I ordered through my mobile app for a Caramel Macchiato and Nitro Cold Brew on half off Tuesdays for July. I knew it was a morning rush and expected to wait for my drinks, even with the order ahead. However, my drinks were ready when I arrived at Starbucks. Staff was friendly and I love walking into Starbucks smelling coffee! read more

Never got to get any food! After waiting in the drive thru for 25 min. On Saturday April 25th 2026. At 10:05 am, slowly moving. Get to the window and ask if breakfast was still being served. I was told No, we stop that at 10:30, I said but I've been in the line for 25 min. , I was then told that they were very busy and very short staffed and that that he was doing everything from washing dishes to taking orders and so on. I said this is unacceptable and can I speak to your manager. He goes off , calling a name and saying someone's not happy. The person who came back to the window , and said loudly what do you need. I explained the situation. And he said breakfast has ended and then told him we were in line for 25 min. He yelled well im extremely short staffed and thats how it is and walk off. I have never seen such poor customer service. I've worked in customer service my whole working history. Never have I experienced such a rude manager. I will never go back to McDonalds at this location or any other. For what the rudeness of this manager.and I was so angry . The cost of the So called convince of these stores being fast. Thats an oxy moron. There never fast ! The food is adequate at most. If they even get your order right. I'll be enjoying my breakfast, lunch or dinner at an establishment that treats me like a customer, a well paying one. What can improve at this particular Store is a New Manager. For what they make and the training they receive. He should of been more equipped to handle this situation. I will also be reaching out to the Corporate office to lodge a complaint against this individual. read more

Located in downtown Norfolk on Granby Street where parking is atrocious lol. I stopped in to get a white chocolate mocha. There was no greeting and service was mediocre. The mocha tasted more like hot chocolate than coffee. read more

So this place is finally not crowded...which is no excuse for the cashier to clumsily put her bare hands all over the top of my coffee cup without a stopper. Normally, I'm pretty gracious about most things, but come on. It's still COVID out, please use common courtesy. The online app says they're out of caramel, but for some reason you can order it in person. Oh, well. Maybe I'm just extra grumpy because I need caffeine. read more

Pretty solid drive-thru Starbucks experience. I didn't sleep much last night so I knew I needed a pick me up. While headed towards the base on I-64 I looked up closest Starbucks with a drive-thru and this baby showed up. Minor detour, 5 mins tops. It was easy to navigate to and the drive-thru lane was clearly marked. About 5 cars in front of me but the line moved swiftly and my drink was ready at the window when I pulled up. Friendly staff and I paid with my phone app and was on my way. Easy as pie! I've never been inside but this is in a primo location with other shops around and an easy in and out and stoplight to cross the intersection. Win! read more

Slow I mean slow,& overpriced $6.50 for a small- it's normally $5 anywhere else ... she paused to take order , & then we all sat for 15 minutes possibly more ! I get fast service is fading but this was ridiculous ! read more

I love the location of this Starbucks. What I don't like is why my drinks at this location always taste different from the other locations. Also another issue is that, every time I come here, I am handed a sticky drippy cup. When I ask them to take it back and wipe it down, I get the strangest look from the barista. Today I tried the salted caramel frapp, I absolutely enjoyed it. I paired my frapp with the madeleines. The frapp was good, the only thing I subbed was including 2% milk. Although it was good, I will stick to my normal chai tea. read more

I have enjoyed going to this location. There is either no line, or the line moves quickly. Everyone is super friendly and helpful here. I'm always able to get the pick me up I need or satisfy a sweet tooth. I am giving four stars, because I recently ordered the strawberry acai refresher, and it had no strawberries in it. That was a bummer, and I was in a rush so I didn't make a big deal out of it. I wish I could give four and a half stars, because all of the other drinks I ordered from here tastes like happiness! read more

Visit enticed by happy hour: BOGO FRAPS and espresso drinks. Cashier handled my "neediness" well, having to scan app to trigger special plus add funds to account for payment. $11.50 for 3 venti Frappuccinos and 1 Iced Caramel Macchiato is higher than making your own but very reasonable for grabbing a drink out and about, especially at 'bucks (pun intended). Drinks took extra long to be made, especially with no other customers waiting. While daughter and I waited, we noticed the indoor seating area full of dudes playing video games on their laptops. WAN Party night aka singles loitering night. I was a bit perturbed that I wasn't given a drink carrier after purchasing 4 bevs. Anyway, the kids enjoyed their cool coffee treats and I was a caffeine bearing hero Dad, at least for one Summer night. read more

Love the Wards Corner Starbucks. The drive-thru usually has speedy service, especially during the morning rush. I've been inside a few times and I will say that they do a good job of upholding the Starbucks standard. I'm usually greeted with friendly service. It's never too busy here as well, so it's a good location to get some work done. I only drink teas and frappuchinos from Starbucks. They're always made correctly. Today, I got the venti white peppermint moch frapp (yes, it's a venti day). And, it was really good - I love anything made with their peppermint syrup and white chocolate. I also get the pumpkin loaf, it's a must for me - year round. read more

Starbucks - The caption says it all - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Ive come in here 2 times now within the past week and not only are the employees off when they speak to me they clearly are off at making their drinks? I asked for a SIMPLE caramel macchiato with whip cream and caramel drizzle on the top and this female decides to put the entire bottle of Caramel inside of my cup? Do you want me to get diabetes? Besides that the whip cream did not even cover the top its so sloppy! Sloppy work, coming from CA you would think because its a slower lifestyle out here with no RUSH they would do better? Trash. read more

I'm sorry but this is the only Starbucks I ever go to where the customer service isn't the best. I don't know if it's because they're short staffed but the staff make it obvious that you are a burden to them. read more

This is not a bad Starbucks especially if you are going inside for your order. I specifically said going inside because the drive thru is ridiculous. Almost every morning there are vehicles lined up at the drive thru that go out and block the road. It is actually quicker to just park and go inside because this area has limited parking. Staff is nice and helpful and do their best to get orders out. I have never had an issue with waiting but I believe the people who do complain are the ones coming to the drive thru. I will say that if you are ordering from your app make sure it is for this Starbucks. There is another location not too far away and your app will at times default to that one when making mobile orders. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Came in today stood at the counter. No one even acknowledged that I was there. Save time and frustration go anywhere else. read more

The workers are extremely unprofessional. When I entered the busy i waited awhile before someone was willing to take my order. Customer Service needs some improvement at this location. It would be nice for them to greet their customers or at least acknowledge them when they enter the establishment. read more

I am livid rn. They gave me a grande instead of a venti like I ordered so I said I am so sorry this is supposed to be a venti and she just said no it's a grande and I said no it's not. So she proceeded to remake it and gave it to me. So I went home and when it finally cooled down I tried it and it tastes like sink water. I am so pissed. Never using the location again. read more

They r extremely slow even if they are not busy. They look busy inside but not it's a empty busy. Overall don't come here if you are in a hurry. read more

Seriously the slowest. I've come to this starbucks four times this week and it's Thursday, each time I have waited in line 15+ minutes to not getting anything because of the incredibly slow service. As of right now I'm at 13 minutes and the line has not moved I'm still 9th in line. Extremely poor time management. read more

Rudest staff for a Starbucks I've ever encountered, not because they were overworked or stressed, but straight-up rude. Kid at window actually had the nerve to insult my car and laugh. Go for my iced coffee almost daily, will not visit this location again. Management needs to address the young man working the window around 15:15 on 10/14/20. Straight up insulting. read more

This is my drive thru spot in between all the morning school drop offs. The weekday drive thru crew here are so awesome! Whether I order thru the app or the drive thru my order is always perfect and the customer service I receive is happy and on point. I love coffee so my order is always tweaked to exactly how I want it and these baristas give me the perfect hand crafted drink each time. Their add on game is strong, I am frequently asked if I'd like to add a pastry or try the current specialty drink. By far my favorite Starbucks in Norfolk! read more

Has to be the kindest employees I've met at a Starbucks before. I'm usually in early around 5:30, so I expect most people to be moody but never here! read more

I love this Starbucks! The workers are always so sweet and despite always being busy they get your order out quickly. I've never had my order wrong here either and I go far too often haha. read more

Nice Starbucks with convenient parking. Very friendly staff. Fresh pastries, right out of the plastic bag.

So, I wasn't sure if I could give this place 5 stars, even if my drinks and the timeliness were perfect- well, turns out they earned it! My husband's birthday is today (27!) and he asked if he needed the Starbucks card in order to get the free birthday drink... They said yes, unfortunately- but as we pulled up to the window, they changed their tune. The cashier was like, hey birthday boy! We'll give you that drink free anyway. That was awesome! In the past, I've had overall good experiences at this one as well. As long as it's not rush hour you're given fast accurate service, and the staff is very polite overall. I got a flat white, and I do have to say it's one of the better ones I've had at a Starbucks. In Australia these things are like liquid paradise to me, so they definitely don't have Aussiland beat (and I'm still looking for a place in America that does). Still good though. read more

Cam was so nice and helpful!! She even recommend a new drink to dry based on what I ordered! Thank you!

Why is this the slowest Starbucks in existence?!? They are usually very nice and the drinks are standard, but why are they soooo consistently slow?! Please hire a decent manager to sort it all out! read more

I order a Venti Chai Latte with extra chai and two pumps of brown sugar and she gave me a grande so I said I am so sorry I ordered a venti and she said no you didn't and I said yes I did. now I'm home with my drink and it tastes like she just poured sink water in a cup.. read more

This location is fairly new, in a shopping center that was built about a year ago. It is very convenient because it's the only Starbucks in the area that has a drive-thru, but other than that, it's almost like any other Starbucks. I do have to say that the service is a hit or miss. Some of the baristas I've encountered are friendly and extremely helpful, while others are....not as friendly and make it apparent that they do not want to be there. Hopefully when you go you'll experience the friendly baristas! And of course, if you don't feel like getting out of the car, just use the drive-thru! I do it, too! read more

This Starbucks gives great service but the quality of the drinks, i should have given 1/5 stars. I asked for light ice and they fill the venti cup with all ice as if I'm getting a tall drink in a venti cup. On top of that, a quarter of my drink is filled with foam. I let it pass the other few times but this constantly happens. Very disappointed with this Starbucks. I recommend training for the baristas. -Former Starbucks Barista read more

Starbucks - Venti iced green tea latte with soy, or should I say tall extra ice green tea latte in a venti cup with foam. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

This might be the slowest Starbucks on Earth. Really sucks because it's the closest one to my work.

This is a good location for me, except for the service! Order from here 4 times and every time they are either out of something or no longer make it! To make things every worst, they mess up my order almost every time! I can't have dairy products and I tell them upon ordering, that I'm lactose and can't have any dairy! Today will be my last visit to this location, I thought I didn't have any dairy products and consumed half of my pumpkin spice latte only to find out that it was made with dairy products! While my allergy is sometimes just a stomach ache, today my lips swelled which could of easy sent me to the emergency room! Not to mention the wasted time and money I spent stopping here! read more

this is my go to starbucks, but recently going there in the morning ive encountered a new worker, a girl with brown hair and weird pink flower tattoos on her arm, she is rude and inconsiderate of the costumers satisfaction. she's in too much of a rush so she doesn't make sure that her costumers get what they asked for. when they make your drink wrong she tries to tell you that its right, but that you just cant tell. read more

Horrible customer service ! Ordered through the my phone 10 mins ahead , i got there and wait for another 15 mins ! I asked the barista and she said they just got my order after 10 mins i got in the store ! Everyone order directly and drive through order has already done but not me for 30 mins total waist my time. I end up late for work and she only said sorry but not too nice to me ! Ridiculous! Never come back ! read more

They have CLOVER (Reserve Coffee) here. That automatically gives them 5 stars but of course there are other items that add to the experience. The workers were nice and attentive. The store was clean and well organized. There was plenty of seating both indoors and out. They have free wifi (I know .. all starbucks do but it's just an added pro). Lastly, they have reserve coffee (duh). So you know when you finally get that 12th star and then you get the free coffee/food/drink item from Starbucks as a THANK YOU for drinking/eating so much of our product? That's when you order the reserve coffee. Though they appear to be out of most of them they did have one that I can't remember the name of but it was from Mexico. They grind the beans in front of you and then they use their Clover machine to brew you a FRESH cup of coffee! It was smooth. If that's not reason enough for a 5 star review then I have no idea what else to say to you. It's pretty awesome. That grande cup of freshly ground freshly brewed coffee was worth having to deal with regular pikes place those other 12 times. HAHA. Just kidding. I like Pike's too. But I like the reserve coffee even more. read more

I like that there is a new location near by work and in the developing area of Wards Corner. Nothing special about this location but it does look nice and they actually have a drive up as well. Trying one of there new arrivals, a dark walnut roast and I am really enjoying it as well. read more
