This has to be the best Starbucks - the efficiently of this place is insane. It has hundreds of people all morning and manages every order with ease. The status screen is the best too. Literally every step. They're super friendly and have awesome music too. ^this is for the Starbucks in Penn station, near all the little restaurants. Amtrak one is super friendly too read more

I honestly never thought I'd be writing a review for a Starbucks matcha after trying so many authentic Japanese tea shops... but this drink genuinely surprised me! I tried the Blue Matcha Latte, and it was so refreshing. The combination of coconut, mango, and spirulina worked really well together, and I was happy that it wasn't overly sweet like some Starbucks drinks can be. The location inside Penn Station made it super convenient for a quick grab-and-go drink, and the service was fast. It ended up being the perfect afternoon pick-me-up while exploring the city. Definitely one of my favorite Starbucks seasonal drinks! read more

Starbucks - Iced Blue Coconut matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Never thought I'd write a Starby review at Penn Station but here I am. Honestly, not the normal cheery Starbucks staff. Maybe because they deal with commuters the workers seemed grumpy / unfriendly. Barista who took my order was curt and lacked that something that would compel me to come back. Super meh. Drink was okay. Got an iced tea. Drink itself can't be ruined. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Located inside Penn Station, this Starbucks is always in full hustle-and-bustle mode. It's crowded, but impressively well staffed. Despite the nonstop traffic, I've never waited more than five minutes for my order, which is honestly surprising. It's very much a grab-and-go spot with limited seating, but it's consistently clean, friendly, and fast. I usually only go to Starbucks during the holidays for their seasonal drinks, and this location always delivers! This location is perfect for a quick stop after a train ride. read more

Starbucks - Caramel Brulée Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Large Starbucks located in the LIRR concourse. Plenty of seating and the typical menu of items. There are screens here showing where your drink order is on a list of names, and a screen listing all the upcoming LIRR trains so you are aware of what track your train will be on. read more

Ordered a Mocha and a hot tea, service was terrible. Cashier somehow got Richard instead of Rachel and the hot tea NEVER came. Had to cancel order or miss our train. Baristas were extremely rude when we asked about our missing tea, filling multiple food orders while the cup sat on the counter. Very unprofessional and the music was so loud as to be unpleasant. Avoid this place at all costs. Would give no stars if that were possible. read more

This Starbucks is on the concourse level of 1 Penn, and this location is perfect for me as I don't have to leave the building. this is great especially in a cold rainy or snowy day. However , I am annoyed every time when I come here as it takes forever to get my coffee. I always order the simplest item from the menu( Grande Pike ) . Still, I have no idea why it takes them 7-10 mins ( sometimes it takes longer than 10 mins) to get my coffee. The store has a lot of baristas and it is never too busy, but the staffs are just very slow preparing the orders. read more

Starbucks addiction to fancy coffee drinks can become a costly weekly habit, and it is worth exploring why? Is it primarily the sensory experience, the aroma, warmth, and texture that draws people in? Or is it the complexity of flavors and endless variety that keeps them coming back? For many, though, the daily ritual revolves around the caffeine's stimulating effects whether it is that morning jolt to start the day or an afternoon pick-me-up. However, I believe there is more to it. Much of our attachment to Starbucks and similar coffee brands is rooted in their social and cultural significance. These drinks have become symbols of a lifestyle, a way to connect, or even a small act of self-care in a busy world. And let us not forget the powerful role of marketing and branding. Ultimately, I think a person's relationship with coffee can evolve over time, shifting from mere caffeine dependence to a deeper appreciation or even a social ritual. Regardless of the reasons, here I am, finding myself in Penn Station in need of a caffeine fix. The Starbucks here is presentable, and the service is wonderful, making it the perfect spot to pause, recharge, and prepare for what is next. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

My reviews are usually the same for these types of corporate chains. This new, very large location is located in Penn Station just before you walk from, to your train or final destination in NYC. There were plenty of employees here in this very large location and the line moved very quickly. There is also plenty of space to wait in the restaurant. I am not sure if they plan on putting tables and chairs here but they certainly have ample space. They have the perfect blend of employees, customer service and a great product... The team in this location was FANTASTIC.... While I think the entire Starbucks Team is exceptional, I think this group just blends together perfectly. It's extra tough when you have a line all day with no break and everyone trying to get out as fast as possible O.K., enough Kudos... Lets talk coffee. I really enjoy the Pike Blend, their original coffee blend. Rich smooth and no bitterness at all. If this this doesn't keep you coming back for more, I'm not sure what will. I am also a big fan of their breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal, bagels and muffins. Today was just a coffee to take on the train with me for my ride home KUDO's to the team here at Starbucks. read more

This is a very convenient Starbucks. It's located between the LIRR, Amtrak, and the subway though closer to A,C,E (blue line) then the 1,2,3 (red line). When I went, there was 1 person in front of me. I ordered a green tea latte (forgetting it's really called matcha). The cashier had to ask someone before he realized it was the same thing. My bad since I forget the drink name sometimes. The order took a while even though there were a handful of mobile orders in front of me (3 drinks). There is an electronic screen to let you know where in the queue you are. Make sure you have time before you order. I have to say they did make the matcha latte to my liking. Thank you read more

If you are a native New Yorker or have ever been to New York, then you are probably fully aware or have heard of Pennsylvania Station (also known as New York Penn Station or simply Penn Station). Penn Station is the main intercity railroad station in NYC and is usually super busy and crowded. The station is located beneath Madison Square Garden in the block bounded by Seventh and Eighth Avenues and 31st and 33rd Streets and in the James A. Farley Building, with additional exits to nearby streets, in Midtown Manhattan. In 2021, the Moynihan Train Hall, an expansion of Penn Station into the Farley Post Office building as well as expansion of the LIRR concourse and a new direct entrance from 33rd Street to the LIRR concourse opened. At Penn Station, you can take the Amtrak, Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), NJ Transit (NJT), and the subway. I usually always take the LIRR and the subway. Starbucks always occupied this space by the departure tracks even before the renovations, but it is now open at the LIRR Concourse at Penn Station. It is convenient to grab a drink at Starbucks if you got some time to kill before your track number appears on the boards or before you board your train. Inside, it is very spacious. The cashiers are all the way in the back of the store and pick up is near the front. There was a screen to follow the status of your drink which I have never seen before. There is also artwork on the walls. After ordering, I waited about 5 minutes and my drink was ready. read more

Perfect spot to grab a quick coffee right off the train. Very continent, clean, and friendly staff.

This is one of those locations where its hustle and bustle, everyone's here for a second to pick up their drink, then off they go. In fact there is little to no seating here at all. I didn't check to see if they had WiFi, and there was really no need for me to do that. What I did see were close to ten employees taking orders and preparing coffee and drinks. I ordered an ice latte and it took literally 60 seconds for them to make it. I did not notice any types of pastries or cake treats, and my guess is that there is no demand for it. Fast just like the rest of New York City. This is not really a destination cafe where you would come to spend time with your friends. It really is geared for commuters and people who are in an rush to get somewhere. read more

Starbucks - Cup of joe for the train ride - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I came down to the usual Starbucks I go to on the concourse and it was closed so I continued to walk remembering there may have been another one on the other end. Well, lo and behold, in the middle section of the rugged space, there was a newly remodelled, expanded Starbucks waiting for me! The décor looked more like the reserved locations, with the lovely coffee map on the wall and the subdued natural brown wood, bronze and gold accents. The staff was bright and chipper ready to take my order fully masked with partitions. I felt really comfortable about ordering one of my favorite holiday drinks. While there was a wait, the music and baristas were entertaining while drinks were steadily rolling out for pickup and in-store guests. Glad to see I will not have to sweat it out down the hall in the original location. See you guys again soon. read more

I got a Frappuccino. It was all ice, basically barely any drink. It was just like a ice drink at that point was really enjoyable. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

As my drink sits in the back counter ready, I ask a worker(presumably the manager since they were wearing a different cooler shirt) for it, without even checking she says it's coming and walks away. A more competent employee sees the drink sitting there and grabs it for me. The cashier was nice, the person who brushed me off could use some work. read more

This Starbucks is conveniently located near the Amtrak and LIRR tracks. I am glad that it opens early at 6 AM even on the weekends. The baristas were friendly and efficient. Some of the Penn station "characters" hang out here but otherwise a pleasant experience and okay place to chill while waiting for a train. read more

I love the vibes here. The staff has been great all week. The coffee has always been great, But why is it so hard to add whipped cream? It gets overwhelming because I lost count on how many Starbucks locations that I been to, that either they forgot to add it or just hoped I wouldn't notice. Whether I order it through the mobile app or in person, I always have to take the coffee back and have them add it because let's be serious! Starbucks coffee is not cheap! So I want my moneys worth on every penny! But seriously employees in every Starbucks needs to get it together. That's why sometimes I intentionally order the Frappuccino because it automatically comes with whip cream! read more

My worst experience I had. I ordered a Hot Chocolate. A simple drink. I was waiting for like maybe 5 mins and other people that came after me after. They received their coffee. So then I ask for a refund. And I didn't like the feedback on the on the transaction "didn't want" .I'm not sure if I will ever come back to this location. read more
