she then writes it on the cup and places it next on the line of cups waiting to be made. As I'm waiting for my drink, the barista makes the drink and places it on the counter without saying anything. As I'm still waiting another cashier finally reads the name on the venti cup and she says "Dina". Clearly it's not my name and so I continued to wait. Until everyone else after me has already gotten their drinks, I politely asked the cashier who took my order if she put down the right name, and she says yes this is yours Dina. At this point I was extremely irritated and told her that wasn't the name I told you and she shrugs her shoulders rudely. If this wasn't the only Starbucks around Brooklyn college, I would never come back here again. Unfortunately, the next nearest Starbucks is in Target a few blocks down. This place definitely has the worst customer service in all of the Starbucks I've been to. read more

A great place to find weirdos and wait in long lines for the most concentrated and sweet Starbucks drinks you will ever experience. There was once a young male cashier who would give me a free drink every time I came into this particular Starbucks. I thought he was being personal and kind, but then realized after about 3 times that this was a problem. I then observed that he did this with every other female customer he served, which was actually creepy. Once when the line was out the door, I watched him sweat nervously as his beady eyes frantically scanned the line for all of the attractive girls he would have to award free drinks...perhaps the regulars remember him. Another time I ordered a latte that tasted like hot milk, and the OTHER times I ordered a latte here, they were badly burnt by baristas who were busy concentrating on their hatred for their jobs. The only reason I entered this establishment so frequently was because my healthcare representative had an office located nearby. It really is the only coffee shop close enough for convenience. Please, somebody open a reputable cafe near the college and high school campus--you'll make a killing and will be thanked by everyone who has suffered the torment of Hillel Place Starbucks. read more

This is the Starbucks by Brooklyn College on Hillel St. Great place. However, I placed 2 meals via mobile order. A chicken salad bowl and a sandwich. The beans, quinoa and corn in my bowl was frozen. The sandwich had the carrots and apples frozen as well. The lady, Carol took a picture of my rewards number and said she will call customer service to credit my account. It has been a week now and no action has been taken. How can you give frozen salad and sandwich? I had to wait for the vegetables to thaw so I can mix into the salad. The dressing by the way was lumpy because it was just about but not so frozen. I wanted to rate a zero but... I had to put something down. read more

Third review. At some point last year, they renovated. They also changed the staff. Everyone I've encountered so far has been fast, efficient, and best of all knowledgeable about the coffee. The new team is also very polite and helpful. The customer service has improved so much that I'm happy to change my review and my rating. read more

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm more than a little bit of a Starbucks hater. The reason are plentiful and, admittedly, not entirely original. I'm not a fan of blob-like monstrosities that manage to devour whole portions of cities--if I want to see that kind of action, I'm sure tuning into the Sci-Fi channel at 4Am would fill the bill nicely. Still, I have to confess that I dig the Hillel Starbucks--and I'm not even a coffee drinker. It has a very relaxed vibe (at least on the two Sundays I've been there) that is very conducive to reading a book or working on the ol' notebook. As mentioned in previous posts, the staff is super-friendly and go out of their ways to please the costumer. Kind of sad that in this day and age that's not an universal, but 'tis NYC life in the '09. This is the first review of a place of consumption where I did not mention the drinks or grub, but, well, I hate coffee, too. 3 stars for comfy chairs, nice location, and kickin' baristas. read more

My drink was disgusting..... I ordered a Frappuccino and basically got a milkshake...

Don't expect fast and excellent service due to the fact that this SB is usually filled with Brooklyn College students. Lines can be long (sometimes out the door) and drink orders can take a little longer than expected. All good though. Everyone, especially me, needs some caffeine in life! Grab a coffee, have a seat in the seating area, and enjoy there free wifi :) read more

Very, very dusty. Not like dirt accumulation from lack of hygiene dust, I mean all around mannerisms and etiquette dusty. How dare you send an order with all the drinks and none of the food? The blasphemy. Do you not have parents in who you wouldn't dare tarnish their legacy? What were you all born into this world for? To fail? If so, mission accomplished. The kicker? The crescendo? The grand finale'? Your idea of a strawberry funnel cake Frappuccino was to put strawberry syrup on top of a regular frozen Frappuccino. JFC. Lord have mercy. The dustiness. The sheer dustiness. read more

Somehow this place manages to cater to an entire college of bitchy, stressed students in dire need of caffeine. Granted, there's another (much smaller) Starbucks on the BC campus itself, but it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the full experience, so most students go to this one. This place sees crazy volumes of customers every day, and yet the long lines aren't so bad when you see how quickly they move. The seating arrangements are good, but I wish they'd put in another chair or two in the back, since it can become a bit of a silent war on who gets the armchairs sometimes. Overall the atmosphere is comfortable though. Starbucks as a whole really tries to sell too much useless crap on the side (teddy bears, oddly-shaped mugs you'll never really use, CD of crappy bands, whatever). I'd give the place 5 stars if they didn't seem to be out of prime ingredients so often (chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, cider, etc). Oh well. I guess it just saves me the empty calories if they can't make my favorite drink (Double Chocolate Chip Frappe in the summer and Caramel Apple Cider in the winter) that day. :p read more

Not really my cup of tea or should I say coffee only bothered to venture in because my wireless service was acting up do not really approve of employees loudly discussing television shows and about musicians in front of customers especially about some type of show with a lady called Stacy Dash where apparently she is being physically abused by her lover and then they also make a lot of noise in the little prep area by slamming down the espresso jugs another thing that has me on fire is that both staff and customers staring down others as if that person is known to them so not cool and very rude ps: I must say though that the two girls won't really so bad looking but would I hire them I think not but perhaps they are skilled in other areas :) read more

Omg the staff are so so rude ! The line was huge and moving so slow . We will never be back .. read more

Starbucks are slow and inefficient as a rule - they have more people taking orders for drinks than making them, and you can get stuck waiting for your cup of coffee behind a line of complicated drinks. But this is flat-out the worst Starbucks. They have plenty of employees, but things move ridiculously slowly anyway. They used to have a manager who kept things moving, but that's in the past. They've also remodeled and taken away seating in the process... brilliant! Of course, they have a captive audience with Brooklyn College right next door, but if you're going anywhere near a peak hour.... bring a good book. read more

Could be better. A few new faces here who is not use to the fast-pace, but overall, they get their job done. Usually a line due to the amount of human traffic. read more

The manager turns up the air conditioner to freeze out the patrons at the tables in the back. At the same time she turns on the heat for the upfront part of the store so she doesn't freeze while behind the counter. I kid you not, seems a tad ungrateful for the business. read more

Literally worst Starbucks ever. They never want to turn on mobile ordering so I have to wait 15 mins just to order and then another 10 to get my order... ridiculous! They're always out of cold brew and the baristas have a nasty attitude (females baristas specifically, they'll serve the guys but won't even look at me). Awful place read more

This place is rediculous. You literely have to be ready to wait 30 min for a drink...hire more people if its bussy...get another ezpresso machine...do somethng! I only go here when i have 45 min to spare. read more

Starbucks - Garbage filled to max. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Medium interior, EXCELLENT service from the barista. They actually converse with their customers; amazing! Last Spring I scored two frappaccinos for the price of one. Someone left or "forgot" to pick-up their drink and the barista gave me both. I do recall another time when I ordered a Tall Vanilla bean, it took approximately 30 minutes, and after my wait, the tall cups were unavailable so I got a Grande for the same price; sweet. read more

Good luck! And if you are lucky enough to be "helped" by the young lady with her hair tied up, get ready to get the nastiest service you have ever got at a Starbucks. I'm a Brooklyn college student with a caffeine addiction, and I buy my coffee elsewhere unless I have no other choice. read more

Pretty good place! Just moved here from California. No Starbucks near Downstate so decided to go to the one near Brooklyn College instead. Even on Rosh Hashanah Monday, it was crowded enough such that there was only one available spot for me to sit. Still, I was satisfied. Got 3.5 hours of studying done in an efficient manner. People here are nice. It's not 5 stars b/c I've been to much bigger ones, and bigger is better. read more

This Starbucks is mostly filled with Brooklyn College students & staff, but it can get quite a few Midwood HS kids too. Always bustling. Very friendly staff - glad to have that when I frequent it so much. They even took the time to recommend that I add the pumpkin spice flavor to my chai in the future - and it was a great suggestion, yum! Now there's a Starbucks inside the Target around the corner, but I doubt this location will see any decrease in numbers. One of the baristas here makes my skim chai latte exactly right and I am very happy when I see he's working. read more

Worst customer service ever. Placed an mobile order waited for 20 minutes only to find out that they ran out of item, got a refund and went to class empty handed. Basically was late for my exam for nothing. Poor customer service. Their employees need to check what they are out and post it online before they open the shift. It happened to me million times at this location I would walk there, wait for a really long time just to get a refund. read more

Gosh I dislike this place, but I'm always in the area because I go to BC. Otherwise I would'nt dump my money into SixBucks for a cup of sugar. On top of that they ALWAYS screw up my order!! Why is it so hard to grasp the concept of CAPpuccino and not that disgusting Frapuccino they offer. Geez I dont have a speech impediment!! And their cappuccino froth-espresso ratio is waaaay off in my opinion! But my guess is most ppl don't care about this because they get 2 tons of whipped cream doused on top anyway. And why is it when I offer my reusable travel mug for my drinks they look at me like I just got off the short yellow bus??!!! Wake up ppl and stop trying to txt and take my order at the same time!!! read more

I am a Brooklyn College student, and like all of us, have visited many Starbucks over the years... but this one has great service, super friendly people, and fast service on top of it all (which is saying a lot, considering the mad rush they get of students throughout the day). read more
