**Update (3 to 5 stars)*** Since I started going to the gym nearby I have been frequenting this location since my initial visits. Something has definitely changed for the best here! The baristas are friendlier, the service is fast and my orders are always accurate! The interior is always impeccable. I really enjoy sitting by the window and people watching while I do research. The location cannot get better, and parking is surprisingly easy for Garden City. My only issue with this place is it closes at 9:30. It should be open until 10 like the location in Warwick because why wouldn't I want more of a great thing! ___________________________________________________________________________ I was so disappointed with this location. While the store is beautiful (kudos on the renovation) I could not believe how terrible the baristas were. They really give off the aura that they hate they're job. Not only are they kind of rude, but whoever was suppose to be supervising last Tuesday is doing an absolutely terrible job. To avoid the long line I ordered my coffee on my app. I waited & waited, finally over 15 mins later I go up to the counter concerned the order had not gone through. Oh it did, they just made the coffee and left in the corner somewhere behind the counter. Not only did they not call me, they did even bother to put it in an accessible place on the counter where I could see it. So I ended up with wasted time and warm, instead of hot coffee...great. Next, the canisters of milk were nowhere to be found. I had to ask for skim milk, after standing and waiting some more. I was finally handed a half-gallon of skin milk O_o? They still didn't put the milk canisters out. They just left a gallon of half & half on the counter, for at least an hour (I was there from 6:30-8:30), I do not think that is sanitary. The entire time the staff just seemed to be struggling, even w/ 3 people working. Furthermore, the line was nowhere near the lengthy lines I have seen at other locations, especially during happy hour promotions. After getting accustomed to the awesome service in Eastern Iowa, dealing with the baristas at this location made a bad impact. I started going to Dunkin & McDonald's for coffee since they're closer, cheaper and at least I half-expect poor service. read more

Thursday afternoon and it wasn't busy and the atmosphere was calm! This is a normal and typical Starbucks, and the staff was so friendly! I was even complimented on my cool pompom sa riot accessory I had on~ it just made my day brighter today. Bathrooms have no codes, so that was great, and plenty of seating. Weekends are busier but within week days, there isn't too many people around. I even noticed some kids studying here which was sweet. Food and drinks were normal for a Starbucks location. read more

Needed to buy my daughter cake pops for her 10th bday at school. I dreaded the expense. But I was quickly over that and it was worth it after the great experience and royal treatment we got at SB in Garden City. Shout out to Alex and Gracie who wer informative, fun, helpful and even gave her two free pops to eat now/celebrate her day. Totally professional and efficient place, I don't drink coffee but was so impressed I'll return for the service, great vibes and product. read more

Pumpkin cold brew with foam wins every time!! Great staff that always make you feel right ar home

This is definitely my favorite, or one of my favorite Starbucks! There is never really a line and if there is one- it's a short one because the staff here is pretty quick and efficient! The place is small but designed well and it's usually pretty clean and neat. Although tonight I came in near closing and it was a bit messy. Can't beat their cinnamon dolce latte's! They are amazing! Their home made whip cream is delicious as well! Staff is always friendly! 5 stars read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

I just came here to say I just got a coffee on the mobile app 09/04 at about 10:45 and the A team is working today. My coffee was ready in two minutes and tastes DELICIOUS. They are making them quickly and with love today. Thanks for starting my day off right I am floating away on pumpkin cold foam. read more

A Starbucks lover, especially around the holidays when they bring back my fav, eggnog latte. YES! This one was very modern and obviously renovated. There are plenty of seating for 1,2 or 10... Take your pick. The service was fast and friendly and the put my name on the cup, albeit, misspelled, but good effort. They lost a star because my grande wasn't full and for the price I pay, you gotta be kidding me???? Get it together people! read more

Starbucks - Great lounge area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

just left this location wanted to purchase (1) ice coffee (1) english muffin sandwich and a $25.00 gift card,the smllest bill I happen to have was a/$50.00. so my bill would have been roughly around $37.00 which ends up being $13.00 change. This place would not except a $ 50.00 bill . We are absolutly doomed with the young people running these stores... I just got off the phone with corp ( JUSTIN) US AND CANADA customer service and said this 100% shouldnt have been handle this way.. all i can say is ASS FROM ELBOW... read more

Used to be one of my favorite stops.I love to walk around Garden City with a fresh cup of coffee. LAst few times I have been there between 7:30-8:30 at night the place looked closed. When I ask for cream I am handed the milk jug. Piles of dirt on floor that I have to walk around. All the food in display case is gone. I feel like more of an inconvenience than a customer. read more

I come here nearly every single day. There is one barista who I believe is new, ( 2-3 months in maybe ) and She seems to have an attitude issue, and she makes a crappy cup of coffee, and the last time I got coffee made by her, I asked for a venti, and my cup was missing almost 2 inches of coffee... I paid $5.12, for that crap? I believe someone else posted just this month about this " blond" with an attitude.. she's no beuno! All the other girls there are fantastic.. so warm and friendly, always kind! I love it when a particular lady makes me coffee, I think she may be a manager.. she makes the best cup!! Guys, the new lady is no good! She got all huffy and puffy with me when I told her she gave me the incorrect topping for my oatmeal, she said I didn't ask for the " seed and nut medley".. when it is what I get every morning, I know what I asked for. Boo! I'll change my rating when I get a full cup of coffee in my Venti and That lady is gone! She is not barista material.. read more

Starbucks - My coffee made by a Barista that cant properly measure for a venti cup. Thanks for the Grande size in a Venti cup(price too). - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

I love Starbucks. It's my treat when I travel and on the weekends. The coffee can't be beat. I have also love getting the free songs on the starbucks app and from the cards in the store in the past. My one beef is that when I use my app to pay, whether I buy three coffees or only one I still only get one star towards my rewards. read more

Rae is the best !!!!! Thanks so much for your great service and friendly nature:) best experience at a coffee place ever !!! Thanks so much!!!!! I ordered a cookie mocha frap and a caramel iced coffee both made perfectly to order- and quickly. I will definitely be going back to this location again!! read more

Went to this location because they were supposed to be open until 9:30. We pulled in at 9:00 and the door was locked with employees looking at the door. The sign on the door also clearly stated they're open until 9:30. I understand changing closing time but at least change the sign on the door and the website. Won't be back. read more

online ordering should not be "held hostage" behind the counter. When you walk in the barista's ignore you and if you attempt to stand at the counter they are rude and ignorant. Not good at all. 90 % of the time your order isn't accurate either. read more

I like supporting local businesses but this Starbucks does it right. I'm from Seattle and I worked at Starbucks for several years. Normally when I go to a Starbucks I'm disappointed because the shots are expired or the milk is old or it just doesn't taste right. Pretty annoying when you pay $374.28 for a coffee that costs 38 cents to make. Anyway EVERY time I've gone to this Starbucks I've been completely satisfied. I know the way Starbucks works and how they really enforce company policies and customer satisfaction and this store nails it on the head. If you need a quick pick me up and you're in Cranston go grab something tasty. read more

It's been a little while since I've been to this location. While it's the only Starbucks in the immediate vicinity, it was cramped, chaotic and not convenient. I happened to stop in yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to find it was totally redone and expanded. Clean, brightly lit and with lots of leg room, it's definitely an improvement. However, sadly, the staff could still use improvement. When it comes to Starby's, the quality of the drinks can be somewhat consistent so the staff's attitude can really make or break a location. Advice: -attempt- to be pleasant, friendly or even neutral. Even if you hate your job. (We've all been there.) read more

I am a bit bias because my fabulous sister works at this location, but it's nice because I can give some in-site too. Jen is a spicy chica who's always up for a good laugh to brighten the day. Kelly can whip up a drink like a pro and she makes the BEST Caramel apple spices'! Plus she's cute. Chelsea is so sweet and can always offer a smile :) Meghan is your go to store manager, she walks the line and tows the line around those parts. I can tell you that the Batista's really DO know their stuff. They are very knowledgeable about their products, and train often on new and upcoming products. Starbucks has its own language, and although the Barista's may know what you mean when you say a "large hot caramely chocolaty thing with skim that I usually get at Dunkin" (Grande Caramel Mocha Nonfat), they are not mind readers. Although they will try their hardest don't be mad that they do not know what you want, when YOU do not even know what you want. The store is well kept and cleaned daily as is should be. The merchandise is always stocked and faced accordingly. The Batista's are all very pleasant - even if you are not. They really do appreciate your tips. The manager is on top of everything that goes on in that store and will pretty much do anything to make you happy. Witnessed that the day she hopped in her car and drove to Thayer street to find a Jamaican blend coffee for a patron. The store is TINY- That is why I am so happy that they are remodeling this spring and will have a temporary walk up window! read more

Small, cramped, busy and short tempered staff. Add to that the filth of this location. Yuck. Copious amounts of dust and dirt around the displays and carts and along the ledges where they make the coffees. I won't be back here. Unless I'm hankering for some salmonella. read more

Its clean and spacious and a good place to use free WiFi, read, do hw, etc. I only ever order 3 things: either a caramel frapp which always comes out good, an iced caramel macchiato, or my usual Grande iced sweetened with caramel sauce. Depending on who is making the drinks that day, I will either get too little or too Much caramel, but sometimes its just right. The below reviews mentioning the rude blonde barista are pretty accurate. She definitely should not be doing any type of customer service. Also I love their multi grain bagels and they always seem to only carry 2 in the entire day???? So if I get there for a late morning breakfast it's literally a hit or miss on whether I'll get one or not! Like why don't they carry more in the back? Step up your food game Starbucks. .... read more

We all know Starbucks. In fact, some of us have quite the addiction to our mermaid friend. This is mainly just a shout out to how fabulous the staff is here. They are always friendly and courteous. Despite being a popular location, sometimes with long lines, they never falter from their amazing service. Always is my go-to location! read more

So, I have to start this off with stating, disregard all of the small and cramped comments on here. Sometime in the past year or 2 (I know its since I started my current job) Starbucks has remained at the same address, but has expanded massively as part of the whole Garden City revitalization that has gone down. This is now a legit coffee house, seats, bars, comfy chairs, places to actually hang out and catch up or get some work done. Once upon a time I'm pretty sure the folks at this 'bucks could have my order ready before I got up to the front of the line. My most recent experience ended in a wait for a latte (my friend and I were the only patrons waiting for drinks) and a latte that got progressively worse as i continued drinking (all the Pumpkin spiciness was at the bottom of the cup, ice) One thing I saw here that I haven't at other Starbucks was some anniversary blend coffee, neat stuff. read more

This is the Starbucks near my mom's apartment, so it's where I head when am visiting her and need free wifi (and free refills with my gold card). The people who work here, as at most Starbucks, are friendly. The coffee is good but the line tends to move slowly. So while it might not be my first choice when in a rush, it is a nice place to visit on a day when you have time to sit in their comfortable inside seating or enjoy your beverage out on the terrace. So really the score is 3.5 stars. One suggestion...when someone orders coffee, please ask if they would like you to leave room for milk as I hate dumping some into the trash when I forget to ask them to do so. On the other hand, at least they don't short you on the pour! read more

This Starbucks is fine for work but their medicine ball tea is disgusting. At all other Starbucks it tastes delicious where as here its steamed lemonade. Ew. read more

THIS Starbucks is terrible!! Though it is a Starbucks and I'm a huge fan of the coffee, the service and staff at this location are terrible at every aspect of their job. They are slow, degrading and disrespectful with attitudes that I cannot put into words. I am speaking for myself and what I witness when I am on line. The scariest part is that is better than it was several years ago. Great location, beautiful interior and exterior but I avoid it whenever possible due to the terrible staff. read more

Only 4 Bc lately there is a new blonde lady taking orders & she's so damn rude, coffee is always made right, get here early because the baked goods go super quick, line always moves quick no matter how long it may be. Parking can be a pain, out door seating is awesome when the weather cooperates! read more

The best Starbucks in Rhode Island. The morning crew members are so pleasant every time I order from here! The drinks and service here has always been consistent. 5/5 read more

I must agree with Mike D. from New Britain, CT. But if I can add to that small, cramped, busy coffee house... their service is a bit slow. I was spoil with a starbuck in the same building in my old office and with the Midwest starbuck corporate office just across the street... their service was impeccable! Two stars for getting this order wrong, a few verbal repeats and asking if I want whip cream... upside down quad venti soy caramel macchiato. When I was planning to move to rhode island for work, I routed a travel plans to have this starbucks as my daily pit stop. Apparently this isn't the case. I recommend this place to anyone that wants to order a standard drink... try not to add a few modifiers... read more

Small and Cramped for a Starbucks store. I had to move several times just to get out of the way of people. The service wasn't friendly or rude it was just ok. I asked for a iced coffee with milk, but ended up getting just an ice coffee. I had to dump some of my coffee out in the trash and use the milk that was sitting out by the sugar. It was just annoying because they had ice coffee with milk on the menu. Parking is a little bad too. Not to much for spaces up front, but there is a little side parking lot tucked in the back by the Williams and Sonoma. I will probadly go back if I am shopping, but I doubt I would ever get a table there and attempt to do work. read more

This location has expanded, and it looks fabulous! Tons of group and single seating, an attractive market style cabinet that houses an array of fresh meal options, and spotless bathrooms. I am not a coffee fan, but when I do get the urge, I head to this Starbucks. The place is so clean, one could eat off the floor. The staff is friendly and accommodating, but most importantly, they're pleasant! Every person I've encountered seems very happy. Beverages are served quickly, and with smile, and there's a constant, never unprofessional rapport between the workers. The manager and supervisors are efficient and attentive. 5 stars for great service! read more

I will start off by saying I am a Starbucks fan, this store has some great qualities as well as some bad ones. SERVICE - Always seem to have an excellent staff, they make great drinks and treat the customers right!! Yeahhh FACILITY - This is the smallest most cramped store I have ever been in, the seating is very limited and uncomfortable. Also, the front window faces directly into the sun all afternoon. Finally, there is no outside seating. A great store but not so great location. read more

I love Starbucks it's my go-to place every morning & I also come around lunch time. I'm very picky with my drink more so because not everyone can make it how it should be done. The Mocha Frappuccino does NOT go with drizzle on the whip cream. I'd appreciate it if the staff would be well aware of it. The Mocha Frappuccino is slightly different from the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino & they make the Regular Mocha Frappuccino as if it was a Cookie one. I'm not a fan of the drizzle on my whip cream and every time I order my online order for pick up they always add the drizzle if I request no drizzle they give me no whip cream too. unless I order my drink inside they make it perfect cause I always have to order it & say No Drizzle. I shared two photos one was ordered inside with me verbally having to say NO DRIZZLE and one in the app with them adding it when it doesn't go with it. I also added the images from the actual Starbucks web and it shows the drinks image as they should be done. read more

Average service. Fast drinks. Nothing left in the display to choose from. The seating area looks better now. Bigger. The staff are tired today, busy weekend. I liked my latte. Pretty good. read more

Since management has changed at this location, I have a noticed a huge difference in quality of service. The manager accepts only the best service and provides the best service as well. The staff is always friendly, ready and willing to accommodate the needs of their customers. As said in a previous review, the shelves are neat and well stocked. I tend to not know what the drinks are called and if I describe them, someone can figure out what it is I want. They can usually make suggestions to what I should try as well. Because of this, I have now become a huge fan of the Java Chip Frappuccino! I have not had issues with flies or stale pastries though I don't regularly order food. My only complaint is the facility. Could it be any smaller? It is like sitting in a broom closet! Not sure who came up with that design! It is great news that they will be expanding in the Spring! I will feel as though I can sit and drink my beverage. read more

This is the most frustrating Starbucks! It is one block from my house, so I am stuck using this place. My experience is that for every 5 visits, four of the orders will be wrong. If I ask for Sugar Free Vanilla in my latte, they will put regular vanilla with sugar. If I ask for 3 splendas, they will 'forget' or tell me I can add it. The newest thing is that they automatically use skim milk in every drink, and now I have to either watch that they used 2% or ask them. Heaven forbid that I ask them to remake my drink, that will result in major eye-rolling. I have been getting the same drink since 2007, and this is the only Starbucks that can't handle my drink! On the flip-side, the decor and neighborhood make this the nicest Starbucks in the state! read more

Very friendly staff. Knows most customers' names and what they drink.

Just went here this morning with my sister and sister. We orders two venti strawberry lemonade with raspberry. She has blonde hair and was very rude about it. First made a comment "what? What is that?" And asked us again and turn around and said "well okay!".... read more

Happy to be a semi regular customer of this place. The employees are all pretty friendly and helpful. They don't mess up the drinks and always seem to have a pretty good stock of snacks and pastries. read more
