I've never seen a coffee place handle a rush like this starbucks. It's not big, a small corner of a hospital lobby, but they are fully stocked and crank out the drinks. It's also open late which is nice when you have to pull an all nighter. At 7pm the lobby door next to the starbucks gets locked. You can enter the west doors, they're always open. read more

Waited a bit too long for a caramel macchiato. 13 minutes to be exact. Plus they do not regularly (daily) clean out their machines. If your coffee has a "burnt" taste, it means it's old coffee grounds they are using because the machine has not been cleaned out. It was awful but I drank it because I paid for it!! Zero stars. read more

Starbucks - Proof I bought a caramel macchiato today and at that location. The staff are friendly but the product sucks ass. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

They treated me really good at this location twice already so I will b going for a 3th time later on. Friendly both shifts second and 3th also haven't tried the first shift yet but I'm sure they will be good as well. read more

I expect it is busier during the regular work week but I was here at 9 am on a Saturday and sped right through! Great service, I was greeted and she also wished me a nice day! This is a busy Starbucks as it's in Northwestern and the mobile orders were keeping the staff quite busy, but I think the team managed a brisk pace and I enjoyed my raspberry boba and glazed donut! read more

I love this location, small but cozy. What can you expect from downtown Chicago? I usually have 5 shots espresso

The food and service is excellent. I have never seen such a well organized staff working together so efficiently.

Always behind on the orders, sometimes over 10-20 minutes behind. inconsistent drinks, and often the coffee is burned. Also it is not uncommon that random people take your drink and walk away. read more

I purchased a beverage here today 10/5/22 to take to my daughter while in the hospital and when she got to the bottom of the beverage she noticed that the entire top part of Im assuming what looks like the top of a whip cream bottle?!!! Seriously guys?? I had to place one star because it wouldn't me allow to place no stars. This is the type of service you provide? It's careless and inappropriate and disgusting! read more

This particular Starbucks location services Northwestern Hospital, it's staff and patients. So with that said, it is a no nonsense spot to grab a coffee and keep moving. There was a short line which gave me time to observe. There were people trying to restock, which kind of made it difficult for the others to assist customers. It all seemed a bit bumbling. I watched the woman on the register assist 3 people in front of me. No smile, no good morning, no greeting at all. I did not hear a thank you either. When it was my turn, I ordered a simple black coffee, paid with my phone and moved along. She did mumble a greeting and seemed relieved that I knew what I wanted. I know it is probably not a lot of fun but maybe try to fake it. I was glad I was not a problem customer and helped make her day just a bit easier. Word to the staff - since you are inside the hospital, your customers may have just gotten bad news or are filled with anxiety waiting to see their doctor. A touch of warmth can go a very long way. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It's in Northwestern Memorial Hospital, 1st floor in Feinbrug building. It is open back at 24/7. If you get your coffee or drink in the morning, it is busy and hectic. Everyone getting there morning rush. Also, same goes for the afternoon and sometimes the evening. Best time to go is at night or weekend. Less crowds to deal with. The night shift staff are pretty cool and chill. They do accommodate to your specific drinks if you ask. They triple check to make sure you want your milk or whip cream or not. Overall it's super friendly during the night. read more

Me and my wife just had a baby two buildings over in the wee hours of the morning. I needed coffee and she needed food. I didn't want to leave her with my newborn for long so I downloaded the Starbucks app and placed my first order for pick up. The order states "when you arrive head straight to the pickup counter and ask the barista for an order for Name (my name)". I do so, and get childed with a "does that bag say (my name)?" I'm not an idiot, I can read. I just want to make sure I'm taking the right order, having never done this before. read more

Always an issue with my drink. Today I received my $5.50 matcha half full of foam aka half empty. Employees have places to be, we can't complain and wait around for a new one to be made. Great start to my day Starbucks. read more

Starbucks - a hand holding a cup of green tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

this Starbucks is super great and efficient! They handle really high volume from the nearby hospital. Staff is always very friendly! There is seating in the lobby of the hospital for patients and people picking up their coffee. However probably not the best place to get work done. read more

Slowest service ever.. the so-called barista was very rude. No greeting, no smile, and slower than a snail. How do you expect to get a tip with that attitude? If I can rate no stars, I would. read more

I hope this storehouses permanently the employees are ignorant and rude. They have a shotty snotty attitude. They keep people waiting, get orders wrong and don't know how to make my drink. They also never greet their customers. I only want here after my appointment I hate this store they need new manager. The supervisor socks just like the batista. The memory of their customers is zero. They also don't like their jobs. I always say I'd you don't like your job leave door blame it on your customers. read more

The 3 stars is because it's a Starbucks and in my work place so super convenient and gives me the boost I need. However this place makes me late every time I order on the go in the morning. Be warned!! Ordering on the go in the morning takes 20 minutes for them to make your coffee. For a Starbucks I think that's 10 minutes too long. I always feel like my order doesn't go through. And then they make me feel like the crazy one for asking. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Starbucks. And these employees are busy all day since they are located one the 1st floor of Northwestern. read more

Ordered lattes at 9a for folks in the hospital who don't consume refined / processed sugars. Go to station with them after order comes through, and surprised to find raw sugar compartments empty. No honey either... Just refined / processed sugars. Asked staff for raw sugars for our large order, and was told, "We don't have no raw sugar." No apology. Plenty of attitude. Really? Like this isn't standard Starbucks issue? Others are hearing this, and are equally surprised by this new, in-your-face business model. We could have gone to Dunkin Donuts--which was much closer and less expensive--if I wanted to be treated like a pretentious fool when asking for more natural sugars. read more

Wow! Why can't Chicagoans get more 24/7 Starbucks locations? A rare sight, thank your late night baristas! read more

This place is going to get me through med school... open 24 hours! For those 4am caffeine cravings. The only catch is that if you want to study there, the lights go dim at 9pm, making it hard to stay awake. Oh and if you can, avoid the peak times of 8, 9 and 10am. Or you'll be greeted with a looooong line, read more

The girls are too noisy.. The yell, scream and laugh so hard that you can hear their annoying laughters far away.... Un professional... Starbucks employs courteous, polite and respectful people... This is a hospital setting... They should quiet... and behave.. Starsbucks managers, what's going on ???? read more

They don't know how to make drinks - not the worst Starbucks (better than ones at airports), but still not going back there. Only reason I go to Starbucks is because I know what to expect from there (whole point of franchise). But this one is nothing like standard Starbucks. There is no quality control done at this location. There are couple other locations within couple blocks radius, so go there, not here. Feel bad for hospital employees, they are being ripped off by Starbucks, because Starbucks knows that customer will keep coming for the convenience regardless of the quality of the drinks. read more

I'm always glad I have a Starbucks location so close! May I just recommend you all ask kindly, to all the people picking up their coffees, to take a couple of steps back away from the TO GO counter. Otherwise the whole purpose of "social distancing " and the efforts of keeping everyone safe from COVID-19 is pointless! Kindly approach the counter to pick up your drink and walk away .... PLEASE!!! read more

Starbucks - two people standing at a counter in a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Do not go to this Starbucks. Never seem such disrespect shown by an employee before... my gf walked in ordering a coffee. When asked what her name was (usual protocol) the barista said, "you don't look like a Jessica." My gf is Chinese/Mexican.... he then proceeded with, "you look more like a Ming or a Ling.. or a Ming-Ling".... visibly upset, my gf silently waited for her coffee (already paid) the barista further demonstrated his utter ignorance, "don't be upset, I'm just stereotyping." Seriously Starbucks, classy employees you have there... If I could give it 0 stars.. I would. This place has forever kept me from your beverages. I will be taking my patronage elsewhere. read more

I cannot believe this hasn't yet been reviewed! This place is open 23 (or 24?) hours a day! Oh no - I might have just ruined it for everyone that works and goes to school here. read more

These people work hard and deal with a lot of bs. I'm super grateful to have them at this location. They helped keep me awake through the initial covid craziness and continue to do so today. read more

The workers here are some of the nicest I've ever come across at a Starbucks. They have always been upbeat when I've gone through at all times of the morning, afternoon and night. The fact that they are open from 4:30a.m to 3:00a.m is amazeBALLS and extremely smart from a business perspective. I mean think about how much money this location brings in from family & friends visiting loved ones overnight, employees from all different departments of the hospital working the night shift, students pulling all-nighters and neighborhood dwellers like me who randomly need their Starbucks fix at odd hours. Definitely a fan and I plan on becoming the Duke of this Starbucks! LOL :-) read more

Worst Starbucks I've ever been to. Even though its the most convenient place for me to get coffee, and I went there almost every day for several months, I've just stopped going to this starbucks because of the terrible service, and instead visit au bon pain for coffee in a pinch ,or go a few blocks away to the Starbucks on Ontario. Sometimes, the employees put out a few drinks and don't call out what they are, and if you ask if one of them is your drink, they will either legitimately YELL at you, or completely ignore you. I've gotten the wrong drink three times because of this, and when I tried to tell them, they were extremely rude about giving me the drink i'd ordered. A couple of times, they ran out of an ingredient, but didn't say so before charging me for a drink (I can't tell you how many times I've ordered a blonde roast or bold coffee and paid for it, only for them to tell me they don't have it). Also FYI, they don't have a toaster, so don't expect a toasted bagel. read more

I ordered a drink, they got it wrong. I told the barista and he was like "oh, sorry, I know what you wanted." I'm thinking ok great, they're on it." Then - the supervisor comes over and says that I owe them an additional .60 cents. Really, You get the order wrong then you ask me to pay for it because when I said heavy whipping cream you put whipped cream in my coffee? Really? Not only was the supervisor rude, she was unapologetic. Very "off brand" experience from the supervisor. The barista was lovely, however. Perhaps they should keep in mind that given their locale, some people are actually visit their dying relatives and need a kind interaction. It's a hospital Starbucks - I would expect some COMPASSION. read more

It's the only 24-hr Starbucks remotely in vicinity, and the coffee and espresso drinks are very well-crafted (like most downtown Starbucks). And there is an academic vibe, with med students studying for boards and hospital employees frequenting the location (though occasionally homeless people hanging out). My only other contention is that sometimes some of the employees can be rude. Unlike most downtown Chicago Starbucks, where the employees are ridiculously nice. read more

Like many hardcore Yelpers, I love great coffee at quirky, locally owned coffee shops. Absent that, this Starbucks meets THREE of my road warrior requirements: (1) It's open 24 hours; (2) It has plenty of room to spread out and plug in, if you need a workspace to get something done before you head to your next appointment (or flight); (3) It stocks Starbucks' full food menu, so you can get a decent lunch or snack And it's easy to hail a cab because it's within a couple blocks of Michigan Avenue. read more

My stomachs hurts. Your ice cold Frappuccino froze my tongue and burnt my but. Diarrhea for days.

24/7 Caffeination!!! If you're like me, then I stop in for a 3am hot cocoa break, followed by a post-work congratulatory cocoa for surviving through the night. There's usually a fairly decent line in the a.m. as you place an order through someone wearing a drive-thru-esque headpiece. You know deadlines/exams are coming up when there are people scattered nearby diligently studying. It gets a little too dim for my liking at 3am, but decent if you are in need of a quiet place at odd hours. read more

My favorite pick me upper morning and afternoon. Service is always quick and friendly!

This location is inside Northwestern. I've been twice and both times they got my drink right. One time I ordered at the cashier and one time via the app. I am here a lot and will be for a while to come and am so happy that this location gets the drinks right! read more

I'm NOT a fan of this location. The girls here are unprofessional; rude to customers, loud & argue with each other in front of the loooong line. They also don't pay attention to special requests causing them to mess up orders & in return creating a bottleneck. I tend to avoid this location when specific 2 girls are working together. read more

Fast & convenient.... and very close to my inlaw's condo...... They are always busy, and keep the line moving.... They carry just about all the the pastry goods... except for anything that needs to be heated up! (Please get one of those ovens soon, I was dying for one of those great egg sandwiches yesterday morning!) They also are open for 24/7 for the medical staff there at Northwestern Hospital.... and for those in the are just needing a cup of Joe! I am happy I found them not so long ago.... (But get one of those ovens!) read more

So, being a college student, I have many nights where I need to stay up late. Starbucks is always one of my first choices outside university libraries. This location is great because its relatively quiet and peaceful, and open 24/7. I didn't think I'd ever write a review for a Starbucks, but feel I that the outstanding service calls for it Ryan, one of the baristas and cashiers recommended a coffee brewed by a machine (I believe it to be called the "Clover"). What it does is brew their specialty coffee in a cup sized serving. I recommend trying a regular coffee (or iced) using the other specialty roasts. When I asked for something delicious with a good amount of caffeine, he recommended the blonde roast ( my recent favorite). I had a Iced (blonde roast) coffee, sweetened, with soy milk. Best coffee I've had in a while! Ryan's enthusiasm in his recommendation made my Gf and I's experience pleasant, and he even made us laugh a few times. Thanks Again! read more

Fast convenient service despite long lines. Hey, other people like their coffee the same times I enjoy my coffee too. The staff keep the line moving so don't be discouraged. They also have clover machine brewed coffee! They are single cup brewed with exotic and rarer single origin beans. Go for the Jamaican Blue Mountain or exotic Sumatra if you like it hot and heavy! It's the aged prime double cut porterhouse of coffees. These make my usual bold red-eyes (bold blend plus an espresso shot) taste bland, 'cause yes, I like it hot and heavy. Yes, it costs more but you'll know where your money went- wasn't that from Pulp Fiction? read more

This starbucks is hidden inside the Feinberg Pavilion on the first floor. It's usually busy most of the time since NMH employees are on different shifts and always going in and out. Considering how busy this location gets I'm surprised that I've never had to wait too long for my order. In my opinion this Starbucks is actually quicker with orders compared to the Starbucks on the corner of Erie/St. Clair right under the Hyatt. I've experienced longer wait times there. read more

I was looking for a Chicago cup and I found one at this location, however it was filled with coffee stoppers . "Howard" I hope that was his name. Went out of his way to help me . He washed the cup and put it in a new box for me . I really didn't want anything but I got a tea just because he was so helpful... He deserves a raise for sure .. read more
