I left a review on here before. I don't know where it went. The muppet sounding chick is still here with half purple hair. They do high volume and move quickly. I'm a fan. read more

STARBUCKS - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Union, New Jersey

Most importantly, this spot has outlets. The rest is just cherries on top lol. When I was here on a Saturday, the wifi worked on my phone but not on my laptop so I had to hotspot the entire time. Not ideal! Cherry on top: clean bathroom with no codes and service was kind! Matt, who seemed to have been the supervisor at the time, was very kind and upbeat. read more

STARBUCKS - Inside on a Saturday evening - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Union, New Jersey

This location is on such a busy highway, but the way the staff moves, you wouldn't be able to tell. My friend and I came here for matcha lattes and chocolate chip cookies. We were able to sit and catch up like I've done at many other locations before. There's a decent amount of seating and they keep soft music playing. We visited this location on a Sunday night & it was pretty calm and quiet. It was also really clean. read more

STARBUCKS - Entrance from 22 E - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Union, New Jersey

Overpriced and poor quality coffee. The staff is quite unique, some are nice , so I can't say about all of them, but customer service is not a priority in this store. read more

I had a normal experience as I usually do at Starbucks. The barista took my order with no issues and they made my order correctly. I was pretty much in and out which is a first. Everything was organized and clean in the location as well. read more

Wow, probably the worst Starbucks drink I've ever had. Which is pretty bad considering I've had Starbucks in other countries. I ordered on the mobile app because I thought it would be faster. I was wrong. I ordered at 7:40. The app said 3-7 minutes. I pulled up at 7:46 and my drink wasn't ready. No biggie. I watched as costumers came in, ordered, and left while I waited for my mobile order that was put in 5-10 mins before theirs. Finally, 7:56 I get my coffee. Now I'm going to be super late because of the wait. I get to my car, drive off, go to take a sip of my cafe mocha and it's literally dirty coffee water. It's NASTY! I mean I've been drinking cafe mochas for 12 years now. I know what they are supposed to taste like. I've gotten them all of the world! And this was dirty coffee water. Very thin and watery. No mocha flavor. Just an absolute disappointment. Not only did I have to wait a long time at the store for a mobile order, but I received trash. I expect this from Dunkin' but not Starbucks! I gave 2 stars because I know this location is usually better. read more

Stopped by for the first time today. I was a little disappointed that they did not have some of the lemonade refreshers in stock, but that forced me to try something new (not always a bad thing. I tried the vanilla sweet cream cold brew and it was AWESOME! The customer service was awesome and the line moved pretty quickly despite it being busy. read more

I love Starbucks!! I'm always buying from there.. I even own a lot of thief merchandise..lol.. However, I don't favor that new kiwi drink as it is very acid... I would not purchase that drink again.. I only ordered it to try something new but will go back ordering what I know... read more

Service was ok, not too slow. I got a pumpkin spice latte and yum I love fall and winter drinks. They made it to perfection and I was very content with the drink. I was able to sit and do some work without being bothered by anyone nor did anyone give dirty looks for staying too long without ordering more food/drinks. Nice place to study or work! read more

Love my local Starbucks! The staff is awesome and know lots of us regulars by name. They are always positive and fun---great way to start the morning and refreshing to see people enjoying their job (even when it's not fun). And most importantly my coffee is ALWAYS perfect. read more

STARBUCKS - Holiday Cheer - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Union, New Jersey

The staff is the most important thing to me. They were very friendly and working hard! I like to see that because it shows that they are going to make my drink the correct way!! It's rare that a drink is consistently made, but they hit the nail on the head. I decided to get a Venti Caramel Iced Coffee with soy milk. It was made absolutely perfect. Not a lot of people can make it so it actually tastes like it should, this one couldn't have been any better. Great job on that! Not too much caramel, not to much soy milk! Had a perfect balance!! Update: Went back yesterday and my drink was incorrect and tasted awful. Also asked for a straw since they were out, the man behind the counter said he would be right back with straws. Came back with no straw for me and none to refill the bin(yes I had to drink from the cup). Bad service and bad experience. read more

It was nice to come here a good place. The staff is what you need. Everything is set up. As for me.

Came to this star bucks after waiting in line get up to the register just to be told that they cannot except a 100$ bill because she does not have access to the drop box so the girl Niecy tells me she cannot give me change of 100$ they been open since 8am and you mean to tell me you do not have change if 100$ I will never come here again plus they had trash on the floor avoid this star bucks read more

I used to love this Starbucks, they used to have the best staff (the current staff seems to lack the proper training) and were always so friendly--that was until the current management took over. I stopped coming into this Starbucks a year ago due to the horrible management and service of one of their baristas. I figured I would give it another shot and unfortunately things have not changed! You walk in and the place is absolutely disgusting! There's trash on the floor, the condiment station is absolutely filthy and is never fully stocked with anything you're lookin for, the bathrooms are atrocious and smell, the entire place smells! This is not what you want to see/smell first thing in the AM. Furthermore, whenever I'm there in the mornings THE MUSIC IS SO DAMN LOUD! I'm told by the rather--to be nice, boisterous blonde barista, that the music is controlled by corporate and cannot be turned down--What? Not only that but she's INCREDIBLY rude, and constantly makes my drink wrong, every time. I've noticed also that She's ALWAYS on bar. I have never met someone so rude. when I confronted the manager about the way his employee was acting, he seemed to not want to be bothered with what I had to say. Safe to say, once again, I'm not returning until the store has changed its management and the way a certain barista speaks with customers. read more

The service is great here. The people that work here are very nice. Once I had came to pick up a order my boss had ordered. Unfortunately he had ordered to the wrong Starbucks but the lady that worked there was still willing to give us our order without having to pay for a second time. Definitely will be coming here more often just from the great customer service that was given to me. read more

I've been here a few times and have never had a negative experience. I've never been to this location during the morning so I wouldn't know how the lines are then but in the early afternoon it's usually fairly quick with plenty of seating options. I just had a ham & cheese croissant that tastes great and was warmed up perfectly. However my iced caramel macchiato is ok and doesn't taste as good as usual. They have plugs all around so it's perfect if you want to spend some time here and need to charge your phone/laptop. The baristas that I've encountered have always been friendly. Overall one of the best Starbucks in the area and also one of the most spacious. read more

Yeah. Looking at my old review, it's time for a revamp. Ready? Here we go! Ever since I started my senior year at Rutgers-Newark, I came here multiple times for their White Choco Mochas and Peppermint Mochas (seasonal only). That was also when I wrote my old, short review, which was written at a time that I didn't care much about Yelp. But now, I come here on a once-in-a-while basis, and I must write up on my most recent experience. Unfortunately, what's also changing in my revamp is the rating. At the time I went, the line wasn't very long (the line was long during some of my previous times). What I've always liked about this particular location were the baristas. They were always polite and patient when they taking the orders. As far as waiting times for my drink and food to come out were concerned, I didn't have an issue. But that was probably because of the fact that I was never in a hurry whenever I stopped in here. More in regards to my recent experience, we had the Peppermint Mochas. It was a good taste of chocolate and peppermint mixed in. Of course we could never go wrong with whipped cream and mini choco-shavings on top. This was perfect for a cold day, especially when you're sitting down. This location is mid-sized, and bigger than the Westfield one. There were several places to sit in both sides of the store. In addition to the separate seating areas, at the right side of the store, there was a long table where various patrons could sit down and enjoy their drinks and/or food. Some Starbucks merchandise was also located at the right side of the store, even though some were also located in the front, which was right where I walked in. The store itself looked nice and bright, and wasn't noisy with bratty, texting teenagers (you'll still hear easy listening music in the background, which is typical), unlike Westfield. So why did I remove one star? This location used to have the soft, dark, and comfortable LEATHER chairs. But now they're all gone, and replaced with hard, wooden chairs. While the chairs looked new, nice and bright, especially under the sunlight, they weren't as comfortable as the soft ones. I think they did this so patrons could leave as soon as possible so others could sit down. The free WIFI here works, but can be sluggish at times. You may even get dropped once, prompting you to reconnect. That happened to me when I was here. Also, when I tried to check-in on Yelp via WIFI for this place, my app couldn't locate myself or any surrounding locations, and asked me if I was a ninja. Really??!! When I switched to my 4G Mobile Data, I was able to check-in without an issue. In regards to the WIFI, the upload and download speeds can be quite slow. If you don't have to upload or download anything big (small is OK), then just don't, but do use it for basic browsing, e-mail, messaging and light social media purposes. Overall, the atmosphere, drinks, food, and service will always make me a fan of this location. Cheers! read more

I'm giving five starts to this location because the guy Mike that works there had the best customer service ever. He was so nice and he looked like he enjoyed helping others. If he's not the manager already, he should be! read more

Very bad customer service! Already placed an online order and it passed on the estimated time the order supposed to be finished and the barista still didn't put my order on the online order tray. The fact that i mentioned it to her when i first entered store that i ordered online. She wasn't welcoming as well when i entered. From a former barista, it's such a shame from this branch. read more

Very, very slow service. Much slower than any other Starbucks I have visited. One person taking orders. One making coffees. And one stocking lids & cups. Meanwhile the line of customers is literally out the door. Unfortunately this is typical for this location read more

doing their best with the covid situation, the coffee and snacks are still delicious. More convenient for me to order online and pick it up, it is very fast. Thank you for still being available during these times. read more

Had an amazing experience here today. My experience was made 100% by an extremely professional lady named Alicia. She was extremely helpful and very vibrant, thanks for making my day !! read more

When in tonight and ordered three drinks. The woman behind the counter named Kate or Katie (barista) was chatting with a customer who was also her friend while trying to complete my order. Within this conversation she mentioned how she met a guy who asked her "wanna fuck?" Completely unprofessional in a work environment and she also messed up my order. read more

Nice smaller Starbucks. Been here a few times over the last year. The store was decorated and stocked nicely for the upcoming holidays. The location stinks. It's located in the middle of route 22. Tough getting out of the lot during busy times. You end up having to pull out into the fast lane of 22 no matter which side of the lot you go out. read more

Very good coffee, although please be aware that they are located in the center of a VERY busy highway. Please be patient as your order from this location may take a little longer than expected. read more

Great location, ideal for a quick stop before hitting the parkway. I showed up roughly 10-15 prior to closing and I enjoyed my time. Kia, the lone barista at the time, took my order with a smile and I enjoyed a brief conversation since there wasn't much going on. I enjoyed my java chip frapp with a shot of espresso. Will come again. Excellent customer service at the end of the day made this stop worth it. read more

We ordered a venti iced caramel macchiato to share. It costs $5.30 I think it's quite expensive. The place is descents-quite, lots of tables and chairs to sit on. People read newspapers, eat outside foods here, group meeting... read more

This place is a hot mess! They made my drink twice both with regular milk not almond milk. My friends drink was made cold instead of hot and then they heated up 2 pumpkin breads instead of the one she ordered I guess that is a bonus, but it is apparent that they are not managed well. read more

I luv Starbucks and I've been coming here a while. The past week was a big disappointment!!! The music is so loud so I mentioned to the manager the customers are complaining and she claims she turned it down but the volume goes back up again. The other Starbucks are quieter and more relaxing. Hope the music can be turned off completely!!! It's so loud!!! read more

It is the great place to have a cup of coffee after long day work. Green Tea Creme Frappuccino is my favorite, it is so yummier.I will always.... always visit this place for its spaced out tranquility... It never disappoints me. read more

STARBUCKS - Green Tea Creme Frappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Union, New Jersey

This is by far one of the slowest serviced Starbucks I've ever been to & it's a shame it's the one I use the most and in a high traffic location. Sometimes there are at least 3-4 employees behind the counter yet only 1 making specialty coffees/drinks. Often you have to wait more than a couple minutes to get plain black coffee. As most Starbucks now, this one has been remodeled to be more functional than comfortable. read more

This is in the smaller side and I don't find it too busy very often. The barista's are very friendly, as I expect from all starbucks. Drinks are the as any other starbucks. It is on the smaller side and all but 1 table is designed for a party if 2. I like it because it's conveniently located in the median of 22 so you can pull in going east or west bound. Make sure you bring a sweater though because im always cold in this one. read more

A nice big Starbucks, in a horrible location (well, I hate Rt 22, so I could be biased). Drinks are good, and the employees are pretty nice. But I'm not going there unless I'm desperate. read more

Not the best Starbucks I've been to by any means. Sometimes the lines can get excessive - and the rate at which they sat drinks out is also a bit slow. The staff are decent to you and the space is pretty solid. read more

STARBUCKS - Order that latte!!!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Union, New Jersey

I love this location, but it's Saturday morning and you have the new person on register. The line is out the door and people are leaving. I paid with a 10 and he messed up the amount I gave on the register. I just tipped over 3 dollars bc the poor guy behind the register is new and looks like he might have a nervous breakdown. Management should know better than to do that to an undertrained staff member. read more

Place is a little warn....needs some updating to look fresher. Had two orders of coffee both were good.

Coffee is good ,but the morning staff is awful here to much singing and playing when all I really want is my coffee and not to be late for work. They need to be made aware that customers are on there way somewhere. Evening staff is way better ! read more

Had a eggnog latte in the morning with some friends. Very goood for starting the morning. The cashier was very nice to me as well.

I used to love this location with comfortable couches and that beautiful long wooden table to the right. The decor used to be so cozy and they have decided to renovate. I totally do not like and it no longer feels comfortable. They removed the couches and changed all chair to hard wooden chairs. I can no longer do any work here and will have to find another location. The staff is still very friendly but the atmosphere is no longer the same. read more
