    This is your classic neighborhood Starbucks--but with a little extra. Yeah, the line is always long and it takes a bit to get your drink, but it's always made right and tastes good. Staff is friendly enough, no complaints there. What really makes this spot nice is the setup. There's an upstairs area and outdoor seating where you can chill, work, or just hang out. Free Wi-Fi, never too noisy, and you even get a view of the river. It's basically the spot everyone goes to in the area, so it is what it is. Solid, dependable, and chill. Not rocket science

    I'm generally not one to write negative review, but in this situation I feel inclined, to and to call Starbucks corporate to file a complaint on my recent visit. I've been a Starbucks customer for over 20+years, been going to Howard Beach Starbucks over 15+ years. I always raved that HB was the best Starbucks. The atmosphere, the place and barista was just awesome. I have seen a lot of faces come and go, but shout out to the OG baristas Jim and Will who are the remaining old crew left. Never had a complaint, UNTIL yesterday when I asked my Husband to pick me up a bottle of Vanilla Syrup. A Starbucks products I've been purchasing for years. It was $12.95 and it jumped up to $19.95 sometime last year. The cost is not the issue, it's the refusal to sale and the going back and forth with my husband (including the shift supervisor) and another Barista behind the bar "THEY DON'T DO THAT HERE" when they in fact DO. I was displeased with the situation, the service and how it was handled. I ended up having to call corporate and file a in-store experience complaint. The representative on the phone went thru all my previous transactions on my Starbucks reward card, and it does show I had purchased the bottle of Vanilla Syrup from HB location and the Macys Herald Sq Mezzanine location (on top of that I even got points for it too). The Starbucks that I know had always put customers satisfaction as their top priority, but unfortunately NOT in this situation.

    More ice than drink

    Wow 8 years later and this Starbucks is still shitty. It might be worse than I remember. Went twice this week and the first time they didn't make my mobile order. Waited and waited and it never came. And ironically it wasn't even crowded like it normally is. Today I got an iced drink and take a look at my pic. It was mostly just ice. The baristas are lazy, move incredibly slow while chatting with each other or texting on their phone, get drink orders wrong, and have an attitude when you ask them to make your drink right. The only reason people still go here is because it's the only Starbucks even close in the area. I just started making coffee at home.

    Your favorite neighborhood Starbucks. I love that every time I come in the vibe ranges from like Soulful Sundays to Soca Saturdays. This is the perfect spot to get away from the house and get some work done ! There's indoor seating/outdoor seating/roof seating with a good view of the water. Four stars because it does get busy since it's the only one on the boulevard-- can end up waiting over 10 mins for your drink. Order ahead !

    I'm sorry - I don't usually make these reviews but I think someone else reading this may benefit. Depending on who, takes your order it'll be a pleasant experience or an annoying one. Not because they're slow, but because someone might give you attitude. Next, I ordered a brown sugar shaken espresso, and it looked like a double mocha iced latte. Completely dark, bitter, no type of taste at all. Took 2 sips, and threw it out. Moral of the story - taste your drink before you go.

    Not sure why this location is charging customers a different price than the other Starbucks locations. E.g. tall Cappuccino exactly the same way made HOWARD BEACH charged $5.39 whereas other locations charged $4.30 ($1.09 differences in pricing). Isn't this a FRANCHISE????

    Disappointed.

    So it seems that the quality of this particular Starbucks has gone down and I'm not alone in the struggle. Let's start off good before we leap off the cliff. I had the most delicious sandwich here! Omg, if you're a pescatarian or vegetarian, you NEED to RUN to get the impossible sandwich. It's so good. Even if you're a meat eater, get it just to be shocked and astounded in wonder at how a meatless breakfast sandwich could be so damn good! On the flip side, I had one of the worst lattes I probably ever had in my whole life at not just any Starbucks, but ANY COFFEE SHOP OR CAFE EVER. Sorry but caps is necessary when Starbucks charges the prices they do and you end up with a cup full of milk and barely any coffee or espresso. I order a venti white mocha latte and it was mostly all milk to my surprise! Like imagine that. You can't even complain nor compliment your latte because there is no latte, mostly milk lol crazy. Overall, no stamps from me. Sorry. Phenomenal vegetarian breakfast sandwich though.

    This location is always so incredibly slow, but Monday they got my order correct and for that I'm grateful

    Waited over 20 mins for a coffee and cake pops. They have a horrible system of having customers pile up and wait for simple orders.

It's Eid so my sister and I came here to buy 6 bubble teas for the family (Around 5:45) When I ordered it, the cashier laughed in my face sarcastically. I asked her why she laughed and she expressed "cause I'm gonna have to make them now" um hate to break it to you babe but that's your literal job??? I did feel bad since she was the only one behind the counter at the time, so I changed my order from 6 to 4 bubble teas. I sat down with my sister and we watched as 3 other parties ordered and received their drinks while we still waited for ours. After quite the wait, I went to the pickup area to ask if our drinks were ready yet and they were ready, just sitting there for a while. I guess she didn't think to notify us that our drink is ready? I mean she saw us waiting so I don't know why she couldn't let us know. Such blatant disregard for customer's time. Maybe I'm spoiled by the amazing service I get at Chaiwala. I kind of regret going here today because on top of that, one of my bubble teas was filled literally halfway. I get that I ordered a regular size for two of the drinks and maybe they only had large cups but even then, what I received was waaaay less than what the regular cup holds. And this regular sized drink had waaaay less bubble tea than the other regular sized drink I ordered. I don't know if she did that on purpose or out of spite... but it did feel like it. Just look at the pictures I attached and see for yourself. Also, I asked for no ice and it definitely had ice in it. And as if it couldn't get any worse, my brown sugar milk tea was just milk with a tiny amount of brown sugar at the bottom. I defffffinitely did not get what I paid for and it really is disappointing. After such a long wait I didn't want to mention anything, so I took the drinks and left. But looking back, I really should have requested a refund. It was abysmal and I shouldn't have received such horrible products because I'm a paying customer like everyone else! It's astonishing how bad that one cashiers service was, I really think the owner should train his staff on common courtesy, it's not his fault but it's impacting his business. But I will say the other staff members are generally friendly and have great service, so maybe just train this girl. A couple of friends and neighbors here and there have also mentioned moments of off-putting service they experienced here, or similar inconsistencies with the product FYI.

This Kung Fu Tea is located in Howard Beach, Queens, NYC and very accessible by MTA NYC Transit buses Q52 SBS, Q53 SBS, Q41, Q21 and QM15 at Cross Bay Boulevard. My visit at Kung Fu Tea was good. Kung Fu Tea's slogan to name themselves as "America's bubble tea." The sales associate suggested passion fruit green tea to coincide with the high heat climate which I took to the heart. This young male sales associate was friendly and welcoming. Passion fruit green tea, medium $6.00 I like this passion fruit tea. My order was correctly fulfilled with 30% sugar and regular ice. Again, I highly despise extreme sweet drinks for the high sugar content volume and agree with former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg's limiting sugar level initiatives consumption of sugary drinks. Again, Bloomberg would be proud of my sugar intake level. Kung Fu Tea has my favorite topping grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 which refers to as "herbal jelly." Toppings are $0.75 but for grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 it was worth the price. I was elated that my grass jelly was the only topping embedded and no other annoying topping as passion fruit seeds. I wish the ice sustained my drink for coldness during my MTA NYC Transit bus ride home. I also wish I can purchase a bowl of ready made grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 as a dessert. I dream of many dreams... Order fulfillment for efficiency and accuracy are on point. There is one large Japanese maneki-neko 招き猫 beckoning cat prominently displayed high near the ordering counter blessing the business, greeting customers, serving as a good luck revered position and decoration. Very adorably cute and beautiful cat.
