No matter how long the line may be chances are it's going to move fast and you're going to get your coffee really soon. Here is the main issue though, you can ask for the same white chocolate mocha every day and it will be different according to who's making it. I would've thought it was the same ingredients that everybody had to follow, but that's definitely not the case at this store. Sorry, but I'm going to be super picky if Im paying almost 5 dollars for a small cup of coffee.

As far as Starbucks goes, this is the worst one. It is a pretty shady part of town and the service and parking is terrible. It feels like someone will be shot at any minute by going to this very overpopulated Starbucks. I would avoid this particular location unless you absolutely need to go here!!

In love with this Starbucks! Close to home and it's always been the best one I have ever visited by far. I used to visit on and off and I always liked it, but now since i have a more daily job and a more on -the-go life style, caffeine is a must. I went ahead and started myself with the Starbucks memberships and I visit here almost every day. To start, the drinks are always made to perfection. Frappes, teas, coffees, you name it, and they're all great. My personal favorites would be a Venti Caramel Macchiato for a busy day at work or a Venti Jade Citrus Mint tea for a calm drink. The employees there are what make this Starbucks like none other. Every employee has a great attitude and are always super friendly no matter what time of day. They remember names and always make great conversation with their guests. They are super efficient and know exactly how to handle the rushes of people that come through the doors. Having a bad day? Go ahead and just visit to be surrounded by positivity! The actual place is very homey and cozy. There are desks to study or just enjoy a drink with friends. The place offers incredibly fast wifi and an awesome playlist of music each day.

Decent atmosphere like most Starbucks, but the service here is never that great. I sometimes feel rushed and the baristas are very unhelpful. I do enjoy that there is a place to sit most of the time. It's a noisier location, so it's great for meetings with clients where you don't want everyone around you to hear your conversation.

So I have been visiting this Starbucks more recently, and decided to raise my review up a star. I have seen a great improvement in terms of drink quality, and they seem to have new staff members that are extremely nice. Yes, they close a little early. Yes, there is almost always a line. However, they seem to be making improvements. However, I still do think Starbucks should look into purchasing a larger location in the area!

Typical, convenient, and just any/everything you would expect from a Starbucks. There are GREAT Starbucks locations, there are BAD Starbucks locations and then there are TYPICAL Starbucks locations. I would qualify this location as a typical Starbucks. They have convenient outdoor seating and indoor seating. You can tell that this location caters more to the workers and commuters than to those who want to cozy up with a good book and cup of coffee... In the mornings the line inside is hit or miss. You can walk in at the same exact time 5 days in a row and have no line, a short line or a line of 10 people in front of you. The staff is very friendly at this location, but you can tell that once the line gets over 5 people deep they get a little flustered. The seating inside is mostly hightop tables, and a bar area. I believe there are only two comfy couches. In the mornings and afternoons you see more adults working on their laptops or reading the paper. Again, the environment does not cater to those who want to read or chit chat with friends. The coffee is typical Starbucks coffee and the baristas range from OK to Great. My usual Grande Skinny Mocha with 2 Splendas is never the same between different Baristas. What makes this Starbucks is the location and convenience. There is no drive through, but you can park, get your coffee, and keep on going... Isn't that the name of the Starbucks game?

They have done some renovations to the place. Friday nights are usually crowded with high school kids. Best time to go is 6am to beat traffc

Really enjoyed this Starbucks. Very chill atmosphere, not very crowded, service was good, the coffee was great. Not a lot of tables, but it's a nice place to hang out and do homework, read a book, or just enjoy your coffee.

I love Starbucks since I am a coffee freak but I also love breakfast. This location does not have any of those breakfast wraps or sandwiches. I work nearby and it would be great to get coffee and breakfast there in the morning. Good thing there are a couple of places nearby to grab a decent meal (einsteins, latin cafe). The service is ok and they do have everything else on the menu. It can get crowded in the mornings between 7-8.

Located in a busy strip mall, but usually the parking is still ok. Ample seating inside and outside.

This Starbucks is close to home, so it's very convenient...however what makes this Starbucks even better is their staff. The employees have a great attitude and are always friendly, no matter how early you go there. I find myself taking my daughter before dropping her at her high school. The employees make the best drinks and always tend to remember the names of their every day guests, making their experience more personable. I strongly recommend making this your neighborhood Starbucks!

Convinient, fast & friendly caffeine deliverence!! Parking is insane during the week, prepare to circle around, luckily not for too long since most people are in and out.

I really have no complaints. This Starbucks is around the corner from my house, and I always get the same thing. I always order my grande skinny caramel macchiato with 3 Splenda and the turkey bacon breakfast sandwich. I'm not too much of a coffee aficionado like my boyfriend is. I just need my pick me ups once a week. We like coming here because we use the wifi and we we also bring our beagle to accompany is. The staff is friendly and my drink and food are always prepared the same way. No complaints here.

The baristas are super friendly. The service is good. The location is excellent. Only problem is the place always smells musty like mop-water. Good thing is there is outdoor seating.

Used the mobile app to place my order. I ordered coffee and a bistro box. When my coffee came up, they handed me the coffee without the bistro box. When I inquired about the Bistro box, the barista asked a co worker. Her response was less than lackluster. She begrudgingly left her post, stormed around the corner to get my bistro box. She was not happy. She was a shorter girl with dyed black hair. Nice attitude lady. I finally apologized to her for having to come out from behind the counter to get the box. She still wasn't happy and didn't soften. Mobile ordering is supposed to make things simpler. Service with a snarl at this Starbucks.

My favorite starbucks in this area. Always friendly staff, perfectly made orders and the few times they've gotten the order wrong, they have fixed it without an issue or an attitude. My favorite staff shift is the morning staff, they always remember my name with my face!!

If I could give this Starbucks a negative star I would. There is almost always a line, the girls behind the counter are so chatty that they don't help the customers. The garbage cans are overflowing with garbage on the floor... And the girls behind the counter continue to chat and giggle. I'm not saying that one should not have fun at work, but they should at least get their customers orders right. And they seem to never have dark roast coffee brewed. Like in the morning during the 8am rush, the afternoon at the 5pm drive home... Not liking this Starbucks at all.

I know what you're saying...Sergio , 5 stars for a Starbucks in Hialeah? Well see I have this list "Late Night Gourmet" which takes into account businesses that are awesome outside normal hours of food consumption. This SB is one of those, specifically around 6:20AM, as I headed into my office for a marathon 36 Hour deadline. At 620 in the morning, I was able to get my venti iced latte and just as importantly, my sweet, soft and pillowy Mallorca bread! Emily the cashief was kind enough to chitchat and be my sole human interaction outside my coworkers for those two allnighter days, even when I wasn't Mr. GQ having slept (at most one hour) in my office and all and not having a change of clothes LOL.

So I had to meet a couple of clients here this evening and had a nice time. I was nervous about coming here because my last memories of this place (at least 4 years ago) were of a loud, crowded room filled to the brim with teenagers and dudes with guitars (acoustic songs were really in at the time), not to mention a line passed the front door to get coffee. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived and not only were there tables available, but it was quiet, no childlike behaviors to tolerate, and no long lines. There were people here but nothing crazy. I was able to talk business with minimal interruptions. Great. The only thing about this particular location is that the parking lot is always a little chaotic. Cars zoom back and fourth, some double-park with their hazards on directly in front of the main entrance. Also the exit to miami lakes drive is a little ways from the starbucks so cars come in pretty fast.

As a daily customer at this location, I feel it imperative that everyone knows how great the staff and coffee is at the Starbucks in Miami Lakes.
