Given it's pretty packed, they serve your drinks in a timely manner. Love that :) Recommend the Via instant christmas blend, nice and dark. read more

I love Starbucks. I frequent this one a lot, especially since it's near my favorite Lanikai. This Starbucks does exceptionally well with their customer service compared to others. They're pretty efficient too. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating too. read more

I've been coming to this starbucks since it opened and I am so glad they built one so close to our school!! Like any other starbucks, they will be extremely busy during the morning hours with lines extending to the door. Due to its location, there will often be a mix of business people, college students, med school students, hipsters, and the occasional odd person with a parrot on his shoulder.. Nevertheless this starbucks is always bustling which may make it difficult to find a table or a little too loud to efficiently study. My main complaint would have to be the parking situation.. Which is more so the fault of the designer of the 680 Complex.. There is a one-way entrance on opposite sides of the block that meet in the middle and make you exit behind the building. It's extremely difficult if you have to go all the way around if you miss a parking stall, but it's even worse when people don't know or forget that it is a one-way lot!! Also forgot to mention that parking is ONLY ONE HOUR. Which sucks for people who need to study the entire day... Plus, regardless of the time limit, it's so hard to find parking because all the stalls are FULL. Don't bother trying to find street parking on Coral because those fill up quickly too. read more

Starbucks - Mothers Day card :) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Love this location even more now with the new parking structure in the back! The baristas are usually nice and friendly. I like the ample seating inside and outside. Drinks are pretty consistent here. Some of my best chai's (no water chai!) have been from this one. It can get busy at times so I like doing mobile order when I'm in a hurry. Today when I went in, the girl wrote that on my cup and the guy made a pretty design on my foam - thanks for making my day even better :) read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Enjoy the free WiFi and restroom. Here's the code 05194 Oh, by way! The facility is pretty clean and staff are almost always friendly. I'm here on a Monday but beware they do a Pokémon meet up at 6pm. If that's not your thing... RUN! read more

They always mess up my order, I never have the customed ones and I go with whatever they have on their menu. They have always missed something in the drink or forgot a pastry that I purchase with it. There was also a time when I was waiting over an hour for a drink and they told me to buy it again, I still got charged for the one I was originally waiting for before, but I finally got what I wanted. Definitely have seen better Starbucks locations. read more

Nice outdoor seating with a view of the street traffic. Surprising how few Starbucks in Downtown area... and this is new trendy area so they are so smart to be ahead of the curve.. huge line in morning could use a coffee only line.... is that great idea or what. No recycling.. Starbucks global should take note of how they do it in Japan.. patrons separating liquids, plastic, food and cups at the door. They also need to improve cream and post prep area... always messy, out of milk ... you would think they would have that improved by now with automatic dispensers and again some kind of recycling so much wasted paper products.. but they don't care what people think. read more

This Starbucks always have sitting room. The people are nice and polite as well. There's a lot of parking and places to eat within walking distance of you aren't feeling the Starbucks food. This a great place to do homework or hangout with. The only bad part about this Starbucks that it close to the docks so the surrounding areas smell bad, so I wouldn't want to sit outside. This isn't the closest Starbucks to me but I would rather go here than the one on Manoa. They also have free wifi which is great and it's pretty fast. Fast enough to stream Netflix if you want to procrastinate from doing homework! But overall this is one of the nicest Starbucks, with lots of seating and outlets. The baristas are nice people who are welcoming. read more

Starbucks - Grande ice chai latte with soy milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I went in expecting usual Starbucks busy scene as it was, but the staff was really on it from saying hi good morning to even wishing happy holidays which made me feel good and decided to let you know after looking them up on Yelp that this Star Bucks went above and beyond. Mahalo. I'll be back tomorrow. read more

Went inside to pick up my mobile order. I was the only customer in the store, and the only order ready. I arrived to the barista and she told me to wait, I stood there staring at my drink for a minute while she takes her time to finish her the drink she just started making. To top it off, I said thank you when drink was passed to me, and no response. White lady, not professional and rude in Starbucks standards. read more

Don't waste your time or spend your money here until they return to proper customer services & support such as opening indoor dining and restrooms! read more

Agree with other reviewers about this location: it used to be really good. However, maybe it's when I am coming here but the last two times (both Sunday mornings around 6:30 - 7:00) the staff are zombie like, indifferent, not unfriendly, just wholly indifferent to your presence in their store. It's like they think that the Sunday morning shift is for cleaning and stocking and not for service. I don' t know it's probably the Sunday morning shift but drinks come slow also. Not a great location.' Good thing there are a million others. read more

The short and fat girl with blone hair wearing glasses who call herself manager was really rude and unprofessional. I came here to order my drinks as I almost drink here everyday, and she change the price of my drink and add on it more money when I pay at the cashier and said that her policy. Well, I drink here every single day so I know how much my drink worth and every others staff were really nice ti me, except only her with grumpy face and bad attitude. When i told her please do it faster a bit cause I have to go as well as parking very busy, so seem like don't want to make order and ask me 5 times to cancel it. It's unacceptable for Starbuck customers services, especially I'm a loyalty customer and have golm membership. She really need to rethinking about her attitude and educated herself by conducting a new training courses. She made me feel really dissatisfied and disappointed so I never want to come back to this place anymore. I would give 5 stars for all staff included the wavy hairs guys and Michael cause they are really hard working and passionate and carefully about making drink and satisfied customers, and I would give 0 star for her if Yelp had that, it's just her attitude was really bad and try to be bossy instead of serving customers and make them feel happy . read more

1st time at this Starbucks, glad I came! Excellent location for a biz mtg, service was quick and friendly. Shout out to Kaito, who's service reminded me of the good old fashioned style with a smile and great attitude. read more

#1 The morning manager- Stephanie - is sassy along with another barista -Marisa. I can't stand BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. Asked them what the nutritional value of a Flat White was and she said "I don't know, go look it up on the APP." "Ok, do you know how many grams of sugar is in it?" "No. But no-fat milk has no sugar (this is NOT true)." "Ok do you have almond milk?" And in her sassy voice she replies, "All milk has sugar. If you want no sugar, get an Americano." That's not what I was asking! That was a wasted trip w my gift card. I always support the local coffee shops and this has reminded me on why I do so. read more

Just ordered something simple this morning. Noticed that the gentleman in front of me got 10x the customer service than my fiance and I received from the cashier girl on register 2. She rolled her eyes towards us. We noticed a dramatic change in tone when speaking with us. Terrible, fake service provided by this young woman. Hope this reaches the higher ups! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

If I could give "0" rating I would. I used to come to this location a few years back and workers were friendly and pleasant. Now, a totally different vibe. The workers now, as in this instant, are rude and unpleasant. I don't know who the manager is but if you read this please make sure to teach your workers Sophia and Dwight the proper way to treat customers. And please train them to work faster. read more

FIrst things first! Bathroom code: 17849 That's really the most important thing you need to know about this Starbucks! My boyfriend asked me if I wanted to go on a co-working date with him and this is where we ended up because I had meetings in the area. When you are always on the go business people with kids, co-working is indeed a date with your spouse and loaded with productivity. What more could a girl ask for? This is a very busy store but not so busy that you can't find a seat. They've got lots of tables, counter seating and my personal favorite, the community table for those of us who don't get enough attention socially or are consummate shut ins working on exploring the outside world in a safe environment. We chose the community table because we wanted room to spread out all our stuff and I like sitting next to awkard people who won't look you in the eyes. I spent my morning trying to connect to the terrible wi-fi, only to then plug in my computer to my own Verizon wireless card. While working on my laptop I people watched and let me tell you, this is almost as good as reality TV! The pleasant yet bored barista who longs for a life outside of Starbucks but clings to the day to day turn key stability of the corporate wheel. The metro man with washed out jeans and sunglasses on his head who walked in with his girlfriend yet kept staring at my boyfriend. I could really go on and on and on with all the fantastic things I've been able to witness here in such a short amount of time! The one big downside of working outside of home though is the energy drain complaining that you're privy to when people are meeting around you. Let's put that energy in solutions and not negativity folks! ; ) Not sure if I'll be back here to co-work on a regular basis, because let's face it, I'm much more productive at home in my sweat pants. But on those days when I need to break up the monotany of working from home, this is a pleasant respite from my normal. read more

Venti. Iced. Double Dirty. Non fat. Chai Latte. That's my "I REALLY need a coffee break" coffee order. Venti. Iced Coffee. No Sugar. No Cream. That's my "I had too much to drink last night & woke up too early" coffee order. Venti. Iced. Passion Tea. Sweetened. No Water. That's my "I don't want coffee but it's so hot and I'm dying and need a drink" non-coffee order. Hot. Grande. Non fat. Skinny vanilla latte. That's my "I'm here to do work" coffee order. ...in short I probably drink too much coffee and spend too much money & time at Starbucks. But do you wanna go to Starbucks? :-D read more

Sometimes- you just have to give in and get something that will hit the caffeine spot that needs to be itched. Who doesn't feel like a grande Carmel Machiato is a better choice than a $2.50 coke from a vending machine- especially when someone else is buying? I do not go to Starbucks daily- but I too need a caffeine fix usually to be a happy American. I like this location as a good location that is not as busy as others but is still convenient to me. There are other starbucks that may have nicer furniture to sit on but the seats are just fine here. The prepared food is good too- I like the egg sandwiches. I do not go for the prepackaged wrapped stuff though. Service is good and fast while still being friendly. read more

Ohh my glob! There's a new Starbucks in town and I'm the first Yelper here? I must be dreaming! Regardless, it's at the new Six-Eighty Ala Moana Boulevard building. I was with Thomas O. and we were driving down the road and then we saw this open. We just had to check it out. The place is brand new and immaculate! I always saying I wanted to live in this new building, now here's another reason. JUST IMAGINE LIVING ABOVE A STARBUCKS! I'm kind of a purist when it comes to coffee, I had a black iced coffee. It was standard Starbucks quality. Sorry if you are looking for a Frappuccino review, milkshakes don't bring this boy to the yard! Better check it! read more

There are good things about this Starbucks: location, parking, coffee. Unfortunately, this is a 1-star review because OMG. 10:55am Saturday 07/05/14 I popped in for a couple of drinks. Yay, no line. Stood, waiting. Stood, waiting. Kinda danced around hoping someone would notice a customer hoping to be noticed. Could not get a single employee--three employees within 5 feet of me, mind you--to make eye contact. Not even the barista who was facing my general direction, making drinks 2-1/2 feet from me. Danced around some more. Finally poked my head over the counter and leaned in to ask Britney, who had her back to the customers in line while she was talking to Malia, if I should (hint, hint) stand at *this* register or *that* register. She said I should stand at *that* register. Thankfully, David happened to pop out of the back room about then and he was a friendly face who actually--omg, what?!--took my order. About then, Britney finished her chat with Malia so she graced me with her presence to come take my money. Conclusion: Yikes. My business is going to Lanikai Juice next door for a healthy drink, and Starbucks WARD for my coffee. read more

Usually great, very convenient as it is right across the street from my house. Got the match green tea latte with no ice and when I got home noticed that 1/3 of it was gone, realized it must have been all foam as it looked good when I picked it up. First time this happened will make sure to give it a few shakes before walking home next time. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is my go to Starbucks when I work in Honolulu. Since Starbucks introduced the "Order" feature on their app, it's made my experience much better. I usually place my order when I find a parking slot, and I rarely NOT have my order ready. My beverage and breakfast sandwich are hot and ready. It's not very busy when I go, around 6:30am, but I have come closer to 7am and it is much busier. Get the Starbucks app, pre-order and no waiting. read more

Starbucks is world wide, we know. It's synonymous with great coffee and there are legions of followers who swear by their coffee each morning to get from point A to everywhere else in between to get to point B, and then some. You have a fan in me, Starbucks. I used to be hooked on your coffee to get me through the tough workdays, but since 2012 December, I have came to the realization that I don't need caffeine to get myself through the day. Going on 3 1/2 years strong now and have no plans on changing. I do come to Starbucks to grab a tea lemonade and partake in your baked goods from time to time, but that's about it. You do have great house music playing each time I come through any Starbucks locations visit. Plus, free wifi and an outlet to charge my phone (when it's not busy packed and one is available). I've come to Starbucks many times here in Hawaii and in many locations across the USA and twice in Paris, FR and Amsterdam NLD. To my surprise that there is a new location that propped itself up at the corner of Coral Street and Ala Moana Blvd in the heart of Honolulu / Kaka'ako district, it just was simply too good to pass up. I was here recently due to the 2016 Pokemon Go craze and it just happens that Coral Street is prime location real estate for good sightings of Pokemon. Ye overall experience here at Starbucks is as good as it can get. Free wifi and a place to sit, relax, do homework, or just read the newspaper. Many people come here to do anything and I'm glad that they don't kick you out for loitering and not buying anything. :) As with all Starbucks, the traditional set up remains identical. The green lady local and "Starbucks Coffee" out in front has been there with popular culture for a while - at least since 2004, when I graduated college. It's the traditional coffee house with all the modern conveniences. They have good and friendly service here and you can always hear their blender going off about every 10 minutes or so, which means that someone had ordered a frappuchino of some size. This particular location of Starbucks was a new location I had visited, being that I didn't know one was around here till I noticed someone holding a Starbucks frappuchino while catching Pokemon on Coral Street on one recent August afternoon. I realized that it had to be somewhere close and that's where I found out. It just may be my newest hangout pau Hana place / Pokemon hang out for the foreseeable future. This Starbucks location is located at 680 Ala Moana Blvd in the heart of Kaka'ako. Nearby is Kaka'ako waterfront park and the university of Hawaii: John A Burns School of Medicine, among many retail establishments. They accept major credit cards, so that's always a good thing. If you are like me, TheBus routes 19, 20, 42, 55, and 56, among others will make a stop across the street from Starbucks on Coral / Ala Moana Boulevard. Just walk across the street and you'll be there in no time at all. Starbucks always has been the go to place alternative than that of your local library. It's a place that the vibe is better and the music is good. The place is clean and the baristas seem to be extra friendly. There's always a place for you here, whether you're buying something to drink or eat, or just hanging out from the heat or cold. Luckily in Hawaii, we have only heat, although some people here will complain when it's 55 degrees F and rainy in December. Lol My favorites at Starbucks usually are the tea lemonades, getting the green tea one or the black tea one. They're usually good and priced about $4 for the trenta version. I rarely get the frappuchinos now, since they're sugar and fat laden and I am on a weight loss binge. I used to get the chocolaty chip frappuchino or the strawberry and creme frappuchino and they were pretty good, although it can be pricey at nearly $6 for a venti. Still, Starbucks can be pricey if you come here a lot or at least frequent enough to where you can empty a significant portion of your paycheck here. The space is large enough to accommodate many people here at this location in kaka'ako. Can't beat free wifi and the air condition is quite freeing too. The baked goods that they serve here can be pricey too, much like food at the airport, you get what you pay for - and then some. While they do taste fairly good, these baked goods, specifically the cheese Danish and the brownie are what my favorites are whenever I come to Starbucks. I usually order them with my tea lemonade and I'm good to go. 4.5 stars for being awesome! Just wish that prices would be a little price sensitive for many of us who love Starbucks but are on a budget. Recommended for your coffee and caffeine needs. Support local! B+ read more

This was an extremely convenient location for me on my way into Waikiki. Then someone decided the parking lot needed paid parking. Now you wait in line to get into the parking lot and you wait in line to get out of the parking lot. On 2 separate occasions the parking machines didn't work and then to get out of the lot you would need to go find a security guard to help. This location is no longer convenient. read more

Probably one of the nicest Starbucks I have ever gone to! I was greeted by a couple baristas right when I walked in the door and very genuinely as well. You know sometimes when you walk in and you get that generic greeting; well it wasn't like that at all! This Starbucks has such a cool vibe to it! I feel like I'm transported some where in California when I come here! There's an endless amount of seating in here and also everything is kept very clean. My drink of choice that day was a triple iced espresso in a grande cup. Good for those days when you want that extra kick and plus it was so hot that day that I needed something light and cold to cool me down. If I lived closer I would definitely be hanging out here more. read more

I love this Sbux! Drinks are standard (happy hour half off frapps after 3pm until May 10th, 2014!), but I love the atmosphere. It's huge, with tons of bar seating along the windows, a communal table for business meetings or making new friends, high top tables (4 tables for 3-4 people), square tables (2 tables that seat 4), comfy armchairs (4 that seat 1 or if you're the snuggling lap sitting kind 2), about 4-5 tables outside, and TONNNNNS of outlets! All along the walls for bar seating, along the floor for the communal table. AND they have a clean bathroom! (just ask for the code) I love that this is in the heart of My Kaka'ako, with amazing street art to inspire you, and my personal favorite, One Love Ministries (great church!!) is right across the street. I've seen it crowded and busy, but never to the point where it's overwhelming with ridiculous lines and no seats available. Great alternative to Ward Sbux, which is usually packed to the walls. There's tons of free 1 hour parking in a private lot, and tons of 2 hour meters along the street (free after 6 and on Sundays). Highway Inn, Hank's Haute Dogs, Cocina are all on the same block so there's tons of food to refuel if you're burning the midnight oil (though I think this one closes around 8 or 9...). Great place to study. (And of course free wifi) I like. read more

First of all - I LOVE the atmosphere in this location! It is very modern/mainland. It is definitely somewhere I would want to hang out and catch up with friends. The free parking is awesome too. I have been to this location twice, and both times was disappointed by the slow pace at which the baristas worked. As a former barista, I know the morning - when people are on their way to work - is when people expect to be in and out quickly. This morning I walked in at 7:27 and didn't walk out until 7:45! There were maybe 10 people in front of me, and I had ordered plain iced coffee and unsweetened iced tea. It's always nice to be friendly with your customers but to talk to them, and other employees, so much that it slows down the service at a busy time is no bueno. This location is super convenient for my commute, and the drinks are always delicious, but the slow pace makes me weary of stopping on my way in to work again. read more

I like this location. It's busy but never too busy that I can't find seats. Their shelves are always stocked and there's always someone sweeping the floor when they don't have a long line of customers. The team that works there is a pretty good group. They always seem to be in a good mood, and are very helpful to the tourists or newbies that never before have set foot inside a Starbucks read more

I absolutely love this Starbucks location. The baristas here are marvelous and extremely friendly. It can get kind of busy during the day but their friendly service sure does make up for it! I love coming here to study because the atmosphere is so mellow and relaxing, making it easier to concentrate. The only reason why I'm giving this Starbucks four stars is because of the limited number of parking stalls. It can get pretty busy during the day time and the construction in the Kaka'ako area as well as pretty tiny parking lot doesn't help at all. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this location to those checking out the developing Kaka'ako area and are in need of a quick coffee stop. read more

A very good and a awesome place to go to have coffee and just eat or study. When I enter a Starbucks Coffee and order, I like to order via the app because it's so much more easier as well as not have to go hunting for my debit card as much. So I am glad to be a member of the Starbucks Coffee rewards program because every morning I go to Starbucks, they know what I like to order so that I can reap in the rewards. When you hit 12 gold stars, you get a free reward and make sure that you use it before it is expires so that you can get more for your buck! It's a great program to invest in and with the app on your mobile device, it's just simple all you need to do is download the app on Google play store and call the customer service center for Starbucks and they will register the card for you and you are good to go! Enjoy read more

One of the newer Starbucks in the town area. This is a great location for the nearby offices but parking is very limited as they only have a small lot which is shared by other businesses. There was ample seating space inside and a bar area with stools which was cool watching and talking with the friendly barista. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I actually really like this Starbucks location because it's not too busy and if it is then the line kinda moves down pretty fast. I am not going to talk what they have at Starbucks because I am already going to assume you already know what's at Starbucks. That also goes for the prices. The staff and customer service is great. I came here several times in all three points of the day and everyone all seems on point. This is also a good place to kinda study and stuff if you need to. It's not a big Starbucks but they do have a decent amount of table and seating areas inside and outside of the store. Sometimes I like coming here more preferable than the busy Ward locations Location and Parking It's conveniently located in between Keawe St. and Coral St. on Ala Moana Blvd. If you are gonna drive then you just have to be aware that it is one hour parking slots. If you are on Ala Moana Blvd. heading towards Ala Moana side, you are going to make the left turn into Coral St. You cannot really miss it since it is also right next to the Illest store, Lankila Juice, Highway Inn, etc. read more

Starbucks - Caramel Brulee and Caramel Frapp Delicious! Made by very nice and helpful employee Lisa in Backround - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Of course I'm a fan! Starbucks I love! So I was kind of bummed that they opened this Starbucks location after my department relocated to Manoa. I could imagine walking across the street to get a cup of coffee. But then I would be broke because I would go to Starbucks at least twice a day, five days a week...hmmm. But enough of my sad story. This location is perfect. It's on the main street of Ala Moana Blvd. and in the artistic urban area of Kakaako. The nearest Starbucks after this location is in Ward centers and it's always busy there so this was a great idea to open one up in the Kakaako area. The environment is more like lofty feel with lots of seating inside and out, ample free parking, and the Batistas are friendly. read more

I've been here couple of times. And every time I come here, I noticed the most friendliest outgoing Starbucks employees. Not only do they greet you (like every other Starbucks out there), but they make you feel comfortable. One of the employees here always jokes around and I like that! Puts a smile on every customer that walks in. What I like about this location is that there are a lot of seats. As a student going to Starbucks to study, finding a seat or a table may be a challenge. But I manage to get a seat. The downside to this location is that their wifi is sometimes slow. But other than that, pretty awesome place to do some work. read more

I don't usually review national chains because I think it's more important to help out local businesses but when I do, you can bet your Dos Equis that it made an impression. This is quite possibly my favorite Starbucks. I know, I know...that is an enormous statement to make, especially when Starbucks has a billion and one locations to choose from. I'm guessing that because it's so new, people really haven't discovered it so it's not usually packed like Ward. When you first turn into the parking lot, it looks crowded but don't be deceived...if you drive down a little bit further in front of Starbucks, there are plenty of stalls. The crowd is an interesting mishmash of people, ranging from little old ladies to muscle guys wearing BJ Penn Gym shirts to business people conducting meetings. I think my most favorite thing about this location is the decor, it seems more cafe-like than the standard Hawai'i Starbucks. There's a lot of in-ground plugs so it'll make a fantastic place to study, once the WiFi is up and running. Service is on and off. The first time I came, the cashier was really friendly and the barista was quick with my drink. The second time, the barista started making my drink and then abandoned it on the side to make other drinks. I had to ask if it was still coming and when I finally got it, it was wrong. Oopsies. I'm gonna chalk that up to growing pains and hope that was a one time deal because I really, really like this location! read more

Gotta say, I am in love with this Starbucks location. I am here several times a week though I always forget to check in because the Yelp Android app isn't as functional as the Apple one. le sigh... Regardless, this location is often busy but for good reason- the staff here is amazing. Every single one of them is personable, polite and so helpful. Roxy is my favorite but I think they're all great. Have yet to have burnt tasting coffee at this Starbucks location. Best Starbucks on the Island (In my humble opinion) read more
