I met a co worker and client here for an intake meeting. Needed to use Starbucks wifi as documents are filled out online. Thought I should get something, as I took up space, parking and used the wifi. I ordered the springtime lemonade that is featured with light ice, small size. It was good and came with jelly Boba beads. The price was $6.34. I don't drink coffee. I never go to coffee shops either. 4/5 as the price was expensive. But using the wifi was justified to complete online documents. read more

Service was rude . The guy literally walked by instead of greeting us and with such attitude . I was waiting to make an order . not one eye contact . Literally just crickets in the air . Then i said outloud before we left id like to make a order please no answer . I do not know if thats how starbucks is but seriously i rather go to Caribou . Rudeness is simply not cool. I get if you are tired but rudeness is not okay . Be ready to work and greet guests . Do not just be a body at work . Kids these days have no work ethic these days. So disappointing! read more

I was meeting friends for pedicures because summer, but I arrived early. Time for a treat! Luckily, this Starbucks was right across the street. Luckily, it wasn't too busy. I was promptly greeted, and the kind baristo gave me the run-down of the summer drinks that have hit the menu. I went with the Summer Skies drink, which is a tasty, tropical delight bursting with berry flavor and coconut goodness. (Definitely recommend.) While I didn't hang out--appointment to keep, this location is clean and spacious and seemed really chill--it would be a great place to chat with friends! read more

The staff here is amazing. When I was here there was a lady that came in and started being aggressive towards staff, saying that if they did their job correctly, they wouldn't be yelled at. The staff member making the drink was calm and collected and handle it so beautifully. Amazing job Starbucks employees!!! read more

The Ford Parkway Starbucks is the worst of what this company represents -- rushed, chaotic, and careless service. Orders are wrong, staff are dismissive, and the whole vibe feels more like a factory line than a café. If you want quality coffee and to be treated like a person, support local shops instead of this corporate machine. read more

The staff was so great last night! My daughter fell outside holding a tray of 4 drinks. She sprained her ankle and had a larger scrape on her knee. The store was closing but the crew stayed open so we could clean the cut AND gave us fresh drinks. THANK YOU!! read more

With so few lights on I almost thought this shop was closed as I glanced from the street. I finally saw someone leaving and used the rare space provided by St Paul to park. There is a parking lot for the businesses in the area but it is on the cramped side. My visit did not find a busy shop as reviewers have mentioned but that's probably due to Covid-19 restrictions and no seating inside, hence no need for the brighter lights. There is a separate pick up counter for on line orders, otherwise a quick fill of a brew for me, made fresh the way Starbucks should be. No dark roast available thus minus a star. Man about 40 sitting against the outside wall hitting people up for money. read more

Starbucks - View from street parking. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Meh. Great area and good potential, but every time I try it - it is dirty. Connected directly with a Target Express, I expect better. Customer service is good and the drinks are normal but it's the dirty floors and cabinets for me. To make this feel better, a nice deep clean and sanitization is all it needs! read more

See all

~ Overall: Love this little Starbucks. And love that it's got a door to target inside as well. ~Pros~ Staff are always nice here Never had an order messed up ~Cons~ Sometimes quite busy Only knock on the place is it's pretty small and there isn't much space for people to exist there. But that's not a bad thing necessarily Note: this is not a Target Starbucks. Just a regular one. read more

Good to know: download the Starbucks app and order in advance. You'll avoid the line. This is a small and busy place. The line often goes back to the bathroom. The staff are really nice for as busy as they are. I've been in here many times and my beverages are always perfect. I don't say this lightly, because I never order just straight coffee. I order complicated drinks according to my hubby. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Best Starbucks around. Their pour overs are perfect every time! Friendly staff. Only downside is that it's a little small. It's my almost daily! read more

I love this location! The baristas are always very friendly! They know what they are doing because my drinks always taste amazing! Great cake pops as well! I have a question idk if someone can answer: Why can't mobile orders be left to grab anymore? Like before Covid. Now we have to wait in line for them and the barista has to hand them to us. Caribou you can just grab them. Much more convenient. Tell your team to keep up the great work tho! read more

Now that there's snow on the ground, my choices are to walk 15 minutes in the cold from the Park and Ride or stop at Starbucks on the way to wait for a bus that gets me closer to work. Guess which option wins. For over a month now, I've been stopping in most mornings during the work week. Most of the time I'm greeted by Wolfgang, who always is working hard, but makes time to talk to everyone. In typical fashion, I came in this morning around 5:40 AM, and Wolfgang was busy marking down items with their sale prices (I'll have to come back to check that out when I have more time!). But he stopped what he was doing to help me because the other Barista was busy. Since they don't have decaf ready to go (most people must drink leaded; wish my doctor hadn't cut me off!), Wolfgang had to make a special drip for me. Let me add that I am not that full of myself to think I'm the only one who gets that treatment. But Wolfgang is so sincere about being friendly and all of the customers who interact with him get a nice positive start to their day; myself included. Most of the other Baristas are nice, but a few can learn from Wolfgang. That's why the rating. It probably would be a little lower if it weren't for him. So at least through winter, this Starbucks is part of my morning routine, because a "Have a nice day" is as important as the Venti Decaf Soy Misto. read more

I usually don't review chains, especially chains with a billion locations. But I have to say that this particular Starbucks is really great. Today I was blown away when I paid for my coffee with a gift card. The guy running the cashier was possibly the friendliest Starbucks employee I have ever encountered and totally shocked me when he said, "This gift card now has a zero balance. [I started digging for my wallet] ... I took care of the remaining 62 cent balance for you." [I looked up shocked to see if he was serious.] When I looked at my receipt, I saw that he'd zeroed out the total. In the long run, yes, it's 62 cents. But I really appreciated the gesture. I hope I don't get him in trouble :-) My only complaint about this location is that it is ALWAYS crowded. But they move along pretty much as fast as you could expect, and the coffee is always good. read more

Eh, it's a Starbucks. I did witness something that was a bummer though. While I was waiting for my drink a young kid came in pick up an online order and the staff were real rude to him. You gotta treat all your customers as humans. This worker was nice to adults but for whatever reason was real rude to the kid, and not patient with him not understanding what it was she was telling/asking him. It was obviously memorable as I write this almost two weeks after my visit. It was a bummer to witness. read more

As Ian said, this is like every starbucks in the world. Everyone knows the menu, the vernacular, and pretty much what to expect.' However, I will point out a few things that make this certain location a litle different: - Parking is tricky on busy times - the Barnes and Noble and Chipotle are competing for spaces there. - No idea why this place get's so busy, but occasionally in the morning it's like going to a Starbucks in lower manhattan with lines wrapping back to the bathrooms and throughout the store. - Come at the right time in the morning and the sun will be streaming in the windows from the East. - Nice outdoor seating in the summer read more

Great service. My wife came in and got drinks for me and her and the had a smile on their face and super nice. Hands down the best service I got in a long time. Thanks for a wonderful pumpkin spice frap and peppermint mocha. Much appreciated read more

This location was a bit hectic, and I must have arrived at a busy moment because it was all hands on deck! Despite the rush, the barista had no problem remaking a beverage for the woman in front of me, assuring her that it was no problem, and explaing some of the issues that causes differences in flavor from time to time. Simultaneously, she made my hot cocoa to perfection and the woman left with her correct beverage, more knowledge, and assurance that she hadnt been a bother. I didnt want to interrupt her flow to get her name, but mad respect!!! this was at around 12:45 on a friday. I saw only friendly faces, and as i was ordering, the barista at the register greeted her customer by name. what lovely staff! read more

Dealt with a extremely rude barista named Haley was very rude to me and my toddler son while ordering coffee will never ever again come to this location read more

At the dawn of time, I briefly dated someone cute and innocent who worked here while she was going to school. I went in to visit her and she pretended not to know me but was all shy and nervous. It was so adorable. Apart from that, it's like every other starbucks in the universe. It is, as many are, right next to a B&N. read more

Yes, I'm giving Starbucks 5 stars. This might not have been something I would have done 5 years ago on principle, but these guys do a great job. This Starbucks is one of the best I've been to: the staff is exceedingly friendly (and if you go often enough and have bionic hearing you can get updates on their personal lives: weddings, babies, hurray!!), it's conveniently located, they are always washing the floors. Though it is small, they recently redecorated so I can almost always find a chair and the outdoor seating is fun people watching. and yo! Free WIFI! Plus, I like the mix of people who visit this joint, which makes it different from the nearby cafes. It's a surprising ethnic mix, with rich and working class, and people 12-92 often enjoying their frappes side by side. They did change their hours to close at 10pm recently that peeved me. I loved that they closed at midnight. As for the food and bev, it's pretty standard as anyone knows and everyone has their favorite drink. But I do think they make it as good as any Starbucks here. read more

Hadn't been in this Starbucks for a while until a couple of weeks ago. Had one of the most unfriendly employees that I had ever seen. I thought that maybe she was just having a bad day. Well, I went in today on the way to the airport and 2 employees were having a bad day. Manager? read more

The staff is always friendly and knowledgable, and the unsweetened iced coffee tastes better than many other locations. As many of the other reviews have stated, it can get very busy, but the line moves fairly quick. There is a lot of outdoor seating, which is a big plus as its in a nice spot of St Paul. Parking can be a bit tricky on the weekend with so many surrounding businesses. read more

Busy little location. It has its own storefront, but you can get to in from the Target next door as well. Quick service. A few tables, but not a ton. Lots of parking in the attached lot. I tried their new "Blonde" espresso today. It's ok, but I like the original better. read more

It's Starbucks attached to barnes and nobles, whatever. Docked a star off (wish i could dock off a star and a half) for the fact that there is a theft detector thing between them and barnes an nobles, meaning that you cant take unpaid-for books in there and read them. Isn't that the whole point of having a Starbucks in a barnes and nobles? read more

I stopped in today at a super busy time and the baristas were absolutely wonderful! They got everyone through quickly while still taking time to provide great service to every customer. Great baristas and great drinks! read more

Always good service and a nice place to read or get some work done.

I work up the road so I'm here like 4 times a week. The staff are amazing, and provide exceptional service. The only downside is a lack of indoor seating. read more

I've been coming to this Starbucks more and more frequently for the past 8 years and I'm in love with the service and quality at this location. I always tell my friends, "if we get coffee, we have to go to highland". They know what they are doing here and rarely get things wrong. My coffee is always a special order and tastes amazing every time. Everything is said and done with a smile, even during busy days :) Keep up the good work guys and know you are greatly appreciated! read more

Standard generic chain coffee house. You know what you are going to get. Reminds me of JC Pennys....

friendly and efficient with outdoor seating and easy access to Target.

My family and I went in to get 5 drinks and during our order the woman helping us was incredibly rude. We went to pay and tried to use the $100 bill we had. Immediately we were faced with "we can't take that". For such a busy establishment, how is it that $100 bill cannot be broken or am I to believe that there is only $5 in the register after being open all day? It wouldn't have been so bad if she would have been polite about it but she was beyond nasty. I was forced to use a card and not even offered my receipt or thanked. When I asked to speak with a manager I was ignored 3 times and finally she answered with "he's in the back". Finally the manager came over and he also didn't seem to understand how to treat customers. Due to the unpleasant staff, we will not be returning. It would have been nice if they offered to break it for us next door or even said "oh I'm really sorry, but there isn't enough money for me to break this right now, do you have any other form of payment?" Or even simply " I'm so sorry for the inconvenience but I do not have enough cash to break $100." It would have been a little better if the manager didn't have an attitude of just shrugging it off but again he was not much better. I am incredibly disappointed in Starbucks especially since I am there getting coffee countless times during the week. I even bought a traveler from a different location in Roseville this same morning and was treated 100x better by ALL of their staff. read more
