Prompt, friendly service. I mostly do mobile ordering here though. Convenient location with a few parking spots in a lot - unusual for the city! There is also some outdoor seating along Shady Ave. read more

Staff here are nice, but based on few visits , the men's bathroom is always occupied by old fart boomers who eat Chinese next door then come to empty their tanks at starbucks. Once I had to wait an hour for 4 boomers one by one bombing the men's restroom with their diarrhea while the women's restroom remained vacant all that time because this is one of the locations that still separate per gender or they are too lazy to change the bathroom signs. How about add a sign to limit bathroom use to 5 minutes? This isn't your daughter's or grandkids house on thanksgiving you inept thankless boomers! read more

Awesome location! I've been coming here for a couple of months now, and these guys have always taken good care of me. It's cozy, and the baristas are always pleasant. The only thing that irks me is that the tables are usually a bit dirty and the floors could use a little sweeping. Other than that, I'm always impressed how well these guys resolve any issues that come up, though they usually get everything right and ready on the first attempt. They're great, and I'll be definitely back! read more

Starbucks - Exterior - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I usually don't do reviews on chain restaurants too frequently, but my girlfriend and I stopped in for a cup of coffee after lunch yesterday and had a wonderful experience! The lady working the register was so kind to us, and was explaining drinks that she really enjoys to my girlfriend since she always likes to switch it up. The inside of the Starbucks was very clean and had a nice modern look to it. It was really busy on a Sunday afternoon as a lot of college students enjoy sitting in there to get some work done while enjoying a cup of coffee and a pastry. Even though it was crowded, our coffees came out very quickly and were delicious! I got an americano (my go-to coffee drink) and my girl friend got an iced caramel macchiato with brown sugar and an extra shot of espresso (as the cashier recommended). It was delicious! A little sweet for my taste, but my girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed it and that's what matters most! read more

Big Starbucks with lots of seating. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Being from New York you can not even think about how much nicer people are out of New York. The baristas here bring a new meaning for me to friendly and nice. Totally amazing service and drinks made perfectly. I will definitely be back for more. read more

Why is the Starbucks service getting worse and worse? The baristas' attitudes...laughing and giggling without noticing the customers' request. Disappointed. read more

I've been to this Starbucks multiple times before but most recently came to get some work done. I only came here because the independent coffee shops on Forbes were full, but this ended up being the perfect spot. I was able to find the end of the table near the window. Although the noise level rose consistently, it didn't matter that much because I had earbuds in. A great mixture of people filled the shop from local meetups, students studying, and a leasing meeting occurring right next to me. I do recommend taking the bus if you don't plan on getting here super early. The lot is pretty small and fills up quickly. Street parking on Forbes cm be difficult at any part of the day. read more

The service at this particular Starbucks is by far the best in the city. When the baristas ask your name and you tell them it's spelled with a K, they get it. Unlike other places where my name comes back as Karl or Karly. Lemonade and pumpkin drinks are never a let down. read more

Starbucks - Peach lemons and iced pumpkin latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I love this Starbucks! The employees are super nice and friendly. They are also efficient and I never have to wait long for my order. In the rare case where my order is incorrect, I get a replacement no problem. read more

My favorite starbucks by me. Their morning crew is phenomenal. I order a chai tea latte with soy and they never mess it up. Parking lot can be a bit crazy in the morning but if its full I park on Shady. The only thing missing from this starbucks is a drive thru...which is impossible because of the location. read more

Here to work in the breeze, wifi, and drink my orange mango smoothy! Most of the time you will never find me at a coffee shop, yeah I'm a freak of nature that doesn't drink coffee. I love the way it tastes, and smells, in Europe I always was drinking latte macchiatto's. The caffeine just makes my heart beat really fast and I get all weird! I'm the person who jumps awake in the morning with an internal alarm. So I get my energy kicks from fresh squeezed juice and uber H20 with lemon consumption. I do love the feeling of sitting in coffee shops and getting to work! Today is the finest day since spring hit! Balmy, sunny, warming, and I can't get enough so here I sit on Forbes ave enjoying the simplicity of the day and the happiness I'm feeling for the little things. The people are so nice inside too! The place is filled with regulars and everyone is carrying on conversations like they've known each other forever. Plus there is more seating here in squirrel hill than over near Forbes on the strip, not as much people watching but I like this street next to Fanatics. I drive by here all the time and can see the allure. I think Sex and the City said that people who write at coffee houses need to be seen to write. I think it's just a change of scenery! My smoothy is very good, I'm relaxing, and when I asked if the fruit was really fruit the barista explained that it was made from puree with grape juice added. Good enough, and I know I won't be getting looks to leave from the way everyone is camped out in their chairs with computers and large books. It is a bit loud from the traffic and loud music blasts from the cars passing by, a bit distracting. They do have large umbrellas though so your screen is not so hard to see. The older lady that was sitting next to me just left and said "Have a nice day honey" Coolio, I like it here and maybe I'll come out to write more often! read more

This is Starbucks, but here are the specifics on this locations... Good: - really friendly employees - the couch and 2 leather chairs are quite comfortable, if you can get them - clean restroom - a few outside tables - downtown Squirrel Hill location! - free wifi (as with all Starbucks) Bad: - a parking lot so small that it requires a guy to stand there and make sure people park in actual spots and not block things -- good luck getting a spot - super small--almost no seating and most are hard wooden chairs read more

Worst. Starbucks. Ever. I have never once been able to find parking here and there is never anywhere to sit....despite the time of day! (I have tested this theory by going at random times, like 1038am and 319pm- no dice). I have left feeling angry and dejected, which is NOT what coffee is supposed to do!!!! read more

I visit this location maybe 2 or 3 times a month since it's near my office. I've always had friendly service and my drinks have always been consistent. I'm a big fan of the Tazo seasonal Joy tea and I always stock up during the holidays, and a around Thanksgiving I had asked a barista if they had it yet but she said it would be a couple more weeks. When it was in stock i went in and bought several tins. Well I went in today and the barista saw me and said "Hey, did you see we have Joy tea over there?" I was super impressed that she had remembered I like the Joy tea just from the couple times I had been in over the past couple months. Plus I hadn't seen the Joy tea so I got to get a couple extra tins! Now that is great service. Downside: Parking is a bitch at this location, you nearly always have to park in the Shady/Forbes public lot the next block over which isn't very convenient if you want to run in and out. read more

This Starbucks is in the worst possible spot in the city. Very small parking lot, shared with other businesses. Fine if you live within walking distance. Other than that, basic Starbucks, great mixture of college crowd regulars, and long time residences. read more

Went here yesterday for the free house blend on offer. Great design for a Starbucks. And I have found the place where all the older middle class people in Squirrel Hill go for coffee. Which was not necessarily a plus, especially the uptight ladies coffee clatch I sat near. Can't see myself going here again, unless something else free was on offer. Many other coffee shops in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood, so why go where the coffee (and crowd) are in the vanilla range. If, however, I were at home in the D.C. suburbs, I would go here all the time. But only because there is no place better there. They have a tiny parking lot but it's always intimidatingly full. I parked for free on the street around the corner and walked. Staff was very friendly and courteous here. read more

I evidently have a Starbucks problem, but I dig this location. For starters, it's really conveniently located right near all of the Squirrel Hill shops right off of Forbes. The service there is always quick and friendly. Also, I love the music in there. I have Shazam running often on my cell phone while studying. The seating is also particularly nice. Tons of natural light and windows. I especially love the tables by the side door next to the windows if I'm able to get it on time. I'm really able to get into a study groove here. The worst part about this location, however, is the parking situation. The lot is small and people are constantly duking it out for spots. It can be sort of crazy if you hit it at a busy hour. Other than that, though, I really like this location. read more

Perhaps I was being just a bit unfair in my review of--wow--five years ago. On its own merits, this Starbucks is a pretty nice place. Oh sure, parking is a bit limited and seating is a bit tight. But I was meeting my mom here before heading over to the Manor for a movie. Because we both walked here at a non-busy time, the parking and seating weren't issues. Overall I'd give this Starbucks a 3.5 star rating. read more

This is the friendliest Starbucks I have ever been too. They made me feel like my order was the best decision I have ever made in my life. Lots of energy with every customer. Nice and rare read more

Well, it's a Starbucks, but if I had to pick a Starbucks in the city, this is the one. Even though I seem to get different staff every time I pop in here, they're all consistently very nice, and very good at barista-ing. I had a serious addiction to these green tea lemonade drinks made by an independent coffee shop in Burbank back when I lived in LA, and this Starbucks is the only one who has ever matched the flavor. They make a wicked good unsweetened iced green tea lemonade that is the perfect thirst-quencher on a hot day. (I swear, I keep ordering it at different Starbucks locations, but this is the only one who gets the blend right!) As others have mentioned, the parking lot is questionable at best, but this location is walking distance from my house, so I can't complain. They've also got a small seating area outside on the Shady Ave side of the building. read more

This is a nice Starbucks location: friendly baristas, and it's big enough to sit and stay for a while on the cushy chairs. Only drawback of this location is the limited parking. read more

My friends and I came here in the morning. Everything was great! I love the seating areas and the location because it was extremely close to my hotel and the cathedral where I needed to be. The coffee was terrific! I am very satisfied! read more

Starbucks - I had a blueberry muffin with a peppermint mocha. I was in love with the muffin, especially since it was warmed up. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Typical run of the mill Starbucks. Consistent drinks, decent service, typical interior.

The parking situation is particularly atrocious at this location. If you're not lucky enough to find nearby street parking, you may be walking quite a few blocks. Despite the horrible parking, the baristas are friendly, and there is usually a seat or two available during the day. I usually tend to stop in to this location in the summer when I'm out walking, and I always get a venti iced passion tea lemonade with two pumps of raspberry syrup. read more

Need to figure out a way to take orders correctly in-house. Gotten consistently the wrong thing. Giving up and going elsewhere.

The only reason I'm giving this location a 4 star is for parking. While not their total fault, it sucks. Service as always, excellent. Starbucks does training right. read more

Nice place. Could be cleaner. Staff friendly to People not to friendly to other staff people. Just an observation read more

This Starbucks by far has to be my favorite one in the area. Everyone is so nice - I've never had a bad experience in this place. And trust me, I've met a few stuck-up baristas throughout the years. But most importantly, they always get your drinks right and perfect every time! The only complaint I have is the parking lot can get crazy packed in the morning since everyone is coming in! Other than that, this is my go-to spot! read more

Bad parking and worse lines, this Starbucks is no place to be if you have an appointment to go to. That said, if you have some time to kill, this is a good spot. Good view and better people watching, this spot is great if you come on an early Sunday to read the paper. read more

Starbucks - Bella approved. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A reliable Starbucks experience. They have a Clover machine for single-cup specialty brews. Limited off-street parking, a few sidewalk tables. read more

Stopped in here to take a piss on my way to Commonplace Coffeehouse. Bathrooms were clean!!

This is my go-to starbucks for "getting work done". The staff always has a smile, and more importantly (for me) there is almost always an outlet by a table available near the back wall. read more

I started drinking coffee three years ago. Before that, I preferred Diet Coke, or Pepsi; mostly for the caffeine. I start my day at 5am, so the pick-me-up is necessary, and I would usually grab my first diet soda around 9am. During the weekends I would find myself working a lot, with seldom fun outings with friends or family. You see, I'm one of those people afflicted with an overly-strong work ethic; some call it being a "work-a-holic." It was suggested by a family member that I take some time for myself; "Grab your newspaper, and find a nice coffee shop to sit and relax for a while," I was told. Mt first weekend out, I decided to try Starbucks, on Forbes and Shady in Squirrel Hill. The parking lot was full, so I parked down the street a bit; it was, after all, a nice day for a walk. I approached the counter and asked for a Venti regular coffee. I received my brew, and found a seat near the window. As I took my first sip, I was surprised- this stuff was strong, not like the coffee I had experienced at work, or other small coffee shops around town. I finished my large drink, and was happy to have completed my first session of "mandated" relaxation. In the weeks that followed, I found myself enjoying my Saturday and Sunday outings to Starbucks. I began to get to know the baristas, and some of the patrons. My new friends and I would sit with our papers, pretend to read the daily news, and talk to each other as we sat with our coffees, mochas and other specialty drinks. As I began to get to know the employees better, they started educating me about Starbuck's special beans. They used words like acidity, aroma, balance, body, clean, complexity, wild, earthy, and natural. I was even told that Bean Masters could tell which region the beans came from, much like master sommeliers can tell by taste where particular wine grapes originate; I had no idea coffee was so complicated. I continue to get coffee at Starbucks on the weekends. Sometimes I tell myself that I like frequenting the coffee shop because it's fun to see my new friends and relax, but I have a feeling it's the highly addictive, aromatic, and consistently great coffee that keeps me coming back. read more

I love Starbucks, but this one has terrible parking and a small sitting room. The parking lot has like 6 spots...and no street parking!

This is a nice Starbucks location right in the heart of Squirrel Hill. Be aware that the parking lot can be fairly competitive and is actually patrolled by a security guard to make sure you are in fact patronizing one of the businesses connected to the lot. While this location has a few really good tables for working, it has two large doors so it can get pretty cold with heavy foot traffic - dress warmly during the winter if you plan on sitting here with your latte! read more

Not my favorite coffee chain by any means. Is it just me or do all Starbuck coffees taste burnt and bitter? No matter how trendy, cool and upscale their establishments are I can't get around the yicky tasting bitterness of Staryucks regular coffees. Talk about over roasting a bean...Maybe something has changed with their regular coffee but I have not drank it in about a year. And I am not one for soy caramel latte foofy stuff but I am sure with all the sugar in those types of drinks they are delicious but go to a cash machine first ($$). Still I'll give the establishment tres estrellas (star in espanol) for the fact that their espresso is acceptable and doesn't taste half as bad as the regular coffee bean. read more

This particular location has a bit of a bipolar staff. Some days you get the nicest baristas, who take time and make suggestions, which make me want to come back! Other times, you are just left with the hope you have caught someone on a really bad day. I just hope my visits start to lean toward the better days! read more

This is my favorite Starbucks in Pittsburgh. Very busy, but efficiently run and a training site for managers. What makes this one special is the interesting clientele. Several morning cliques unafraid to banter with the customers. Busy business people, educators, health professionals ... Student, A nice cross section of Pittsburgh. Convenient location to universities, hospitals, and out to suburbs. Gets race crowds for Great Race, Race for the Cure etc. Fun place to drink coffee. read more

Love this Starbucks. Very clean. Their the only one ive seen that sells the Verismo brewer (pretty much like a Starbucks Kuerig) The staff is nice and they give you recommendations. Once i got a flat white and the guy was like "great choice man, I get that all the time." read more
