If you're in a hurry DO NOT GO INSIDE. Myself and 3 other customers stood and waited for 24 mins, but the mobile orders and drive thru orders were moving out quickly. Mobile pickup was quoted at 7-10 mins, I thought incorrectly when I thought they would serve customers who were right in front of them first. read more

Slowest Starbucks I have ever been too. The hospitality was great but took over 20 mins to get 2 grande simple coffees

This is my go-to Starbucks. I really appreciate that they are open at 5:30 have a good lobby seating options. Service is good and Environment is okay (I have been better). My only complaint is that the inside has been closed at random times because of understaffing and I was asked to leave, even though I already had my drink. Food is good (normal Starbucks food). read more

Starbucks - Entrance on a foggy morning - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

We put in a mobile order and they not only got our drink wrong they were going to let us leave without our food. Then as we handed the drink back through the window for them to fix it they still got it wrong. read more

I love Starbucks and I am glad this location existed to stop at during a road trip but do wish it was functioning a little better. First, the drive-thru was closed on a Sunday morning. I went here specifically because the app told me they had a drive-thru available. No idea why it was closed. Staff shortage? Technical problem? Who knows, but not a big deal. Then they were out of oat milk. This one confounded me, because I don't think there is a oat milk shortage, and it was Sunday morning. I'd imagine oat milk is the most popular non-dairy milk they sell (and I wish they wouldn't upcharge for it), so I'd have thought they would have it well stocked. Next they were out of bananas. Again, another product I don't think is difficult to procure and stock. But they got my order right and were efficient with the pick-up option in store. If they had the products they typically sell and the drive-thru they typically operate available, I would have said 5 stars - maybe I'll try again next time and catch them on a better day. read more

Needs to shutdown, hire and someone needs to come train staff. Worst location I've ever been to, I've lived in two countries, traveled to over 30 countries and 35+ states. Every decision to give it a try and stop is a worst experience than the last, for the past three years, two to three times a year. Also, the first time I've ever asked for a refund. Inefficient, slow, and clearly overwhelmed. read more

Recently was at this store twice. The 1st visit the cashier was pleasant enough, but definitely a longer than usual wait for our drinks. The 2nd visit they had not got my order right so I kindly asked them for what I had ordered. Whether they did it on purpose or accident I do not know, but I do know they seemed to be bothered that I wanted the drink I paid for and when they did redo my order it was about five times sweeter than it should be. So I'm not sure if they just sabotaged it on purpose or it was another mistake, but how they engaged with me at the counter with indifference makes me wonder. read more

Was just at Starbucks in Darlington SC on Palmetto Street. Their caffe Verona coffee is terrible. Weak and horrible tasting. They definitely cut back! I go to Starbucks across the country and have never had this problem!!! read more

I hate to order a latte with no foam and open the cup to find it's 30percent foam! This is probably why Starbucks gets such poor reviews. Try one of the local places instead. read more

Not happy. Went through drive through after the gym got a drink and a protien box. Wanted the fruit and cheese but the didn't have it so she offered me the chicken wrap protein box. I said okay. Get my drink the box and go home. Start eating the chicken wrap it's soggy through and through. I dissected apart just for the chicken. Then I realize the cucumbers and apples are gross. Come find out I bought expensive and expired food. I of course paid in cash, have no receipt and went through the drive through. Bought on 1/16 expired on 1/14 and made on 1/12 read more

Extremely rude individual works here, she is so nasty and disrespectful to customers will not be going back, gave me the wrong order and somehow it was my fault. read more

Wish I could give no stars. Every time we do a mobile order and choose lobby pickup the lobby seems to be closed in some way. And then we have to wait in the drive thru. What's the point in having mobile ordering if you have to wait in line anyway. They should have mobile orders turned off if the lobby isn't open. The manager Haley pleasant isn't very pleasant. While trying to ask about my order she just kept cutting me off and not letting me speak. I watched while they gave another car their mobile order but 3 other cars and I had to wait for the drive thru which was back all the way up to the main road. Going to stop using this Starbucks entirely. read more

Always have my app order ready when I get there in just a few minutes! They make it faster than I could at home - they keep me so spoiled! And they don't just have good coffee, they have awesome food too! But you have to be willing to run inside for both of these or you will end up in a regular wait in the drive thru... read more

This is not a typical standard and has way below standard service. I am writing this review to tell how awful my Starbucks experience was. This is what happened; I went to Starbucks and asked for a Carmel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino. waited five minutes, but then I had to go somewhere, so I called the guy( Tristan) The guy was busy talking to the other workers. I had to press the horn for him to see me, and even when I did he interrupted me and said, "Your frappuccino is coming". I said, "Oh um... Sir, I was going to say, can I please go really quickly for two minutes and have you prepare the drink for me until I get back?" Well, he just looked at his workers and said, "Yeah, sure I can do that"So then I went to go run a quick errand, and it only took like, three minutes, and when I came back to pick up the Frappuccino, he said, "Oh I didn't prepare it yet. I thought you might come back late, and I didn't want it to melt. Then he completely ignored me!!! Another coworker tried to help me and asked me if she should prepare MY FRAPUCCINO. when I came back there to pick up the Frappuccino ( again) , it was warm and it had coffee ( I had ordered it without the coffee ) I didn't like this at all. I don't think you should go there if your expecting a nice drink, or good service. Never seen anyone with customer service with Tristan 's communication . Shame on this level! read more

I wouldn't give them 1 star if it wasn't a must to post a comment. This place shouldn't be open for business. For well over a month, maybe longer, they've been out of iced coffee, lattes, and all flavorings! They haven't had raspberry flavoring in over a year! That may not be a big deal, but how can you be out of coffee for months? read more

A very long line at the drive through and so you're going to be much better going inside for your caffeine boost instead of waiting out there. Inside, it was a bit loud, but they have enough tables and power for folks to sit for a bit. Coffee was decent, the service was quick and the breakfast sandwich was super hot. read more

Starbucks - Starbucks in Florence - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

Every time I come to Starbucks they never have products. They are out of refresher base, they have no Matcha green tea, and me and my family thinks that Starbucks just stop caring!!! read more

I am here for 3 weeks in Florence got my children into a tennis camp and I keep coming to ask them for hot water cold water for infants formula and coffee. I have never experienced such great stuff. Always say hello always with a positive attitude. I have been to many coffee shops but the warmth and friendliness of these guys is beyond my expectations. Its not a place where you just purchase coffee it's A place where you set your day with positive mindset. Thank you. It was always a pleasure to come back. read more

Good place to have coffee. The place is always busy. The time you spend waiting is usually not too long. The staff are pretty helpful and polite. read more

Decent Starbucks, staffed well with quick service. Has a drive thru that is always busy. They have an outdoor sitting area. The interior is a little small, but I never stay. Average Starbucks which will fullfill your coffee needs. read more

Pretty decent Starbucks. Service was good although a little slow. There is a drive-thru option as well. They have a good amount of indoor and outside seating. read more

I never go to this location because I have never had a good experience but I was in that area and I figured I would give it one more chance. My mistake, I placed my order, drove up to the window and the guy was going to hand me something other than my order, which was just a venti frappuccino. After I said that's not mine and told him what I ordered he apparently never rang it up, how do you forget, you asked me what I wanted, he had to ring it up and then make it, I had to then wait for it to be made, probably pissed off everyone in line behind me. Never again!! read more

Please don't turn the mobile order on if your closed or inside the store but have the doors locked.

This place just made me smile. As a former partner, I can say this is one of the most smoothly operated Starbucks I've been to. They have waters out for everyone, the store is clean, and no yelling in the back. Just a smooth system and everyone has their job. Also all women of color when I was there! Love it read more

Dirty store. And our cashier, Rachel, was extremely rude. Actually rolled her eyes at us!

Former Starbucks barista here. The slow service of this location would never fly in any other city. I don't get it. Although my orders have been correct, we have waited in the drive thru way way too long each time. I'm just not impressed. And then I saw a nice full tip jar too. What in the world are people tipping for? read more

Whenever I am in Florence I am stopping at the SB here because it is right there by every thing! Who would not stop here really, because of what they have and where they are. I like the fact that they have tons of seating and while they don't have enough soft seating for my like, I still think it works. Good inside layout, but the parking lot can be a zoo sometime because honestly, people don't pay attention to the parking lot markings. To be honest, they are starting to wear out, might be time to get them repainted SB management. Can still highly recommend it because of the great service both inside and out! read more

For at least the past 2 weeks they have not been able to make frappuccinos. I feel like that is very unprofessional and irresponsible of them being that their frappes are one of the things that they are most famous for. read more

For them not to be open indoors, yet still not be able to have fast service in the carline is pathetic. It takes at least 5 minutes per car and they are always out of items and often give us the wrong order. They used to have very friendly staff, but many of the workers now have negative attitudes. It looks as if there is only one worker for the entire building. They constantly make you wait to place your order, and I have been to many other starbucks outside of this area and they have all had a much better service. It takes them 10 minutes to make two drinks while most other places it would take less than 2. I dont know what happened, but they are using the pandemic as an excuse for poor service. I am very disappointed and we deserve better for what we are paying. read more

I spent hours at this Starbucks location every day for 3 years. I used it as study-hall while in grad school, and watched the quality of service drop. This location consistently failed to get my order right. The service got slower and slower, and the floors, tables and customer prep station went hours without being cleaned. They were understaffed during rush hour making the wait for service very long. I've had decent Starbucks at other stores, but not in Florence SC. read more

Beat customer service I've ever had at a Starbucks. Everyone was soo nice we got our order very fast and the drinks were perfectly done!

Finally!! Great place to meet friends and chill over a select brew or a soothing blend of tea. It is an experience a wonderful experience at that. read more

The drive through is so incredibly and consistently slow. I moved here from VA and am a frequent customer of Starbucks drive throughs, this is by far the slowest I've come across. read more

The wife and I stopped by this Starbucks for refueling after stopping at the Harris Teeter across the street to take a few things home with us to Virginia that we can't find here. Like most every other Starbucks, it gets the "A-OK" rating for providing a latte that is consistently drinkable, but slightly bitter due to Starbucks signature overroasted beans. Drive-through operated flawlessly and service was the typical swift and professional standard one comes to expect from Starbucks. read more

Super slow! Waited 15 mins for my drink and it wasnt even all that great! Its way off of 95 too so that was a hassle! Ughh

Passing through this town on a road trip and stop in for a quick coffee. I had to tell the cashier taking my order what I wanted 3 times because he was distracted talking to other employees. When my drink was ready, it was not what I ordered and asked if they could remake it for me. They made it seem like it was my fault that they made it incorrectly and were visibly annoyed that they had to remake it. Very dissatisfied with the customer service at this location. read more

Way off the beaten path (Major Highways), but worth the drive. As usual, great Starbucks coffee and treats, with a Drive-thru.

We went through the drive thru and the lady taking our order kept interrupting us so of course got my order incorrect I found out 10 minutes driving down the road. I called to talk to the manager he said sorry and that's it next time send your customer a $5 gift card for your error. read more

I basically live at Starbucks. I've been to locations all over the U.S. and this location is slower than any location I've ever been too and consistently messing up my drinks. I mean, Good lord, how hard is it to make a tea with milk? And God forbid you ask them to remake it. They'll do it the same bad way and then get mad at you for asking in the first place. Having said that, I have had positive experiences and some of the staff that I know from other locations have moved there and are really sweet. But the consistency of quality service just doesn't exist here. read more
