The Sunrise & Waverly, Patchogue, NY Starbucks. Located in the Petco and Aldi-anchored shopping center, this is a unique Starbucks that has been retrofitted into a former Long John Silvers. Back in the 1980s, Long John Silvers operated in buildings that looked like a fishing house. When Starbucks took over the building they kept the seaside architecture. When my Dad and I visited on October 22, 2024; it was my third visit to a New York Starbucks since joining Yelp in February 2011. My visit here overflowed with nostoligia that dates back to visiting this shopping center when my Dad moved to Holtsville in 1983 and the adjacent Gateway Plaza was a forest. Spending time in this seaside house on the shore of a sea of parking spaces, the nostalgic wace swept across my mind bringing back memories of visiting this shopping center in the 1980s when we shopped in King Kullen (now across the expressway), Genovese, and the stationary store; dined in Mama's Pizza, a bagel shop, and Arby's, and opened my first bank account a few feet away from Starbucks. In addition to nostoligia, it is convenient. It is close to the Holtsville Ecology Park, where we spent a lot of time. Stepping inside the seaside building Starbucks, it was stepping into a public living room. The Starbucks experience of a third place is the focus. There is no drive thru. When I walked towards the counter, I saw sufficient tables and chairs. Starbucks fans occupied the seats. Being a beautiful October afternoon in the heart of Indian Summer, my Dad and I decided on drinking our beverages outside in the courtyard. This is a cozy courtyard tucked between two pad buildings with sufficient seating. This was a nice spot to chat with my dad while perking up with Starbucks. Speaking of the beverages, when I paid the friendly batista, I saw that the $2.88 tall coffee price is identical to the price that I pay in Las Vegas. This review will be the perfect time to compare Starbucks coffee to Folgers coffee. When I visited my Dad for nine days, my Starbucks and energy drink beverages took a nosedive. In the morning we'd have Folgers coffee. When I drank this Starbucks coffee after a few days of Folgers and one time I had diner coffee; the Starbucks coffee hit me like a wave. After drinking it I felt very perked up. This was without a refill. This is evidence that Starbucks serves genuine coffee. If it were up to me, I would have been drinking Starbucks coffee everyday during the nine days I spent on Long Island with my Dad. My Dad isn't really a Starbucks fan. However, he said that this is one of the nicer ones he's been to. Your's Truly, being a Starbucks fan was also impressed with the Sunrise & Waverly Starbucks. After leaving this seaside inspired building to the sea of parking spaces, it looked like we could return to this unique Starbucks in the future which is not so near considering that I now live in Las Vegas. read more

I ordered 1 thing. an iced brown sugar shaken espresso. It did not have brown sugar syrup. My entire day is ruined. For a $7 drink this made me broke AND sad. Unacceptable. read more

Starbucks - Iced oatmilk brown sugar shaken espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Patchogue, New York

Easily located off of Exit 52W, this Starbucks is a favorite of mine. The employees here have consistently provided me outstanding service in the decade I have been patronizing this establishment. Everybody knows my name and how I want my favorite drinks and foods prepared. For example, the baristas know that all orders must come with a venti cup of water. I don't even have to ask for it. Another example: Today I had the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. Barista Alex knew to put the leftover cream in a cup for me. The music is hip--from 70s to present. Also, there is WiFi. I am sure to secure my data from hackers with a VPN. The place is comfortably cool all year long. It serves as a good cooling center in the hot and humid summer months. Lastly, all employees adhere to Covid-19 protocols by making sure standing patrons wear masks. I certainly recommend this Starbucks to everybody who wants a cup of coffee while in Patchogue. read more

One of the best Starbucks locations in the area. Even though there is no drive-thru the curbside pick up makes up for it. With sleeping babies in the car, swinging by to do a curbside order is a breeze. The wait time is usually pretty accurate and my drinks have consistently been crafted perfectly. Skip the long lines at the surrounding locations and try this one instead. You won't be disappointed. read more

Love this location. The employees are super nice. Service is quick and the space is clean. read more

Starbucks - God morning! Teacher Christmas gift cards for months! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Patchogue, New York

You can go in and have one person online in front of you and although they offer great customer service when I'm standing online and the person in front of me is the only person in front of me and they are talking for eight minutes and I have somewhere to go it's a problem. I don't know if it's only staff or things changed since they renovated but it's not like it used to be to come here. Wait time is always past pickup time. read more

The Best Starbucks on the island! coffee, lattes, frappuccinos, any coffee drink is always consisteny made delicious! I been to many Starbucks on Long Island and they are so different, watery, milky, too sweet, no drizzles.. but this Starbucks has all the goodies in the drink that is supposed to come with that order. if I'm ever in the area I always stop here for coffee. read more

Forgot all about writing this review. I always liked this Starbucks. Always got fast friendly service and never got a drink made wrong. The baristas are great and the location is great. If you are in the area and need a coffee fix definitely stop here read more

If you're looking for a place to work, this place is alright. There are 5 tables that have seating, and outlets for all tables. This Starbucks is quite busy so there's a lot of food traffic, but if you just need to actually do some heads down work it's not bad. If you need to take meetings, then it might be a bit rowdy but not terrible. Employees are super nice and don't bother you if you're working there for a bit. There's also a parking lot, bathroom, and good wifi. read more

This is probably one of the better Starbucks that I know of on the South Shore in Suffolk out by my neck of the woods. Yes it's kinda on the small side and it gets super crowded but that's ok. I've never had a lousy beverage here. Whether it be coffee or tea or a frap. It's consistent. Today was exceptionally busy but I remembered that two things probably factored into this. The Suffolk County South Shore Marathon and the fact that it was the day before Halloween and it was a GORGEOUS day out. But I've come here and have always received my beverage with a smile. Today I can also happily say I made GOLD! I'm officially a GOLD star member of Starbucks. I think that might mean I have a caffeine addiction but that's ok. A little zoot never hurt anybody right? So of course I'll be back. Hell yeah! This Starbucks far exceeds the one across the street from MacArthur Airport on Vets. That Starbucks is baaaaad. Haha. read more

First time at this Starbucks. Very quaint right off Sunrise Highway in Waverly Plaza. There is seating outside and inside. Looks very inviting, like you're in the country out here compared to where I live. When I arrived I waited on line for about a minute, then Carol behind the counter gave me a warm greeting, asked me my order and was very efficient! She also knew all the regulars. Made me feel very welcomed. It looks like you can either order and go or just hang. Definitely will come back if I'm in the area again. read more

I've been going to this location for years, and am truly a "regular" (they all know me by name). Manny, Zach, Nick, Gina... everyone is so friendly and helpful. Like all Starbucks they have their busy times of the day. I think they do a pretty good job of getting customers in and out as quickly as possible, especially when the line is out the door. Are they perfect? Of course not, but it's one of the better Starbucks around the area, in my opinion. Also, while I don't have an issue anymore, for over a year I had a health issue and it was important my drinks were non-fat and they never made me feel stupid for double checking with them that it had been made right. Really, just thumbs up all around. read more

Friendly!!! Always gets my order right. I live close by so it's easy for me to stop in here all the time. And I love the atmosphere. This is a full-size stand-alone Starbucks and is a good place to hang out if weather is bad. It's also kept clean, like most Starbucks. My favorite is café vanilla frappeccino with a pump of Caramell. 1/29/18 not as happy as I used to be with this location. Too crowded all the time and the newer staff not as friendly or efficient. Long waits for order even if ordered beforehand. read more

Staff was cold and standoffish. I waited over 10 minutes for a coffee while my breakfast got cold. Prioritizes orders for people who aren't even there. Their service area was unclean as well. I will not be back, extremely dissatisfied with the service I recieved. read more

I have no problem with this Starbucks.... friendly service, good drink options but can get very busy if you get there at wrong time.. can't give it 5 stars bc it's a franchise... just my own philosophy!!! read more

This spot is always packed so it takes a while to order and leave, but honestly I do everything on the app now and avoid all social interaction just like a white girl millennial should. No drive through so that kinda sucks, but haiii 6 pump chai mocha choka latte frap read more

This is a solid Starbucks location. It is in a central area though right off Sunrise Highway and Waverly Ave so I recommend preordering from the app if you have it to reduce the wait time. The staff is always friendly and it's a good small space to hang out if it's not too busy and you can get a seat. read more

My friend and I go to St.Josephs college and come here almost everyday in between our classes. Normally the baristas are great, but today was not good at all. I heard the baristas complaining about making my iced white mocha because I wanted sweet cream and cold foam, which for some reason was such a feat for them. Then to make matters worse, my friend found a hair in her coffee closed between the lid and the cup and floating into her drink. She drank almost the whole thing and when we discovered it we were absolutely appalled. Very very disappointed. read more

This Starbucks really took me by surprise. I have to admit I really did "judge a book by its cover" this Starbucks does not look like your typical Starbucks and it definitely has some ware and tear. But when I walked in it was so cute and cozy. It was very spacious and it looked really nice inside. They really do need to update/repair their menu boards because they're very old and slanted. The tables were fairly clean the could use more care but the floor looked great and overall it was very clean. The staff greeted me with a smile and they were all super sweet. I also really appreciate the pride flag that was up. My bfs coffee was made very well and we are happy with our visit. Definitely check them out because the inside is adorable and the staff is great! read more

Amazing service and support all COVID-19 health regulations and clean. Also, they do carry out which is a plus just drive up to the carry out sign parking spot and they bring all your Starbucks products to you which is a great bonus you could find the information on the Starbucks app on your phone you choose to either pick up inside or have carry out. read more

In my opinion, this is the perfect Starbucks. I've been going since I got a job on sunrise Hwy. This store is right off sunrise so it's the perfect location for me to quickly stop. I order ahead on the app and it's ALWAYS ready when I get there in 10 min no matter how busy it is. The outside of the store looks really cute. I like that it doesn't have a drive thru, I like being forced to go in. I've gone so many times, and I have never met a rude barista. When I worked for the company, the store would get busy and customers get rude and therefore baristas get annoyed. However, everyone here is very nice and friendly. Also, one of the baristas prints out riddles for customers to solve, which I think is so cute. This Starbucks makes my morning a thousand times better. read more

The best Starbucks on the whole of Long Island. The coffee is always hot and the other drinks are made well.

I'm not mad because this place is the best and handles it's rush hour traffic like champs! But every day for like the past week it has said you are out of caramel macchiatos in the app...I'm getting concerned because now I'm on like day 5 of Dunkin', and they say it only takes 14 days to create a new habit. Add caramel to the list of quarantine shortages, lol read more

The baristas at this location are very personable, and treat their customers well. Drink orders are consistently made properly. The occasional mistake is fixed without question. The only reason they are losing a single star is because they are very slow when it comes to mobile orders. There is always a lot of mobile order receipts on the counter and it takes them a long time to get through them all. read more

Its a Starbucks, they are pretty much seem all the same to me. This location I found to be very clean and the staff extremely nice. They have a decent seating area, though not as big as some of the other Starbucks I have been too. Service was fast, even when there was around 5-7 people in the line. This location is very convenient if you are driving on sunrise. read more

was interested in a hot cup of joe before seeing a film at the nearby picture house. Hot damn. this coffee shop is exactly what i was looking for. open until 10pm for people like me who need a caffeine boost on a friday night. read more

Every employee is so nice and such hard workers. James was so nice to help me when I forgot to take one of my drinks. I came back and he made me a new one and was so friendly about it. This is the nicest Starbucks I know. read more

The staff here is incredibly friendly, but I do have to admit that the speed of service is lackluster. My drinks is always right, and the manager remembered my order and name after one visit. One visit! That's bananas. I still frequent this location when I'm on Long Island, and I probably won't stop. Going there during a peak hour, however, is not on my to-do list. read more

I agree with Amanda's comment, not the friendliest staff. Two other negatives, 1. they keep the AC very cold, sometimes too cold. 2. in order to save a little bit of money they do not offer catchup for their breakfast sandwiches anymore. Come on. Are you kidding me? How else am I going gross out some friends when I put catchup on my egg sandwich? read more

This starbucks is awesome. They have a small drive thru on both sides so the line goes very quick. They service is always good and fast. You never really have to wait on line for more then 5 minutes. The employees are very nice and always do a great job making your coffee! read more

Thank god for these lovely souls. Their mobile order process is seamless and every morning even during rush hour, my coffee is there waiting for me. I wish I knew their names but the blonde girl who works mornings and the Jay Pharaoh look alike on weekends need a raise!!! read more

It would be nice if the milk was filled once in awhile. I realize it's gets busy, last few times I had to make the baristas aware the milk was empty!! read more

I think the service is remarkably slow. But honestly, I lived in the city for a while so I'm used to Starbucks staff moving extremely fast to keep up with the volume of NYC Starbucks lovers. So when I come into this place & the line is long I notice the staff still moves really slow. That brings it down a star. But despite the staff being slow, they are always very friendly & greet you & talk politely. It's a relaxing atmosphere, good location & clean. I really like to come here. read more
