If you tell me all the Starbuckses are the same, that's like saying all McDonald's locations are the same. And if your reply is you'd never go to a chain, there's probably not much more to discuss. I've quipped that I can't make an autobiographical movie because Todd Solondz would sue me for plagiarism but part of my founding narrative was an overly simplistic take on cities vs. rural areas. If Twitter existed when I was 14 my account would have been the most vitriolic assortment of anti-NYC videos. (California tumbles into the sea, that'll be the day I go back to Fresh Meadows). After years of Mellencamp-fueled thoughts of farms and trees, I actually got to spend some time in the country and eventually realized I'm more of a faux-rural type. For example: I like the hiking trails and dark skies in New Paltz but I'm glad you can get there by bus or buy a coffee at 2AM. In recent years I've been on a Mystic kick. I like the crickets, stars and unexpected animals (well, not that fox that seemed weirdly unafraid of human contact). But I'm also glad that iced Americanos are a short walk away. The beverages have been perfect and the service has been friendly every time. I certainly appreciate the existence of the outdoor seating even if I didn't choose it on this late-September excursion. Just like my local JC branch, the Yelp rating here is out-of-whack. As baristas are drawn into dumb political sagas and forced to comply with more corporate rules, I appreciate their hard work. read more

This Starbucks is located in Mystic, just across the street from Olde Mistick Village. The inside is clean with some seating, but what I really liked is the outside patio. They have shaded seating if you'd like to sit out of the sun. I got an iced latte, but instead they called my name with a hot latte. I would have taken it, but on a particularly warm day, and sitting on the outdoor patio an iced latte was what I wanted. They remade it iced for me. I felt a bit guilty asking for a new one, because the hot one was probably fine. They apologized for the confusion. I sat outside and enjoyed. read more

Never know what you're going to get at this Starbucks location!!! There seems to be good amount of turnover I'm not sure if it's seasonal turnover or not, but it was just recently that you started to see the same faces on a regular basis. The coffees are usually made to perfection so there's no complaints on the quality of Starbucks recipes. However, I do wish there was a drive-through on this location. So be prepared there's no drive-through and usually a wait. That said they have some of the best water, from what I've been told they have an elite filtration system at Starbucks locations so I normally try to get some water along with my coffees. The kids always love a nice cake pop or lemonade with the fruit bubbles. My stopping today was your basic fall, beverage, pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin. Cheers to fall read more

Very conveniently located with plenty of parking and even outdoor seating to go around for everyone . Stopped in for a quick ice coffee and was promptly greeted by the very friendly barista, overall the service was very good and quick! Lots of seats inside to sit down and sip on your coffee or do some work while you sip on your coffee as well! The outdoor seats are very nice and relaxing especially with a nice sunny weather sitting outside is a must! read more

I have always had great service at the Mystic Starbucks. Recently the crew has been friendly, efficient and cheerful. The coffee is amazing even if it is a bit pricey. I have nothing negative to say and believe me I value service and quality. I am 75 and active. The Peppermint Mocha is one of my favorite treats and they make it perfectly every time. read more

Closed again today. This Starbucks really needs to move. The amount of building issues that cause closures and/or an inability to go in store have been ridiculous this year. Your location scouting and ability to rise above challenges is better than this Starbucks. read more

Large area for chilling out and enjoying a hot or cold cup of go go juice. today was a hot chai tea latte kinda day. Tasty and warm! read more

Coffee maker is broken. Can't do pour overs ‍what's the point of being a coffee shop if you only can make sugar filled pseudo Gatorade drinks that are way overpriced. read more

This place gets super busy with the aquarium and hotels nearby so I suggest using the online app, we use it every single time. It is to the point where people look at us with pure anger when we just walk in, grab our drinks, and leave! Only once have we had a bad drink here and we typically visit several times per week. I live about 5 minutes away and I'll order in the driveway and the drink is usually ready as I get there. Very nice baristas. read more

I'm always happy with Starbucks until now. The prices are getting a little out of control. Come on guys how much are you going to charge for a cup of COFFEE! I love ya but let's not get crazy in prices!! As far as this Starbucks the staff is great very friendly and helpful. I can say the store is clean and organized. I can't rant to them about the prices. I hope the CEO gets a handle on reality . Not everyone can afford the$$$ . read more

Slowest Starbucks ever. Came in to grab a quick coffee and 4pm and while it wasn't crowded the line moved at a snail's pace with only two people behind the counter. This not what we expect at Starbucks. Fix it. read more

Some Starbucks are good and some Starbucks are bad: this is a good one! they were fast the staff was sweet and nice. My latte was perfecto. read more

Extremely rude and unprofessional... didn't care I have allergy to regular milk and I need coconut milk instead. Go work at McDonald's maybe

Are they ever open? Even before COVID the hours were random. Hostile atmosphere. Customers are not welcome!

just nowNEW They've consistently left things out of my drink I paid extra for the last 3 times I've come here, but more recently my girlfriend got a drink that was supposed to have half and half and instead of that they used a sweet heavy cream, made her coffee thick as all hell and undrinkable. Will not be going here anymore. You would think they'd do a better job with not having do deal with drive thru stress. But no. I d suggest you make sure your drinks right before you leave. Or spend your money at a Starbucks that knows what they're doing. ( also maybe instead of having me scream my name 5 times at 9Am through a mask and across the room at you it would be smart to not having the music blaring to the point you can't hear people? Just a thought. ) Went back here today. Made a mobile order for 2 drinks. Got in, Waited 20 minutes. Had 1 done and hadn't started the second one yet. Reason for that was they didn't have any banana which we paid extra for, no refund for that. On top of that I have to stand around a FULL CROWD OF PEOPLE! 15 to be exact. 2 of which were just standing in the middle of the room with their masks pulled down just eating. And 1 other dude without a mask entirely. KICK HIM OUT. WHAT THE HELL. 100% I don't care how much I want Starbucks, it makes more sense to go down to groton where they actually take care if you and your order. Mystic Starbucks is the worst place I've been too read more

It's the closest Starbucks to me & also one of the best. It's in a touristy area & not too far off of 95. The baristas are friendly & I've never seen it too crowded. As far as Starbucks goes it doesn't have a drive-thru which would be nice but it's very spacious & clean inside. They just renovated too & it seems like they made it bigger somehow. There's also a nice outside patio to sit during warmer months. read more

Literally the slowest Starbucks I have ever been to in my life!!!! It's like the staff just doesn't care that people are waiting for their orders.... read more

I came in around 3:30 on a friday and it wasn't real busy. I ordered cassie waited on me and was super personable and very professional and my drink tasted exactly like i expected it to. read more

Quick service, clean tables and bathrooms. Staff are all super nice and helpful. They don't have a drive-thru, but they do mobile order which is way faster. I work a quick 3-4 minute walk away. I'll put the order through as I'm heading out the door and it's done when I get there. I'm consistently impressed with how clean it is. There's never trash on the floor, the service station is always wiped down and the pitchers of chilled milk and cream are always full. read more

Starbucks continues to be on the finance companies in the United States as of now approaches I continues to grow into China and the Asian market at once again continue to be a company that reaches out to the worlds coffee drinkers.

I feel kind of silly reviewing a Starbucks because, you know...it's a Starbucks. Whoop-de-do. This Starbucks, however is quite nice. Big, airy, lots on windows, and when I went in on a Saturday mid-morning in September, there were plenty of seats available. However, the service was quite slow on the day I went. I was in line for about 10 minutes with only 5 or so people in front of me. That said, the woman at the register was nice, and while I was in line, the barista walked along the line and got people's orders so she could get started on them. I've never seen them do that at a Starbucks outside of New York, so it was nice - it saved me a few minutes of waiting on the other end. Note: they don't have soy milk at the counter with the other milks, sugar, cinnamon, etc (the barista told me they don't put it out because few people at this location use it), so if you want some to add to your coffee, ask for it when you're picking up your drink. read more

This is one of the better Starbucks in the state. Maybe that's because it didn't originally start out as a run-of-the-mill Starbucks. I forget exactly but I think the building started out as a Dunkin Donuts. The inside is open and airy with lots of windows. There's also outdoor seating. By the way, its locaton is located directly across the street from Mystic Aquariam. So maybe, just maybe, you'll see either Kela or Jasper waddle through the front door. They're two of Mystic's star beluga whales and I hear they're very addicted to Starbucks peppermint mocha frappaccinos. read more

I've come to this location many times, every time I am disappointed. The music is always blaring very early in the morning, the people working can't hear me when they ask for my name so I have to scream to be understood. My drinks are always melted by the time I actually get them even when I watch them make it. The employees always have an attitude for no reason! Today I went to get my drink I ordered over mobile, they didn't have bananas and I paid extra to have one put in my drink, they didn't give me back the money for it. They also had way over capacity for Covid, people were in there without masks, and no one was following any precautions. Dirty. I will not be returning to this location. read more

Convenient location, right off the highway (sort of). About 3 traffic lights away from the highway. There is no drive-thru, but has tons of parking, and clean restrooms. This location never seems to have a crazy long, agonizing line to wait in. The staff are friendly and as fast as they can be with one person creating all the handcrafted beverages. It's not Dunkin' Donuts.. it's Starbucks..everything is done by hand, so keep that in mind while you wait for your grande in a venti cup nonfat skinny mocha with extra whip cream latte.. kidding, that sounds horrid, but you get the idea. Patience. read more

Most Starbucks are alike, so it seems strange that I would rate this location any higher than any other Starbucks I've been to. That said, I absolutely fell in love with this spot! I don't typically travel to Mystic, however it's on my way between where I live and my family. One day I had a hankering for a Salted Caramel Mocha so I fired up the ol' Starbucks app to see where I might be able to feed the craving and this little spot popped up, and so I went. I don't know what it was about this place but I loved it. The location was light and airy, with plenty of seating should you so choose to dine there. The coffee was pretty standard as far as Starbucks goes, but the atmosphere made me enjoy it more than usual. And, it seemed this location (maybe due to its size) offered more baked goods than other stores I've visited. read more

Clean store recently renovated. Fairly accessible with plenty of parking. The coffee was fresh and the service was pleasant. It was a standard Starbucks experience and you shouldn't be afraid to stop. We were in on a rainy Sunday night, I am sure with its proximity to the shopping center at Mystic it gets crazy busy on nice days and the shopping holidays. read more

Rude employees specially the bitch who works on the cashier. She is so stiff and stuck up perhaps if she remove the stick up her ass and realize that she is just a stupid cashier in fing Starbucks she can relax a bit. If you notice previous reviews you will see the same issue read more

Drink was made well once I finally got it, but this is the slowest Starbucks I've ever been to. Drinks aren't filled according the order received. Mine was a Strawberry refresher so took a little more effect to make so it kept getting shoved to the end of the line. I finally asked nicely only to get a rude response. Btw, the store is a pig pen. No straws out and napkins all over the floor. Counters full of spilled coffee. Ugh. read more

The worst Starbucks experience ever! Rude and slow. Every drink they make has to go back for a redo. I asked for an iced green tea. She didn't even make an effort to try and make it right! When I asked her to mix it so I don't drink chunks of tea she literally took a straw to mix it with! Really?????? I can do that! read more

Big fan of this starbucks. Never had a bad experience here. It's in a great location right across from the Aquarium.

Rude Rude Rude The worst Starbucks that I have been to unfortunately I live in the Area so my choices are few. It seems every time I go I leave unhappy and with a frown on my face the staff is very rude and impatient. I ordered two of the same drinks green tea frappuchino and they are blended together many times. I have asked staff to do them separate and they seem to be bothered when it is the policy and how they have been trained to do their job. The staff should be retrained on customer service and policy. l have been to other Starbucks and this is by far the worst and I do everything to avoid it. read more

Slow service overall. Macchiato was weak. Prices are to high. Dunkin donuts is overall better experience for the money.

Only one drink per receipt on the "treat receipt?" Well that's news to me! Other locations have honored multiple drinks off of a single receipt. Guess this one is special. The girl who relayed this info to us was not super nice about it either. read more

Typical Starbucks, which means I'm a fan! Great friendly staff and the facilities are always clean. No drive-thru here though.

It is a Starbucks so you know what you are getting. Nice location, staff was very nice. I didn't get a fancy schmancy drink so I can't tell you if they make a good latte, etc. read more

Great place. Love the new flat white

By far the best Starbucks I frequent. The staff is friendly and remembers you, the coffee is made properly, and it's a convenient stop before I hop on 95 towards Boston. However, it does get busy during tourist season and I sadly tend to avoid it then and head to Groton instead. read more

Decent Starbucks but has the industrial interior. Not a comfortable place to hang out. No smoking on back patio allowed either. Baristas are quick and got the order right 5 days in a row. Not bad. I would go back, but wish Starbucks would go back to the comfortable interior. The metal/plastic chairs are just not as inviting. read more
