My first trip to this Starbucks has to be one of the best I have ever had. All of the baristas were so caring and nice, they really made buying coffee an enjoyable experience. My go to coffee is just the regular hot brewed coffee with caramel syrup instead of sugar. The barista taking the order had such a pleasant attitude. He asked me what kind of coffee I wanted- they have a blonde, a medium and a dark roast. I have been to many Starbucks and have never been asked what kind of brewed coffee I wanted, so I thought that was sweet. The barista also asked me how many pumps of caramel I wanted- again, I have never been asked this before, and I loved it. For me it's the little things that get me. This Starbucks is kind of out of my way, but I will sincerely try to frequent it often!

Some very good staff, and yep, there's nothing wrong with the drinks. It's a very gay area, and the place is known as a gay pickup joint, so occasionally the local guys will leave gay pickup magazines and soft core gay porn on the tables, but staff usually polices this up pretty quickly. My pet peeve is this place apparently ground zero for the fake "service dog" movement. I love dogs, but I don't like dogs climbing on furniture in restaurants and I don't like people with fake service dogs or poorly-trained "therapy animals" ruining things for people with bona fide disabilities. The staff expresses zero interest in enforcing health codes... no doubt afraid of getting in trouble. But the ADA does not require businesses to tolerate 'therapy' animals or poorly trained or disruptive animals. This is particularly important in a food service area and it's very off-putting. Managers should review what the Americans With Disabilities Act requires and does not require, and sprout some backbone.

It's a Starbucks. Nothing exceptional. Very busy, parking always a problem. Is ready for a redecoration/renovation. Thee customer base could stand a bit of renovating as well.

This neighborhood gathering spot has proved to be a consistent all-time favorite with those in "the know." The patio has tendency to get very busy during the afternoon and on weekends (weather permitting). Morning rush hour is very hectic, so prepare (and allocate time accordingly). The staff is always attentive, quick, and personable. Their ability to create the specialty drinks Starbucks has perfected is really top-notch. This is definitely one place you should add to your list of "places to come" when thinking of things to do when entertaining visiting guests. Hope to see you there!

Let's talk about the parking first. You can never get a spot! There's no drive through here, but this place doesn't need one because it's such a pick up joint. This place is full of hot gay men who's thing is to hang out with other hot gay men that like to slide their little hot gay fingers all over their iPads and other technological things that keep them connected. Mostly everyone in this joint is surfing on Grindr while sipping a tall macchiato. The barista's are nice and work at warp speed. I would really love to see a drive through window at this place. If not, bigger parking might work.

Super busy Starbucks - get in early for an outdoor table.The place is always busy, which is a good thing. The staff is super friendly and very efficient. It's not your typical city Starbucks where you look to rush in and rush out, but more your neighborhood Starbucks, where peole tend to stay and linger...has a nice local feel to it.

Great spot for some local flavor. My only disappointment is the outdoor seating - limited, typically in the baking south FL sun, and full of smokers. People still smoke? Who knew.

They did not build Rome in a day..."Roma" for those that know the real name. This afternoon after 3 weeks a workman showed up to fix/replace/mix and match the broken down outdoor lighting fixtures. One was so torn up it was missing the cover and exposed wires were at children's length. I asked the workman about the choice of colors but his first language was not English. I don't know if the man was colorblind or some special top level sr executive picked the combination. The old rusted base pole is sun washed out white, while the new top replacements are glossy black. Another glaring problem is the cheap wood plank painted black which is just above the front door. Just goes to show you how people can come everyday and not notice this rat entry for midnight So many guest that visit our in neighborhood Starbucks simply have things on their minds, not paying attention to the quality we respect ... Trash off neighbors yards , rats heaven because of the 8 holes into the roof and soffett , it's a homeless paradise in the dumpsters behind the store and leaking filthy drinks pouring out of the holes of the plastic bags left laying on the ground instead of taking two seconds to place them inside the large dumpster. Today wed. 12th more outside contractors were putting this shabby sum into proper order. Rat entrances covered up, roof for animals and rats are being patched it the parking lots looks like a walmart on a bad day... Beer cans, coke cans, cig butts! Gross. Inside it's. Clean. Outside is shambles .

Love this location. The staff is friendly and the service is top notch; however, I can't give it five stars because of...THE PARKING The parking lot is entirely too small to accommodate the amount of people coming in and out of this store. Every time I come, chances are that 9 out 10 times I have to park elsewhere and pay for parking because there are never any spots. Aside from that, one of the best Starbucks.

5 star they are great sometimes go above and beyond by bringing ice cubes for my dogs water. not enough parking like everything in wilton manors. WARNING DONT PARK ALONG SIDE OF BUILDING I PARKED THERE RAN IN TO GET COFFEE ONLY TO COME OUT WITH $94 TICKET FROM WILTON MANORS. hope fully they use the money wisely. 8 people have been run over and killed by cars this summer. If my $94 dollars goes to saving a life its well worth it but im sure it wont. the city had taken a stance that wilton drive ie wilton manors is not a pedestrian cite so instead of fining drivers for not maintain control of there vehicles they have taken an assault on jay walking, even though you could walk 2 block out of the way to get to the other side of the street.. WILTON MANORS NEEDS TO FIX THIS

Love this Starbucks. Although they tend to get very busy at peak hours during weekdays, the staff there makes it worth going. They are friendly and obviously trying to perform at their best and fastest.

This is not your typical Starbucks. What sets this Starbucks apart from others is its decidedly gay customer base, generally easier going more laid-back ambience along with a very nice outdoor patio area. Being located within the very much gay oriented confines of the City of Wilton Manor in a location previously occupied by Dorothy's (read "Friends of Dorothy") Deli the customer base has continued to be decidedly gay male. However, like all of the Wilton Manor business establishments it is not, as I so often hear as being "straight friendly," but more accurately people friendly; a welcoming respite to all regardless of who or what they may be. That of course may come with certain caveats attached. I'm sure that if you are Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Michele Bachmann, Richard (as in dick head) Santorum, the likes thereof, of that ilk, or any other person with a known reputation for espousing hatred in any form, but more particularly gay hatred, or of a strong homophobic bent, this particular Starbucks might not prove to be the most comfortable of settings. Other than that, it's pretty much like any other Starbucks, being clean, orderly and well run.

Time to kill in Wilton Manors? This is pretty much the place to go. Yeah, I know. Trust me, I know. From what I could see on a weekend morning, this is an extremely popular Starbucks. Even so, parking did not seem to be a problem. The staff was very competent and quick....ordered an iced coffee, and it seemed to present itself on the counter before I was even able to pull a couple bills out of the wallet. Still, even if I lived near this area, this probably wouldn't be my Starbucks simply because there aren't many women here. I felt like fresh meat while sitting at a small table in the middle of the very-crowded patio, reading my copy of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo for the upcoming Yelp Miami book club. My plan was to make an exaggerated show of openly ogling any woman to pass by, just so all the dudes out there wouldn't get the wrong idea.

This Starbuck is pretty popular as it's often hard to find parking despite having parking lots flanked on both sides of the building. And as for the ambience, it's cool, laid-back, and comfortable. Much more cozier than the other Starbucks I've been to. The patio may have helped with this sentiment.

With the help of my handy-dandy Starbucks Locator App on my iPhone, I was able to find this location. It is fairly new and it shows; be careful though as it appears that there are still some issues with parking lot being under construction. The construction doesn't help in this case as it is already a fairly small parking lot. Ingress and egress can also be somewhat difficult due to this Starbucks being so close to an irregular 5-point intersection that does tend to get backed up from time to time. As with most other chains, this Starbucks does live up to its namesake and produces a good product at a good price. The people that work hear are nice and the other patrons are nice -- a tad loud, though. If you are looking to seat yourself anywhere, you may have an issue as the seats are quite often full. I can return to this Starbucks.

What a great way to start a day. The staff is extremely friendly and goes out of their way to make it a positive experience. They are amazing when it comes to remembering the customer's favorite drinks.

Starbucks' is known for it's caffeinated pleasures, but this location is extra perky because of it's locale. In the heart of Wilton Manors, this SBUX draws the flare of the gay community and all that it entails including fashion trends & drag-queens. But don't let that be your only draw, they have an outstanding staff who are friendly & personable, and go out of their way to make your drinking experience a true pleasure!
