I have always loved this particular Starbucks located in downtown providence next to the citizens bank. This is my favorite Starbucks location because every-time I walked into that Starbucks the baristas were always super nice and always got my drink right. I usually go in there to get my free drink after every 12 stars but I also go to chat with one of my friends from school. He has been working there for a bit and he's a really nice guy. I went into Starbucks today to try the new s'mores frapp and use my free coffee. Totally worth my free coffee because the s'mores frapp is so good and everything tastes better free right. But I love going to that spot. Hope to go back soon before the end of the trimester. Keep up the great work Starbucks I am a gold member for life and Starbucks coffee is my drink of choice any day of the week.

Love the staff at this Starbucks! Despite the afternoon rush everyone is always so friendly. And somehow remember the regular coffee addicts.

Location: fantastic place to sit outside and take in the city, but a pain the in beans to find parking (you MIGHT find a meter two blocks away). Staff: friendly and fast (very understanding when I do the "I know there is a line forming but I swear I have exact change in here somewhere!" dance). Lunch: yes: some sandwiches (egg salad, tomato/tomato) and other drinks (sparkling juice, milk, canned coffee) available. Not much room to in IN the shop (which as free wi-fi), but there are a few in the adjacent atrium, or if it's a nice day: sit outside! Coffee: (duh) - fast turn-around on the order, too! Revolving door at the entrance: yes! (this is a perk in my book)

Exceptionally friendly and courteous employees here this evening. Love the peaceful gallery for enjoying a book and coffee this rainy night. Yummy mocha!

Place is filled with very nice people working there. Very good yumi stuff, and always go back for more.

This delightful little Starbucks is tucked away in a corporate center, so we just stumbled across it, as it did not show up on my Yelp search. It is very convenient to the Marriott Downtown as well as close to the College Street Bridge. High ceilings, windows facing a cute little plaza with benches for outdoor seating, very friendly staff. And of course, all your favorite beverages. So glad we found it!

This is my weakness nearly every morning. I walk by this cozy (ok ok tiny) Starbucks, it calls my name like some unsavory character from South Providence "psssh Jamie, come get your fix". I admit I am too weak to resist :( In I go and I am greeted by the friendly barista whom I am embarrassed to admit knows my name but I don't know hers. Without saying a word she whips out a tall cold cup, scribbles my order and whisks away to fill my cup with my drug of choice. I scan my phone which of course auto-reloads my starbucks account, satisfying my craving for the day. It's perfection every time. They know I'll be back tomorrow.

I think I go to Starbucks not just for their drinks but also for its atmosphere and people-The people who work their are generally nice and friendly and one of them even know me by my name! (although it's true I go here like 3~4 times a week) If Starbucks' coffee tasted little better I would give a 4, but unfortunately their coffee is pretty poor in terms of its taste and depth. Their coffees are generally overly roasted and I don't think the beans they use are very high quality..But, their other non-coffee drinks are overall good such as black tea latte, very berry hibiscus, lemongrass green tea, etc. Some of the food they offer are okay too although they are not exceptionally good or anything but A-OK-

I love going to this Starbucks. I hit it up every morning before work. The morning staff here is the reason why I keep coming back. The drinks are what you would expect from your local Starbucks. The only downside is that you are not going to get your traveling mug here. They don't sell any cups or espresso machines here. If you are going to Starbucks for 'accessories', head to the Biltmore right down the street.

When I first moved to Providence, I thought the only Starbucks was the one in the Biltmore. I was stuck waiting in lines that went on for days with snooty tourists. I was so excited when I found this location! Buh-bye Biltmore patrons! This is my favorite Starbucks in Providence. The staff are friendly and always willing to redo anything that's not exactly right. If you're downtown and in the mood for Starbucks, I suggest going to this location over the others.

Like most of the the towering (well, for Providence, anyway) office buildings that surround it, this Starbucks is clean, efficient, and completely lacking in personality. There is very little to say about the decor, the staff, or the drinks. This may derive from the fact that its clientele seems to consist mainly of businesspeople on the go (as well as the occasional stray, confused RISD student). This means that the shop is usually empty. Unfortunately, however, the bulk of the seating area is contained within the lobby of the office building adjacent to the store. This both breaks it off from the remainder of the seating and gives it an unsettling, clinical feel. It is easy to see why people don't hang around here.
