Starbucks

This is probably one of the most efficient starbucks around. The line up sitch seems daunting, but goes by very fast. The store it self is pretty big and the drinks come out pretty quick which is a plus.

Service: 4

This location recently re-​opened because they were closed for renovation. It’s much more bigger with many seats and the wait time is quicker because they have many barristers to take your order.
However, the drinks haven’t met my expectations. Compared to the Dynamic Funds building, their drinks are less bitter but there’s still some consistency problem. My favorite drinks are latte and flat white.
Latte
— less bitter but not too sweet
— extremely foamy
— I always order Tall, but I don’t know why the weight feels «lighter» 90% of the time? They don’t put the same amount?
Flat white
— bitter
— foamy
— fail to give me the «white dot» so I end up paying more for a «latte» because of the extra foam.
I always see new barristers and it seems like they rush through the drinks, which is not a good sign.

If you want your coffee fast, this location is pretty good. They get you in and out pretty fast. Overall, Starbucks coffee is pretty good. I take it black to get the full experience of the coffee, and it is not that bitter. This location has plenty of seating and a food court is close.
If you like having coffee with lunch, then you can grab a drink here and your food elsewhere. This is a prime location, so it will always have a line, but you get through the line pretty quick.

I visited this Starbucks prior to entering the Hockey Hall of Fame while in Toronto, Canada.
This Starbucks is located in an indoor shopping center that is actually located below ground and only a few feet away from underground subway system. I was surprised to discover when visiting Toronto that there are a great deal of business that operate below ground because of the frigid winter temperatures.
I found this Starbucks to be no different than the rest, there were no specialty drinks sweetened with maple syrup (Canadian joke). What I could order in the States I could order here. The staff working was top notch, efficient, friendly & fast with service. I ordered a decaffeinated cappuccino with steamed soy extra wet and was provided in a very timely manner exactly what I had ordered.
After receiving my drink I was given the option of two separate condiment sections both of which were quite large and clean which is even more important!!! After adding a tad bit of cinnamon to my drink I had the option of sitting inside the Starbucks which has an open feel to the naturally lighted concourse area or sitting outside. I decided to sit and do some people watching which was quite hard everyone still seemed to be dressed like Eskimos.
I did however enjoy while sitting in the open concourse section and looking up toward the ceiling which was a work of art. The glass structure that houses this indoor mall spared no expense when it came to creating business with beauty.
The floor in which my chair was sitting on was made out of lightly smoked glass cubes which I thought looked nice. It was not until later in the afternoon after visiting and exiting the Hall of Fame one floor below this Starbucks did I realize that the glass floor I was sitting on was the ceiling for the floor below. So when visiting this Starbucks and/​or walking to /​from the folk’s one floor below can see basically your image passing by, it was quite neat.
Just like other Starbucks this one offered ‘free’ WiFi. If you are planning on visiting this location plan on arriving either by subway, bicycle or taxi because there is no parking around.
I doubt I will ever be in this area again but I am glad I got to experience it!!!

Great little escape steps away from the path. Bring indoors, they really created an out doors patio feel with the openness of the seats and spaciousness. The staff here are super friendly and all facilities are kept very clean and well stocked.

This is a very busy location, but for the size of the line ups, the service is quite fast. If you can snag a seat, it’s a good spot to jump out of the office for 15 minutes to reset. If you can’t get a seat in the actual store there is a lot of seating in the adjacent good court.

I have hadn’t such a bad experience dealing with a Starbucks manager and supervisor in a long time. It’s unsettling to see such bad customer service. Don’t treat your customer with disrespect and derision. Will not be coming back to this place.

This is a nice Starbucks. It’s located one level below street level in an upscale food court. Lot’s of people in and out, yet it was fine for cooling my jets for an hour or so. The walkway of the mall above has opaque tiles and you can see people walk over as they hustle and bustle on their way.
I wish I had one of their Tevanas right now.

This Starbucks gets 5 stars as it is the best Starbucks loacation I have ever been to. To be clear, this is the Starbucks located in the Path — part of the Royal Bank Centre by the Union Subway entrance.
The staff are simply amazing here. It is easily one of the busiest locations as everyone gets off the Go Trains and are funneled into the PATH system in front of this location. I go 1 – 2 times a day (for the last 2 – 3 years) and I can honestly say I have yet to see someone have a bad day and slip on customer service — incredibly rare!
If your a regular, they make a point to know your name and drink. they just say Billy — would you like your Grande Skinny Mocha? This is not just one or two staff members, it’s everyone. When you see the manager in action, you quickly learn why the staff are so good, she is incredible and winner of Starbucks Manager of the year award multiple times.
They have three people working the cash when its busy and they take your drink orders while your still in line. By the time you pay, your drinks are ready and waiting for you. Don’t worry if you see long lines, they move quickly.
Bonus — they are opened on Saturday and Sunday, great for people working on a weekend in the Financial district.
I go out of my way to come to this Starbucks… the amazing staff ensure I start my day off with a smile. Try it yourself and see the difference.
