It's bad when you go to the same starbucks twice in a day. I know and I'm currently receiving help. Thing is, I love the location and the fact that the first time I went when I ordered a tall drink and payed for a tall, well, they gave me a Venti. A Venti people! I was escatic so I had to try my luck again later but alas, got what I payed for. Literally. I like the service enough. The place is always clean and there always seems enough space to sit and just get in your zone whether its studying, work, coffee dates.

Pretty consistent and efficient service at this Sbux location...a lost art amongst the Sbux Empire these days...

This place is pretty good. The staff are helpful with the drinks and snacks. They help with recommendations. It's very spacious, so you have the option of staying inside or going outside.

As far as this particular Starbucks goes, they have good service, however one things lacks... their late-night offerings. I was disappointed to find out the other day that although they close at 11pm, they don't serve any hot food past 10pm. Sad.

I am so happy that things have gotten pretty much back to normal in this place. Perhaps that period was one of transition. The service is very quick, friendly, and the place is clean, organized, and inviting. It is still my favorite Sbucks.

This Starbucks is brand new its located on the old Don Carter property. The shopping center is all new. This Starbucks is very big inside and has WIFI hot spots available. The staff was very friendly and fast about our order. The place is very clean. Lots of parking spaces.

So now that Starbucks has become my mobile office stop, I have been able to make it back to this West Kendall location and I am so glad for that because these guys are probably the friendliest Starbucks baristas in Miami. I am always greeted with excellent service here and they are really good at making my cappuccino exactly how I like it. The trick to a good cappuccino is all about the foam, and these boys sure do it right! I would never say that any Starbucks ever beats the local coffee roasting mom and pop shops, but as a Starbucks this one is for sure top notch.

All in all, this is a pretty typical Starbucks. My only complaint is that the outside seating area was dirty. This was also not the first time we have seem it like that. No excuse for having it that way.

My local Starbucks happens to be this one. It never fails that whenever I come here there is not a line. I could come here in the middle of the morning rush and there is not a long line. If there happens to be one the line goes so fast. The barista here are extremely friendly and ask for your order right when you walk in. Sometimes my order is ready before I even get to pay. What I love about here is the ample amount of space to sit. You can come here and read, study, or talk with friends without feeling cramped.

This local Starbucks is pretty great as far as Starbucks go. The barrista's know their regular customers and aren't too chatty or too standoffish. The facility is always clean and well-lit, which makes it a good place to do work. The only down-side is that the outlets under the bar on the floor don't work so you can't plug in your computer to charge it - who puts outlets in the way of mops?

This Starbucks is alright. There are worse ones. The layout is not my favorite and the parking kind of sucks. I don't like that they block the restrooms with trash cans and chairs before closing (anywhere between 5 and 20 minutes prior) Im assuming because they've cleaned them and don't want us to dirty them up. Some of the Baristas are kind and others are just mute. Not a peep out of them which is kind of rude but its Sbux so whatever. Some of the tables need repair and the place isnt always clean or the condiments stocked so 3 stars it is.

Okay so you can find a starbucks on almost any corner but this one has great baristas, knowledgeable and friendly. Great place to hang out have a chat or catch up on some reading on your tablet while having a great cup of coffee. Recently I was their and the barista working at the time mentioned you can now have Coconut Milk with your lattes. The combination with the Flan Latte available now is just too good for words!!! THANK YOU barista for that awesome tip. Some of my favs are the; Pumpkin Spice, Creme Brule, Gingerbread and now of course the Flan. I know they have a Tiramisu but im sure its great too. Besides their great coffee making the staff is always attentive and friendly. Cleanliness is always on par and I never have issues with seating. Granted it gets busy but if you're willing to wait and enjoy your coffee surely you'll find seats become available.

I love this Starbucks location. The staff is awesome, there are plenty of tables inside and outside, and plenty of easy to find parking in the huge shopping center parking lot. The one downside is that there's no drive through here, and sometimes on a rainy day you just want a Starbucks fix without sacrificing your good hair day and/or waking up your sleeping kid in the back seat, you know?

Antonio A.
Nice baristas. Yummy drinks. Typical wait time (5-10 minutes) even with no one in line. Usually most seats are taken up but either way I always take it to go when I come to this location. Coffee from Sbucks, Chocolate Chip Cookie from Pei Wei ($1 and MUCH tastier than SB's) Tip: in the plaza with the Walgreens next to Chipotle and Pei Wei. Why 4 stars and not 5? Because although friendly, the Baristas are usually in conversation with eachother and take a little too long for my simple Iced Americano, black.

Great teas and coffee, better service. Everyone very attentive, friendly and always paying attention to the clients orders, never noticed a mistake with an order. I am not a coffee person but enjoy coming here. The relaxing atmosphere, the free wifi, the great products. All make a very nice place to have either a hot coffee or white chocolate to start the day or a refreshing cold mix in the hot afternoon. A place to unwind and relax completing some work or homework in the laptop.

This location is great except for the parking. Parking here is a cluster and the streets to enter/exit on are always a mess. The location is great for studying and has plenty of power sources just expect a delay when trying to get out of here and on your way.

It's rare that I ever get out this far in the Miami suburbs. This is the land of endless cookie cutter homes and soulless strip malls. But in some of those strip malls (like this one) it's always nice to see the familiar face of Starbucks. And one thing I really like about suburban Starbucks is that they are comfortable, not crowded and have plenty of space....especially this one. And with good customer service too, if in the area, I'd make a pit stop again.

Last night the Starbucks on 136 and Kendall Drive, hosted a series of live music to what seem to be one of the best alternative Rock shows to hit the very un-trendy 88. I have to admit, when I first heard of them doing this I was a bit on the doubtful edge, but the torn out was pretty great for a non alcoholic event. Who knew that you could jam to a live rock show and have a cup of joe at the same time! Let's make it a habit!

Hey I'm the gringo that used to come in every day...now it's been restricted to once every week since I moved...Javier is a kickass manager, always in positive spirits and always says hi. Juan, Adam, Nick, J.C. and the rest of the gang are also very cool. Again, I'm the dude that comes in and orders the tall coffee, all the time, no creamer, no sugar....crazy right? But I can't get my caffeine fix any other way..

I have to say - I'm impressed with this Starbuck's customer service. The employees are professional, friendly and quick at making your drink. There's nothing better than good and quick service at 7 in the morning when you're rushing to work but you HAVE to have your Starbuck's fix. Aside from always ordering my fave drink (White Chocolate Mocha), another plus is that they always have my favorite sandwich in stock - the Roasted Tomato and Mozzarella sandwich - I love the flavors of the roasted tomato (that gives it a sweet flavor), the cheesy mozz, spinach and pesto! That's amore!

I love my Starbucks in the morning, but that can very quickly change when they take over 10 min to serve my drink. I've only been to this Starbucks a couple of times and it always seems to be crowed with just 2 employees. The girl at the registry taking all the orders plus taking care of the pastry session and just one barista. The girl was doing an excellent job trying to get orders quickly but the barista was just taking his sweet time with every drink. By the way, this was at 7.30am on a weekday, they should know better and have at least 1 or 2 more employees since this is a high traffic hour for them.

Here at 9:45pm on a Tuesday. Went to order my coffee and the barista did not say a word. We ordered our coffee, he made them, and gave them to us with no sleeve. I asked for a sleeve and he gave us the sleeve. Still have no idea what his voice sounds like. What happened to the friendly "Hi! Welcome to Starbucks!?" On a brighter note, I am enjoying the free wifi as a I write this review from the large outside area.

I have been to many Starbucks in my time, here in Miami, all over the US - all over the world, in fact. This, by far, is one of the best! I have to agree with most of what others have written. Its in a great location, a lot of parking, a lot of space, tables inside and out, great and friendly staff. I have never had a problem getting a table and enjoy relaxing here about once a week, catching up on work. Way to go!
