Starbucks

My neighbourhood coffee shop. The staff are friendly even when it’s busy — I’ve seen 20 people in line on the weekends but you always know what you’re getting and it has a great view of English Bay. Could use better (ie more comfy) seating but I guess they need room for the lineups!

Love this location. So close to the beach. Love the people they are fast and on top of it. I usually don’t have to wait even if it’s a big line up.

This one wins. Can you think of a better location? I sat right by the window and this was my view :) yay!

Came here to get a coffee before meeting a friend for a show. I got tea and he got got a decafe mocha with whip and syrup both on me. Customer service was very friendly. Modest size place, however, for some reason the place was extremely jammed back for a Saturday night.

This place was great, just like any other Starbucks, except this one has a great view of the water!
Location:
Right at the corner of a nice and busy street right off of Davie Village and Sea wall.
Inside:
Nice and clean. Lots of chairs and even some that face the water! The bathroom was also nice and big, which is always great.
Food:
The usual Starbucks quality. I don’t usually go to Starbucks, but when I go I get myself a Blackberry Mojito Tea Lemonade. I recommend getting this, honestly, its their best drink in my opinion (I’m not a coffee person).

Lots of coffee options downtown. Sometimes I choose Starbucks, sometimes not. All the pros and cons of Starbucks can be summarized with one word: Efficiency.

In the summer this location is jam packed especially when there’s an even like the fireworks but the staff have a good assembly line system so when the line is almost to the door the wait is only 5 or 6 minutes.
Coffee Cream: The staff are super quick.
Whole Milk: The crowds.

This location is so freaking busy — on this particular day the line up was almost to the door but the staff had grace under pressure despite there only being three of them and my drinks only took about five minutes or so. Nobody seemed stresse and all in all it was a particularly pleasant experience.
I must admit that I do prefer my Denman and Robson location as my usual but if I’m hitting the seawall from English Bay side then it will be my go to spot :)

This is the Starbucks to get seen at, right off of English Bay, you can pretend you just jogged the seawall, or that you are just heading out to walk your dog. Or you can grab a mocha-​chatta-​latte-​ya-​ya a la voulez-​vous couchez avec moi, c’est soir — better make that on ice if its hot out, dayum!
If there’s another touristy Starbucks besides Robson Street, its this one. Its a big location with all your standard coffee fare, and chairs outside so you can people watch, but you’d get a better view if you staggered across the street to the beach and creeped on the tourists. Last time I was in here I swear I saw Kenny Rogers, yea man, srsly, the guy knew how to roll ‘em and fold ‘em! Then I realized it was just one of these guys
Ah well… a girl can dream right?

One of the more busy locations in the West End. Perfect for pre/​post beach day. Also great place to park ones self on a sunny day — and not bad for the other 364 days either.

Can’t beat the location and view, which is good and bad. I’ve been here several times, and there’s never been a line of at least five people.
But they’re fast in taking your order, but slow in making your drinks because there’s only one person making all those orders.
Because of the fact that they’re always packed, the Internet is constantly lagging, which is frustrating after waiting for 10 minutes to snag a seat.

Okay, sure — it’s a Starbucks. I’m not going to give it anymore love than it deserves. But after a lengthy conversation this afternoon about how mega-​chains are governed, I felt it necessary to throw in a couple of tiny cents in about this particular Starbizzles location.
Best, best, and probs most expensive view in the entire city, this Starbucks has the potential to be an amazing study-​slash-​workspace, but has never quite achieved said status with me. This is where the «potential» thing comes in – it’s always, *always* packed. Lineups out the door, not a seat in sight, the atmosphere is a bit frenetic. In and out, is what they seem to want, and in and out is what I generally do.
BUT, bonus: there’s no key for the bathrooms, so if you find yourself in need of one of those when wandering the pretty beaches of English Bay, they’ve got that going for them.
Standard Starbucks drinks, no hassle bathrooms in a high-​tourist zone: welcome to Starbucks Denman and Davie.

Fabulous location essentially across the street from the beach. A good, solid place for after-​dinner coffee when it gets too noisy for regular conversation at Cactus Club across the street (see my review –worth it anyway). Wanted to go to Delaney’s but it was closed Easter Sunday evening, and weren’t expecting much since it’s «just Starbucks» but it was better than expected — we found a table for 4 right away, service was quick, order was accurate, and we (including my parents’ older ears — no they are not on Unilocal to read this!) could definitely hear well enough to enjoy conversation over our coffee/​tea.

It was moderately busy at the till when I came on a Sunday around 9pm. There were still a few seats left for parties of one or two, but it just felt too claustrophobic for me…
I dislike practically all Starbucks beverages, and since there wasn’t any other coffee shop open at that time I just got a tea latte, I despise Tazo teas as well! Maybe frothed milk or passion tea is the only option for moi at Starbucks?
They should stock almond milk like ALL Blenz coffee shops do, but I understand that there is a very small percentage of people that drink it.
It probably has the best view for a Starbucks… I will give them that. I doubt people leave their seats from «studying» if they get one in the front. ;o
Baristas are sweet, bathrooms are revolting. Take your drink and take a stroll at English Bay.

Perfect real estate with a view.
Friendly staff, perfect Sbux style cappuccino.
A perfect stop on the loop from yaletown to denman, back to yaletown.

Being a former Starbucks Manager myself, it’s very easy to be critical of cafes and how things are done. This Starbucks completely gets it right. I have been 3 times in the last month, and every time the staff have been courteous at the very least.
They are friendly and willing to chat if you start up a conversation. The manager does a great job of ensuring a high quality standard of cleanliness and ensuring that tasks are done to the highest standard.
While some people may believe Starbucks is all the same, in my opinion, good people, like the ones in this store, make this Starbucks stand out. I will being coming back, and I would recommend.

This has got to be one of the busiest coffee places in the city. It is always a hub of activity and recently underwent some renovations to modernize it a bit more. I am a regular here, and the staff are welcoming.
Great place to sit around and get some work done on the laptop too.

Funny and happy baristas. They are fast in taking orders and making the coffee. If it’s wrong they don’t mind changing it. They know the regulars by names and I never saw any of them with a bad attitude.
This maybe the busiest Starbucks I’ve seen in Van City but hey it’s right there smack in the happening area. It maybe hard to find seats but you can just kick it across the street at the little park or beach.

It was busy, sure. But the line-​up went fast, and I got what I wanted pretty darn quick. The person taking my order and money was kind and patient. The place looks clean and comfortable.

It is the busiest starbucks in Vancouver and someone told me that it is one of the most busiest in north america. at the same time it is cosy and there is always space as most people just take drinks and leave. it is a good spot to hang out and do homework and also meet people. I made a couple of friends there
