Typical starbucks except there is no drive thru and the parking is horrible. There are minimal spots that are almost always full around lunchtime.

I have been to almost all the Starbucks in St. Petersburg/Largo/Clearwater area. This is not solely due to the fact that I love Starbucks, but because I travel throughout the county for my job and need a place to work in between meetings. This is my favorite Starbucks in St. Petersburg. Most Starbucks serve the same drinks/food, so my favor of this one is based on three main reasons. 1. It is in a great central location and easy to get to. A little outside of downtown St. Petersburg, you can easily get to 275 or stay on 4th St. to travel to other parts of Pinellas County. 2. They have a bar with stools by a window, so there is almost always a guaranteed place to work if you are by yourself. Each seat even has an electrical outlet. 3. There is free parking. However, the lack of parking spaces is why I take away one star. Sometimes the entire lot is filled. Try to avoid those busy times (lunch time, right after work, etc.).

This is my favorite Starbucks! Always fast service even if the line is long. The people working here are always nice to me, asking me how I'm doing, etc. A lot of students hang out here and do their work. When sitting outside no homeless people have ever approached me. Downtown location this ALWAYS happens when seated outside.

The pluses: Good sized dining room. Great, friendly staff. Great outdoor seating. Close to downtown. And it's frequented by many of my friends (I know you don't care)! The negatives: Parking is difficult (Small for several businesses). It's so busy that it frequently feels messy. No drive-thru. Not my fav St. Pete Starbucks, but not a bad choice if you're on that side of town.

I really like this location it's easy to get in and out of. They have a lot of seating inside and outside. No drive-thru but the staff is so awesome it's worth going in. Logan is extremely nice he really helped me out this morning when my app on my phone wasn't cooperating.

Good coffee and a staff that makes me smile every time I stop in! A little busy in the AM, expected, but the 10 min waits bump off a star. I STILL LOVE YOU GUYS!!! :-D

So this Starbucks is as good as any other SB as far as quality is concerned.My coffee was good, the environment was nice and the whole place was clean. The big problem with this place is parking. It was awful. I had to drive around a few times before there was a spot open and even then I felt like I got lucky to get it. Would have gotten 4 stars, but parking sucks.

Great "neighbourhood" Starbucks. Some of the SB shops have become kind of cold and sterile. This one located in North St. Pete is warm and welcoming, cozy with a neighbourhood coffee shop "feeling" as the original owners intended.

Was there about noon today. Have no car, so their small eternally-packed parking lot does not affect me. Ideal bike-ride stop north of Downtown St Pete, at busy intersection of two bus routes. Immediate friendly service as soon as I walked in. Comfy window seating to quietly unwind with a cup while watching the world go by. Several outdoor tables with umbrellas right on the corner, a very pleasant place to read or do the laptop.

After speaking to the district manager I felt compelled to write an update. My wife always says the only thing that beats a failure is a try and I believe there are attempts being made to bring this location up to par.

I probably won't make it a habit of reviewing restaurant or coffee chains on Yelp, but I wanted to make an exception for this particular Starbucks because the employees here are really fantastic. Every time I visit, no matter how groggy, incoherent, or rushed I am--the baristas are always friendly and their pleasant demeanor is like an extra pick-me-up on top of the caffeinated deliciousness that I purchased that day. The new remodeling is great too! It seems to be a much better usage of space! Speaking of space, I've read a lot of reviews that knock down stars due to the parking situation that they can't really do anything about. They are on a busy street on the edge of a neighborhood, that's just the nature of the area I feel. If you want more of a parking challenge, try for the one downtown! Or if you want easier parking, try the one further north on the same street. Its Starbucks, if you've been driving in circles because the lot's full, you can drive 5 minutes to the next one. Just PLEASE don't be one of those people that sit in their car and decide to make a phone call, do their taxes, clip their nails, or whatever after picking up a coffee. Be courteous of other people trying to park and move out! /end rant. ;) So, the explanation for not giving it full 5 stars, I really think they should put some sort a railing or one of those metal dividing "fences" along their patio area like you see at other Starbucks. Sometimes one can feel a bit insecure sitting so close to traffic, so for this reason I try to avoid sitting outside at this location. :/

A tough parking lot to enter and exit, but a quick trip through with friendly baristas after that!

I used to be a huge coffee shop snob, but I keep coming back to this Starbucks location because the employees are so cool. They're super nice, chatty, and remember your name after a few visits. The new re-design is nice, too. One star off for parking... but that's the price you pay for a conveniently-located shop.

This Starbucks is a little difficult to get into due to the small and busy parking lot. It also does not have a drive-thru. However, they are always very fast and efficient on the inside. We have never had service issues at this location. I typically order an Iced Vanilla Chai and it comes out perfectly mixed (it can be grainy if done incorrectly) and delicious every time.
