The worst staff. I ordered 2 drinks and asked for my coldbrew first since I was running to the train and my wife was heading home. The cashier snapped back Im not a bar so youll get it when you get it. Come to find out, they ran out of coldbrew so I never got my drink anyways. 0 stars if I could, will never return.

Amazing service. I placed an order using a delivery service. An item I ordered was no longer available. They made sure this was taken care of before the other items in my order were delivered.

I love the service here. The coffee is always delicious and comes out in a timely manner. I would recommend a caramel frap for newcomers because its sweet, cold, refreshing and wonderful. One other nice thing about this location is that it has outdoor seating and is right next to a small park and across the train tracks a MUCH larger park. Also its in adorable Maplewood Village, which is wonderful for shopping and eating.

Unfriendly staff ! Worst experience ever for my first Starbucks run since Covid started. As someone who runs retail management I was appalled at the way we were spoken to. Their is a way to let someone know that they can not enjoy their refreshing drinks inside. As we neared the door to re group and dispose of our straw wrappers she was so quick and aggressive to let us know. I was so caught off guard almost spilling my drink. Their I’m is a much simpler way to say “Hay guys we ask that you don’t have your drink indoors but rather in the out door seating provided Thank you” so sadden that this is happen in such a town like maplewood.

I order a Small White Chocolate Mocha, which I never had before. It was delicious. And the employees were efficient and quick. My order was ready within the amount of time it took me to use their facilities.

Its a Starbucks. Remember they started out with ONE shop back in the day. If you want Starbucks come, if not, dont. But mention this location anywhere within a five mile radius and watch the controversy ignite.Big plate glass windows looking out at our busy village. Tables full of folks getting a little work done. Chatty moms meeting to catch up. Outdoor tables filled with friends laughing and sharing. Im grabbing a quick sandwich and a liquid candy bar and cant for the life of me see how this new business represents a decline or erosion of our towns charms. A couple of winters, some wall algae, bird poop and mystery stains on the stone, this place will blend right in.

My favorite SBUX in the area. The baristas are very friendly, really cool and they make great drinks to order.

Review №21

I come here all of the time and not once have I encountered a problem whether you come to sit down and sip a cup of coffee and work, or to make a pit-stop before getting on the train to work ( the locations is very convenient since it is next to the Maplewood train station), this place suits all. This place is a hotspot for MMS students. The service is consistent and relatively fast, the environment is welcoming, and the location couldn’t be better.

Review №22

The wait just to get a pastry is at least 20 mins . They are always understaffed.Even when you place an online order after 30mins you still have to come and wait another 15mins for them to have it ready .

A little small, but otherwise great experience inside. We stayed in there for about an hour playing Pokemon and had a good time. Cool environment and staff but a little loud.

Review №27

Convenient location for walking or driving. Ive never had a issue parking. I love ordering my drinks on the app and picking up in store. So my interaction with staff is minimal, but the few times I have dealt with them, theyre mostly friendly and knowledgeable about special order drinks. Ive only had one bad drink from there. I understand peoples trepidation since Maplewood is quaint. But, this Starbucks carefully crafted their design to match the aesthetic of the town.

Starbucks is so good 👌 when I went to my location, they were out of iced peach green tea lemonades, and I was very upset because thats the best Starbucks drink I dont care what anybody else says its better than the pink drink and its better than any frappuccino.normally they have that drink, but today they were very lacking in iced peach green tea lemonades.

Review №33

By far the worst Starbucks . Every time I do an order for delivery and spend 25+ dollars they never adhere to my dietary or personalized requests on my drink . Spoke to the manager Karen once she stated it’ll never happen again and that she’ll give me a complimentary “card” . Order again today 3/25 almost two weeks later and still I’m stuck working from home with a disgusting overly priced coffee !! Never again . . You guys suck and I’m taking it personal this time

This is a very friendly Starbucks in a very friendly town. The baristas seem happy just having the customers there. I will say though, if you are an adult who wants to get work done, I would reccomend avoiding this place from when school finishes until late afternoon because its close to the middle and high school and a lot of the students seem to go there to do homework which can get really loud.

Review №39

This is a particularly nice Starbucks. The staff here is quite pleasant and helpful, great with both adults and the after-school crowd alike. The seating here is plentiful and comfortable, with two large work tables mixed in. Seating is usually relatively full indoors.

One of the nicest Starbucks in the area, the staff are friendly and know you by name.

Bright, clean (usually, and if not its because people leave a pile at the table and just go, which is just wrong. Dont be that person), and busy but not overly so. Its Starbucks coffee and to each their own on the coffee taste.

Love the Starbucks in South Orange but this one is terrible. Went here a few times. It’s always packed with loud high school students and the employees blast the music very loud. Most Starbucks are great places to get work done. This is not one of those.

Review №46

Kinda throws away the historic golden age of American town look. It is throw nice, relatively good food and it’s near the train and both middle and high school.

Review №47

This is the worst Starbucks I have ever been too. The staff don’t know how to make the drinks, they are inefficient at making drinks even when orders are not being placed, and make the drinks wrong. I was here with 4 people, it took over 15 minutes to produce the whole order at a non crowded time of day, and they were all wrong by the time they arrive. At this point, I don’t have an entire afternoon to spend in a Starbucks, so had to complain but leave without a remake or anything. Absolutely abysmal experience at this location. Go to any other coffee shop.Beautiful store though, if it wasn’t for the service would be a great spot.

It is a very nice place to study cause if the big table they have. Plus there are outlets everywhere and even in the legs of the tables which is very convenient. The staff is very friendly as well.

Great place for casual meetings or to grab coffee on the go. Its got a different feel than other nearby Starbucks, its somewhat less cosy because of the seemingly larger room, but its nothing worth taking a star for.

Review №51

The barista at starbucks tonight was very rude. He didn’t put lemonade in my blackened iced tea lemonade and i asked him for more lemonade and he rolled his eyes. Then my friend ordered a carmel frap with no coffee and there was coffee in it and she asked to have it creme based and he said “when are you guys gonna stop being so needy? Are you really gonna ask me for a new one when you chugged it down?” its usually a nice place, but tonght i would not want to go again

Leather seat was soft. But the speakers were tweaking and intermittently blasting the music. I went in to make a few calls and struggled. But for the average Starbucks trip, it would have been just fine.

Terrible. No warmth or personality upon greeting. My first time here. The attendant was cold and very cut and dry. This isnt going to work for this town. Other. Offer shops in town have personality and warmth. Awful experience.

The staff has changed in the past few months. Some are still friendly as expected in Starbucks. Unfortunately, you have a couple of ladies employed there now who are unpleasant. This takes away from the “Starbucks” experience especially at this great location.

Review №66

Kinda slow even though literally no ones in here. Seems like a waste of the chains money to open up in maplewood especially with the south orange and millburn locations. Just another Starbucks so please go support other small town businesses like Able Baker or Village Coffee (I suggest the banana hot cocoa there if they still sell it)

Fr

Pa
Review №68

Per the other reviews, ignore all the nay saying Able Baker/Village Coffee loyalists who just have no business sense and lack any vision. If you prefer Able Baker/Village Coffee (great coffee and food goods too BTW) then good for you oh self righteous ones...stick to what works for you and stop whining about other establishments. While I hoped for and think a drive thru on Springfield Ave makes more sense (yet more stupid town rules get in the way) at least its a step ahead in the right direction and give them an A for trying. Another choice for fine coffee and work/social meeting place in our beloved town that otherwise seriously needs to get over itself....Welcome Bucks! xo

Been here twice now. Horrible, unfriendly, slow service and out of what I wanted both times. People behind the counter act like they were drafted rather than having applied for the job.every trashcan inside and outside is overflowing. Cant even believe this is a Starbucks. Wheres the over site? Apparently corporate forgot about this store.

Review №90

The space is way too large. It could be appropriately fitted for a strip mall next to a parking lot. Notice how large it is and then look outside to see how small maplewood village and other establishments are. Its insulting to the small scale charm of maplewood. The Starbucks in south orange at least fits into its surrounding buildings. Other than that zoning issue, its just another Starbucks. That means overpriced, unremarkable drinks with your barista misspelling your name. Its a Predictable chain. Get your tea or coffee from another place in town or at the train station house before your commute. Support your local coffee store, not this awful chain.
