What you really need to know, is that this isn't a stand alone Starbucks. It's just a spot for you to order and pick up your drink. Which is totally fine. I just wasn't aware of this the first time I ordered from here. If you're expecting to sit down and break out your laptop this isn't your place. This is grab and go caffeine aimed at the hospital crowd. That being said, they got my drink right and it tasted great. So, no complaints. Just be mindful that you won't be sitting down and hanging out. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm the lame in Starbucks who timidly, at low volume speech ask for tea, a chai, but most importantly a hot chocolate, mocha lined cup, one extra pump mocha, 1 pump caramel and vanilla both. No whip and no sprinkles. Then I lean in and whisper : 2% milk please. I'm the lame that is so sensitive to caffeine that one swig of a, "OMG, that looks so good!" and now im crawled at the end of the couch wrenching with an impending migraine. So, that's that. Upon a rush there upbeat attitudes, smiles, and patience. I mean, at the end of the day...... we're all staying here as time passes us by to recieve the delight we ordered. So they know we're not going anywhere! Its a clean, clean, clean establishment and for that they have earned 5 stars. read more

As long as you know going in that this is an incredibly busy location and you order ahead, then you'll have a great experience. I've ordered from here probably 100 times and though I can imagine ordering from the app when you're there in person can be incredibly frustrating, i've never had a problem with this method. The coffee tastes great, and just so you're aware there is no seating as they used that space for additional workspace the staff can used to fulfill more orders. read more

Great service. Use the app to order. It is just a pickup location. Ordering in person is a pain and they are typically busy and will make you wait awhile. If you order a tea latte double check which type they use. I have gotten a couple wrong ones. But overall decent quality and speed. Quick walk over from memorial hermann. There is no seating inside. But like I said it's a pickup spot. read more

I love that this Starbucks is so convenient for me to get breakfast before work. Just order on their mobile app, and the food and drinks are ready pretty quickly - unless it's peak time or a Friday. They have challenges on their mobile app to earn bonus stars for discounts on drink customizations or free drinks. They recently renovated this particular location to be a pick up location. They now only take orders via the mobile app. The staff here is super efficient with organizing and calling out mobile orders ready for pickup. I really appreciate that they put the green tops on the hot coffee drinks, since I have to walk a good distance back to work. However, because of the renovation, they no longer have Starbucks to go bags or drink holders out unless you ask them. So, that's a bummer. Overall, I really enjoy getting my flat white/other drinks and breakfast/lunch sandwiches here when I'm short on time and on the go. read more

Starbucks - Best in the world - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Nothing can substitute for good old cold refreshing water H20... I'm actually in the Medical Center and I wanted something cold to drink. I don't EVER want to take for granted the fact that some other countries don't have the free resources of water. So I'm very grateful for it resource that we sometimes take for granted. Until then let's be humble for something we have ready at our fingertips. read more

Starbucks - Just plain old water... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is walking distance from work and I just love that. You can order a online and pick up at store to avoid the long lines. This morning I got here early and there's was little to no line, which is nice. I did have a Starbucks card that I wants able to upload to my app and Alvin was a gentleman and helped me upload it. The only complaint is that the wait times are a bit long. My coffee and croissant did not come out at the same time, maybe a 5 min difference. This place is clean and fully stocked every time I go. Staff is nice however and it is close, so I will be returning. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Convenient little spot whether you work in the corner of the med center &/or attend Rice University; HOWEVER, it feels like a majority of the Med center uses this sole spot for their mobile orders. Service time takes roughly 10-15 minutes on average. Plan ahead! read more

I am not a Starbucks addict. In fact, if they all fell off the face of the planet, I probably wouldn't even notice. So, why do I love this place? The staff! This is the happiest Starbucks in the world. Even when the line is long and patrons are becoming huffy and impatient, the baristas remain cheerful, singing, cracking jokes, calling you by name (or better yet "beautiful" or "gorgeous"), and turning your sour, tired look into a smile. FYI: This Starbucks is NOT open on weekends, which is tremendously disappointing when you are on call or visiting a patient. read more

Starbucks - New pink drink sleeves...How cute! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

I only come to this location because I work close-by otherwise, I would never come here. First of all, there's no drive thru (parking in this area sucks). The lines are ALWAYS long but this is to be expected since this is the only Starbucks on this side of the Med Center. I usually come here for coffee runs during work and show up with a long list of drinks to be made for my coworkers and this location has yet to mess up any of my orders (kudos for that). However, do prepare to wait as there are many staff from the UT Building and Memorial Hermann who roll up with long order lists like me...it is definitely worth the wait though! The staff is very friendly and don't seem the least bit annoyed even when the lines are out the door. My only tip when coming here for TMC workers: If you do have a long list of items to order, it saves time if you write all the orders on one piece of paper with each person's name so each cup can be labeled with the correct name & drink- this also makes it easier when you go back to work and distribute it out. read more

Best Starbucks I've Ever Been To: Wow, I am very impressed with my experience here.. I recently got a job at Methodist and I am a big coffee drinker, especially at Starbucks. I always get the same drink, and it hasn't tasted better than how they make it here! Not to mention how clean the store is, and how efficient/friendly the staff is. No hesitation starting up a conversation with you to brighten your day. Thank you TMC Starbucks for a great start to my day. read more

Why do you have to wait in an insane line if you order through the app? Super disorganized due to Covid. I would avoid and try a different Starbucks read more

My wife was sitting in Starbucks for 30 minutes waiting for her drink order with a 6 week old baby after her appointment. Apparently there was a very large order in front of her and no one was there to pick it up, yet, the other order was a much bigger priority. Maybe I don't understand how the world works... but no cup of coffee in America is worth that wait, especially for $5 a pop... read more

They completely ruined this location! It went from being a nice size store to a very small pick up only location. They do not want to interact with customers at all. When you do, they are very rude. I have frequented this location since it opened, but will no longer. Very disappointing. read more

Standard Starbucks quality and love that this location is so extremely close to Rice campus and in the Med Center. HOWEVER, the line is ALWAYS long, and on my last visit, I had to wait a good 10 minutes for my drink (even though I just was buying a bottled drink). If only the line was somehow made more efficient, it'd be perfect. read more

Located at the base of the Memorial Hermann tower, so best for those on foot in the med center or patients of nearby offices. I've also stopped in for water on a rice trail loop run. Employees are very nice and attentive, very busy in the mornings due to mobile orders so be warned. But they seem to know their regulars and are jolly at any hour of the day. Unlike TMC commons, this is an authorized Starbucks and can redeem your rewards. Ample seating inside despite being a smaller location. Some outdoor seating too. Walgreens next door if you need anything while visiting. Located inside the building to the west of the MH/Zoo rail stop. read more

I understand it's COVID and they can't have people inside so the young girl came out to ask who in line had pick up orders. Wrote down everyone's name but for some reason everyone else was getting their drink even people behind me. After about 10 minutes I asked them where my drink was for it to have been sitting there in front of them but I guess since I wasn't in scrubs they didn't think mine was a priority. Although I don't dress in scrubs I still am employed here at the med center and ultimately made me a few minutes late. But I wasn't leaving without something I had ALREADY paid for. read more

This is the busiest Starbucks location in the zip code and I have wasted so much time in line here that out of rage I could just smash my ph

Staff of this Starbucks, You are The Best. You always make me think --- what if I quit it all and become a Barista at Starbucks? YOU ARE LIVING THE DREAM. I am convinced the air is laced with something happy inducing. As a customer -- you will wait. You will wait in a line of 10+ people at ANY time of day. You will do it because the next "real" Starbucks is a 10 minute walk away. Stop being pissed. Wait in line. Be happy. Dance to "Happy" pumping out overhead with the crew. Know that waiting means you will be reward with a great Starbucks drink! Best Starbucks, with the best staff, with the best music in the TMC. My favorite is the jolly gentleman who takes the early morning shift. Shout out goes to the super buff barista with the natural hair who makes the best Flat White. Thank you! I adore you! You will wait. And you will deal with it. Because there is nothing closer and nothing better. One way to pass the time is by dancing in line to their fantastic playlist (needs more 70s Funk, IMO). Take in the rare moment where waiting does not bring bad news in the TMC. read more

This Starbucks is next to my work which is great! It can get busy randomly during work hours (I've noticed that it gets busy during Tuesday-Friday mornings as well as the afternoons around 1:30) Orders get backed up during those busy times (online or in store) but for the most part customer service is pretty good and they recently renovated the waiting area. They opened up the store more by removing unnecessary items (bar stand, food items, etc) that were located in the middle of the store. Obviously order online! It's a lot faster and you get notified when your order is ready. I recommend checking this Starbucks out if you are ever in the Med Center! read more

I'm convinced this is the worst Starbucks in all of America. No matter how long the line is you can expect to wait 15 minutes to An hour for your drink. They need another barista. Especially with mobile orders they get over loaded with drinks to make and it ends up taking forever. See picture I put read more

Starbucks - This is the worst Starbucks I've ever been to in my life. All the cups in this pic are drinks waiting to be made. Extremely slow - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

SB: we're out of whipped cream, we will have some in 5 min. ME: I'll wait. 10 min. Later SB: he's making it, it will be 10 min. ME: I'll wait. 15 min. Later SB: we're out of whipped cream. ME: can I have a carrier for my two drinks? it's three blocks back to the hospital. SB: we're out of carriers, it's been busy Grrrrrrrrrr read more

This Starbucks closes early like before I get off work. Maybe at 5? I like it! But it's always busy with people in and out. Not somewhere to study but right by the memorial Herman and zoo train stop. Bathroom is a little far on the 2nd floor. There's outside seating and wifi. read more

I'm surprised that I just today "checked in" at this location for the 1st time! Lord knows that I have to come to my ortho's office (one building over) too frequently after my injury... The minimum coffee breaks here of the last 3 months must be 6+. If you're able to last til 8:00 am you will have the place mostly to yourself. Earlier in the morning prepare to be in a fairly good line. The good news is the past is quite fast. This may be due to the "walk in" only aspect though. Don't expect to get in and out with a coffee if you're running late. read more

Sadly this place kind of free styles with the opening time. It's posted to open at 530am, but didn't get its doors unlocked today until 538 which is kind of lame when you have to be ready to go in the hospital at 600 sharp. The employees were kind of just chilling and socializing up until this point :| Being that this is the only Starbucks on the North end of the TMC, it can get pretty packed for most of the day. Be sure to avoid this place at all costs between 3pm and 4pm. You can be stuck in line for upwards of 30 minutes before you get your drink from ordering. If you come before 3 or after 445 you're pretty ok because people have decided that beating traffic is better than their afternoon Starbucks it seems. My pet peeve is that they haven't been making the drinks very consistently lately. I've ordered the same Starbucks refresher and it's looked/tasted different the past 3 times that I've ordered it. -_- read more

I'm generally not a big fan of Starbucks since I'm not really into large, chain coffee corporations. This location isn't much different, as the drinks here are nothing more than standard. But what differentiates this place is two things: 1) The line. Because of the location of this Starbucks, the line can sometimes get out of control, and you may often find yourself waiting pretty long for your drink. This is pretty understandable though, considering many doctors and nurses come to this location out of convenience. 2) The staff. The staff here is super great! The baristas and cashiers are incredibly funny and definitely love to have fun while working. Whether they're dancing, singing, or giving you compliments, the workers here really know how to enjoy themselves. It's honestly pretty cool because you wouldn't expect something like this from a typical Starbucks. read more

I've come to appreciate this location. I used to exclusively go to the other one by chipotle. STAFF They are actually so nice. Even with the constant buzz of people, they remain friendly and genuinely seem to love their jobs. DRINKS ON POINT. Oh my goodness. This location trains its baristas well! They know how to make every drink, and they make them very well. Quality is great at any time of day. AMBIANCE Always a line of people. It's very constant especially in the morning. The tables and chairs are nice. The corner in the back is great if you need to get some work done. I've gone to this location 3-4 times this week. Need I say more? read more

Standard Starbucks but SUPER PACKED. Good study spot for Rice students though and it's right off the metro! read more

I'm a frequent visitor to this location because my doctors are located in the adjacent buildings & after a few hours of being poked & prodded, this is where I come to recuperate. The staff is courteous, professional &, as busy as this place can be at times, quite efficient. Management always make me feel comfortable & welcomed whenever they see me & I greatly appreciate that. I don't like going to Drs' appointments but coming to Starbucks @ 6400 Fannin helps give me some peace of mind... read more

For any other Starbucks I would have given 2 stars max since their coffee is so bad. I really dislike Starbucks but I absolutely love this one. I used to come here to study back when I was in college and made friends with the baristas, and after that point on I rarely paid for my coffee. It gets extremely busy though, since it's in the med center. There are always doctors and med students and hobos (with whom I had to share my pack of cigarettes because they would always bum, which I'm perfectly fine with; just letting everyone else out there know about this that's all) around so the line may be quite long. But the baristas are awesome. The coffee is better than most other Starbucks' since they brew quite often because they run out frequently. That said, it's almost always extremely buys and it might not be possible to find seating in addition to having to wait in line for a very long time. So 3 stars overall. read more

Fast, friendly, and delicious. That's exactly what I expect from Starbucks and at this location they actually deliver. The staff is very nice and if you visit them frequently (like a local student would) they will remember you. What I actually LOVE about this place is that they occasionally feature certain deals when you buy this and that. Most other locations don't really push them on you, or if they do, they do it very aggressively. Here they inform you of them, and THEN they pull out a coupon they hid to make the deal even sweeter for you. How friendly and awesome can the staff get! read more

Yay! A Starbucks that is within walking distance from my school. I believe it's in the same building as Memorial Herman Hospital. Warning: This location gets very busy! read more

This is my favorite Starbucks.. EVER!!! I normally come here around 7-7:15 ish atleast twice a week. Somehow, I come right after a rush or beat another rush. There has never been more than 3 people ahead of me. I also get a Frappuccino and I'm out within 15 minutes at most. The staff are absolutely amazing!! I've been to other Starbucks around Houston (mainly the ones in Target and Meyerland) and they can't compare at all to this one!! read more

The staff here are always so friendly, however, there is always a loooooong line. It seems like this location is consistently understaffed, which is crazy considering this location is located inside a huge medical building and there is constant traffic. Get it together Starbucks and hire more people! read more

This is my absolute favorite Starbucks location. The staff are always friendly and the drinks are awesome! If there's ever a problem with your order, they'll make it right with the same friendly attitude. I am so going to miss this place when I transfer!! read more

By far one of the worst Starbucks I have ever been in. It's never a quick in and out and perhaps because they have a captive market it doesn't matter that there's a line out the door 20 plus cups lined up with drinks orders 4 people behind the counter only one making drinks. Mopping and stocking cups takes precedence. Recheck customer service please. read more

3rd is always the charm. I have emailed the corporate office 3X about how slow, dirty this Starbucks location. I even tried to go in the middle of the day when there is no rush for cranky coffee none morning people going to work in the hospital did not change the delivery of time and or get a warm friendly face. I hate to say that this Starbucks location is far the dirtiest, slowest and rude customer service I have ever paid expensive coffee for. It is not worth my money and walk to get my coffee. read more
