This Starbucks bends over backwards for their online orders, walk-ins not so much. Often, I come in and the understaffed group is working furiously to fill their online orders. Today waited 5 min to order, 5 min for a coffee and then over 15 min for a pastry to be heated. Half way through the wait, I was given a gift card for my time. Twice during the wait I was told it's in the oven (it wasn't in the oven). Finally, I walked out because I needed to go to work. I understand the morning rush, but they need to find a way to service their walk in customers. read more

Great place for a date. Grab a coffee with a smile and great vibes inside. Outside on a chilly afternoon with warm lattes can't be better.

Consistent 20 minute wait times at all times. No sense of urgency. Perhaps should switch to Gregory's

I love this Starbucks. they get my coffee just right but more importantly- they are just so nice. the manager I don't know his name is just full of positive happy energy- it spills with the other employees and eveyone is just working hard and giving great customer service. happy Friday here - happy Friday there - they look like they enjoy their jobs. the music is fun and happy as well. i just wanted to give a 5 start review and highlight the manager who is just great. read more

Coffee and food good but ordered a macchiato 3x and only once did they get it right. Please please train staff that a macchiato has only foam NO MILK! read more

Beautiful Starbucks location. Upbeat, courteous, very personable staff. The manager Abriel is a master in making meaningful human connection. Walking into this welcoming store just immediately brings a smile to your face. The parking lot attached to the store makes grabbing a beverage super easy. Thumbs up! read more

very bad customer service I ordered coffee latte and received tea latte when I tried to exchange they refused to give me the proper order.

Service is always slow. Expect to wait over 15 minutes for your drink, even with mobile ordering in advance. Espresso drinks are always burnt and taste awful. Staff is rude to customers and would rather chat amongst themselves than help customers or make orders. Do yourself a favor and avoid this Starbucks - there are other better ones in Stamford or Norwalk. read more

The baristas here have absolutely no sense of what is happening at their store at any time, every time i come in here there is some sort of issue with my order, from things missing (or sold out but they choose to not say anything and let me pay and receive nothing) to them just completely forgetting my order altogether. The one time i went in to the store to mobile order i was met with the nastiest attitude. As someone working in food service myself it is not that hard to communicate with ur customers instead of just thinking oh well not my problem. do better. read more

Starbucks - Trenta mango dragon fruit refresher - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Darien, Connecticut

I have tried going to this Starbucks multiple times but have finally given up. The last three times I have gone to this location they messed up my order of a Strawberry refresher with lemonade. When I ask them to make the drink correctly with lemonade, they give an attitude. I don't believe anyone is forcing these workers to work at Starbucks and I really don't believe the job is that hard. Do not go to this location. Horrible customer service and miserable workers. read more

2018 October - Here we go again! What is it with the Starbucks Corporation. Came to their Darien location for a cup of coffee and a Pound cake only to leave once I sat down. Inside the air vents were blowing COLD AIR. Today's Weather for Oct 20th in Darien reads 63 degrees outside - inside it must be 60 Degrees blowing cold air. Starbucks TURN UP THE HEAT, I am sure you can afford to pay the heating bill with the prices you charge for a cup of coffee - it is October. Calling Starbucks 800-782-7282 Customer Service To complain read more

By far the BEST one I have been to ! Can't be anymore happier with this one ! read more

This location is probably the worst store in the Starbucks system! So many people behind the counter and you still have to wait at least 20 minutes for an online order. Today, my daughter couldn't place her order online, so she had to go in to order. It's 20 minutes later and I'm still waiting in the car for her. This place sucks! I wish she'd just go to Dunkin Donuts! read more

Very good Starbucks. Always clean and fast. Staff is very amiable and efficient. Busy but its because its a good starbucks. In a very good location as well. read more

Most times I come in here the garbages are overflowing and the bathroom a complete mess. It does have ample seating and a couch in the corner if you need to get work done. read more

Great service from Irene! I am recovering from a broken ankle and did a mobile order. I have a boot and crutches I could have put on and crutched in. Instead I called when I was in the parking lot and had the pleasure of Irene answering after only 1 ring. I asked if she could bring my order out to my car. And she happily brought it out for me. Want to thank Irene for the best customer service I ever had at a Starbucks. read more

I love Starbucks but always leave this location frustrated and disappointed. I waited 30 minutes for food items that weren't even heated and the people are always incredibly rude. read more

One of the good spots for travelers. We just took a few minutes halt here from our way to Washington DC and ordered two frappuccino mocha and apple juice. The shopkeeper was a great lady and friendly. read more

Weekend very crowded so many customers rushing couldn't spend quiete time ,some customers yelled loudly each other ... read more

See all

This Starbucks was nice. The main guy at the cash register was VERY friendly, but because of this, the line became very long and was slow moving. If he was a little quicker it would have been a better process. Also, I tried to use my phone app and ended up going to the bathroom as my drink was being made...turns out the payment didn't go through so my husband had to pay from our credit card so the line wasn't held up. This can be frustrating to us and others. Side note, the main road was KILLER and was so difficult to get in and out of this parking lot. We stopped in on the way through the area to NJ...so I don't plan on being in the area again. read more

Outstanding Customer Service I had a small PTSO committee meeting at this location last night. The young man on duty was so incredibly polite and accommodating, I thought it warranted a great review. Not only was the drink made properly, he even instructed me on the proper method for creating my PSL. He provided water for the entire committee (only 4 of us) and came around to see if we needed any further assistance. I'm not sure what his name is, but if the owner of this establishment is reading this, please commend him on his outstanding customer service skills. read more

Filthy bathrooms with no toilet paper and people allowed to spend the day with laptops still no seats were available.

Cute little stop between NYC and New Haven for a quick drink and a bathroom break. (Haha.) I appreciated the large space, outdoor seating, friendly baristas, and clean restrooms. What else would two people traveling along I-95 need? (Well, besides less traffic and horrible drivers?) read more

I agree with Christine- the parking is horrific. It does have amazing fresh black iced tea, and the pastries are great, but it's really too bad there are always flies in there when I go. It makes me not want to come back. I have also never experienced such rude clientele in a Starbucks in all of my life. People cut you in line, complain to the person making their drink etc. For some reason, THIS crowded starbucks tops the snobbery list-especially during reg. business hours. I even had a guy move the coffee table 2 feet towards his chair, when my 2 year old was sitting on it politely eating his donut. He didn't even wait 2 seconds for him to climb off or realize that maybe we had the table first. The only reason my son was sitting on the table in the first place is because there wasn't a chair for him. If you don't mind a great number of snobs in one location, then I say go for it. At least the workers are nice. read more

The only reason I go to this Starbucks is because it's convenient when I'm leaving work. Otherwise I can't stand all the idiot soccer stay at home moms who don't know how to drive their stupid range rovers and mercedes SUV's and INSIST on backing into parking spaces. There's never anywhere to sit and the lines are usually super long during the rush. I only like it here because they actually have food stocked unlike most of the Starbucks locations around. read more

This Starbucks may be slow, but it's one of the better Starbucks. Their drinks are usually well made, but there are times they don't listen to orders or the drink tastes subpar, which seems to be a standard thing amongst many Starbucks chains. This location is clean and generally well kept, and you can mostly expect a well made drink. read more

Starbucks - Interior of this starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Darien, Connecticut

The staff is very friendly and fast. They are open later than most SB's in the area which is nice. Make sure you bring a sweater, hoodie, or your snuggy, because it is always an ice box in there. The only thing they need to work on is attention to cleanliness. When looking at the chairs/walls/tables, etc, you can tell that management is not holding staff up to a higher standard. With a location this busy, it gets out of control fast, and they could benefit from having an outside service take care of it, or have the staff make more rounds on any down time. During peak times, the parking is ridiculous, so park across the street behind BSF. Yes, that means you will have to walk more than 50 feet and possibly be "pulled over" by Darien police for jay walking, if they are not already in hot pursuit of a 30 in a 25. read more

Not a huge coffee snob...just wanted a regular coffee and some breakfast food for my kids.....we are staying at a near by hotel. It took forever to get my food. We ordered chocolate chip Muffins and got blueberry. Then we ordered one breakfast sandwich and it was wrong, so they had to remake it. Next time we will just hit Dunkin Donuts and leave the fancy coffee place alone. read more

I normally visit the New Cannan Starbucks but I was in the Darien area today so I stopped by. This store is horrible! The garbages were overflowing, the bathrooms were disgusting, the person on bar was slow and rude. I order a white mocha with whip and when I asked him if there was whip on it he said yes but when I looked there wasn't so I asked him to put whip on it he completely ignored me and continued his conversation with the girl on register. Don't go here. I recommend taking the 10 minute drive to go to New Cannan or go to the Dunkin Donuts down the street. read more

One of the best Starbucks in Fairfield County! Contemporary look and a good amount of seating. The staff here is awesome and the coffee is better than most other Starbucks I've been too. This could partly be due to the Clover machine they have here (some super fancy way of brewing coffee). They have a lot of different reserve coffees available as well as wireless charging for your mobile devices. Great spot! read more

We love the Starbucks they are so friendly and professional. Every time you walk and were greeted welcome back. They know our drinks by memory and always get it right. On the rare occasion that they do get it wrong they just take it make it again and give it to us and it's usually perfect. I love Starbucks I'm loyal to them I hate Dunkin' Donuts I think it's watery engrossed in their donuts are we still so don't bother going there. my favorite drink there is the zebra hot chocolate which is a mix of regular hot chocolate and white hot chocolate it's absolutely awesome. Though yesterday to try the Tiramisu Frapuccino and let me tell you it was awesome! read more

Your typical Connecticut Starbucks--very clean, classy decor and patient baristas who are accustomed to tricky orders. There was a pretty large line today as I tried to grab a hot chocolate before catching a train back to the city. However, they were super nice and speedy about preparing my drink after I explained the situation. read more

I left my cell phone at the creamer station at this Starbucks- and I just received it, many states away, via FedEx. My gratitude to Lauren Kostiw, manager of the store. THANK YOU! I am really in your debt. PS The coffee was great too. read more

I've come to this Starbucks a handful of time and while the service has never been great, it was horrible- until today. I was thrilled when I walked in and noticed no line. However, after placing my order I waited a considerable amount of time. I watched 6 mobile orders filled before me, and waited to say something until the person who ordered after me got their drink. When I asked if my drink was being made- I got confused and irritated looks as one said "sometimes you have to wait with mobile order". I explained I didn't mobile order and had been waiting a while. She asked around and no one could answer. 5 people behind the counter were laughing and really doing nothing until it was determined it was never started. No apology and to add to that- the person making my coffee got caramel all over the outside of my cup. Not impressed!! read more

Beautiful job with the re-model it looks fantastic! Parking is still a challenge but it's worth it. They aquired the new clover coffee machine and today I tried the brazilian peaberry... it was the freshest cup of coffee i'v ever had, Bravo starbucks in darien, keep up the great job. read more

I honestly feel bad for giving a Starbucks Coffee joint 2 stars because I LOVE their drinks, but I think I can justify my choice here reasonably. The parking here is horrific. The lot is just too small for such a popular place. I've seen people in cars drop off their passenger who runs in to get the coffee while the car is put in "park" and sits there, blocking a whole line of traffic because there's literally nowhere else for these cars to go. It's absolute mayhem and can give anyone, including myself, a mini panic attack. The store itself is also too small (I'm seeing a trend here...) so don't come in here expecting to get a table or comfy chair because chances are it's taken. Lines are painfully slow in the mornings so I try to go mid-day to avoid the rush. All in all, I love Starbucks, but I do not love their Darien location. read more

The staff is very friendly but far from fast, I ordered my coffee online and still had to wait over 10 minutes for my order. There were many people there complaining about the same problem. read more

Long lines, lots of noise,demolition derby parking lot.The coffee is good but getting a coffee there can be a hassle.

This is my favorite Starbucks in the world. And I do mean world, because I have been to more than 100 Starbucks in various countries while hunting for free WiFi. The counter staff has always been extremely friendly, even though I'm the obnoxious person who goes back and asks for ten thousand refills on my coffee. The tables are large and comfortable for studying (or procrastinating) with groups of friends. Ample seating, a comfy couch in one corner, plenty of outlets, and outdoor seating in the summers are also huge perks. Quieter than the Starbucks on Greenwich Ave and more seating than New Canaan. Go to spot when I'm working in Darien. Parking can be a bit tricky, but since I commute via train from Greenwich, I appreciate the location. read more
