I feel obliged to update this review as it no longer is worthy of a 5 star…read more Here's why. This used to be my favourite Starbucks downtown Vancouver. Why did it earn my number 1? Well....the location, the space inside, the service and the great baristas, and all that is still there except one......great baristas. Last few times, consecutively my coffee was cold. You can tell when you hold a cup of coffee in your hand that its gone cold, right? I mean....there's no heat coming from the cup. So, shouldn't the baristas be aware when they serve coffee that's gone cold or stale? I think nowadays with this location they're more worried about smiles and hellos...which is good in its own right, but people come to a coffee shop for coffee. Unless you ask for it to be iced coffee ...it really should be steaming hot. I'm not being unreasonable, am I? This is to Starbucks: I get it...your focus is Coffee and not pastries or breakfast sandwiches....as your selection clearly demonstrates, but you're dropping the ball on what you do specialize in at this location. Long story short. Make sure to take a sip of whatever you ordered before leaving the store. It might be luke warm... at best.

My favorite sandwich so far is the Chimichuri Chicken For The Win. Tasty and filling! If you want a delicious bun and don't mind a smaller portion the $5.20 Oven-Roasted Ham and Swiss on Brioche is a great choice. No Chimichuri and you want something bigger than a breakfast sandwich - the $7.82 Cubano sandwich is decent.

The music is a tad too loud than I prefer. you'd have to raise your voice a bit to make natural conversation. Its too loud if you just need a quiet place to read a book when drinking coffee. They should turn it down a notch. I ordered a grande mocha hot chocolate with extra mocha pumps and toppings. It was pretty good in terms of taste, also not too sweet. The temperature wasn't too scalding hot so it was drinkable right away. The hot chocolate had a bit more grainy texture than I'd like but not enough to make me choke. Some of the previous yelp reviews about the rude staff is unfortunately correct. The staff lady's tone was kinda rude when I went to the wrong counter for picking up my mobile order. (The Starbucks i usually go to has the pick up counter on the right corner, not the left) She could have said to please go to the other side but said something rather rudely in a accent I didn't totally understand. It sounded like she said they didn't get any mobile orders at all. I just told im picking up a mobile order again and she said to go to the pick up counter on the other side. But the rude and dismissive tone I got in the first place was unexpected and kinda soured my visit. Overall, this Starbucks makes good hot drinks with a nice and spacious seating area. Too bad the staff needs to learn to talk in a friendlier manner.

I ordered a breakfast bagel and a vanilla latte with oat milk. There were no other customers there and my order took a very long time. The person taking my order kept getting distracted by watching somebody outside and had to keep asking me to repeat things. So it seemed like forever before my order even went in. Once I got it, everything was pretty nasty. The latte was bitter and super thick and the bagel was like a toasted blob of flavours I couldn't distinguish.

It's located a corner of two stairs parking. It's very convenient for some reasons. When I was overwhelmed with the shopping at Best Buy, Sportscheck, Marshall's, Mark's, and Canadian tire in the same building, this is the only place to sit down and take a break. Or if you don't want to be a shopping companion, just wait for your partner while having coffee. Another reason, this is the rare Starbucks along popular bike street, Ontario St. It's nice to have a coffee break or toilet break while cycling. Or ask filetred water in summer time.
