Starbucks

My number one pet peeve is when there is no place to sit which is a major problem here. If you’re looking to grab and go then this place is fine.
The staff is friendly although sometimes they could use an extra barista to help with the line ups.
I would recommend venturing to Jarvis to have a better Starbucks experience

I came here on Earth Day and surprisingly, I was the only one to wait in line at that time (around 11 AM). The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I have a scatter brain and usually forget to specify that I want an iced drink instead of hot, as was the case this time. Luckily, I remembered to mention it as soon as I saw the barista grab the hot cup instead of the plastic one. Then, I also remembered I wanted light ice so I told the barista and she was totally cool with my last-​minute requests. No complaints and everyone seemed nice!

One of my least favourite Starbucks.
It’s very small and crammed, and extremely busy during office hours. The staff are not the most friendly of the Starbucks I visit, and seem to run out of certain coffees a lot. There is very limited seating and they seem to close early every night. I walk by there on my way to Goodlife around 8:45 and they’re locked up. This location boasts a 9pm close time so for it to be locked and lights off at 8:45 is unacceptable.
The Good:
1. Location. It’s in a fairly quiet area so on the off hours the location won’t be packed.
The Bad:
1. Size. It’s too small for a Starbucks.
2. Queue. The lines can be long.
3. Hours. Closes early!
Recommendation: go to the Starbucks at Ted Rogers Way/​Bloor. It’s close and much, much better!

A smaller Starbucks location with very limited seating (a few bar stools and a small patio outside). Staff is friendly and this location is clean, but gets busy and can be a bit crammed during the hours of 8 to 9 am and around 3 – 3:30 pm.
Overall, decent Starbucks.
PS. don’t recommend sitting on the patio right now (summer/​fall 2013) as they are currently doing construction on the sidewalk.

More modern location than the Starbucks located down the street (corner of Bloor & Jarvis), this new, modern location offers more light and helps relieve congestion during busy hours in the morning and mid-​afternoon, something that their sister store down the street is well-​known for. This location, which opened in the fall of 2011 is close to to the busy intersection of Church and Bloor Streets, and is close to the Toronto headquarters of Unilever and Xerox, as well as the Salvation Army’s Grace Hospital.

Love this Starbucks location. The brand new store is bright and airy. The space is not very big, but the layout is functional. There is a long bar-​style counter with stools along the front window and street-​side seating, perfect for enjoying the warm morning sunlight.
Store manager and staff are very friendly.
