Starbucks Coffee Company

This Manhattan spot serves the standard lineup of espresso and pastries, but customers should expect a terribly crowded space with long waits during peak hours. Early morning visits can be unpredictable, with the counter sometimes running out of key ingredients like brown sugar by 7:00 a.m. While the strawberry açaí lemonade is well-regarded, quick food items like the egg and pesto sandwich can feel overpriced for their size. Service is highly inconsistent, ranging from helpful staff to contentious interactions at the doors.
