The space is absolutely lovely and comfortable. The staff has always been on point when it comes to their service. Even when busy, they are time efficient and just as friendly if there were only 1 customer. It's definitely my favorite Starbucks in the Columbus area. Whenever I'm in Dublin and needing Starbucks, this is my absolute stop.

I love this Starbucks location, over others because of the bridge street view.

Loved the drink, absolutely delicious! One thing though, the girl who served me seemed angry at me or something... She was very impersonal and curt. Displeased.

I do appreciate that when I'm traveling I know I can find a Starbucks and get a pretty good cup of Joe. They are consistent, I know what I want and it always tastes the same. This time of each they brew the Christmas blend which is my personal favorite of the whole year. I wanted it a little sweet so I asked the friendly barista which flavored syrup she suggest. She said the Cinnamon Dulce and promised if I didn't like it she'd make me something else. Well I loved it! I think this will be my go to coffee for as long as they brew the Christmas blend. This location had a whole room filled with coaches, tables and chairs. There's was a good amount of seating. The service was friendly and helpful. The only thing I didn't love here was that it was difficult to get in and out of this location. The store layout was also a bit awkward to walk through a bunch of tables and chairs to get to the door which was also crowded. To get in here to park, take a Right at High St. Then take your next right and there's a parking lot for all those street front shops. There's a side entrance to Starbucks, so you don't have to walk around to the front. Overall the friendly barista and her great suggestion would bring me back here if I ever find myself in this area of town again. (Columbus is my second home).

Great location and consistent Starbucks quality beverages and food. I usually get the hot drinks but my son ordered a cold coffee drink that I tried - will be getting more of those in the future! Lots of seating in or outside. Clean. Great for casual meetings. I only wish they had a drive-thru for when I do not want to get out of my car.

I don't usually take the time to rate major chains, but I love this Starbucks! The baristas are super friendly and take the time to get to know their patrons. Parking is sort of a nightmare, but it's worth it.

I call this my Cheers...where everyone knows your name. I have been to Starbucks all over Ohio, Florida, Texas, California, Kentucky, West Virginia, and many more states... this Starbucks is the best. As other reviewers indicated, there is plenty of parking and the atmosphere is great. The best part of this Starbucks, however, are the baristas - super friendly and treat everyone as if they know them.

First, a disclaimer: I'm former management in the Starbucks company, so I have higher standards as Starbucks go. (Sometimes makes it harder to enjoy the experience when you know how the proverbial "sausage is made.") The Starbucks in historic Dublin is fine, but there are way better shops within a few-minute drive. The drink preparation is fine, but SLOW. *So* slow. And I have been here probably 15-25 times, so it's not really the case of one barista having an off-day. I've had more than one experience where I either had to wait for a super long time (in Starbucks terms) for the barista who was drudging through drinks at a snail's pace, one beverage at a time; or I ordered something made a specific way, only to be told that was the "wrong way to make" it in a weird, smiley, passive aggressive way. No thanks. Environment-wise, I'm not crazy about this location either. Starbucks should always feel like the "third place:" meaning, you have home, you have work, and you have Starbucks. It should be inviting and low key, and a place where you feel like you can kick back, do work, read, chat, normal coffee shop stuff. This location is tiny, busy/loud, and laid out in an awkward format. If you're fortunate enough to find someplace to sit, you have to push your way back through the line to get there, and even then you always feel some pressure to leave pretty soon because someone else will want the table. It's not relaxing, and I've never felt like it's a place where I can kick back and do coffee shop-type things. If you absolutely need a Starbucks fix, or if you work in the immediate area, this location is fine. If you have time, or have a choice, you're better off heading for the nearby Sawmill location. I've found the staff there to be far more low-key and approachable, the baristas are up to par, and the seating situation is much better.

Fast service, pleasant baristas, ample parking. This Starbucks is a good one. For all their efforts to maintain a uniform corporate structure, you can't get around the fact that some Starbucks are better than others. It depends heavily on the baristas, who can either be pretentious jerks or friendly helpers. The staff here is the latter - they're happy, quick, courteous, and not weird. What higher compliment can I pay? There's lots of nice seating here on different levels, both inside and out. Parking is plentiful in the back lots.

Really nice Starbuck's here. Free parking out behind the store in the public lot. Plenty of space inside to relax, plus some outdoor seating for that little European feel. Staff have always been cordial and fast paced here and I too notice a little inconsistency with their coffee drinks, but still one of my favorite indulgences.

I'm not going to rate the coffee - that would be ridiculous. It's Starbucks... the coffee is the same wherever you go. What I'll say about this place is that it has enough space to do some work, hang out, read a book, and it even has a patio outside with 4 tables to sit at. It can get a little loud outside with the cars going by, but still, it's nice to be able to sit outside at a Starbucks, which is pretty rare. Finally, I'll just add that the service is great. The staff they hire here are better than any SBUX I've ever been to. Always warm welcomes, people remember you, and you never find a staff member in a bad mood.

There are many Starbucks locations in Columbus that I order coffee from based on the consistency of drink, the speed of service, the location, the friendliness of the staff, and the overall efficiency of the large chain. My favorites: Tuttle Mall location, Bexley location, Easton outdoor, Drive-Thru on Bethel Rd. and the Westerville Rd. Starbucks. I've visited the Dublin location many times, and while the coffee taste isn't completely out of sync with my favorite locations, drinks do not measure up in quality or consistency. Additionally, the location doesn't seem purposeful for the Historic Dublin district's communal development, and this Starbucks seems to cast shadows on many of the eclectic, independent businesses in the area. In my opinion, the small-town feel is muddled by the large-chain presence, and after talking to many local business owners that also serve quality beverages, it seems that my discernment holds true. Many independent businesses feel intimidated by the Starbucks on Bridge Street, and struggle to attract attention to their shop because of the large chain hype. Additionally, I noticed that the Starbucks on Bridge does not support Dublin's culture in the same way the small business do. Starbucks does not support local arts, offer SBB discounts, put on causes for underprivileged groups, or promote complementing small businesses services in the area. They don't even have a community bulletin board. In this way, I would rather support Dublin's culture, the small coffee/tea shops in Historic Dublin, as opposed to the Starbucks on Bridge.

So I'm pretty sure it's anti-Yelp to review something as quintessential "evil corporate chain" as Starbucks. Well, too freaking bad. The staff here are even more friendly and fun than the other Starbucks in the area. Only gripes are it's always too damned cold (but coming from Phoenix anything below 60 is "freezing" to me) and the wifi (both T-Mobile and ATT are available) isn't free. Other than that, great place to study and an even greater place to procrastinate studying by playing with all the neighborhood pups.

HUGE Starbucks with plenty of seating!! Only one problem, where do you park? there is little to no parking! it took me quite some time to park which isn't that great for people coming in before their work day. Putting that aside, when i finally got inside there was absolutely no wait which was great! must have gotten their after the morning rush. Coffee was good, hardly ever run into a bad coffee from Starbucks tho! Staff was friendly and quick to make my drink. i probably will not return to this location simply because of the lack of parking. But hey there are plenty of other locations in which i can go.

Very friendly staff. As others have noted, it's a bit ridiculous to rate Starbucks on the food/coffee; it's standardized across the country. But this Starbucks has fabulous staff: friendly, quick, welcoming.

I think this is one of the best Starbucks locations I've visited. It's charming with plenty of seating. The coffee is just as good as any other Starbucks. I can see though how some may not like it's presence in the area given how the other stores all seem to be non-corporate.... But the way Jeni's Ice Cream is growing rapidly to more and more locations, it's hard not to call it a corporate business anymore.
