Better than average Starbucks location, very inviting. The staff were really nice, and the summer refresher drink I got was cold and tasted quite good for a chain location. It's very obvious that this location was made to be a social/hangout spot. The interior was nice and clean, and there was a large variety of places to sit. There were: * Small circular tables * Individual seats (no table) * Large table (the type you would see in a business conference room) Not only that, but they also had board games that you could play there. read more

There is a reason this company is having a Hard time service is bad folks think they are Actual baristas give me a break. Over price Drinks and service. read more

It's not a bad location and the staff seem nice, just very very slow. It's 70+ degrees outside on a Sunday afternoon, one working counter, one working drive through. You have to add another 20-30 minutes to your trip if you want Starbucks from here. I don't understand why they can't add more staff. read more

I want to give a shoutout to Naomi, who was my barista this morning! She has a great attitude, very optimistic and as a customer, I really value and appreciate a positive interaction with my barista. She was very helpful. I always have a good experience at this location! The service is great, orders are always accurate and even when there is a long line, it is quick moving. read more

There was a fly in my drink i am so disappointed and i always ask for cold foam and there isn't any everytime in my order the accuracy in your orders is at level 0! read more

Starbucks - Ordered through doordash and there was a fly in my drink not enough cold foam as well it's like you guys don't even wanna do one simple job? - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portage, Michigan

A brand new Starbucks on South Westnedge. Ave. Good to see this store make its way around town with an additional location. The store is set up for much like others and product is consistent as always. Portage Starbucks fans have a new place to go to enjoy all of their Starbucks favorites! read more

I ordered in the app at 2:44 PM on Saturday and I sat in the drive-through for a good I don't know it's 3:20 PM now and I pulled up to the window and they try to hand me the wrong drink when I showed it to her and it's on the receipt inside the store so I'll never be coming here again they obviously can't handle that many orders all I ordered was a Trenta pink drink and they try to hand me a coffee drink. Ridiculous. It's been almost a damn hour!! I'll never come to this location again. NEVER! Don't come here . They can't get their shit straight !!! I'll stick to Battle Creek!! read more

Always love my Venti iced white mocha! Thee best drink ever made! I love their lemon loaf too! No matter what Starbucks I stp at, there is consistency in their beverages, which is one of thr many things I love about Starbucks! Thank you for not thinking the "white mocha" should be a seasonal drink only like a Canadian-based coffee place argues. Every type of coffee should be every day (except pumpkin spice--now that should stay seasonally special) the baristas are always friendly and courteous. Love my Starbucks iced white mocha! No matter what time of day or the season--iced white is for me! read more

Not gonna lie, I was a little nervous upon arrival at this location. I arrived at 3:40pm to pick up my online order (tried to avoid a line), but the drive thru line wrapped alllllll around the building. I took a deep breath and prepared to hurry up and wait. But, Starbucks has it figured out pretty well. The line went quicker than expected. Before too long, I was happily (or maybe one would say "merrily") sipping my peppermint mocha with an extra shot. Good job, Starbucks. The line was understandable (a Saturday afternoon during busy Christmas shopping season), and it was worth the wait. read more

I visited this location on Monday July 10th, as I walked in I saw a acquaintance/friend of mine who works there and she came out and gave me quick hug and ran back to the register and tried to take my order. I was the only person in line inside but I know they were busy bc of the drive thru BUT still I am a costumer. She was asking me what I would like when we were RUDELY interrupted by the shift leader Eric who told her " no no no you're making drinks, I'll get her in just a moment." Not only was I put in a uncomfortable and embarrassing situation, it really was just plain rude and poor customer service. I'm not sure what else he said but I heard him say something along the lines of "...work first." Which made no sense since I am a paying customer. I also work in costumer service and my manager would never. I was so embarrassed for my friend as well. I hope this changes. read more

This Starbucks has been open for nearly a year and I didn't even know! Granted, I'm only in Michigan once every 6-8 weeks :) but I always drove way out of the way when there was one here! Anyway, I love the outside- the metal siding is super cute and modern. The inside had TONS of seating and they have a really large patio outside now that it's warming up I'm sure it'll be packed! Lots of parking, clean restrooms, quick service- both in store, order ahead and drive thru. I found my new go-to in the Portage/Kzoo area! read more

I come here often and this next bit is consistent with every visit... I wanted to wait a while to see if it was just a fluke (they ran out of supplies etc) Great service and it is usually always fast, regardless of the length of the line. The ONE thing that bothers me though is they're always handing out our "hot" drinks in the drive-thru without a sleeve or stopper. I get the sustainability and "green" side of it, especially if people just throw the stopper away. But, the hot drinks need a sleeve. Let me decide and decline it. I can clearly see the stack of sleeves and green stoppers in the window of the drive-thru, otherwise I would not even post something like this. It is easy to ask if I would like a sleeve or a stopper. I shouldn't have to constantly ask for it and then feel like I am requesting something out of the norm that they have to go out of their way to get me. .#hotdrinksneedasleeve. read more

Today I ordered online, when I arrived had to wait way to long, they were telling customers it would be a 45 minute wait. But people in the drive thru we're being serviced faster then online order. The story could go on- won't be back Ignoring customers doesn't help either- Not worth it read more

Asked for the tea menu...server wasn't sure where to find it. Asked for Earl Grey...they were out. Asked for milk to put in my tea...they had dairy creamer. Told there was honey on the stand...had to return and ask for packets because there was none. Settled in to drink my tea...server comes to ask me if I returned the tea menu because she can't find it (again). read more

This is the 3rd time i've been to this same location and received condescending remarks for ordering things they are out of. my bad for not knowing? also got laughed at for trying to pay with a $100 bill because i guess i'm just supposed to know that "company policy" as the worker put it. Not mad i can't pay with it but i did have to fight the urge to throw my drink at her for laughing at my for trying to pay for my items. rude team. trash matcha too. read more

This location is so slow, one car is moving every 5 minutes. Idk how an establishment can possibly be this slow. Get some new workers or something. read more

I have been a gold member since 2004. I have never had an experience where I couldn't redeem my free bday drink. I go 2 days after my bday to redeem and was told that you can only redeem on the bday. Barista had my drink in hand. I told her I did not know that. Thats where the bad customer service comes into play; batista threw it away instead of making a loyal customer happy. BTW, I was in line for 25 minutes to be told that. AVOID! read more

This is my favorite Starbucks. The baristas are so friendly and there have been some early mornings where I drive away with a smile on my face because of how nice they are! They take the time to ask how you're doing and don't act like they hate the world like most baristas do at 6 am (I get it, it's early... but you're working customer service!) Sometimes I do a mobile order and they always have it ready for me when I get there. When they are out of food items they are always apologetic and give me other options I can get. It's so awesome to have friendly & patient baristas!! Thank you! read more

30 min. That is how long we waited for one strawberry drink. I totally understand that we are in a pandemic and hiring/staffing is a concern. I guess I just wonder either if you can't handle having a store open and a drive through, maybe don't be open yet. OR..... maybe prior to taking someone's money, let them know if may be 30 min and then the customer can decide if they have time to wait or not. I would love to tell you they were all doing their best, but I did not see any sense of urgency watching them work. Maybe they were just exhausted trying to do a job that clearly needed more people. read more

I was just here and they were super busy but super helpful. The girl running pick up orders was so kind and genuine. Will definitely be back! read more

This location USED TO BE my first choice until a couple of recent experiences. A person who referred to herself as the manager informed me I needed to order extra milk if I wanted an "iced latte" with no ice. I had never heard of such a thing, and I have ordered MANY drinks. After I questioned her, she told me this was a new policy she would be enforcing, but she reluctantly filled the remaining space in my cup with oat milk (which I had already paid extra for!). THEN- the next time I visited, the barista handed me my drink, and it wasn't filled to the top. I asked for more oat milk- (truthfully I had forgotten about my previous experience) and she told me in a very condescending tone that her manager had already told me I couldn't have more oat milk! I was shocked that she even recognized me as I hadn't noticed her on the previous visit. I can't even remember how I responded, but she actually seemed to enjoy refusing to add more milk. I took my drink and left, and will not return to that location- ever! When I'm paying nearly $8 for coffee made w oat milk, extra shot/flavor they are going to harass and refuse to add more milk?? That is crazy to me- anyone who has observed the making of drinks at Starbucks knows how much waste there is; maybe they should start their conservation there! But mostly the complete lack of interest in developing customer loyalty byway of excellent customer service is epidemic and baffling! read more

I have been to this Starbucks before. I had a horrible experience and swore I wouldn't come to this one again. But then today I thought 'Weeell, maybe I shouldn't boycott the establishment based on one experience...' So I went again. I got an online order. I gave them plenty of time so that I wouldn't be unhappy (last time, I ordered an online order 20 minutes ahead of time and when I got there, it wasn't made...) My order was sitting there waiting for me. But I got 2 drinks and I already had a lot of stuff to carry. I wanted a drink carrier. I called out 'Excuse me!' twice then yelled 'Excuse me!' and no one answered. They just ignored me. I looked around and found where they were - it was clear that one of the baristas were supposed to hand those out. But no one was listening so I grabbed one myself; it was a very awkward angle. For that to be avoided in the future, one of two things can be done. 1) LISTEN!!!! 2) If someone orders two or more drinks, PUT THEM IN A CARRIER!!!! This issue of people ignoring me and being relatively rude - that's why I said I wasn't going back. But this Starbucks is 9 minutes from my house and 3 minutes from my work so I gave them another chance. BIG MISTAKE... These people aren't rude in the malicious/mean sort of way; they just have a tendency to ignore people. I love my iced blonde double shot coffee - but I'm not going there to get it... Suffice it to say - if I could give them negative stars, I would (although if all you care about is the coffee and convenience of location but don't give a damn about customer service - suit yourself; this is a Starbucks. Their coffee is the same wherever you go. I care how people treat me; sue me) read more

Service was great, such friendly staff, Merrill was so helpful and nice. Food was great!

I never have super high hopes going to Starbucks. I go because I need coffee and wasn't able to just make it at home. This place was packed when I got there and it only got worse as I waited, but I received quite literally the best latte I've ever had. I will definitely be back at this location, they were exceptional. read more

I frequent this location and they are always busy. Every single barista I have encountered is kind, friendly and personable. They always keep their cool when it's a madhouse and are nothing but genuinely nice and cheerful. read more

Had the BEST experience at this Starbucks location. We were in great need of late night caffeine and our sweet Barista Jessie immediately interceded and recommended the long shots over ice. She was super friendly and cheerfully advised us on all our options including dairy free and flavor options. First time I recall actually feeling joyful after simply ordering coffee! Thanks! read more

This is probably my least favorite Starbucks in the area. Amateurish awkward service.

First time at Starbucks. Michael was my coffee guru this morning and helped me pick the best coffee for my tastes. It was the cold foam salted caramel nitro drink. Very delicious! Was extremely blown away by the great customer service provided by Michael. Based on his cust.service skills alone, I plan on being a future Starbucks customer. Thank you, Michael! read more

Extremely slow and not helpful at all, no one greets you or asks you what you need when you walk in for a mobile order.. just stood there for almost 10 minutes staring at my drink behind the counter and not one employee asked me if I needed anything or what my name was. read more

We frequent Starbucks because they not only have decaf coffee (order a decaf pour over), but they also have heavy whipping cream for lattes. I can also order their sugar free syrups to make a couple of their fancy drinks keto when I'm having a splurge day. I've tried the other big coffee shops in town and no one else has heavy whipping cream. Starbucks even helped my Mom and Dad during their last order by picking up that they were trying to order a keto speciality drink and helped them get the correct syrup. My parents were super impressed that a normal person out in the regular world understood the dietary restrictions of our weird life and she was really happy about it. For the ketoers out there a latte with heavy whipping cream packs a caloric punch, but it also will keep you full for hours. My Dad likes his with sugar free vanilla syrup. Their plain decaf pour over with a splash of HWC is my go to beverage. read more

Was so happy when this location opened but drive they service stinks. Waited almost 10 min from the time I paid at the window until I got my order and it was incomplete and wrong. Left without my macchiatos - was taking way too long - didn't think it would take more than 10 min for 2 drinks when I was the first car on line at the drive thru. Will go to the other location from now on. Nice ladies behind the window but they seemed more interested in stocking the refrigerator than taking care of customers. read more

We have been waiting in line for over a half hour. People that arrived way after us have already left with their drinks. Said something to the barista and they don't care. Horrible service, will never come here again. Bigby all the way!! read more

I personally LOVE Starbucks. This location is so clean and their service was amazing! One day I came in and didn't know what to get I wanted to try the Mango Passionfruit refresher. She explained everything that was in it and she was so helpful. They were like 100/5 stars 5 isn't enough to explain how perfect it is! read more

First snowy day of the year so I decided to treat myself to a non-fat latte at lunch time. I was waiting to get back to work to have my first sip and was totally disappointed to find I do not have a non-fat latte. I honestly don't know what I got, but I can't drink it. Super bummed. Lesson learned to take a first sip before I leave the premises, but shouldn't have to be that way from a Starbucks. read more

They are nice, but the when my husband and I get our coffee, it's like a game of roulette.. you are hoping for a win but in the end, it's not what you hoped for. We called them because both of our coffees didn't taste anything like what we ordered, they were unsterstanding and said gave us free coffee. We got our coffees this morning and it doesn't taste anything like our coffees, in fact, they taste watered down. I so much wanted to give this a five star, because when you get a coffee done right, it's absolutely delicious. When we found out there was one that was closer to home, we were excited. I'm just a little disappointed that we can't get the coffee we hoped to love like the other locations. read more
