OK, this place was busy with full traffic outside since it’s in downtown area but good thing is that they have reserved Parking for Starbucks customers. I I did go in the morning time around 9:30 AM. The coffee and mozzarella sandwich were good though.

Great branch offers vital service for office workers from nearby. Good range of food and drinks with outstanding service!

While the service is good. If you go early in the morning like between 5am and 6:30am there are quite a few ppl in there who appear to be homeless so while it may be a good refuge for them it does make you think twice if to enter.

I never thought I'd have to write a review like this about a Starbucks, but here we are. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was cold—not because of the air conditioning, but because of the staff's attitude. I was greeted (if you can even call it that) with a dismissive glare and a tone that made it painfully clear that my presence was an inconvenience. When I asked a simple question about an item on the menu, the barista rolled their eyes and gave a one-word answer without even looking at me. Excuse me for assuming that customer service still mattered at a place that charges $7 for a latte. To make things worse, they got my order wrong, and when I politely pointed it out, the response was nothing short of hostile. No apology—just a snarky, “That’s what you said,” followed by an exasperated sigh as they remade it like they were doing me a massive favor. Spoiler: they weren’t. I swear I saw the staff member spit in my drink. This location needs a serious attitude adjustment. It felt less like a coffee shop and more like I’d wandered into a staff meeting that I wasn’t welcome at. I get it—everyone has bad days—but if that’s how you treat paying customers, you’re in the wrong business.

Quick service. Claustrophobic inside. Even without the app, I'm surprised how quickly I'm in and out of the store. I'm happy about that for several different reasons. First of all, so many busy Starbucks have a crew that is steady but doesn't hustle. The cashier was quick and I was surprised at how quickly my espresso came out. Second, the interior is tiny, and there are very few windows. It feels like I'm stuck in a basement and there isn't the usual Starbucks by the rich colors and coziness.

Fantastic staff! Highly recommend their key lime lemonade is tastes better than the pie! And it was a creation of Emmanuel. It won’t disappoint. Jess was hospitable and lovely. Thanks for being really cool 😁

They can not pour nitro cold brew! You order ahead they still wait for You to arrive before making. This is the ONLY location I consistently have problems. I live 1 block away and will start driving to a further location. Thankfully customer service line is helpful and offered a full refund.

I will admit that I was influenced by the Starbucks 50% off Cold Drinks Summer Deal on Wednesdays. I got my drink here two times, on Aug 2 and Aug 9. On the 2nd I ordered an Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, and the 9th I got a customized Iced Matcha Latte. I ordered both via the mobile app and both were ready after the 10-ish minute walk from my place. Like other reviewers said, it has a great surface lot but don't feel entitled to endless spots in the middle of the city. I loved how spacious the interior was. The staff were always super friendly.

Why are people complaining about parking at a Starbucks in Midtown? It's Midtown...it's a city. This location is meant for those who live and work around it. You're lucky to have any free parking whatsoever, and if you feel entitled to free surface parking, visit one of Atlanta's thousands of suburban Starbucks locations before coming to Midtown. This location is just fine.

I've started going to this Starbucks recently and I really enjoy it! It can get a little busy and crowded at times in the morning given how close it is to many office buildings and apartments, but it is never overly noisy or chaotic. The employees seem friendly (though I always mobile order so my interactions have been limited) and my drink is always made accurately and ready on time. No complaints here!

Great Starbucks but they don't have raw sugar. That's unusual.... I've been here twice the first time my order was made wrong and and the second time idk I just was not impressed. I'll try them a third time. It's a small Starbucks they seem to always be full.

Ordered online using the Starbucks app prior to arriving at the store, and ordered for in store pickup. The order for two drinks was ready for us even before we walked inside, which is pretty fast since we were less than two miles away when the order was placed. Pretty big free parking lot, especially for a Starbucks Midtown location, but no drive thru window. The inside of the store is clean and spacious. The employee we interacted with was professional and efficient. There are some tables available inside, with other tables, some with large umbrellas, in the patio out front, separated from the sidewalk by a sturdy metal fence. The only thing that was annoying at this location is that most of the outside tables in the patio were dirty and needed to be wiped down. It would've been nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the perfect temperature and slight breeze outside at one of the tables. Both the carmel macchiato and iced tea latte were perfect and tasted great!

Listen, it's a Starbucks so there really isn't much to talk about at all in terms of food or beverage. Starbucks is really consistent with that. All I will say is that this place is slow. Super slow. I totally get that we are in a COVID-19 world and all of that, but this had nothing to do with that. They had three or four employees in the back working which was pretty much 1 for 1 with the amount of customers they had in the store and not one of them had any zest in them. My drink was good, but the wait is not. I'd skip this location and find one that moves a little quicker. Even if it's further away you'll still get done sooner, I'm sure.

Rude!!! I get you're closing soon but come on. Doesn't look up from her phone. Says order whenever. Then no, "We are out of black tea", 'Are you going to make more?' , "Nope". It wouldn't have been too difficult to explain to a customer that you will be closing soon. Maybe suggest something? Stinks like bleach on top of the rudeness. Will never be back.

Great location in the middle of Midtown. Staff was friendly and helpful. The barista took time to tell us the difference between the different coffee beans they had available at the time. I tried the blonde expresso for the first time thanks to her taking time to explain. Coffee was good. No couches at this location only tables with chairs. Indoor and outdoor seating available. When it gets busy, it can get a little messy. Otherwise, great location and service.

I have been a supporter of Starbucks since 2003 when I use to live in New York, the customer service has been very consistent, the quality and amazing taste of the beverages and food never disappoint and the atmosphere is great as always.

They made the wrong drink, due to them not reading the label. Then when it was remade, it tasted watery and did not have cinnamon as I asked for. No apologies, no credit, no refund, nothing. They are a hit and miss depending on the day.

Slow and disinterested staff. Visited 2:20pm on 4/16/19. One cashier, unaware of long line. Periodically texting between orders. Barista standing by the unopened register. Intermittently stepping over to make the drinks. No sense of urgency. I left and so did a few others. Take your business to the new Allegro coffee on 14th street level of Whole Foods.

This is a new Starbucks with great coffee. There are freshly brewed, reserve coffees to choose from throughout the day. Tables are available for people who would to sit and enjoys their coffee. The art on the wall add to the comfortable environment. There s pleasant mix of customers who come to purchase coffee and food here.

Smells bad, asked for kids temp and my drink was scorching hot and they left pastries in the case that they no longer had which is annoying, great customer service though!

Made a mobile order here multiple times and they make my pastry but always take forever with the drink and its mind-boggling as to why they do that. It's ridiculous to have to wait 10-20 extra minutes past the time they say my order should be ready. Trash.

I only ordered a breakfast sandwich and a water at the counter and had to wait for my food for 25 minutes!! I finally went up and asked them about it, turns out they didn't have it at all. I'm pregnant too, on the verge of tears because I am completely starving at this point. All I got was a "sorry about that". I mean at least they took care of it right away(?) But of all people to do something like this to, a pregnant lady?! Do better please. Wish this branch was more reliable.

It was a warm day in Atlanta, and I had spent far too much time in the sun. Despite being late-afternoon by the time I got back to the hotel next to this Starbucks, I was determined for an iced caffeinated beverage. I strolled across the Marriott driveway and entered the cool, air conditioned oasis of Starbucks. Resisting the temptation of the pastry display, I rolled up to the counter and ordered an iced caramel macchiato. The cheerful Barista took down my order and then offered "You know, you can get a caramel frappucino for half price right now?" What's that you say? Half price? Well, I've never had one of those! (don't judge me) We quickly changed my drink order (after I confirmed that, yes, there's actually caffeine in one of those blended concoctions.) While waiting for my drink, I turned around and finally took a look at the seating inside this place. WTH!? Look at that looooong table with seating on both sides that people can actually sit at and do work and talk to (or ignore) other people! I swear, every Starbucks I've ever been in has the little tables, or 4-person tables that get hogged up by some wannabe screenwriter leaving the solo-just-wanna-chillax person nowhere to sit. This is some kind of genius. What's that? Oh, my frappucino. *slurp* .. Mmmm. Delicious.

I ordered five drinks via uber eats, and they gave the driver THREE of them. I called and they refused to help me in the slightst, and shoved the issue back onto me, telling me I have to work it out with Uber. Manager was not concerned or helpful in the slightest. Deal with Uber, its not our problem. oh, btw, The Uber driver phone DOES NOT ACCEPT PHONE CALLS Uber does not have any sort of helpful system, not anyone you can call, the only option is to open a ticket and maybe whenever they will credit your account IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT how to work through the system which doesn't allow for the input you need to give them. Cannot change quantity, and the amount on the ticket is not correct either. Starbucks could not care less. Nor uber.

This Starbucks definitely isn't my favorite, but it's not the worst one I've ever visited. I wouldn't come here for the wait time or the friendliness of the staff - neither are particularly noteworthy in a positive way. I would actually note that, on occasion, the wait time is exceptionally bad, which is doubly confusing and frustrating considering there is no drive through window at this location. I would come here for the ease of parking and convenience to other Midtown destinations, though. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and the bathrooms tend to stay a little nicer than those at other Starbucks locations since you have to request a code from the staff to enter them. The hours for this one are not as great as other locations, though. They close pretty early (at least compared to the 10pm close time I am used to for most other locations). Protip: They moved their online order pickup away from the normal drink pickup area. It is meant to be more convenient since the new area is closer to the doors, but it wasn't obvious to me that this had occurred since I've never seen this done at another Starbucks. The staff wasn't particularly nice about it either. I asked about my order, and they acted like I was an imbecile for not noticing that it had made its way to the other end of the room.

So I've had to find a new Starbucks since the one I liked (because of the huge windows) at 867 Peachtree has closed until it reopens in one of those nice new hipster buildings being put up in Midtown. The pros: 1. Very easy to find off of 14th Street. Plenty of parking, and it's very spacious inside. I dig the set up quite a bit, especially the huge work table they have set up. Make sure you find a spot near an outlet or you'll bleed yourself dry with your computer or device (I have a nice recharging battery for those). 2. Friendly staff, quick to work on your order, and quick to get it to you, even during busy times. 3. Open for good hours with all types of people inside. Honestly the people in there are pretty damn attractive. The cons: 1. Unfortunately when it comes to most of their offerings, if you have something that's sweet it's pretty damn sweet. I limit the amount of sugar I take in each day and this place probably gives me three days worth in one item. I've been learning what to order and what to avoid so far. In general, they still get it right. 2. Outlets are tough to come by unless your near one of the walls. Make preparations for this ahead of time. 3. As with most Starbucks, parking is at a premium. I've been here in the past when my wife working at King & Spalding down the street so expect rush times to include tons of attorneys who are more than a little cranky if they don't get their caffeine. 4. Back to the parking, if you get a space, avoid a sewer grate unless you enjoy the sweet scent of sewer gas permeating your car when you open the door. I think I'll take a fart over that smell. 5. The major thing here; do not, I repeat do not even think of parking here and stepping over to Einstein Bagels to get something to eat. The lot is monitored and your car will be booted. I don't care about ticking the guy off but he's usually in a huge red Suburban and he's quick on the draw. He's also a 6'2" black guy with dreads and he moves in and out of the store often as if he's ordering something but he's most likely checking to see if you're actually in there. I haven't suffered the fate because I do stay there but I've seen plenty of angry people outside arguing about why they got booted. There's clear signage explaining it so don't say you weren't warned.

Unless you want to wait at least 10-15 minutes in the morning for your drink I would avoid this Starbucks at all cost. I always place mobile orders when I am leaving my apartment on 26th Street, and once I reach this Starbucks on 14th I'm STILL having to wait 5-10 minutes before my drink is prepared. Today after waiting 10+ minutes, I saw the barista prepare my drink and instead of calling my name when it was finished he just sat it behind the counter. So then I had to grab the attention of one of the other scatter brained baristas just to ask if they would give me my drink that was just sitting on a back counter. Honestly this Starbucks continues to disappoint again and again. I would not recommend going at any point during your day.

I like Starbucks; however, I do NOT like this store. The ONLY positive here is that a parking lot exists. Everything else to do with this store is not great. I've even written a complaint to Starbucks personally about the service here. Yet nothing has improved. No one should have to wait 10-15 minutes for a basic coffee drink, let alone a Starbucks fancy drink! I gave this location up, and you should too.

It's a Starbucks, whaddya want? I sometimes think this location has earned the moniker "Sewage Starbucks" because of the way it smells outside whenever I'm meeting someone there. Thankfully, the smell does not seem to find its way into the building. Otherwise, as I said, it's a Starbucks. And during business hours this place is usually packed with a variety of professional folks having semi-professional meetings, conferences, and some variety of caffeinated beverage. And unless you're walking in from one of the many nearby office buildings, parking is tight.

When I lived in DC, I was shocked that L street had 2 Starbucks locations, literally a few blocks from one another. What's up with that? It turns out, in a walking city, a few blocks one way or another makes a big difference, and crossing L street can be a major time suck. Likewise, in this area of ATL you get to choose between this Starbucks (14th & West Peachtree) and the Colony Square Starbucks (14th & Peachtree). Although this location looks tiny, it's not at all. It's pretty large inside, with a really long table for studying/working, a few areas of couches/loveseats, and several small tables. There's a nice outdoor patio too for nicer weather. On the weekends, this Starbucks is peaceful and quiet, a great place to cozy up for a while and read a book (I didn't find too many outlets, so come with devices charged). But on a weekday -- oh boy. This place is SLAMMED with business folk just needing to get out of the office for a while. Literally every spot in the store was taken. The line at 9:30am - which isn't exactly when people wouldn't be grabbing their joe before work- was almost out the door. I waited a long 5 minutes for my drink while I watched all potential seats get snapped up. Unlike the other Midtown locations, this one has a good amount of parking available. There's also free wifi. But best of all, there's an Einstein's next door so I can get my coffee here and sprint next door for some peace and quiet and much better food.

So many things wrong here. Came in to simply study before an appointment. Ordered a drink and oatmeal. Simple right? Nope. Got a double espresso something something something. I said no I ordered oatmeal. So as the cashier just stares at me and said I heard you say a double espresso - something I have actually never had before, another associate proceeds to make the oatmeal. Great - progress. Nope. Received the oatmeal made with very little water. I go back and ask for more hot water. Waited five minutes and was then handed the oatmeal back flowing with cold water. Yep apparently the tasty hot breakfast cereal is served at this location cold. I take it back again and ask them to redo the oatmeal with hot water. The first associate said he could not help me because he was not on oatmeal station. My goodness Starbucks you have graduated to have an oatmeal station. Sounds exciting. The second associate proceeds to pour the cold water out of the original oatmeal and begins to add water again. Another associate says no you can't do that. Make a new one. Hmmm someone with some sense speaks up. Then I am told by the first associate that is not on the 'oatmeal station' the water they have is not at temperature and they can make it again with the same cold water but other wise they did not know what to tell me. As customers get a Sunday morning chuckle around me one says they have been serving oatmeal cold all week. He thinks something I wrong with the pipes. So why not just say that up front Starbucks? Where is a store manager when you need one????

Wow, consistently crummy experience, this location is a mess. Last time I was there, it took me 30 minutes to get me coffee. They were giving bunch of refunds for delays. This time, they who looked like a manager decided that there were "out of decaf" as it was getting crowed and he didn't want to mess with making a cup. So he offered a refund. They had decaf. So it turned out to be a massive waste of time. I don't understand why would I give my loyalty to a brand where my order is not important. It cost me more in a wasted time than the refund i received. Beyond disrespectful.

This is one of the worst Starbucks in town. Went in midday on a Saturday and ordered a latte. Cashier was nice and friendly but then it took a turn for the worst. After ordering, I shuffled over to the pickup area. I started watching people who ordered after me being called and picking up there order. After 10 mins of this, I went up to the counter and asked where my drink was. I was met with a condescending response of 'it's coming'. I responded that everyone else after me had received their drink, to which they responded with sarcasm ' oh I'm so sorry'. 5 mins later and I FINALLY receive my drink to which again with sarcasm they said 'so sorry about that'. So disappointing and the drink wasn't even good. Sad.

This is clearly my favorite Starbucks hands down. The evening staff are my people. I'm in the door and they know what I want. It's definitely a lounge kind of environment. Plug in and zone out working. I've had a grand time interacting with the staff and trying to extend my coffee knowledge.

This is the worst Starbucks. Never clean. Always someone sketch in there...like once I had my laptop stolen. Always disorganized. There will be a line of people and 1 out of 5 baristas taking orders. The drinks are not made correctly. It takes forever to get your order. They need new management desperately.

This Starbucks is conveniently located in the heart of midtown on 14th and West Peachtree. I go here (hate to admit this) 4-5 times a week. The staff are very friendly and diligent about getting orders out in time, and drinks are always consistent. It's a great place to go work from, in fact there's always tons of corporate folks in this Starbucks on their laptops. Two things to note: DO NOT park in this parking lot to go somewhere else other than Starbucks unless you want a boot on your vehicle and a $75 ticket. It's monitored by an unmarked car daily, and the booting company has no affiliation with Starbucks so there isn't anything they can do for you. Also, they are busy in the mornings - so mobile order may be the way to go.

Worse Starbucks I've even been to, poor customer service!! I placed my order and was charged, then I didn't get what I ordered because they said they were out information that should've been given to me by the person taking the order, and instead of helping me out they just told me very rudely to get back into the super long line, didn't ask if I wanted to replace the item with something else or anything. If I could give this Starbucks a minus five stars I would, definitely the WORST customer service ever!!!

Who doesn't like Starbucks, right? There's a variety of coffee and tea drinks you just can't get anywhere else. Plus the pastry case has mouthwatering treats that are a step above. My favorite is the lemon loaf. I guess that's why people tolerate the bad service and total indifference from the baristas. Lines sometimes extend to the door. Of course, using a corporate credit card and not paying for it myself, takes some of the sting away. I dislike visiting this Starbucks.

Ever wonder what it's like to visit this Starbucks on a weekday morning? "Iced COFFEE! GRANDE!" "Quick! Make the interns hold that table for 43 hours for our meeting on Thursday with the new client!" Dudes in suits everywhere! Parking is like warfare! One bathroom for each gender where everyone is doing one thing -- DRINKING LIQUID. "That guy is about to back into that BMW!" Traffic on 14th St going 57mph. LINE OUT THE DOOR. And hey... if you can score a cozy chair or a table, it's like winning the next season of Survivor -- It's a huge point of pride, but no one else really cares. Le sigh.

I came with Jodi to this Starbucks specifically to try the coffee produced by the new Clover brewing system, which has been at this location for a month or so (and isn't available in any other Atlanta Starbucks yet). GADGET-FETISH VIDEO OF THE NEW MACHINE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRPe7fPBeQk WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? First of all, there's a larger selection of beans for Clover-brewed coffee. The selection tonight (and it does change based on availability of crops) ranged from the simple Anniversary Blend and Christmas Blend ($1.95 for a 12oz tall, $2.15 for a 16oz grande) all the way up to Aged Sulawesi Kalosi ($3.95 for a 12oz tall, $4.15 for a 16oz grande). The depth of bean selection rivals that of Octane's. HOW IS IT ANY DIFFERENT FROM REGULAR COFFEE? As noted, Clover-brewed coffee can be a bit more expensive than the stuff brewed by the jugful. And it takes longer to produce than just a pull on the tank spigot; the barista grinds your beans immediately before brewing, and then the machine spends about 90 seconds to turn the ground coffee into a cuppa. WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE? It depends on what you choose. Decaf Christmas blend was unremarkable, though I wasn't expecting otherwise. Iced Kenya ($2.45 for a 12oz tall, $2.65 for a 16oz grande) was multilayered, with distinct initial, middle, and finishing flavors. It was, as I said at the time, the first Starbucks coffee worth actually tasting on its own. Usually the company relies on gimmicky syrups to create flavor. These beans, brewed like this, have a delicious flavor of their own. IS IT WORTH IT? Again, it depends on what you choose. Iced Kenya cost us only 30 cents more than the standard iced coffee of the same size, and was WELL worth the extra expense. The decaf wasn't distinctly different from any other coffee I've had here. If you're accustomed to a latte with syrup-based flavors, and you're trying to make healthier choices, you can spend roughly the same amount of money on a Clover-brewed coffee that has flavor all by itself. Fewer calories, less fat, and better economic support for diversity in coffee varieties -- these are all good things. NU, WHAT ELSE? Other Yelpers have noted the foul smell and relatively microscopic size of the parking lot. Even on a cold Sunday evening, both of these issues were in evidence. But if you do find a parking space, you won't spend much time smelling the air outside. And since there's only one Clover machine, which makes only one cup at a time (at about 90 seconds each), you might be waiting a few minutes. But at peak times, there's a barista dedicated to making Clovers, so you'll be enjoying it fairly quickly. TOO LONG; DIDN'T READ: Definitely try it, but pick an interesting bean.

First off, I hate Starbucks. They grew too quickly, got to "Clicheish", And plain and simple just started to suck. I think ppl that frequent Starbucks are cornballs who are afraid to try anything different (like a local coffee shop). I hate this Starbucks even more because its small as hell, and one of the most uncomfortable places to get any work done. Plain and simple it sucks. The location should be shut down.
