I am a Realtor so I've probably hit every Starbucks in the state! I love the Newtown location. I love the makeover and the outdoor seating. The staff is only nice and friendly. I happen to change my order quite often and they are always giving me tips on how I can perfect my drinks. The manager Becky is the nicest and most upbeat person every time I see her! I also like thats is one of the larger stores, seems many have redesigned and made there seating less which I'm not a fan of since a lot of people (including myself) tend to work out of them. *Bonus* love the new drive through! read more

SLOWEST in Ct ,,Drive thru ESPECIALLY but walk in also , please speed it up people.... we got places to go read more

Stopped in to try the brown sugar cortado and have to say this location was filthy! The staff was nice, the floors were sticky and the very visible counters were dirty, garbage bin full to the brim. Not typical Starbucks standard! The cortado was great, but after driving for 10 mins became nauseous! Much potential to do better! read more

I've never had to wait for a coffee for 25 minutes. I had to get a refund because I could not wait any longer. I think they were training someone but maybe prime time on a Saturday afternoon isn't the best time. read more

I love going to Starbucks and honestly I go here very frequently.I always get a delicious chocolate cookie crumble frap and a grilled cheese but recently tried the glenda's pink potion.The grilled cheese,underrated.It's literally heavenly and if you have tried it you know what i mean.After the storm a couple weeks ago they remodeled inside Starbucks very cozy vibes and LOVE the merch section!The service is a little slow but the baristas are really nice.If you happen to be in Newtown definitely recommend coming to this location. read more

THREE WORDS: Electronic Dance Music! Let's go, bay bee! None of that Natalie Imbruglia! None of that Nat King Cole! This Starbucks doubles as a rave-spot on the down low. Put on your mesh shirt, grab an oversized pacifier and star spinning your glow-sticks! I've got to go... I'm peaking! read more

Starbucks - The hottest night club in Newtown. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

terrible service. No awareness of what they are doing and doesn't complete full orders at one time. Please don't go. Tall blonde guy doesn't have a sense of social awareness and patient customers waiting long periods of time. read more

Not a fan of the new location's vibe and decor. Feels more like an airport coffee shop vs hometown coffee shop. The old location had beautiful long wood tables and comfy chairs. What happened to them? Booo! read more

Service was good. The people behind the counter NEVER LEAVE BEHIND THE COUNTER to check the rest of the space...they never walk around to clean up the tables, the seating area, the floor. There's garbage all over... clueless. read more

This is the slowest Starbucks ever! I waiting in the drive thru for 25 min for a mobile order. I have two small kids so getting in and out of the car is difficult! They have 2 people working. This is the second and last time I'll come to this Starbucks read more

I love this Starbucks! Everyone is friendly; many of the employees take the effort to learn the names of us "regulars" and greet us by name. Friendliest Starbucks ever. read more

Clean, friendly and such a nice vibe at this Starbucks. Everything they make with drinks you can tell is made with love:) no errors on their orders, perfect blend of coffee and their other mixes. I have had cold coffees, lattes cold and hot, love their black tea/ lemonade my favorite. We come here all the way from Trumbull read more

WORST SERVICE EVER! Went inside because I wanted to use my own mug. What a mistake. The drive-thru and mobile order are the only priority for these people. They literally ignored me standing at the register for 10 minutes until I asked if someone was going to take my order. "Oh, you haven't been helped yet?" was the reaction. Then it took almost another 20 minutes to actually get my order made. 30 minutes in Starbucks for one simple drink is not even close to okay. Don't go here. Better off finding another location. They clearly don't know how to manage the new location with the drive-thru. What a disgrace to Starbucks. read more

I've seen this Starbucks in its morning and afternoon rush and in the mid afternoon hour with people whiling away hours and school kids coming in for a snack and frappachino and wifi. It's a good location, and the staff is very proficient, helpful and capable. And the food good. Can't find anything to complain about. I highly recommend it. I also sometimes park at caraluzzi and choose to walk to the Starbucks to stretch my legs as the parking is very tight, and during rush-hours, it is quite a while before you actually manage a left turn to get in or out! read more

The people that I was to company with the Starbucks or big Starbucks fan I will say I had a cookie in a smoothie from there which was to die for the environment is clean they have free Wi-Fi very peaceful to sit and get some work done maybe one day I will become a coffee drinker but for the most part the people that accompany me love the coffee I enjoyed my smoothie the bathrooms was very clean the servers and the hostess was nice and pleasant I definitely would recommend you going there thanks Starbucks for a great smoothie read more

The staff at this starbucks is unbeatable. I was initially upset that the location changed and a drive thru was added, because I genuinely love my interactions with the staff. However, I still get the same friendly smiles and small chats even at the drive thru. This location is so well managed, and I'm so thankful to have it so close to home. read more

Very nice staff. Friendly and smiling. The new place is bigger but not as cozy as the previous location. It's geared more for serving people off the highway. The old one was for the neighborhood and town folks. read more

Hands down the best Starbucks in Connecticut. Every time I come here my drink is correct, and made correctly, and I'm always greeted with a smile. I wish they all could be this efficient and friendly. read more

As far as Starbucks goes, one of the better ones! Parking in front can be tight, but there is more parking in the back. The service is always prompt and friendly, and they've never been out of anything I've ordered! Pros: fast service, friendly staff, get orders correct, clean location Cons: parking can be kind of annoying, but it's really not that bad if you park in back. read more

Used to be one of the best Starbucks stores, but it has turned into one of the worst. A very busy location, the Baristias used to have the customers moving quickly and were friendly, competent and even fun. Now lines out the door and a 10 minute wait for a simple whatever size coffee in the morning is common. The reason? Store management has shifted the experienced Baristas to the late afternoon shift! Late afternoon! I guess that's to handle the mad rush for people getting their caffeine fix at 6pm for their evening commute home! What has replaced the great, competent, courteous, friendly, fun Baristas? Plodding, depressed, morose, characitures of a Starbucks Barista. I have taken to avoiding my former Starbucks store in favor of the on in New Fairfield and re-heating my coffee when I get to work. Oh well. Updating my review from 2/2013. Starbucks in Newtown is back to its former status as the one of the best Starbucks stores in the area. The best Baristas have been put back on the "rush hour" shifts and the very busy store runs way more efficiently than any other. Charlie, Jess, Angela, and Mgr David (plus all the others) deserve mad props! read more

This Starbucks is my absolute favorite location. It was recently built and it is clean and comforting. The level of sanitation is excellent. The drive through it easy to go through and it has a nice screen so you can see what you are ordering. The staff is super friendly and willing to make conversation. I personally love the strawberry refresher and the egg bites from all Starbucks locations. This Starbucks is the best! read more

One of my favorite Starbucks coffee. Clean, great and friendly staff ! You can't go wrong by going to Starbucks. I wish they have a drive though. Would be so much easier ! read more

Outstanding staff, but the decor of this new cafe is cold and impersonal. It's as if they were going for a Cold War-era Warsaw theme: plain grey walls and a concrete floor. With no soft surfaces in the whole store, the place gets very loud and cacophonous, and is not good for conversation. Again, great crew. Just not a pleasant place to hang around. read more

Best starbucks in the area, love it here. the employes here are literaly always always happy and friendly, i actualy would like to work there if i ever find myself looking for a job again.. i would deff apply there. it looks like a great place to work and hangout any time. read more

Excellent service, friendly staff and a very clean atmosphere. I enjoyed my Iced Chai Tea Latte. This is how a Starbucks should be run!! Kudos to the manager and staff. read more

Worst drink my tasting pallet has ever touched. Highly do not recommend getting the cinnamon toasted almond macchiato. Possibly the worst mixed drink that' someone could get. The service was horrific and my drink took 30 minutes to come out. read more

When I go here there is always a line but thats fine. Other starbucks i have went to is never consistent. Ill get a white chocolate mocha and it would never taste the same but here its always great. Friendly staff. Plus big selection of cups which is bad for me bc i cant stop buying cups for some reason! read more

Newtown Starbucks. Exceptionally friendly, competent, efficient, and helpful service. Entire facility is impeccably clean. Always a joy to eat there, which is why I do it so often read more

It's your average Starbucks (maybe a bit larger than average?) with some comfy chairs and reliable coffee.

This is my favorite Starbucks location. The coffee and food are just as good as any Stabucks store. But the staff in this store are better than most at welcoming customers in a warm and relaxed way. They work hard and pump out the orders. But they smile and treat customers with courtesy. That makes a big difference. read more

Starbucks currently has, in my opinion, the best coffee in town. However, as with most Starbucks, you're going to get an experience on par with any other Starbucks. On the upside, the baristas there are friendly and willing to go the extra mile to make sure your coffee is just right. However, if the manager is behind the bar (baldish guy with glasses), WATCH OUT! I've walked out of the store before to avoid having him make my coffee. He cheaps out on syrups (never had a caramel macchiato with so little caramel). He's also not at all willing to work with the customer. This would probably be a five-star review if he weren't there. read more

The girls are the best in the AM- agree, a driveway would make things more efficient - however, my morning isn't started when I'm home unless I get Starbucks from here. Will miss them when I move!!! read more

I go to this Starbucks all the time because it's convenient in town! It's cute and a nice place to sit down and relax... Maybe do some work. the people are nice too! read more

A few coffee shops have come and gone. Starbucks still offers the best coffee in town. It would be nice if they carried a bit better variety and quality of food items. read more

Normally a great place wonderful customer service but today as the line grew and grew 2 employees sat and chated. If they were on break that is okay but go in the back room so people don't stand in line getting pissed. I saw people walk out. read more
