Service is very nice and the most interesting looking Starbucks in the Rockford area. Like the urban setting in a historic building.

I like the iced matcha teas! Paying for foam not so much. Understanding why Starbucks is losing customers! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rockford, Illinois

This is truly the best Starbucks I've ever been to. The drinks are always made perfectly and the drive thru is SUPER fast! The staff is always friendly. Always a great experience grabbing a coffee at this location! read more

I had the best interaction with a Starbucks employee that I have ever had. They always ask, did our employee make an effort to get to know you? Jeffrey certainly did. There was a bit of a wait for my cheese danish and he struck up a conversation at the drive up window. Asked me about my day, what plans I had, where I worked. He was absolutely lovely! He was the kindest, most genuine Starbucks employee I have ever encountered. So much that if he was single, and I'm not sure that he was, I would totally introduce him to my daughter! P.S. the white chocolate mocha and my cheese danish were fabulous as well. Well done, Jeffrey! read more

This Starbucks has some of the perkiest staff around. I've been here about 4 times and used the drive through which is situated around the back of the building that you get to by an alley - odd but effective. The staff are very nice and jovial even at 6:30am. read more

Was really disappointed in my experience today - tried to order a cold brew with cold foam and I asked them to add caramel, and cream and sugar. The woman taking my order let me know in an annoyed tone that the "caramel is sugar" and she supposed she could add more if I really wanted it. Due to her tone and judgment, I ordered it with just caramel and cream - and it ended up being too bitter and tasted like there wasn't any caramel in it. Which is why I wanted the extra sugar, with my large coffee. ??? I think I know what I'm ordering. The kind person at the window definitely helped the experience, but your coffee is already overpriced - don't let it be shitty too. read more

This is a huge Starbucks with lots of seating options. Same menu as everywhere else. It does have a drive-thru and it is a "real" Starbucks, as opposed to this "Starbucks" residing in a Target. If you like noise and country music turned up loud, really loud, then this Starbucks is for you. However, if you are looking for a place to enjoy your coffee, have a conversation where you are not shouting to your friends so they can hear you, or if you want quiet study time or to read a book, this is probably not the place. read more

The place and staff are very nice, to say the least. that's an understatement. They remember you by name. The environment is very inviting for studying and relaxing. In addition, the space is very well maintained kept clean. read more

I recently visited with a friend from out of town, we were greeted and spoke to a very friendly employee at the ordering screen but she seemed to be working with another girl once I arrived at the window. This girl was wearing a name tag that said Alyssa on it. One of my drinks was customized as extra Carmel drizzle and my friend felt it was the same amount that I received in my customized drink, when Alyssa took the drink back she proceeded to squeeze an obnoxious amount of Carmel drizzle into my friends drink filling 1/4 of the cup with Carmel. After biting my tongue and driving off my friend noticed that we received the wrong sandwiches. At this point I was so fed up I had to go back and at least get the sandwiches i thought I paid for just for ALYSSA to argue that I didn't receive the wrong sandwich. When I explained that I asked for the TOMATO and mozzarella focaccia and not the egg and mozzarella sandwich She told me I was charged for 2 of the egg ones. so not only did my friend receive a little bit of coffee with her Carmel because she was simply too high maintenance for asking for what she paid for, but I payed for 2 sandwiches that are a higher price than the sandwich I really wanted. 1/5 stars- terrible customer service. really disappointed with the Midwest customer service I've received driving through Wisconsin and Illinois area but this takes the cake. Thank you Alyssa read more

This is my go to starbucks since it is close to where I work. I normally go through the drive-thru and the staff is always extremely friendly. My drinks are always on point at this location compared to some of the other locations in the area. I normally order the fall seasonal salted caramel mocha hot, but during the off-season they just don't carry the seasalt but you can still ask for it. I ask for only 1.5 pumps of the flavoring otherwise it's too much for me. The only downfall for using this drive-thru is once you are in line there's no way to get out of line, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time if you're trying to make it to work in the morning! read more

My favorite Starbucks in Rockford. Whether I stop here in the morning before work, or in the evening for a pick-me-up the staff are the nicest here, and always make my drink right! I've been to several Starbucks stores in the area and this is the only one that is continuously on point making drinks. The lines go by fast, especially the drive-thru. Also, my first time trying the caramel cloud macchiato, it's so light, I love it! read more

Awful and weak tasting Matcha Frap and Caramel Macchiato. Took one of them back and they simply couldn't do any better.

I've come to expect good coffee from here. The store cleanness & service of staff here is awesome; I'd prefer this branch over others in town. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rockford, Illinois

This is my favorite place to go. The staff and I have become close over the years and they know exactly what I want to get. They're super friendly and accommodating and are not hesitant to fix an order even if it's just slightly off. The drive thru is very fast and has never had any set backs for me. I love the renovations as well. It's my home away from home. read more

Amazing customer service and the staff are so nice!!I go there do my school work and it's so nice and calming!!

This place is staffed by a group of completely incompetent people. I ordered a traveler the night before, with an arranged pickup time the next morning. Not only did they forget my order, but they acted annoyed when I asked how long it would take to fulfill my clumsily forgotten order. Additionally, why do your staff members wear spiked dog collars while serving customers? Is this your idea of professionalism? I will not be patronizing this location again. read more

I enjoy working from this Starbucks. They have a clean and large space and their staff is extremely well trained. However, being next to rock valley college provides for large packs of 18-20 year old groups at random points in the day. It's distracting while trying to work and having to stop to listen to a story about how the teacher reprimanded a fellow student because of selling drugs and wondering why their tuition money doesn't allow them to waive this one mistake. read more

I normally make my own coffee, but sometimes I want something a little different. I think Starbucks is a little proud of their coffee, especially for the prices they charge. However, ever fall I do love their Pumpkin Spice coffee and year round I love the caramel macchiato. read more

My favorite starbucks! Personal service; come in a few times and they know you by name. Order with the app and it's sitting there waiting for you. It's kind of like having a coffee and muffin with a bunch of friends! Special shout out to the baristas! Thanks!! read more

It seems every time I visit this Starbucks, the service is mediocre at best. When going to the drive-up and ordering a hot latte and turkey breakfast sandwich the server gave me my coffee with no cardboard sleeve, even though it was hot, and the sandwich with no napkins. This happens quite often. They should take a clue from the Starbucks at Bell School and East State Street. Those guys are the best! read more

The staff here are amazing! They are very energetic, very polite, and always smiling! I always use the drive-thru and sometimes you have to wait a long time. If you are in a hurry there is no way to leave the line which kinda stinks. Otherwise the place is great and I'll continue to buy my overpriced but extremely delicious fancy beverages here. read more

This is a normal Starbucks. It is a bit larger than the others I have been in. Typical drink options and food options. Everything is pretty standard. read more

This is my favorite Starbucks in Rockford. The staff is great, they can always help me out when I don't know exactly what I want. I love the setup of this Starbucks also. The outside area is awesome and it has a decent view while you relax with your caffeine. read more

This Starbucks is hit or miss when it comes to service and drink quality. They experience a very high employee turn over rate. I never know when I go here if my order will be made correctly. When I order light ice I get more ice, and when I order no lemonade in my refresher, they put lemonade in it. Yesterday morning I waited in the drive-thru for 15 minutes and had them screw up my drink twice in a row. First time it was the wrong size, and the second time it had had cinnamon dusted on the top (never ordered cinnamon) and caramel dripping down the sides of the cup. I normally would have cleaned it off myself (not that I should have to) but I was given zero napkins. Some of the employees are nice, but most I find are rude. I don't understand what it so difficult about making a drink and serving it to someone correctly. read more

As many have pointed out, this was the best Starbucks in town 6 months ago. The staff was friendly, very efficient and the entire place felt like a neighborhood coffee shop. Exactly what Howard Shultz intended. Now after their remodel they are less focused on the customer in the store, much less efficient and sadly much less personal. The redesign of the workspace is tight, limiting workflow and focused almost entirely on churning drive through orders. I'll still go here, the manager is great, but now my must have neighborhood coffee experience, is more like a fast food impersonal experience that shows a trade off for drive through orders at the expense of loyal customers who, for the past 5 yrs, have parked, walked in and enjoyed a better than average cafe experience. read more

I really like this Starbucks. It is very clean and the workers are nice. I would recommend this shop.

Normally when you see 3 people standing around for 10 minutes longer than 5 other orders, and at least 5 drive thus, you give better customer service than the barista working saturday at 1:30. You certainly apologize for the fact that you forgot,misplaced, or lost our order. You certainly listen completely when the nice lady tells you exactly what her order was or, try to find the order, so you may have a customer pleased. Not this guy..you don't listen, cut off the nice lady in mid sentence, make the wrong drinks, and then you make the lady feel like an ass for telling you it is wrong, when it was your error..You then respond with "you didn't say that", dump out the drinks, and give attitude to the nice lady that didn't make a scene originally to your lack of customer service. Whats worse is you have no problem doing this in front of a room full of customers..Way to go guy..you lose 3 customers, and you are jackass. read more

This is my "go-to" Starbucks in Rockford. Very friendly staff, and a comfortable, relaxed environment where people can lounge and read, study, or chat with friends. Would definitely recommend this place for a nice relaxing cup of coffee. read more

Best thing next to Seattle's best coffee..... I'm glad there is a drive threw.... Girls were nice so I'll keep coming back to do good deeds .... Never know how many cars I'll buy coffee for next your behind me. !!! Have a good day..... GO SEAHAWKS read more

Do not stop if there is more than one else car in the drive through!! You will wait forever and you can't get out of the drive through line!! I'm in line now, going on 15 minutes...I just ordered. There were only 5 cars in line NOT around the building. I could see every car in front of me. This one is always slow. I gave them a chance to redeem themselves today. They failed. Last time we went inside, waited over 20 minutes and they were hardly busy. I was waiting inside that time for my order. I could see they had no clue what they were doing. The lady in front of me got half of her order then I got one of mine, then she got her half etc. I'm still in line. Still 1 car in front of me. This is going on 23 minutes now!!!!! read more

This is the best Starbucks in town because they have the best staff in town. They're friendly and efficient. The place is always immaculately clean. Going here is always more than just going for coffee-it's a social experience where the conversation is just as important as the espresso. read more

My favorite Starbucks in Rockford. It's really awkward being the only customer in a cafe while baristas gossip and giggle. I feel like I'm being watched. Luckily, there's enough traffic in here so that I can swim into my textbooks and disappear for an hour or so, but not enough to get too loud. I'll have my Venti Sweetened Black Iced Tea - no water here over any other Starbucks any day. read more

This is comparably the best Starbucks in Rockford along with the one at the intersection of Bell School/E State St. The staff has changed recently and there are some very poor quality workers there now. Lincoln from this location is always so outgoing and friendly. Hopefully the new workers realize they aren't fit for the job sooner than later. read more

I've been to this location before and had a really great experience. My experience yesterday was disappointing. I was purchasing the Illinois Starbucks cup at this location. I only found one and I decided to purchase it. I noticed it was a bit sticky, but didn't think much about it. However after being at another location where the cashier went out of his way to get me a cup that wasn't their display cup, I think I was a bit disappointed that the cashier at this location didn't also do that. However, I'm not really letting that experience affect my review. I was just disappointed in the service and the coffee. The cashier wasn't very friendly. He didn't notice me standing there until another employee said "hi" to me. He quickly made my coffee and I headed out the door. I was very disappointed to discover that my coffee was barely warm when I took a sip. I was nearing the end of a roadtrip and didn't have the patience to go back in and have them make a better one. I've been to a lot of Starbucks all over the country and I think this was possible the only time I've ever received coffee that cool before. read more

The Strawberry and Cream Frappichino was pretty good, also liked how it was my temporary nickname when the drink was served. I should have ordered the "Skinny caramel macchiato" for a cooler name. read more

I like this place. But I try to avoid Sunday morning time because it is too busy and the service is not good during that time.

I hit up this location pretty regularly - I can get in & out quickly and they have yet to screw up my drink - great baristas!

This Starbucks is fast in an out fast. They have something for everyone not just coffee. Wonderful people. I have been to many Starbucks but this is the best and fastest one in Illinois read more
