A nice comfortable place, with new furniture and attractive layiut and good options for privacy. I especially enjoy the waters, and cans of flavored high-quality soft drinks. I enjoy the passion tea (in season) and lighting, conducive for work. I used to enjoy going in the evening to talk with staff and exchange ideas on music and the humanities. I like hat they'll maje special orders for you. I try to avoid caffeine and some of the workers would make me coffee with half cup of hot water. i miss someone who died before her time, she was well loved, and it felt like a family atmosphere. i lerned so muh from her. i like the cheese sandwiches amd the small sald type portions helped my loose pounds and get back into top condition, read more

Nice and clean place, service is friendly and the wait isn't usually too long. I just don't understand paying 8 bucks for a coffee. Way too expensive, I suppose it's known going in. Just haven't had a Starbucks in a while so figured why not. read more

It's Starbucks. We all have our opinions about it by now. But ..my main complaint today is this: I ordered an almond milk sugar cookie latte. $6.72. See picture for the supposedly at least 8oz drink. More than half ice. It was good, the gals at the counter were ok, one friendly one aloof, but that's ok I don't need to be their best friend. I just cannot afford to pay more than $1 an ounce for coffee of any kind. read more

After waiting 20 minutes for my blueberry tea at Ethereal missing my train, and still not receiving it, I slapped a ten on the counter and left. I walked quickly to Starbucks a much smaller but by far friendlier and happier staff. They were crowded as it was the early morning rush, but within six minutes I hade my custom venti drink without coffee nor caffeine for so much less than the much smaller tea I would have gotten at Ethereal. At this Starbuck's people feel welcomed and comfortable. I know most of the staff and managers and they're polite, hard working, fast and efficient. As a freelance writer, many years back I wrote a feature on Starbuck's in The Chicago Reader. While set up for speed and efficiency, there products are very responsibly made, and oif the finest ingredients, so this part be is a given. But this particular location seems to attract such a diverse crowd from artists, musicians, factory workers, designers, employed and retired, it's obvious they are doing something very right. I recommend the grilled cheese which the crew will warm up for you, and their croissants. Be sure to try the guacamole spread, nadw without a single additive, that is so good I sometimes eat with a spoon, although usually in a bagel. The place is lit well, making it easier to read and work. Starbuck's will always be a staple if the historical Square, but one wonders if they should expand somehow, or open another store close by. Both managers are so good at their jobs and I for one, are appreciative of their efforts. I did notice some highly unfair and inaccurate reviews here, that seemed more personal than objective. Unfortunately there are always a few angry people in this world with an agenda. The only agenda I find at this Starbucks is fun, inclusiveness and quality.

Ordered a green ice tea, it was 90% water. Barely tasted like tea at all.... Staff seems ok, not particularly friendly nor unfriendly. Kind of a neutral factor. read more

I needed a caffeine fix and they gave me exactly that! Thank you!

It's just your average Starbucks, but it's steps away from where the movie Groundhog Day was filmed. read more

This Starbucks is conveniently located in the Woodstock Square, which is primarily the reason for 4/5 stars. Otherwise, it's one of the worst locations I've been to based on speed of service and size. There are hardly any tables for sitting down and good luck trying to get work or reading done here. Plus the lines can get absolutely crazy! There are much better Starbucks locations if you're looking for a place to spend some time while sipping coffee. read more

Received very good service from the cashier, Erik. I could tell they all work very hard here!!! Will be coming back. :)

Deserves zero stars. This location sucks!!! Worst experience EVER at Starbucks today. Ordered a caramel macchiato and was given a cup of oat milk when I ordered it with coconut milk, and there was another drink that was missing something when I brought it to the attention of staff there was just no customer service at all never communicated with me the drink was taken forever when I asked him about it. He gave me this little girl attitude. Then when I was walking out, I looked at him to look at his name tag to get his name. When I walked past him he told me I could take a picture of him, if I want. Is he stupid? Why would he talk to a customer like that? He clearly is very immature and is doing a terrible job of representing Starbucks. his name is "Kaya" . And all the drinks took FOREVER. Also the older lady worked here was also very rude. All around terrible customer service here. read more

Bad customer service- baristas just talk to each other, consistently making drinks incorrectly, no interest in actually serving their customers. Too many coffee shops on the square to bother with this. Poor management happening here. Bummer because it's such a pretty location read more

Wow The most disgusting half empty nasty eww if you call and ask for help they push their jobs off on someone else!! Way to go customer service NOT! read more

Starbucks - two cups of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Woodstock, Illinois

Baristas are bitchy. Not friendly at all. December 25 the three potential lesbians working doesnt have the "christmas spirit". Brought our pup into the store and one said that they arent allowed even with a carier... it doesnt say that on the entry door. and how can we get a fucking pupachino? you guys need better workers that has a decent personality. read more

Ordered on the app 25 minutes ago for quickness, as I'm traveling, still don't have my last drink, and I've watched my ice melt in my first cold drink for 20 minutes now. Thanks. A. Lot. Utter crap. Unimpressed. read more

Again, I have been majorly disappointed with this location. They need to get their crap together. Every time I order it has come out wrong. They always miss notes or items all together. read more

What a bunch of ignorant a-holes. My 14 year old daughter went in with friends, and they all ordered a drink. Her friends were picked up by parents but my wife was late picking up my daughter. Since she was finished with her drink, the staff made her wait out in the freezing cold. They kicked her out because she is a teenager. We'll never go there again. read more

Surprised to find only a lonely two-star review for Starbucks on the square in Woodstock. I am boosting the average with my four-star review. We made what will most likely be a one-time stop here earlier in the summer while visiting in Illinois. While some may bemoan on Starbucks on the square, I found it to be a welcoming beacon. With Starbucks, I know what I am going to get as far as quality of product. My stars for Starbucks go up or down based on the setting and the baristas. This was a large Starbucks with many seating options. Loved the exposed brick wall on the one side which gives this locale more character than most that I frequent in CA. Also a good selection of products, although I still could not find a travel mug I liked. While there was a long line and thus a bit of a wait, but our order was correct. No complaints. read more

What can I say about this location. I go early like before 6am and they are open. My order is right and ready...(app ordering). The location offers more area to telework than most maybe I will miss the train and work from this location. Staff always greets me good morning . read more

Nice place...fairly busy. The inside was clesn and the flow of the workers was consistent and efficient. It is easy to relax in here if not for one thing. I read the first review and thought he may have been wrong on a lot...but there were a couple of flies inside that were annoying. (Not saying there were a lot...but it is annoying when you want to enjoy breakfast but you are waving off the damn things every five minutes.) read more

Cozy place. Fast service. Excellent staff. I don't get why there are rants about this place. You go in and buy coffee. What kind of special treatment do you need? A magical counter showing your place in line? I don't think any Starbucks has that so why should this be an exception? LOL. Anyway, great place to relax. read more

I ordered a cafe latte. I thought it was a sweetened hot coffee. I took one sip and realized my mistake. I cannot drink unsweetened black coffee since it nauseates me. I asked for some sweetener and they said they don't have any. I told them I can't drink unsweetened black coffee without getting sick. They said there's nothing they can do. There was no sweetener they can put in. Even though they do serve other sweetened beverages. I threw away $5 since I couldn't drink it and left it on the counter and walked out. Obviously I will never go back there again. And probably will never use a Starbucks again. I don't use them much anyhow because I find their coffee slightly bitter. And now that they've made me sick I have more reason not to like them. They are not very customer friendly at that location. read more

Not sure why the rating is so low here. Over the last year I've been frequenting this Starbucks on an almost daily basis with nothing but exceptional service. Online app orders are always on point and ready to grab and go at the far end of the store counter nearest the registers for quick pick up. I really appreciate this little detail that many other Starbucks don't do. It eliminates having to ask for you order and saves you massive time when you're running a bit late. The baristas and counter staff are always professional and friendly. read more

The perfect time to be at this Starbucks is Autumn. Pumpkin spice latte in hand, walk around enjoying the best of autumn in the Midwest. I found employees to be extra friendly and energetic. It is a busy spot on some days, so while it's hard to stay upbeat it makes a big difference to customers. My only issue was the condiment bar that had creamers that had not been changed and were not cold. Always feel the canister to make sure you don't pour spoiled dairy into your drink! read more

It's a Starbucks - unless you're a regular, it's just extra cost coffee. Nice staff. The biscuit here had flavor but was pretty worthless as it crumbled into a sticky inedible mess. Real places down the street. read more

Last straw, you offer free refills and promote reusable cups but I go for refill with Starbucks cup you throw it away and say you can't ? That's weird you say because you have to wash your hands? What are you talking about . You threw it out ( not very green) to give me new cup and you didn't wash your hands ? Mind blown . Last time I'll ever come here which usually not a great location anyways... thanks read more

The Woodstock Starbucks is and has always been one of the worst Starbucks I have ever been in. Besides a few employees/partners, the staff doesn't smile, make small talk or anything. As I waited for my drink, I watched one of the employees just stand there and talk. Now, yes it was busy and I know it was gonna take some time but I had to guess which drink was mine. I used to work for Starbucks and know what and how you are supposed to do and act. A 15 min wait is just not acceptable! I even watched a customer stomp out and just excepted what drink he was given. Upper management really needs to take a look at this store! Cause it has had a bad rep even when I worked for Starbucks! read more

I would almost give it a 1 star except the staff was trying their best. The issue I have is the on line/mobile app orders. So, if you go in and see 7 people in line you think... not so bad. I can wait that long. But little do you know there are 15 on line orders ahead of you. The 2 bristas were working as fast as they could. It's Sunday morning. 30 minutes for a coffee. If I saw how long the actual "true" line was, I would have left. My husband was waiting outside with our dogs. Since I will never know the "true" wait time by counting people in line, I won't go there anymore. read more

This starbucks sucks. I live in Woodstock and I try to avoid this place. I would rather go to the starbucks in other towns and drive the 10 minutes extra. The employees are rude and do not talk nice to their customers. They love giving you attitude when you tell them that the drink is wrong. They are super slow and do not know how to do customer service. read more

They are ALWAYS so slow. Especially when they aren't busy. I always get attitude from the employees too. It's truly not the best location I've been to and I avoid it as much as possible. read more

I enjoy going here. There are some exceptional employees that always greet me with a smile. Karlie and Ben are always happy and get my special order correct every time! read more

When I use the app to order I consistently get the wrong size. Order a Venti and receive a smaller incorrect size. Wouldn't be a huge deal, if their prices weren't already high. Starbucks is a place I expect to get what I pay for. Just seems like a lot of the employees (who admittedly are very nice) really don't know enough to be consisent. Items are usually missing or made incorrectly. Meaning the already large wait time is increased while your order is fixed. Sad, but this location is not impressive. read more

I like the location, I like the decor that is about it. The place is constantly busy but the staff is hit or miss.

Stopped by for some iced tea. Line was looonnnng. But, 2 of the 4 people behind the counter were new and the ticket machine wasn't working. The folks were super friendly despite the challenges. Drink was delicious. Even went back later for a second round. read more

Couldn't gave cared less that I was a patron. Too busy talking to friends and each other to provide a good experience. Howard's new book Onward should be mandatory reading for today's staff. read more

Mostly good but not late afternoon today around 5pm.Store ran out of chai (isn't that like McDonalds running out of fries?) so I decided to go with the Oprah chai and ordered extra carmel drizzle and extra hot. Got to my car, took a sip, not hot at all. Took it back, got the same result. At that point, I am out of time so no double do-over. I should mention that I picked up my drink and a breakfast sandwich after using the mobile app this morning and it was perfection. So much that it made me want another one but clearly not the same barista this time. If this location can't stay consistent, I'll be going to another even if it's farther away. read more

Place is always packed. Service is prompt and nice. Its a starbucks you know what you are getting and they do what they do. It has a nice location on the square. read more

I love this particular location, service is excellent. My daughter uses the mobile app and we find our coffee ready when we walk in on most trips. Love it!! read more

I definitely miss the older people that worked here. They have so many new people working here lately and they are just down right arrogant and condescending ! I miss you Linda and everybody that used to work here! read more

Was in the Woodstock area and I stopped in and ordered coffee with flavoring. Yum! Barista was knowledgeable and friendly.

Autumn is the best time to go because of the pumpkin spice Frappuccinos and the service is pretty good they work pretty hard.My only complaint is the prices their high. read more
