Cold-Hearted Management in a Moment of Need -- But a Shoutout to Saniya for Her Kindness We had a truly upsetting experience at this location, specifically due to the manager, Marie, whose behavior was unnecessarily aggressive, unkind, and completely lacking in basic human decency and abilities to be helpful. We fully recognize that our request was unorthodox -- we were three women traveling through Salem on a Sunday, caught in a bind when all the luggage storage options in town were unexpectedly closed. We only needed a safe place to leave our bags for two hours while we visited the Witch Museum. We were willing to pay, buy food and drinks, and even open our luggage to show we weren't carrying anything dangerous. We weren't demanding, just asking for a bit of grace & empathy in a stressful moment. Instead, Marie came out stomping, yelling, and treating us like a problem to get rid of. She spoke to us with utter disrespect, then slammed the door in our faces -- when a simple, "I'm sorry, we can't allow that," would have sufficed. The situation didn't call for hostility, and it was genuinely shocking to be treated so poorly when we were clearly in distressed and trying to be respectful. Thankfully, not everyone in the store was like that. The barista, Saniya, was a total angel. She showed compassion, patience, and understanding -- everything that Marie did not. Saniya saw our humanity and tried to help, even though her manager made it clear that kindness and customer service was not a priority in that moment. We understand that rules exist, but when people are clearly struggling and offering to compensate you for a small favor, you'd hope the person in charge could show some decency. Instead, Marie reminded us just how much people lack compassion when in power. But Saniya reminded us that there's still good out there, too. Thank you, Saniya and other male barista were truly be the type of humans that Starbucks should hire and promote. You were the light in a really disappointing situation. Sidenote, to the male barista & Saniya the drinks were great. read more

The folks are always nice and greet guests in the way in. Music isn't too loud. And drinks are always made correctly. Always stop by when I'm in the area. Easier parking options with the lot right in front. read more

Starbucks - Caramel Ribbon Crunch Crme Frappuccino Blended Beverage - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

We stopped in here to get an iced coffee and a passion iced tea (both grande). Service was fine. I just found it totally odd that they don't have restrooms for their customers. They suggested we go down the block to Wendy's or another establishment. That part really shocked me but there's always a first! Well, we enjoyed our drinks; took them with us and continued on with our walk! read more

Food: The Iced Hazelnut Oat milk Shaken Espresso was AMAZING! Best Starbucks order I have ever had (what a treat for me haha), the coffee was strong and perfect! They also had these cute lil samples of "chocolate cold brew" & "Strawberries & Cream Frappuccino", which were both really good (definitely preferred the cold brew haha, SO good! The frappuccino was more of a dessert). Service: Workers were super nice, friendly, and happy! Especially because I loved the cold brew samples so much lol. Ambiance: The store is really bright, clean, and in a lovely area of Salem. So glad I stopped here! read more

If I could give this place a zero I would. There was one person when I walked to place my order. ONE. I placed my order and then 6 people walked in. Everyone after me got their drink before me. I asked for a refund and got my money back. That was absolutely insane to wait that long after 6 people coming in AFTER me. read more

I've never written a review of a Starbucks (or anything) in my life, but the employees at this Starbucks are so incredibly nice I figured they deserve it. Every time I go in they're in a good mood and genuinely friendly, and they often write nice messages like "have a great day" on my drink. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face--never change!! read more

I love this Starbucks during the week, but on the weekends it's always a mess. This is the third Saturday in a row I've gone in and the woman has asked for my name for my online order, wrote it down on a list and when my drink order came up... nothing. She didn't call the name on the label of the drink, nor did she mark as complete in the online system. She did look at the list and I assume she concluded the person wasn't here yet. So I sat there staring at the drink for a good 3 minutes (hey at least it wasn't 5 minutes like last time). Finally she put it on the table with the label out so I could go up and check. Sure enough, once again! Stop over complicating the process! Just call out peoples names as the drinks are ready, and let people check in with you when they arrive. Period. I never have this issue during the week and it's always so smooth. read more

Stellar staff and service, period. These baristas know their stuff and are hardworking community members who crank out your coffee & tea, morning noon and night, -- all amid the busiest segment of a one-broom town! [Cue the flying monkeys on the heels of the Wicked Witch of the West as she rides her caffeinated broomstick up & outta here.] read more

It's a cluster f**k in there every single time thanks to online ordering. Minimum ten minute wait for any kind of coffee, without fail. That's too long. Done. read more

You can't go wrong with Starbucks. While I also enjoy supporting the mom and pop coffee shops, there is something about the consistency I get at a Starbucks that comforts me. They also boast a killer variety of holiday lattes that I just cannot get enough of. We popped into this particular Starbucks for a quick pick me up in the form of a chestnut praline latte, as well as a quick bathroom pit stop while we were walking around Salem. Very clean restrooms and a great variety of cups and mugs for gifts, as well as many convenient grab and go items. read more

Still one star over a year later. I don't understand what is going on to make things SO excruciatingly slow here. Three people are working and there is still a line of 10 in the store waiting for service???? I order over the app - I give it 5 mins over the longest time they estimate for a wait and STILL have waited 20 mins in the store. We are talking about pouring iced coffee in a plastic cup. read more

So I'm not huge on writing reviews of chains, but there were some negative reviews that I feel are otherwise undeserved. I stopped in to buy a couple of things for my wife. Two coffee drinks for work and a cake pop. Service was quick, and the baristas (ugck, I feel annoyed at their title and their sizes. Hey starbucks, it's your biggest size, so it's a large. Who the hell are you to call it a 'venti' huh? I get that this noncomformist, but it's in the most annoying possible way. Anyways, I hate Starbucks and I'm leaving a nice review so let this be a reflection. Oh wait, rant over, back to the service) were very pleasant. Her iced caramel machiatto (LARGE) was tasty, I tried a sip. She also enjoyed her doghnut cake pop. I felt it didnt look like a doughnut, but it was cute. Parking is metered, in the parking lot in front of the shop. So, have quarters on hand and available. I am glad that yuppies have bad experiences here, maybe they'll stay away from Salem. People that complain about "transients that sit around all day taking up seats" and others complaining that the Starbucks doesn't give them quarters to pay to park, please GTFO of the North Shore. For all the transients: bathroom code is 8162. Enjoy washing yourselves in the sink. read more

Only one Starbucks in Salem. I ordered 4 things in advance with Mobile App. 3 of them are already prepared and just picked up. For sandwich, there was only paper pack left. I thought it was being warmed up but the pack disappeared the next time I checked it. I asked a barista and the kind I ordered was out of stock. I picked a different one, but I wanted them to let me know rather than I asked. read more

the coffee and food here is not great and could use adjustment of ingredients. this starbucks is pretty small and crammed and same w the parking. not ideal and i don't recommend. read more

Super friendly staff they always get my order right and when I place an order through the app they always has my order made for when I walk through the doors I love this place!! read more

It would have been nice is they had updated maps and other sites to reflect that they were closed instead of just putting a sign on the door. So I drove 20 minutes for my morning Java fix and walked away empty handed. read more

Service is fine. But if you want to have a seat, they are mostly occupied by non customers. I have to always get my stuff to go. Today one of the non-customers had their toothbrush and occupied the restroom for a period of time. While two others just camped out, as another brought in their lunch and can of soda. While paying customers have to leave because there is no place to work or have a conversation with their Friend. This is really becoming a problem. No manager in sight and no tables getting cleaned off. Please fix this. I know I will not be coming back unless this is resolved. read more

Convenient location. Beyond excellent customer service from staff. My coupon expired one time and the barista honored it anyways. I was definitely impressed. Great guy! They have a huge variety of drinks, Danishes/pastries and really good banana bread. Cake pops are a must on almost every trip. Around the holidays they have exclusive drinks/flavors. I loved the Frankenstein frappuccino they had for Halloween and the eggnog latte. On a regular day I almost always go with iced caramel macchiato. Prefer this place over Dunks any day...especially since I've never had my drink made wrong here. (At any location) read more

I went there this weekend and had a great experience. I ordered and paid for a drink with oat milk. I was informed a couple of minutes later that they ran out of oat milk and they asked if I wanted to substitute with a different kind if milk. They also gave me a card for "$4 off your next drink." I thought this was so nice of them to do this for me even though I was fine substituting with almond milk. My friend and I received our drinks quickly despite how busy it was on a Saturday afternoon! read more

Been here a few times. Transients everywhere. Coffee always taste as if the beans were burnt. No more. Dunking for now on. At least their nice and fast. Gulu never again, rude. Front street, also rude. read more

This is my "go-to" Starbucks so the 1 Star is just based on my experience yesterday. I worked at a Starbucks for YEARS so I KNOW creating the best experience and providing quality product is the priority. That was not the case here. I walked in with a friend and we were the only people in line. We waited 5 minutes before Rich acknowledged me and said sharply said "Know you want". Uhhhh ... I was a little surprised he didn't say "hi" or ask me how I was or make any attempt to be friendly but okay ... I ordered my Trente unsweetened green tea lemonade, he didn't ask for my name, didn't ask if I wanted anything else (I did but forget it) and waited at the end of the bar for Hayley to make it. She didn't even look at the cup markings (which were wrong) when she started pumping classic into the shaker. I said that I didn't want it sweetened and she reluctantly grabbed another cup, made a venti, shoved too much ice in it and tossed it on the bar. Okay, "thank you so much! Have a great, day too" I thought as I chiseled my straw in and walked out. My drink is pure lemonade with a splash of green tea. She didn't even bother to use the right measurements to compose the drink. Starbucks, I love you. This experience does not reflects how I feel about you as a company but ... God damn, who the hell beat the sparkle and took the joy out of this staff???! read more

Thursday early morning crew are the absolute best. 5am flights during the holidays are stressful and these two Starbucks friends were quick and super cheerful. Exactly what we needed to start this long day off right. read more

I've always enjoyed Starbucks Coffee, although the location, price, and friendliness of staff have deterred me somewhat. I do love the coffee though. That, itself is reason enough for three stars. read more

I love Starbucks coffee , frequent them all over the country, and this was the dirtiest one I've seen. Compounding this was the service, let's just say " not with a smile" , not crowded, in fact the I was the only ordering customer, -not busy time so you would think with two barristers standing there I could get a pour over w/o a problem right ? - if looks could kill, - I was delivered a grounds infested cup of broth colored water - so weak , void of any strength - hot water. Once I asked for another, still the only customer, she glared at me , silent , dagger eyes, and made another cup. It was fine except for all the grounds in it - but I'll take it. It's coffee, not algebra - wtf? My advice , good coffee right up the street - don't go here. read more

I love this place. It's clean the staff is super friendly and welcoming. They can take a little long but that's Starbucks in general. Overall this is definitely my fav one and I've been to plenty. read more

this isn't a review of starbucks in general, just this location. they get it right every time. EVERY TIME. this is the polar opposite of the experience you will have across the street at dunkin donuts, where they will get it wrong EVERY TIME. shit. i've only been to that dunkin donuts twice, but it's because after the second time of screwing up, i figured it was a fancy little trend. the service is very fast and friendly in here. also, it's one of the only places in salem on my route to the train station that is open, other than the two dunkin donuts pieces of shit that i pass, at 6:30 in the morning. convenience is a big factor here. everything is done well, too. you know how sometimes a coffee doesn't seem as fresh, or your chai isn't as flavorful as last time? that'll never happen here. it's nice place to hang out for a little while, too. the seats are spread out enough that you don't feel like you're sharing your innermost secrets with the dude to the right. read more

Finally an awesome coffee. The best that I have had in a long time. Fast, friendly, and great coffee! read more

Starbucks - Salted cold foam cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

We always order a short hot mocha or an iced mocha and they always deliver the perfect drink.

Coming from Boston, I was rather impressed with this Starbucks. Now, I know, this is a chain coffee shop, but hey, each location has their own distinct feeling and vibe. Some (such as Boylston & Berkeley) are extremely busy and fast food feeling where others (Harvard Yard, Kendall Square) feel more community coffee house. Whatever, go with me here. Despite the semi-awkward location (feels like a strip mall rather far from downtown, I think?) the inside is cozy and comfortable. The bathrooms are super clean (well, I went in once the barista finished cleaning, so it ought to have been) and the ambiance was great. I ordered a green tea latte with peppermint (for you ex/current-Starbuckers out there, it's good, trust me, try it!) and it wasn't awful. I would have liked some extra foam, but hey, what can you do? It's a chain, have low expectations and you're golden to go. read more

It's my least favorite Starbucks in the world... no scratch that there is a terrible one in Washington DC... it's one of the older Starbucks so they need to update their decor. It's the location is a pain. It's kind of tucked in and you have to do a weird loop usually to get there. You have to pay parking at the meter as well. I also ran into homeless people there sometimes asking me for change. The people that work there are always friendly and nice. read more

Awesome - today's Barista Rocked making my drinks. Love the Eggnon Latte, and the Ginger Snap Latte - Thanks!

My favorite Starbucks to go to. The staff is always friendly and in good spirits even during the busy hours, the displays and seating areas are always clean and organized, and they make orders very fast here. I also like this location in particular because of how much seating it has available which is always nice if I decide to stay there for a while. Out of all the Starbucks I have been to so far in Massachusetts this takes the title as best one in the area read more

Very friendly and fast service. The staff at this location quickly learned my drink, which I appreciate as I am a frequent customer. They keep the coffee bar and tables clean and keep the line moving. The latter being important as the meter maids can be fierce! Trust me, it's worth it to just pay the meter otherwise your coffee will be quite expensive. read more

I love my friends at Starbucks in Salem! They take good care of me. They know my name, my favorite drink and are always positive and kind. If you've gotta get your caffeine fix, definitely go there! read more

Awesome! Same great taste as Boston but prices are cheaper. The dollar stretches in Peabody. Got a venti for the price if a grande. Minus the fifth star cuz there was a vagrant outside knocking on my car window for spare change. That sorta put me off read more

What can I say-it's Starbucks. You can usually count on your drinks being consistent & there's definitely something to be said for such predictability. I typically frequent the locally owned establishments in Salem when I'm out & about, especially when I'm in need of an espresso drink-I want my fix pulled by a human, not a machine-but, I like this location because it's within a stone's throw of my condo downtown, making it easy to pop in if I need a quick jolt of joe & to grab the NYT on Sundays. Staff is always a delight & even when it gets crowded, they keep the line moving quickly & efficiently. read more

Nice Starbucks in a great location. Within walking distance from the Salem Inn. Plenty of parking.

I don't like at all how they take away the milk, half and half and skim milk containers an hour and a half before they close. When they do that they stop asking shall we leave room and don't even offer the cream you have to ask. Why can't it be left for the customers right until 8:15 pm. It isn't right. read more
