Starbucks, Roosevelt Island
Bruce K.

On our way to the north end of Roosevelt Island, my friend spotted this Starbucks and told me that she'd like to stop there. So as we made our way back, we grabbed another free ride on the Red Bus that stops almost immediately in front. Thankfully, this Starbucks has a public restroom and it was surprisingly clean. There is a code to enter but the code is posted on the door. While I took care of my business, my friend queued up and got an iced green tea. We sat outside and enjoyed the tea and the sunshine, which was only partially interrupted by a brief rainshower as the apartment on the roof watered their plants and missed. Nice Starbucks, comfy location, long queue. [Review 15675 overall - 268 in New York - 1179 of 2021.]

Very nice Starbucks location not too far from the tram ans subway station. One of the nicer ones I have seen lately. Cool art on the walls, a lounge-like back room with comfy chairs, tables, and outlets to charge up your phone. Terrific cold AC on a hot day. Fast and friendly baristas. There is also an outside patio seating area with umbrellas over the tables.

You can always find a place to seat outside. Store very friendly. There were 6ppl working around 11am. No one was about to order and I wait about 3min when the cashier got me. There were about 5ppl waiting for their orders. My order came after 5min. If you're rush, I don't think you should come and order here. I saw ppl got frustrated for their drinks. Outside seating is gorgeous view in Manhattan between the East river. Bathroom is very clean and quiet big.

This is a great Starbucks with fantastic views of the Queensboro Bridge and Manhattan. They have a pretty large outdoor seating area surrounded by flowers. We really enjoyed sitting back and relaxing for a while after all the walking we had done that day. A perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Staff was very friendly and the drinks were the quality you expect from Starbucks. I really liked the inside as well but unfortunately the indoor seating area is not currently open.

Matcha latte

Best Starbucks in nyc. Love getting my matcha here. Manager and baristas are always having a great energy, the ambiance is chill and store is always clean despite the amount of tourists and people they receive. Michelle is the best barista ever

Paradise Drink Refresher and Pineapple Refresher - New on the Menu

This Starbucks is quite small compare to other Starbucks in the city. However, they are quick on making drinks when you use the Starbucks app. Plus it is only Starbucks on Roosevelt Island which is right behind the F train. They also have outdoor sitting area as well. Also, yesterday one of the baristas was kind enough to remake one of my drink which was missing. I am pleased with the service they provided. I do wish they sell more of the new pineapple/ paradise refreshers. Yesterday was first and last I was able to buy from them. I know it is popular this summer tho. Hopefully they restocked again soon.

This particular Starbucks is the only Starbucks on Roosevelt Island so...it's my go to when visiting my family here. I happened to catch the first day of Pumpkin Spice drinks and treats so I chose a pumpkin scone. It's delicious although it packs a LOT of calories. This location is pretty small in comparison to all the ones in my hometown area but they still offer most everything. The baristas have been very friendly and prepare the tasty drinks quickly.

"Caramel frappe"
Dolly U.

As with many stores music is too loud, i know im getting old. Normally 2-3 associates but somehow no one looks at the line and take a few minutes to get an order in. And once you do get ready to wait your sweet time only for your order NOT to be right. Today I ordered a caramel frappe hoping to have SOME coffee on it. All i got was an attitude and milk, ice and caramel.

I went here this morning the cashier Taya took my order I asked for something to keep me up and make it with carmel. She made me a blonde with a shot of expresso. So good. I am now at work happy! Overall the service was good,quick considering this was my first time going to this starbucks location .will be back soon

I had an easy and quick experience getting my drink this morning. The spot can get pretty crowded as the island get some tourists, so it might be a good idea to order ahead on the app. This is a pretty small Starbucks location. It's one of the few places to grab a cup of coffee on the island. There are some tables to sit outside. There's also a restroom.

Hehehe.. One wasn't enough.. :P

This is the Starbucks location where I work on Roosevelt Island. Pros: -Great location, situated right next to the subway station, and within easy walking distance to a pizzeria, a Bar & Grill and a Sushi restaurant. -Clean and well maintained. -Lots of seating, both indoor and outdoor Cons: -A lot of the seasonal specials, for example, the Pumpkin Spice specials they have, run out very quickly OR they just don't have them available at all! Disappointing.. -Sometimes they'll have 1 person making the drinks and 1 cashier, or I've even seen 1 person doing both cashier and drink making.. So the wait can get pretty long.

Wanted to write this review based on the wheelchair accessibility and laptop areas…read more There are coffee shops in the neighborhood with laptop rules that say you have to sit at the high tables. Obviously as a wheelchair user, I cannot sit at the high tables, and when I have asked the staff for understanding, other places have denied me. Ines let me use my laptop at a wheelchair accessible table without any fuss. Mark was very gracious. When I asked, he said, "we will make an exception." I felt heard without advocating for common sense and I greatly appreciate the humility. Thank you!

The place is cute and small. They have good happy hour prices on wine. The food we tried wasn't…read moreso great. My friend had been here before and raved about the escargot and meatballs. The escargot was covered with pesto that tasted like the basil wasn't fresh. Also, I'm sure there was plenty of garlic because the restaurant smelled like it, but I would have liked more garlic in this dish. The meatballs were mostly bread (there may have been some meat). After we complained, the item was removed from our bill by our friendly, polite, and conscientious server. Note: This is a French restaurant, but they didn't have any butter for the bread.

IT's usually fresh, lines move quickly, and same fare as all the other Breads in the city. Large…read morearea to sit compared to some of the other locations. It's pricey but food is fresh.

Breads Bakery does a fab job with holiday preorders. The process was seamless and so much better…read morethan stressing out and running to multiple locations to try to get doughnuts. They have a table to pickup preorders so you don't have to wait in the main line. I ordered a dozen for $39. You can select your assortment. Here's my review in order from the best to the least desirable, according to our group. Vanilla custard- the filling was thick and speckled with vanilla beans. It wasn't too sweet. This was the best according to our group. Strawberry filled- this is most traditional and Breads Bakery does a nice job. The jam is homemade. Pistachio- this doughnut was filled with smooth pistachio cream and was topped with a few pieces of pistachio. Not traditional, but they did a good job. Chocolate- the filling tasted like a semisweet or bittersweet cream/custard. Like the others, it was smooth. The vanilla was more popular among our group and I personally didn't love this doughnut. Mango- this was the one that those in my group felt missed the mark. It wasn't cloyingly sweet, so that was good, but the filling didn't do anything for us either. If you're looking for a mango dessert the one at Lysée is a real winner.
