I saw a customer in front of me who may have lost her card, but "claimed" they had a rewards on it. As the line was growing, the cashier decided to help her out, giving her a free drink on Him. I know sometimes we lose things but seeing small act of kindness is the reason why I enjoy coming here. Google fiber internet? Oh yeah, you'll be able to get your work done without worrying about slow internet speeds.

Whether you're coming to relax after a day full of shopping, catching up with friends after a movie, or looking at a night full of studying this Starbucks is the place to do it. It is packed every time I have come in, but usually the wait for a table isn't too ridiculous. The staff here is friendly and the line moves pretty quickly, and I've never had any issues with an order. They are fairly blunt when it comes to closing time though, the last time I was there they just shut off the lights which I guess is easier than going up to 20 tables and letting them know they're closing. I have had a lot of good conversations with friends here after dinner or shopping nearby. This Starbucks is a little different than many others as they have some big comfy chairs and a fireplace so the decor is a little fancier. It makes for a fun setting :)

Been here many many times in years past. Love how spacious it is and the industrial decor. Ordered a flat white this morning with some classic coffee cake. The flat white was super light when I first picked it up. I commented on this and the barista (kind of begrudgingly) insisted that she would remake it. The second was also very light, but by this time I was wondering if that was just how flat whites are supposed to be-- like cappuccinos. Regardless, it was delicious. The coffee cake is some of my favorite as well. Would return again.

Super spacious and quiet... you wouldn't expect that for a Starbucks next to Woodfield Mall. I stop by here whenever I am meeting someone in the area. Def a good spot to come and chill...

I will make this one quick. Like most stores around Woodfield or in Woodfield...it's on steroids! And they serve beer! Solid.

Very nice location, they get extremely busy during weekends and nights so come early if you can. Best part? They have alcohol! They have a selection of wines and beers!

This is usually my go-to location. The new manager is NOT friendly at all, and today I pointed out a mistake and he said "whatever, just take them all". All of my favorite baristas have left :-( I do think it's a good location for working and socializing. Sometimes it gets a bit busy, but usually I find a table. I love coming to study here for long periods of time :-)

This was the biggest Starbucks I've ever been in. There are lots of menu choices that are not available at many other Starbucks locations. I enjoyed a grande Guatemala brewed through hey clover machine. This is a great hangout spot.

This Starbucks is huge and they have lots of tables and booths to sit and hang out or work or study or catch up with a friend. They have booth small tables and larger shared space tables as well as comfy chairs. I really like the variety. The staff is great here too. My order was quick and accurate.

Nice, spacious Starbuck's. I came here in the morning before work to have my morning coffee and answer some emails. It was busy but there was plenty of comfortable seats that offered privacy. They have a large selection of delicious dessert and food choices.

Update: I went here many times after that review. It seems like all those rude baristas dont work there anymore. I knew one of the rude ones (he was my girlfriend's brother-in-law) and found out few days ago that he dont work there anymore! Yeay!!!! I am not sure if the manager removed all those rude barsta's or what. I am also seeing change in attitude's of existing Baristas. They are all very surprisingly pleasent! Seems like they went under re-training or something. But hey, here are the 5 stars! :D -------------------------- Good things: -Ambiance -Some baristas are are very nice -Have Food, coffees and Liquor for the evening. -Chairs and tables, couch and sofas, Fireplace, community tables, meeting room upon request. -Very well located -Huge Only reason for the Three star and not five: - Many Baristas are REALLY REALLY rude ( again, Not ALL!) and I think this is because the place is mostly very busy because of all the shops around it There are many campers here. So if you are going for a quick chat with a friend or something,be sure to grab a table before ordering. You may see many freebees hanging out there too!

If you must hit up the 'Bucks, this is the one to set your sights on. Let's run down the pros and cons... Pros: -Plentiful seating of all sorts - tables of various sizes, communal table with plenty of outlets, cushy seats, high tops and more. -Friendly staff -Myriad food offerings from breakfast sammies to pastries to boxed snacks. Plus, the afternoons and evening hours offer more savory snacks and wine & cheese -Free WiFi -Every time I've ordered a latte, coffee, smoothie, etc. it's been made perfectly -Crazy convenient hours: 5am-12am (midnight) every day Cons: -Parking at Streets of Woodfield is (and has always been) a pain. This is especially true during lunch and dinner hours. -This Starbucks can be absolutely mobbed with teens and tweens during the summer hours. Not a huge issue, but if you seek a quiet respite to get work done, this is probably not the best place to be. In terms of Starbucks, this location is pretty grand.

Hipster-Casual-Trendy-Classy! This is the most beautiful Starbucks that I have ever seen. I love the way they break up the enormous space into smaller areas for groups to hang out in a cozy nook. They also have an extended menu with small plates (flatbreads and apps), and desserts (fondue or salted caramel cheesecake brownie). The only problem was that there was not a single seat available to sit down for a few minutes this past Saturday evening. It's the type of place where groups were meeting up and spending hours there mingling.

Kate L.
Of all the Starbucks' I've been to (and believe me, I've been to way too many), this location is by far my favorite! Parking is a little rough, and if you go on a Saturday afternoon be prepared to prowl for at least 20 minutes and maybe even fight it out with another car for a spot, but it's all worth it for the space that this Starbucks has to offer. From normal tables and chairs to a long, high bench with outlets to more intimate groupings of armchairs, this place has seating to suit every type of customer. But my favorite part? The hours! This place is open until midnight every night. I don't know of any other place in the suburbs that will let me work away on my computer that late. It has become my go-to spot for studying, and I will most definitely be back again for every prolonged study session in the foreseeable future.

Kimsy S.
Pretty decent Starbucks. I don't usually stay and linger; I typically treat myself to a drink after work, or after a meal at Meatheads. :-) The service here has been great. Even when I ask for weird drinks that aren't on the menu, the staff always accommodates me with a smile. A few times, my iced drinks have had too much ice or were a little watery, but they were still delicious. I have not had an opportunity to try their wine and cheese tastings, but someday!

Girish Y.
They have a CLOVER! If you don't know what that is, it's time you found out. A clover brews in a way that allows the coffee to express it's subtle symphony of hidden flavors in a wonderful way. Conventional brewing just scorches those subtleties away.Try your favorite coffee brewed on a clover, & you won't even recognize it. A short walk from Legoland or Maggiano's. Try the clover, it's worth the extra dollar.

I've worked in almost every kind of retail setting (even been a barista) and I totally understand. In the last half hour employees just wanna go home. But I would never turn off the lights 10 minutes before closing time while customers were still in the store. If they turn off all of the lights at 11:50 and expect everyone to leave, they might as well list their hours as "5am to 11:50pm". I was kind of shocked. It is so incredibly rude to customers to do that. That's coming from a customer service point of view.

This is a great location for studying or working. It's a larger location with a variety of seats (sofas, study tables) and they have indoor/outdoor seating available. Love the music, super chill... Employees are nice, restaurant is always clean. No complaints, will def be getting my study on here this Fall Semester. Oh and because of the location it's nearby a lot of shopping, ent. & food places (red mango, Chipotle, Woodfield, Lego Land, Game works, AMC)

There are 23,187 Starbucks Coffee Shops in the world - and if you're in the Woodfield Mall/Schaumburg area, this should be one that you visit! The layout is very spacious and accommodates tons of meetings, hangouts and "work from homes" on any given day - great local feel. The longer hours bring a variety of different crowds depending on the time of day but you'll always find staff that's beyond personable and willing to make excellent recommendations if you're not sure what you have a taste for. If you need...want to become a "regular" at a Starbucks, this location can also meet that need. In my ~6 months of being in the Schaumburg area, I developed a morning routine that included a visit here on the way to work. There were so many mornings that my drink was made and waiting for me by the time I finished paying - which was beyond clutch! Can't thank the staff enough for that! The only tricky part about visiting here are the parking constraints - which you'll experience on the weekends usually after the noon-noon:30 time frame. I highly recommend visiting here and re-baselining you're Starbucks experience, cheers!

I love the employees at this SBux. Baristas are very good and they work very fast. The clientele at this location are really weird. Most seemed to have crawled out of their parents basement for the night. Get off your laptops, talk to each other and oh yeah, if you're willing to pay $5.00 for a cup of coffee tip the hard working staff!

When I'm in the area this is easily one of my favorite Starbucks. For starters it's HUGE!!! It has to be one of the largest Starbucks I've been in (and I've been to quite a few). The layout is amazing with a variety of seating available. There are booths, comfy leather chairs/couches and of course the usual table/chairs (in varying heights and lengths). Another nice aspect of this location is the layout of the 'milk and sugar' station. Unlike most Starbucks where there is one small station that people crowd around and/or wait in line for, the one here is larger and circular in shape which makes for more room. And on top of that it's located near the center of the shop. The baristas at this location are great; very friendly and helpful. What separates this Starbucks from others is after 4pm they serve wine and beer along with small plates of other food that is not usually found at a Starbucks. That's right folks, wine and/or beer to chase that cup of coffee. Can life get any better?

This is among my most favorite of Starbucks locations. It's the largest and coolest designed one I've seen, with a private meeting room, comfortable seating areas, a large work table or two, and plenty of tables for the laptop crowd. If on a weekend, parking may be dicely, but there's plenty. It's location is easy to get to from many parts of the region, being near 290, 90 and 53, so a convenient spot to meet an associate or friend. They also have the clover machine for a hand brewed experience, and an extended food and wine menu after 4 pm (which I've never partaken). There are also movie theaters, restaurants, comedy clubs and other entertainment options very close, which is cool. This is not your typical Starbucks, which makes it among the best!

Savi C.
An excellent place to have coffee, relax, or get work done. This Starbucks is open til midnight (really nice because no other coffee shop in the area is open past 10PM). The place is clean and seating is available inside or out. I did have to knock off a star because there are times when the staff isn't as courteous as one would like. They can be short with the customers.

Caroline D.
Here at about 5 on a Saturday. There were 10-15 people waiting for drinks at a time but the baristas weren't taking down names so instead we had to all look at each other and go, "Is that yours? Is it mine?" Really stupid. And they forgot to make my friend's beverage, so, again, while standing in the group of 10-15 people wondering which drink was whose, it took us 10 minutes to figure out hers was not coming. Just do it right, you guys! The workflow model is already there. I know you have the Sharpies.

Dan E.
I met a business associate here - it was his suggestion. Its half way between where we were at and its right on top of 355. I guess this is a popular spot for meetings because they even have a private room you can rent by the hour for meetings. I don't find it any better or worse than other Starbucks. They are one of the Starbucks that sell beer and wine. But I would avoid the area at rush hours.

Sarah S.
This is a great location for grabbing a drink and people watching. Outdoor tables can make that for a fun afternoon or evening of studying. The downsides are it's hard to find parking...and hard to find a table! It's always very packed here. My suggestion is to try and snag a spot in the circle drive, run in to grab your drink and get out.

Jessica P.
I love coffee..I love tea..I love fake fireplaces.. or real fireplaces...and comfy sofas.. and comfy couches.. Why this Starbucks location is great: 1) Customer service, the staff are all friendly! 2) Coffee coffee tea tea coffee tea coffee 3) Good atmosphere to get distracted from noise & relax or to just study with headphones or to just chat with a friend or with friends or with strangers or meet strangers.. 4) They serve food and wine on friday evenings (i think)!! 5) You can reserve somewhat sound proof rooms if you want to have a study group.. 6) They are always open late!! woohoo.. 7) Free Wi-fi 8) Outlet plugs to charge your electronics Improvements would be nice: 1) The washrooms aren't always clean...(i wish females would learn how to wipe their seat after they use the toilet...) 2) Temperature --if you are person that gets cold easily (like me), bring a sweater always!! it's always freezing in there!! 3) It gets really packed sometimes so it gets difficult to find seats or to find a table 4) It can be somewhat difficult to find parking near Starbucks because it is located in Streets of Woodfield (there's lots of places to go to besides Starbucks) Drinks: -Coffee: is good, but not #1 on my coffee list... -Tazo Teas are good.. Costs: -food is a little pricey, might as well go to a restaurant and eat and then come here for coffee/tea -prices range from $2-$6 per drink (i think) depending on size and what you order

This is my favorite starbucks!!! The drinks are made fast and are delicious. This place is pretty big but I would say the only downside is there are always a ton of people. I don't usually have a hard time finding a seat. They now offer regular food there and alcohol too now I believe. :)

Dave J.
This is where I met the woman I would eventually marry, so this Starbucks is very special for the both of us. Aside from that, the service here is very good, even on a busy Friday night. With the theaters, a comedy club, shops, and other restaurants nearby, this place can get very busy. Despite that, my recent experience was very good. With 10 people in line, and the baristas working full speed, I was able to get my venti mocha in less than five minutes. This location is large, fairly clean, and nicely decorated. There are many tables and chairs outside on the sidewalk, and on a nice evening, it's a comfortable place to enjoy coffee.

Don't judge me for being one of those suburbanite "yuppies" who regularly sips from the iconic white cup with a certain green round label...seriously, I know you're doing it. As I type, I'm sitting at a table by the window, soaking up the free wifi and slurping down a solo espresso with a Pellegrino chaser. Sure, the coffee tastes burned, but I think that's pretty much Starbuck's trademark. There's a fine line between strong and charred coffee, and Starbucks consistently blows right through it. "Why do you keep coming here then?" you might ask. Well, it's the service. Call me crazy, but this particular Starbucks location continually blows me away with their friendly freakin fantastic service. When a local news radio station (that shall remain nameless) erroneously announced that Starbucks was giving away FREE COFFEE, I high tailed it to this location (for those who know me, I'm a total sucker for anything dealing with the "F" word). I was told by the barista that there was no free coffee...that was a promotion from last year-boo. As I was reaching for my wallet to (gasp) pay for my coffee, the guy told me not to worry about it and that he would take care of me. I guess the coffee gods were smiling on me that morning. Today, I came in to grab a late afternoon pick-me-up and to reload my gift card (which comes with perks, I might add. If you don't have a registered Starbucks gift card, I highly advise you invest in one...free coffee flavorings, free birthday drink, coupon perks, "cool factor" of paying with a sweet green card, etc.). Normally when I reload my card at other Starbucks locations, I have to recharge the card first and THEN order my drink (much to the chagrin of my fellow coffee purchasers who now have to wait in line seconds more before they can get their caffeine fix). The sweet barista magically completed my entire transaction in one fell swoop...apparently she likes to save time and register paper too. So shake your head if you must, but for those days when I need a little extra boost and I'm in the area, you bet your sweet smoky coffee bean that I'll be heading to the Starbucks at the Streets of Woodfield.

I love this Starbucks location. The people are friendly and personable. Not only that, they make a great cup of coffee. I love the fact they have the clover machines. They have later open hours and have never failed to deliver exactly what I ask for. It's a spacious Starbucks with ample seating inside and out. No grief, no snicker, no pretentiousness that I receive from other Starbucks locations. Parking is moderate at certain times of the day. There's a big parking lot, but it can be a challenge to find a spot close by. That's right, being in America, most of us do not like walking a short distance. Actually I'm usually running a wee bit late for work and hope I nail a spot close to the door. They are definitely efficient and cordial. Sean, Michael, Stephanie and the rest of the crew are always helpful for my coffee needs.

Well - it's a Starbucks, which means it's a, well, Starbucks. That said - they have not one but two of the life altering Clover machines. (If you've yet to experience the Clover machine, it makes the best cup of coffee you've ever had. It's the only way to go.) The staff is friendly and efficient. Whenever I'm in town, I'm here every morning.

Made the special trip out to the Streets of Woodfield Starbucks for two reasons: (1) the insanely buzzed about Clover Machine and (2) It is one of the select few locations outside of the Pacific Northwest that has rolled out "Starbucks Evenings" pilot program, which famously offers an array of beers, wines and small plates of delicious delectables after 4pm. The Clover coffee was incredibly good. It's the freshest cup of joe you can get aside from making it yourself at home. You can order it hot or over ice and they have several different blends to pick from so as not to narrow your pool of choices. We asked the Barista what he would recommend based on our personal tastes and other Starbucks blends we like (i.e. Cafe Verona) and he suggested the Malaui. He nailed it. The staff as a whole was highly energetic, friendly and knowledgeable. For this particular location, I would expect nothing less and they blew me away with their outstanding service. As for the Starbucks Evenings offerings, we decided to skip it after seeing the prices. A little steep, even by Starbucks standards, unfortunately. Minimum $7-$8 a glass. Not to be a snoot, but I can be just as a happy with a bottle of 3 buck Chuck. Luckily they had a sampling table set up with sparkling white wine -- needless to say, we couldn't pass it up. The overall ambiance is fantastic. It's a great fusion of a very up-to-date, modern Starbucks combined with a cool, after-five lounge feel that at one point was even accompanied by live music on acoustic guitar. Such a pleasant surprise and not something I've ever seen in a major coffee chain! It's a huge space with even a private conference room. If I'm ever in the area again, you bet I'm coming back. And maybe next time I'll shell out a few extra bucks for some of those savory, after dinner offerings.

Pros: 1) The clover/reserve coffee - truth be told, I don't like Starbucks, as a chain - I grew up going to/working at indie coffee shops and I'm a curmudgeon about coffee. The clover system makes me a hypocrite - it makes the best coffee I've had from a coffee shop, hands down. They're not at all Starbucks, but this one has it. 2) Lots of decent seating and lots of power outlets for those of us traveling with our laptops. 3) In the evenings they serve wine. I haven't tried this yet, but it's a good concept, IMHO. Cons: 1) Busy parking lot, spots can be hard to find 2) Wifi speeds are beyond terrible. Consistently.

Andrew L.
After 4pm, Starbucks begins selling beer and wine - turning the coffee shop into a, straight out of Italy, Enoteca. Wines range in price from $25 to $60. And while this a bit pricey, the Pinot Grigio and Merlot were quite good. Also unlike your average bar, there is no loud music, awkwardly dark ambience, or tipping! The location is also as large as a restaurant, so there is plenty of seating. According to a Starbucks employee, this is the first of many such "Starbucks Evenings" locations. However future locations will not be nearby but in New York, Georgia, and California.

Michelle L.
This Starbuck is pretty amazing, comparatively speaking. I generally prefer coffee shops that aren't chains, but this location has: great staff, plenty of room, and they are open until 12am every night. It has a tendency to be 60 degrees year round, which I find too cold even if i'm drinking coffee. I just make sure I bring a hoodie or jacket every time I visit. The wifi also seems to get a bit bogged-down if it gets too crowded. The new extended menu is nice, there is a small list of appetizer type cuisine if you get munchy. None of which is necessarily a meal unless you're a bird or you order multiple plates. Nonetheless, it goes well with the recent addition of wine and beer on the menu. Overall, great place to hang, for a minute or a few hours.

My goodness! At 8:00AM the buzz and positive attitude in here definitely gets your morning started. First off, I absolutely LOVE this location. Not only the area but the actual Starbucks itself is just my style. Comes off with an urban loft style decor with a hint of manliness. the dark wood, modern seating, the long table in the middle. Perfect. Also it's pretty spacey compared to a lot of others i've been in. The baristas, peppy and incredibly friendly. You sense the chemistry and enjoyment in what they do. I really wanted to stay there all day but unfortunately couldn't. I can just rave about this place for a dozen more paragraphs but I will leave it be with a prefect five stars and hopefully that says enough. 15 min drive from home, and probably 8907310983 Starbucks away, but yes, i WOULD make the short trip here for my daily cup of awesomness. Thanks guys, for a great start to my day! PLEASE keep it up!

Kaye D.
Here's one of the bigger Starbucks locations with friendly baristas, who will actually have a conversation with you if you're feeling a little chatty. Because it's one of the bigger locations, there are different sections: tables and booths, hightop tables, couches and comfy chairs, comfy chairs around little tables. Aside from the usual Starbucks drink menu, they also serve wine here. 0_o and little appetizer plates - like a cheese plate for instance. Yup. This is one of the few locations that serves wine. Depending on what you're there for, studying to coffee date, it seems they got you covered.

3 words: terrible, terrible, terrible....for its wifi connection. Don't expect to go there to use the internet for work. I live only about 5 minutes from this Starbucks location. I stopped going there after experiencing terrible wifi connection for 5 times straight (I thought I gave them a chance). Staffs are not helpful either. They are all busy...and they don't know how to troubleshoot internet connection. Hint: Go to the other Starbucks on Golf if you plan to use the wifi. Or, Caribou on Roselle and Golf.

I've been here twice and if I'm in the area, in need of coffee, I'll stop in again. This Starbucks location is definitely the biggest and baddest around; interested to know why? Listen up fellow Yelpers! The most obvious being this is a HUGE Starbucks, one of the largest I've ever seen. (If I'm alone on this, I'll assume I've been living under a rock.) They're stocked up as if it were the main distribution center for the area. For real guys, it's gigantic! The bigger the better, am I right?! Okay, enough about it's size... The baristas are really great at this location; friendly to a 'T', patient, helpful, and they know their sh*t. The last time I was here I only ordered a water while the boyfriend got a coffee (it was already near my bedtime, ok?! I rarely turn down a hot cup of joe!) the girls were so sweet and didn't mind. Want some rare, random coffee from some country you've never heard of? They've probably got it here. Plus 20 other kinds of reserve coffees and such. You can buy any of them by the pound too, none are more than $16/lb. This location also recently introduced beer and wine to their menu. (If you're thinking, "WTF?!" then join the club.) Aaaaaand they have small plates plus other food you may not find at your 'average' Starbucks. I've seen some people come here to study. I have no idea how they focus considering the amount of people moving in, out, and all about this place. However, there are several segregated areas throughout this place; some comfy chairs, some outside tables, some high top tables, some cute tables, etc. Any of these are bound to please your behind! Enjoy this pretty ballin' Starbucks location. I'm positive it'll tickle your fancy, it did mine. =)

This is not one of my favorite Starbucks locations because the parking here at the Streets of Woodfield is usually rather complicated. Also it can get REALLY busy so it can be extremely hard to find a seat at times. On the positive side, the staff here is usually friendly and the drinks are good.

Connie L.
This is my favorite Starbucks location. It is open later than the other Starbucks in the area. It is soooo spacious and it makes me feel right at home. The only downfall is that it is located in the Streets of Woodfield, which also means the traffic in and out of the store rarely stops.

This Starbucks location is a great place to meet with friends because it's centrally located from many different suburbs and very large. However, every time I come here, it's way too crowded and I always have to wait to find a place to sit. It's not just groups of people that are occupying the seats, it's individuals who occupy an entire table just so they can spread out their laptop and multiple bags. Either this place needs to be larger, or there needs to be another coffee place nearby for people to meet up. I think a counter against the window for individuals would be a good idea too (as other locations have). Or I guess I should take the responsibility and suggest a different place to go next time I meet a friend.

One of the best Starbucks I've seen, though always busy! The venue is in a great location (Street of Woodfield) and I found the inside to be better designed and more modern. I found no issues with it being cold; in fact, there's a fireplace there which provided ample heat beyond the central air. There's also a kids area, work bench areas, and a roundabout section for individual tables. I've used this as a meet up place a few times, and it's perfect for that! The service is good and the drinks are like any other Starbucks. So I'd say the selling point of this one is simply the design and the very modern interior.

You made me happy, Starbucks! I ordered the caramel apple cider. Except I wasn't feeling the caramel, so I asked them not to put it in. So the guy behind the counter, upon hearing this, only charges me for the kid's size one! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

CONS: 1. AC is on full BLAST 2. Chatter box level on HIGH (extremely HIGH) 3. Tough to find seats 4. Employees re-stocking and on their cell phone...??? 5. Music on BLAST 6, WI-FI is SLOOOOWWWW... please fix this! PROS: 1. New seating "soft arm chair" section and high tables 2. Private conference/meeting room Thoughts about the new wine list: 1. About time we caught up to Europe..... 2. After 4 pm.... fine i get it! we have more DUI's than Europe with liquor age consumption 3. Ummm... $9 for a glass of wine at Starbucks...??? 4. Free Wine Tasting SUCKS!

This has got to be one of the best stocked Starbucks I've ever seen. The staff is super polite and if you go a handful of times they will learn your normal order pretty quick. They have a large selection of food to pick from to go with your coffee and cook it up fast. There is plenty of room to sit if you want to enjoy your food in house or take it to go. This place is a actual coffee house unlike the standard in and out Starbucks. So come, sit, relax and enjoy.

Peter K.
They are like all other Starbucks I know. EXCEPT this place is FREEZING. Make sure you bring a jacket in even during the summer. It feels like they keep the place at 50 degrees. It's also fairly busy and they play soft music in there. Because it's super busy and in the middle of the Streets of Woodfield, there are lot of people that pass through, though they have a nice center station where there are boat loads of plugs to plug into and do work.

Although I love this place for its location, ambiance, and coffee.... I would say this is one of the most poorly managed starbucks ever! The company advertises evening menu like crazy but for consistently the last month I've been coming here 3-4 times a week, they NEVER have flatbreads or anything vegetarian from their menu. They always run out at like 5pm. I can understand once in a while, but 18 out of 20 times I've attempted to order food from the evening menu, they have been out. What is the point if you don't carry enough in stock! Hungry and Annoyed!

It's a Starbucks. It's in Woodfield. It's good. I find myself here almost weekly and love the clover press!

Yea its official...this is my favorite Starbuck location in the burbs. I'm not saying that just because I'm actually sitting in the communal table tapping away on my laptop. I have been sitting here for almost 2 hours just watching people lounging on the comfy leather seats, and sofa's sippin' on the liquid crack. I realized that I actually drive out of my way when there is like 25 billion Starbucks closer to the crib. I go to this one because this is the one with the most awesome vibe and ambiance...and the service has always been excellent. That's it and that's that...now back to my Grande Mocha.

Its location among the Streets of Woodfield, gives this Starbucks a touch of an urban feel among this suburban world. It is comfortably large, with plenty of places to plop down and open your laptop, either for work or pleasure. Weather permitting, you can grab your latte and soak up the sun while watching the Suburb specimens walk by. The staff has always been friendly and the latte ... well it's a Starbucks latte.

Love this Starbucks, by far my favorite. Its a great place to hang out and have some coffee, hang out and chat with friends or just read a book, it is clean comfortable and very large. Every time I am at the Streets of Woodfield I have a cuppa Joe here.

Very convenient location for meeting clients in the Suburbs. Very large location with tons of great seating options both inside & out. Due to the great location, it's often packed; if you're planning to meet clients during peak days/times, arrive early to scout out a table. This location has all the other typical amenities of any Starbucks location. Staff is always friendly & polite.

Wow, this this is nicest, most spacious, attractive and well laid out Starbucks I've ever seen. It's in this "Faux-ville" section of the Woodfield Mall area which is kind of an instant town they put up so suburbanites can feel as if they live in a real town; and all the Hollywood yearning, overly made up young gals can come there to hang out and act like Lindsey or Brittany. But seriously, what a nice rendezvous spot this is. I am very mall averse, but I would come back here in a minute. If, like today, I need to be out there for some reason. Nice outdoor seating, too. Great views of Interstate 355! And the jive translation: Wow, dis dis be supa' finest, most spacious, attractive and sheeit laid out Starbucks I've eva' seen. 'S coo', bro.

Normally there's really no point in reviewing a place like this - a Starbucks is a Starbucks is a Seattle coffee chain. But the one in the Streets of Woodfield is just a little something special. And that little something is the Clover machine - the wonderful $11,000 contraption that makes the smoothest, most velvety cup of black coffee I've ever had. Which pretty much causes my criticism of regular Starbucks coffee - that it's too sharp - to disintegrate into the most pillowy brew imaginable. Enough gushing though. The place is also really big, one of the biggest in the U.S. I've heard, and yet it still somehow seems to fill up. Whatever, just come and enjoy an eleven grand cup of coffee.

The pictures dont do this spot justice! Biggest Starbucks I have ever seen! Lots of tables and work areas to get things done or catch up with friends. If you have a team meeting I would highly recommend utilizing their conference area space or posting up on the cool vintage tables/chairs. If i did more work in Schaumburg I would be here more often!

This starbucks is beauuuutiful. It's huge and it has plenty of seating and cute couches by the fireplace! They also have beer/wine and the works. It's open till 12 on weekdays at least... and definitely take advantage of the pretty outdoor seating-it's almost like a 4-star restaurant outside! Red Mango fro yo is right across the street. Love this place, wish it was 24 hour and if it was, I would move back to Schaumburg.

We often come here, as it's the closest to our place. The coffee is generally pretty reliable, though we have had a couple of not-so-good cups. It's a very large store and always fairly busy, so sometimes getting a good seat can be tricky. Although the service is generally good, I had one run-in with a staff member recently where an order was mixed up and she was very abrupt and rude about it, which put me off. I understand that they get busy, but being told off in front of other customers for picking up the wrong order is really not on! As a regular customer, I'd think it wouldn't be too much to make another coffee when an honest mistake occurs, without making a big deal out of it. The team here are very efficient and good at what they do. It's quite impressive to watch them at work during peak time!

Atmosphere is good. Service was good. Only thing bad was the wi-fi was too slow

The best thing about this Starbucks is how they are just AWESOME at getting you in and and out of here. The line may look long, but don't worry, just step in line and you'll be out in no time. I'm not a big fan about how many people seem to use this Starbucks like their personal office space, so it's not the kind of coffee shop I'd go to to relax. It's fine though if you're just needing to get a fix (of caffeine, of course!)

LOVE this Starbucks. Wonderful friendly service, always acurate and tasty drinks. It is small, but it's a nice atmosphere and by a lot of shops!

The only Starbucks in the burbs that matches my old North & Wells location. Spacious and plenty of younger people hanging out and working. But - is it just me, or does there ALWAYS seem to be some awkward first and/or blind date next to you when you're trying to work? Blech!

Always busy, however the service is great and they take and fulfill your order quickly.

I've enjoyed meeting friends and business associates at this location for years. They've done a nice job over time of improving the layout to accomodate the consumer need. This latest upgrade is the best yet. New chat areas and curtains to cut the din of noise add a clubby feel. The after-4 wine and small plate addition is impressive. The wine we chose was good and the prices are reasonable. We sampled 3 small plates and they were all good, as were the toasted pumpkin seeds they provided. The only draw back was the time lag to get the small plates. It took several minutes--far longer than a coffee drink might. Starbucks might consider giving out numbers that sit on the table (like Corner Bakery does) for this service. That said I'll go back!

Great starbucks, especially when they aren't super-busy. The wait is never long at all, the employees are great, and it's a pretty neat space. Small complaint, but the internet can get bogged down sometimes.

Some *bux locations are better than others, and this one is on the high side. Big, roomy, lots of electrical outlets for the wired set (of which I'm always part), and baristas who say hello and make decent drinks.

Grace L.
This starbucks is always crowded. I think it has to due with the awesome interior,free wifi, awesome lattes/fraps, and cleanliness. Also I love that I'm always greeted with a smile here; instead of a snobbish attitude (like the other location, inside Target on higgins rd)

All I can say is... 70 degrees yesterday and I was sitting outside soaking up the weather and having some great conversation. The service is fast even though it always seems packed. Always a nice late night stop, as well, if you're not up for a drink of the alcoholic variety. Just be prepared to put up with the overflow of 21- kids.

This Starbucks has plenty of space, but it can get pretty busy. It is open late on the weekends (12 or 1am I believe), has a movie theater, GameWorks and a bunch of restaurants nearby. My biggest complaint, however, is that they always tend to keep the temperature really low. I always need to warm up my feet and hands regularly if I'm doing work for a long time while I am here.

What makes this Starbucks so special? Well, it has so much life going on all around it. It is located in the Streets of Woodfield right across from the Woodfield Mall. On a Saturday night, during balmy weather there are just so many people out and about- great to unwind and people watch! And with all of the little outdoor tables and benches it gives it a European flair. I reminds me of sitting at an outdoor coffee platz in Innsbrook.

I saw a customer in front of me who may have lost her card, but "claimed" they had a rewards on it. As the line was growing, the cashier decided to help her out, giving her a free drink on Him. I know sometimes we lose things but seeing small act of kindness is the reason why I enjoy coming here. Google fiber internet? Oh yeah, you'll be able to get your work done without worrying about slow internet speeds.

Whether you're coming to relax after a day full of shopping, catching up with friends after a movie, or looking at a night full of studying this Starbucks is the place to do it. It is packed every time I have come in, but usually the wait for a table isn't too ridiculous. The staff here is friendly and the line moves pretty quickly, and I've never had any issues with an order. They are fairly blunt when it comes to closing time though, the last time I was there they just shut off the lights which I guess is easier than going up to 20 tables and letting them know they're closing. I have had a lot of good conversations with friends here after dinner or shopping nearby. This Starbucks is a little different than many others as they have some big comfy chairs and a fireplace so the decor is a little fancier. It makes for a fun setting :)
(4)Stephanie K.
Been here many many times in years past. Love how spacious it is and the industrial decor. Ordered a flat white this morning with some classic coffee cake. The flat white was super light when I first picked it up. I commented on this and the barista (kind of begrudgingly) insisted that she would remake it. The second was also very light, but by this time I was wondering if that was just how flat whites are supposed to be-- like cappuccinos. Regardless, it was delicious. The coffee cake is some of my favorite as well. Would return again.
(4)Jesus G.
Super spacious and quiet... you wouldn't expect that for a Starbucks next to Woodfield Mall. I stop by here whenever I am meeting someone in the area. Def a good spot to come and chill...
(4)Nick S.
I will make this one quick. Like most stores around Woodfield or in Woodfield...it's on steroids! And they serve beer! Solid.
(5)Adrian G.
Very nice location, they get extremely busy during weekends and nights so come early if you can. Best part? They have alcohol! They have a selection of wines and beers!
(5)Bay S.
This is usually my go-to location. The new manager is NOT friendly at all, and today I pointed out a mistake and he said "whatever, just take them all". All of my favorite baristas have left :-( I do think it's a good location for working and socializing. Sometimes it gets a bit busy, but usually I find a table. I love coming to study here for long periods of time :-)
(4)Stuart K.
This was the biggest Starbucks I've ever been in. There are lots of menu choices that are not available at many other Starbucks locations. I enjoyed a grande Guatemala brewed through hey clover machine. This is a great hangout spot.
(5)Alyssa K.
This Starbucks is huge and they have lots of tables and booths to sit and hang out or work or study or catch up with a friend. They have booth small tables and larger shared space tables as well as comfy chairs. I really like the variety. The staff is great here too. My order was quick and accurate.
(5)Kimberly D.
Nice, spacious Starbuck's. I came here in the morning before work to have my morning coffee and answer some emails. It was busy but there was plenty of comfortable seats that offered privacy. They have a large selection of delicious dessert and food choices.
(4)Kawal J.
Update: I went here many times after that review. It seems like all those rude baristas dont work there anymore. I knew one of the rude ones (he was my girlfriend's brother-in-law) and found out few days ago that he dont work there anymore! Yeay!!!! I am not sure if the manager removed all those rude barsta's or what. I am also seeing change in attitude's of existing Baristas. They are all very surprisingly pleasent! Seems like they went under re-training or something. But hey, here are the 5 stars! :D -------------------------- Good things: -Ambiance -Some baristas are are very nice -Have Food, coffees and Liquor for the evening. -Chairs and tables, couch and sofas, Fireplace, community tables, meeting room upon request. -Very well located -Huge Only reason for the Three star and not five: - Many Baristas are REALLY REALLY rude ( again, Not ALL!) and I think this is because the place is mostly very busy because of all the shops around it There are many campers here. So if you are going for a quick chat with a friend or something,be sure to grab a table before ordering. You may see many freebees hanging out there too!

If you must hit up the 'Bucks, this is the one to set your sights on. Let's run down the pros and cons... Pros: -Plentiful seating of all sorts - tables of various sizes, communal table with plenty of outlets, cushy seats, high tops and more. -Friendly staff -Myriad food offerings from breakfast sammies to pastries to boxed snacks. Plus, the afternoons and evening hours offer more savory snacks and wine & cheese -Free WiFi -Every time I've ordered a latte, coffee, smoothie, etc. it's been made perfectly -Crazy convenient hours: 5am-12am (midnight) every day Cons: -Parking at Streets of Woodfield is (and has always been) a pain. This is especially true during lunch and dinner hours. -This Starbucks can be absolutely mobbed with teens and tweens during the summer hours. Not a huge issue, but if you seek a quiet respite to get work done, this is probably not the best place to be. In terms of Starbucks, this location is pretty grand.
(4)Alison V.
Hipster-Casual-Trendy-Classy! This is the most beautiful Starbucks that I have ever seen. I love the way they break up the enormous space into smaller areas for groups to hang out in a cozy nook. They also have an extended menu with small plates (flatbreads and apps), and desserts (fondue or salted caramel cheesecake brownie). The only problem was that there was not a single seat available to sit down for a few minutes this past Saturday evening. It's the type of place where groups were meeting up and spending hours there mingling.
(4)Kate L.
Of all the Starbucks' I've been to (and believe me, I've been to way too many), this location is by far my favorite! Parking is a little rough, and if you go on a Saturday afternoon be prepared to prowl for at least 20 minutes and maybe even fight it out with another car for a spot, but it's all worth it for the space that this Starbucks has to offer. From normal tables and chairs to a long, high bench with outlets to more intimate groupings of armchairs, this place has seating to suit every type of customer. But my favorite part? The hours! This place is open until midnight every night. I don't know of any other place in the suburbs that will let me work away on my computer that late. It has become my go-to spot for studying, and I will most definitely be back again for every prolonged study session in the foreseeable future.
(4)Kimsy S.
Pretty decent Starbucks. I don't usually stay and linger; I typically treat myself to a drink after work, or after a meal at Meatheads. :-) The service here has been great. Even when I ask for weird drinks that aren't on the menu, the staff always accommodates me with a smile. A few times, my iced drinks have had too much ice or were a little watery, but they were still delicious. I have not had an opportunity to try their wine and cheese tastings, but someday!
(4)Girish Y.
They have a CLOVER! If you don't know what that is, it's time you found out. A clover brews in a way that allows the coffee to express it's subtle symphony of hidden flavors in a wonderful way. Conventional brewing just scorches those subtleties away.Try your favorite coffee brewed on a clover, & you won't even recognize it. A short walk from Legoland or Maggiano's. Try the clover, it's worth the extra dollar.
(4)Liz B.
I've worked in almost every kind of retail setting (even been a barista) and I totally understand. In the last half hour employees just wanna go home. But I would never turn off the lights 10 minutes before closing time while customers were still in the store. If they turn off all of the lights at 11:50 and expect everyone to leave, they might as well list their hours as "5am to 11:50pm". I was kind of shocked. It is so incredibly rude to customers to do that. That's coming from a customer service point of view.
(1)Haeley J.
This is a great location for studying or working. It's a larger location with a variety of seats (sofas, study tables) and they have indoor/outdoor seating available. Love the music, super chill... Employees are nice, restaurant is always clean. No complaints, will def be getting my study on here this Fall Semester. Oh and because of the location it's nearby a lot of shopping, ent. & food places (red mango, Chipotle, Woodfield, Lego Land, Game works, AMC)
(5)Jordan C.
There are 23,187 Starbucks Coffee Shops in the world - and if you're in the Woodfield Mall/Schaumburg area, this should be one that you visit! The layout is very spacious and accommodates tons of meetings, hangouts and "work from homes" on any given day - great local feel. The longer hours bring a variety of different crowds depending on the time of day but you'll always find staff that's beyond personable and willing to make excellent recommendations if you're not sure what you have a taste for. If you need...want to become a "regular" at a Starbucks, this location can also meet that need. In my ~6 months of being in the Schaumburg area, I developed a morning routine that included a visit here on the way to work. There were so many mornings that my drink was made and waiting for me by the time I finished paying - which was beyond clutch! Can't thank the staff enough for that! The only tricky part about visiting here are the parking constraints - which you'll experience on the weekends usually after the noon-noon:30 time frame. I highly recommend visiting here and re-baselining you're Starbucks experience, cheers!
(5)Rob T.
I like this Starbucks the most. Staff is great my coffee is always perfect. There's always a lot of people here so the energy is great. Their conference room is great for business meetings.

(4)Kat Q.
I love the employees at this SBux. Baristas are very good and they work very fast. The clientele at this location are really weird. Most seemed to have crawled out of their parents basement for the night. Get off your laptops, talk to each other and oh yeah, if you're willing to pay $5.00 for a cup of coffee tip the hard working staff!
(4)Willis C.
When I'm in the area this is easily one of my favorite Starbucks. For starters it's HUGE!!! It has to be one of the largest Starbucks I've been in (and I've been to quite a few). The layout is amazing with a variety of seating available. There are booths, comfy leather chairs/couches and of course the usual table/chairs (in varying heights and lengths). Another nice aspect of this location is the layout of the 'milk and sugar' station. Unlike most Starbucks where there is one small station that people crowd around and/or wait in line for, the one here is larger and circular in shape which makes for more room. And on top of that it's located near the center of the shop. The baristas at this location are great; very friendly and helpful. What separates this Starbucks from others is after 4pm they serve wine and beer along with small plates of other food that is not usually found at a Starbucks. That's right folks, wine and/or beer to chase that cup of coffee. Can life get any better?
(4)Nic Z.
Last year, I gave 2 stars for drunk creepers. Today, I'm all happy and feeling good to be home. 4 stars it is. Thanks for making me warm and fuzzy. :o)
(4)David P.
Ok. Jus another starbucks coffee place. Like it because off it location. Coffie is everywhere is se same taste good.
(4)Jeff H.
This is among my most favorite of Starbucks locations. It's the largest and coolest designed one I've seen, with a private meeting room, comfortable seating areas, a large work table or two, and plenty of tables for the laptop crowd. If on a weekend, parking may be dicely, but there's plenty. It's location is easy to get to from many parts of the region, being near 290, 90 and 53, so a convenient spot to meet an associate or friend. They also have the clover machine for a hand brewed experience, and an extended food and wine menu after 4 pm (which I've never partaken). There are also movie theaters, restaurants, comedy clubs and other entertainment options very close, which is cool. This is not your typical Starbucks, which makes it among the best!
(4)Savi C.
An excellent place to have coffee, relax, or get work done. This Starbucks is open til midnight (really nice because no other coffee shop in the area is open past 10PM). The place is clean and seating is available inside or out. I did have to knock off a star because there are times when the staff isn't as courteous as one would like. They can be short with the customers.
(4)Caroline D.
Here at about 5 on a Saturday. There were 10-15 people waiting for drinks at a time but the baristas weren't taking down names so instead we had to all look at each other and go, "Is that yours? Is it mine?" Really stupid. And they forgot to make my friend's beverage, so, again, while standing in the group of 10-15 people wondering which drink was whose, it took us 10 minutes to figure out hers was not coming. Just do it right, you guys! The workflow model is already there. I know you have the Sharpies.
(2)Dan E.
I met a business associate here - it was his suggestion. Its half way between where we were at and its right on top of 355. I guess this is a popular spot for meetings because they even have a private room you can rent by the hour for meetings. I don't find it any better or worse than other Starbucks. They are one of the Starbucks that sell beer and wine. But I would avoid the area at rush hours.
(4)Sarah S.
This is a great location for grabbing a drink and people watching. Outdoor tables can make that for a fun afternoon or evening of studying. The downsides are it's hard to find parking...and hard to find a table! It's always very packed here. My suggestion is to try and snag a spot in the circle drive, run in to grab your drink and get out.
(4)Jessica P.
I love coffee..I love tea..I love fake fireplaces.. or real fireplaces...and comfy sofas.. and comfy couches.. Why this Starbucks location is great: 1) Customer service, the staff are all friendly! 2) Coffee coffee tea tea coffee tea coffee 3) Good atmosphere to get distracted from noise & relax or to just study with headphones or to just chat with a friend or with friends or with strangers or meet strangers.. 4) They serve food and wine on friday evenings (i think)!! 5) You can reserve somewhat sound proof rooms if you want to have a study group.. 6) They are always open late!! woohoo.. 7) Free Wi-fi 8) Outlet plugs to charge your electronics Improvements would be nice: 1) The washrooms aren't always clean...(i wish females would learn how to wipe their seat after they use the toilet...) 2) Temperature --if you are person that gets cold easily (like me), bring a sweater always!! it's always freezing in there!! 3) It gets really packed sometimes so it gets difficult to find seats or to find a table 4) It can be somewhat difficult to find parking near Starbucks because it is located in Streets of Woodfield (there's lots of places to go to besides Starbucks) Drinks: -Coffee: is good, but not #1 on my coffee list... -Tazo Teas are good.. Costs: -food is a little pricey, might as well go to a restaurant and eat and then come here for coffee/tea -prices range from $2-$6 per drink (i think) depending on size and what you order
(4)Sandy T.
This is my favorite starbucks!!! The drinks are made fast and are delicious. This place is pretty big but I would say the only downside is there are always a ton of people. I don't usually have a hard time finding a seat. They now offer regular food there and alcohol too now I believe. :)
(5)Dave J.
This is where I met the woman I would eventually marry, so this Starbucks is very special for the both of us. Aside from that, the service here is very good, even on a busy Friday night. With the theaters, a comedy club, shops, and other restaurants nearby, this place can get very busy. Despite that, my recent experience was very good. With 10 people in line, and the baristas working full speed, I was able to get my venti mocha in less than five minutes. This location is large, fairly clean, and nicely decorated. There are many tables and chairs outside on the sidewalk, and on a nice evening, it's a comfortable place to enjoy coffee.
(4)Dorothy P.
Don't judge me for being one of those suburbanite "yuppies" who regularly sips from the iconic white cup with a certain green round label...seriously, I know you're doing it. As I type, I'm sitting at a table by the window, soaking up the free wifi and slurping down a solo espresso with a Pellegrino chaser. Sure, the coffee tastes burned, but I think that's pretty much Starbuck's trademark. There's a fine line between strong and charred coffee, and Starbucks consistently blows right through it. "Why do you keep coming here then?" you might ask. Well, it's the service. Call me crazy, but this particular Starbucks location continually blows me away with their friendly freakin fantastic service. When a local news radio station (that shall remain nameless) erroneously announced that Starbucks was giving away FREE COFFEE, I high tailed it to this location (for those who know me, I'm a total sucker for anything dealing with the "F" word). I was told by the barista that there was no free coffee...that was a promotion from last year-boo. As I was reaching for my wallet to (gasp) pay for my coffee, the guy told me not to worry about it and that he would take care of me. I guess the coffee gods were smiling on me that morning. Today, I came in to grab a late afternoon pick-me-up and to reload my gift card (which comes with perks, I might add. If you don't have a registered Starbucks gift card, I highly advise you invest in one...free coffee flavorings, free birthday drink, coupon perks, "cool factor" of paying with a sweet green card, etc.). Normally when I reload my card at other Starbucks locations, I have to recharge the card first and THEN order my drink (much to the chagrin of my fellow coffee purchasers who now have to wait in line seconds more before they can get their caffeine fix). The sweet barista magically completed my entire transaction in one fell swoop...apparently she likes to save time and register paper too. So shake your head if you must, but for those days when I need a little extra boost and I'm in the area, you bet your sweet smoky coffee bean that I'll be heading to the Starbucks at the Streets of Woodfield.
(4)Larry D.
I love this Starbucks location. The people are friendly and personable. Not only that, they make a great cup of coffee. I love the fact they have the clover machines. They have later open hours and have never failed to deliver exactly what I ask for. It's a spacious Starbucks with ample seating inside and out. No grief, no snicker, no pretentiousness that I receive from other Starbucks locations. Parking is moderate at certain times of the day. There's a big parking lot, but it can be a challenge to find a spot close by. That's right, being in America, most of us do not like walking a short distance. Actually I'm usually running a wee bit late for work and hope I nail a spot close to the door. They are definitely efficient and cordial. Sean, Michael, Stephanie and the rest of the crew are always helpful for my coffee needs.
(5)Christopher H.
Well - it's a Starbucks, which means it's a, well, Starbucks. That said - they have not one but two of the life altering Clover machines. (If you've yet to experience the Clover machine, it makes the best cup of coffee you've ever had. It's the only way to go.) The staff is friendly and efficient. Whenever I'm in town, I'm here every morning.
(5)Jennifer L.
Made the special trip out to the Streets of Woodfield Starbucks for two reasons: (1) the insanely buzzed about Clover Machine and (2) It is one of the select few locations outside of the Pacific Northwest that has rolled out "Starbucks Evenings" pilot program, which famously offers an array of beers, wines and small plates of delicious delectables after 4pm. The Clover coffee was incredibly good. It's the freshest cup of joe you can get aside from making it yourself at home. You can order it hot or over ice and they have several different blends to pick from so as not to narrow your pool of choices. We asked the Barista what he would recommend based on our personal tastes and other Starbucks blends we like (i.e. Cafe Verona) and he suggested the Malaui. He nailed it. The staff as a whole was highly energetic, friendly and knowledgeable. For this particular location, I would expect nothing less and they blew me away with their outstanding service. As for the Starbucks Evenings offerings, we decided to skip it after seeing the prices. A little steep, even by Starbucks standards, unfortunately. Minimum $7-$8 a glass. Not to be a snoot, but I can be just as a happy with a bottle of 3 buck Chuck. Luckily they had a sampling table set up with sparkling white wine -- needless to say, we couldn't pass it up. The overall ambiance is fantastic. It's a great fusion of a very up-to-date, modern Starbucks combined with a cool, after-five lounge feel that at one point was even accompanied by live music on acoustic guitar. Such a pleasant surprise and not something I've ever seen in a major coffee chain! It's a huge space with even a private conference room. If I'm ever in the area again, you bet I'm coming back. And maybe next time I'll shell out a few extra bucks for some of those savory, after dinner offerings.

Pros: 1) The clover/reserve coffee - truth be told, I don't like Starbucks, as a chain - I grew up going to/working at indie coffee shops and I'm a curmudgeon about coffee. The clover system makes me a hypocrite - it makes the best coffee I've had from a coffee shop, hands down. They're not at all Starbucks, but this one has it. 2) Lots of decent seating and lots of power outlets for those of us traveling with our laptops. 3) In the evenings they serve wine. I haven't tried this yet, but it's a good concept, IMHO. Cons: 1) Busy parking lot, spots can be hard to find 2) Wifi speeds are beyond terrible. Consistently.

After 4pm, Starbucks begins selling beer and wine - turning the coffee shop into a, straight out of Italy, Enoteca. Wines range in price from $25 to $60. And while this a bit pricey, the Pinot Grigio and Merlot were quite good. Also unlike your average bar, there is no loud music, awkwardly dark ambience, or tipping! The location is also as large as a restaurant, so there is plenty of seating. According to a Starbucks employee, this is the first of many such "Starbucks Evenings" locations. However future locations will not be nearby but in New York, Georgia, and California.

This Starbuck is pretty amazing, comparatively speaking. I generally prefer coffee shops that aren't chains, but this location has: great staff, plenty of room, and they are open until 12am every night. It has a tendency to be 60 degrees year round, which I find too cold even if i'm drinking coffee. I just make sure I bring a hoodie or jacket every time I visit. The wifi also seems to get a bit bogged-down if it gets too crowded. The new extended menu is nice, there is a small list of appetizer type cuisine if you get munchy. None of which is necessarily a meal unless you're a bird or you order multiple plates. Nonetheless, it goes well with the recent addition of wine and beer on the menu. Overall, great place to hang, for a minute or a few hours.

This is the biggest Starbucks I have ever seen! Lots of comfy seating and friendly staff.

Big Starbucks location. Often pretty full though after 5 pm but you can still find seating. Outdoor seating is nice. This is one that serves alcohol. Good at getting orders right. Right by Woodfield.

Love the ambiance, great place to go after a long day relax and unwind with good friends and great coffee

My goodness! At 8:00AM the buzz and positive attitude in here definitely gets your morning started. First off, I absolutely LOVE this location. Not only the area but the actual Starbucks itself is just my style. Comes off with an urban loft style decor with a hint of manliness. the dark wood, modern seating, the long table in the middle. Perfect. Also it's pretty spacey compared to a lot of others i've been in. The baristas, peppy and incredibly friendly. You sense the chemistry and enjoyment in what they do. I really wanted to stay there all day but unfortunately couldn't. I can just rave about this place for a dozen more paragraphs but I will leave it be with a prefect five stars and hopefully that says enough. 15 min drive from home, and probably 8907310983 Starbucks away, but yes, i WOULD make the short trip here for my daily cup of awesomness. Thanks guys, for a great start to my day! PLEASE keep it up!

Here's one of the bigger Starbucks locations with friendly baristas, who will actually have a conversation with you if you're feeling a little chatty. Because it's one of the bigger locations, there are different sections: tables and booths, hightop tables, couches and comfy chairs, comfy chairs around little tables. Aside from the usual Starbucks drink menu, they also serve wine here. 0_o and little appetizer plates - like a cheese plate for instance. Yup. This is one of the few locations that serves wine. Depending on what you're there for, studying to coffee date, it seems they got you covered.

3 words: terrible, terrible, terrible....for its wifi connection. Don't expect to go there to use the internet for work. I live only about 5 minutes from this Starbucks location. I stopped going there after experiencing terrible wifi connection for 5 times straight (I thought I gave them a chance). Staffs are not helpful either. They are all busy...and they don't know how to troubleshoot internet connection. Hint: Go to the other Starbucks on Golf if you plan to use the wifi. Or, Caribou on Roselle and Golf.

I've been here twice and if I'm in the area, in need of coffee, I'll stop in again. This Starbucks location is definitely the biggest and baddest around; interested to know why? Listen up fellow Yelpers! The most obvious being this is a HUGE Starbucks, one of the largest I've ever seen. (If I'm alone on this, I'll assume I've been living under a rock.) They're stocked up as if it were the main distribution center for the area. For real guys, it's gigantic! The bigger the better, am I right?! Okay, enough about it's size... The baristas are really great at this location; friendly to a 'T', patient, helpful, and they know their sh*t. The last time I was here I only ordered a water while the boyfriend got a coffee (it was already near my bedtime, ok?! I rarely turn down a hot cup of joe!) the girls were so sweet and didn't mind. Want some rare, random coffee from some country you've never heard of? They've probably got it here. Plus 20 other kinds of reserve coffees and such. You can buy any of them by the pound too, none are more than $16/lb. This location also recently introduced beer and wine to their menu. (If you're thinking, "WTF?!" then join the club.) Aaaaaand they have small plates plus other food you may not find at your 'average' Starbucks. I've seen some people come here to study. I have no idea how they focus considering the amount of people moving in, out, and all about this place. However, there are several segregated areas throughout this place; some comfy chairs, some outside tables, some high top tables, some cute tables, etc. Any of these are bound to please your behind! Enjoy this pretty ballin' Starbucks location. I'm positive it'll tickle your fancy, it did mine. =)
(5)Jennifer C.
This is not one of my favorite Starbucks locations because the parking here at the Streets of Woodfield is usually rather complicated. Also it can get REALLY busy so it can be extremely hard to find a seat at times. On the positive side, the staff here is usually friendly and the drinks are good.
(3)Connie L.
This is my favorite Starbucks location. It is open later than the other Starbucks in the area. It is soooo spacious and it makes me feel right at home. The only downfall is that it is located in the Streets of Woodfield, which also means the traffic in and out of the store rarely stops.
(5)Laura N.
This Starbucks location is a great place to meet with friends because it's centrally located from many different suburbs and very large. However, every time I come here, it's way too crowded and I always have to wait to find a place to sit. It's not just groups of people that are occupying the seats, it's individuals who occupy an entire table just so they can spread out their laptop and multiple bags. Either this place needs to be larger, or there needs to be another coffee place nearby for people to meet up. I think a counter against the window for individuals would be a good idea too (as other locations have). Or I guess I should take the responsibility and suggest a different place to go next time I meet a friend.
(3)Justin L.
One of the best Starbucks I've seen, though always busy! The venue is in a great location (Street of Woodfield) and I found the inside to be better designed and more modern. I found no issues with it being cold; in fact, there's a fireplace there which provided ample heat beyond the central air. There's also a kids area, work bench areas, and a roundabout section for individual tables. I've used this as a meet up place a few times, and it's perfect for that! The service is good and the drinks are like any other Starbucks. So I'd say the selling point of this one is simply the design and the very modern interior.
(4)Michelle F.
You made me happy, Starbucks! I ordered the caramel apple cider. Except I wasn't feeling the caramel, so I asked them not to put it in. So the guy behind the counter, upon hearing this, only charges me for the kid's size one! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
(4)Crystal X.
CONS: 1. AC is on full BLAST 2. Chatter box level on HIGH (extremely HIGH) 3. Tough to find seats 4. Employees re-stocking and on their cell phone...??? 5. Music on BLAST 6, WI-FI is SLOOOOWWWW... please fix this! PROS: 1. New seating "soft arm chair" section and high tables 2. Private conference/meeting room Thoughts about the new wine list: 1. About time we caught up to Europe..... 2. After 4 pm.... fine i get it! we have more DUI's than Europe with liquor age consumption 3. Ummm... $9 for a glass of wine at Starbucks...??? 4. Free Wine Tasting SUCKS!
(2)Britni W.
This has got to be one of the best stocked Starbucks I've ever seen. The staff is super polite and if you go a handful of times they will learn your normal order pretty quick. They have a large selection of food to pick from to go with your coffee and cook it up fast. There is plenty of room to sit if you want to enjoy your food in house or take it to go. This place is a actual coffee house unlike the standard in and out Starbucks. So come, sit, relax and enjoy.
(4)Peter K.
They are like all other Starbucks I know. EXCEPT this place is FREEZING. Make sure you bring a jacket in even during the summer. It feels like they keep the place at 50 degrees. It's also fairly busy and they play soft music in there. Because it's super busy and in the middle of the Streets of Woodfield, there are lot of people that pass through, though they have a nice center station where there are boat loads of plugs to plug into and do work.
(3)Duftur D.
Although I love this place for its location, ambiance, and coffee.... I would say this is one of the most poorly managed starbucks ever! The company advertises evening menu like crazy but for consistently the last month I've been coming here 3-4 times a week, they NEVER have flatbreads or anything vegetarian from their menu. They always run out at like 5pm. I can understand once in a while, but 18 out of 20 times I've attempted to order food from the evening menu, they have been out. What is the point if you don't carry enough in stock! Hungry and Annoyed!
(1)Darren W.
It's a Starbucks. It's in Woodfield. It's good. I find myself here almost weekly and love the clover press!
(4)Anthony B.
Friendly Staff, Fast Service, Love Going To This Store.i enjoy going to this store the most that is closer to me cause they make me feel welcome
(3)Peter R.
Yea its official...this is my favorite Starbuck location in the burbs. I'm not saying that just because I'm actually sitting in the communal table tapping away on my laptop. I have been sitting here for almost 2 hours just watching people lounging on the comfy leather seats, and sofa's sippin' on the liquid crack. I realized that I actually drive out of my way when there is like 25 billion Starbucks closer to the crib. I go to this one because this is the one with the most awesome vibe and ambiance...and the service has always been excellent. That's it and that's that...now back to my Grande Mocha.
(5)Gustavo A. L.
Its location among the Streets of Woodfield, gives this Starbucks a touch of an urban feel among this suburban world. It is comfortably large, with plenty of places to plop down and open your laptop, either for work or pleasure. Weather permitting, you can grab your latte and soak up the sun while watching the Suburb specimens walk by. The staff has always been friendly and the latte ... well it's a Starbucks latte.
(4)Carla L.
Love this Starbucks, by far my favorite. Its a great place to hang out and have some coffee, hang out and chat with friends or just read a book, it is clean comfortable and very large. Every time I am at the Streets of Woodfield I have a cuppa Joe here.
(5)Mandy S.
Very convenient location for meeting clients in the Suburbs. Very large location with tons of great seating options both inside & out. Due to the great location, it's often packed; if you're planning to meet clients during peak days/times, arrive early to scout out a table. This location has all the other typical amenities of any Starbucks location. Staff is always friendly & polite.
(4)Jack P.
Wow, this this is nicest, most spacious, attractive and well laid out Starbucks I've ever seen. It's in this "Faux-ville" section of the Woodfield Mall area which is kind of an instant town they put up so suburbanites can feel as if they live in a real town; and all the Hollywood yearning, overly made up young gals can come there to hang out and act like Lindsey or Brittany. But seriously, what a nice rendezvous spot this is. I am very mall averse, but I would come back here in a minute. If, like today, I need to be out there for some reason. Nice outdoor seating, too. Great views of Interstate 355! And the jive translation: Wow, dis dis be supa' finest, most spacious, attractive and sheeit laid out Starbucks I've eva' seen. 'S coo', bro. It's in dis "Faux-ville" secshun uh de Woodfield Mall area which be kind'a an instant town dey put down so's suburbanites kin feel as if dey live in some real town; and all de Hollywood yearnin', overly made down yung gals kin mosey on down dere t'hang out and act likes Lindsey o' Brittany.

If, likes today, ah' need t'be out dere fo' some reason. 'S coo', bro. Nice outdoo' seatin', too. Great views uh Interstate 355. Right On!
(4)Erik H.
Normally there's really no point in reviewing a place like this - a Starbucks is a Starbucks is a Seattle coffee chain. But the one in the Streets of Woodfield is just a little something special. And that little something is the Clover machine - the wonderful $11,000 contraption that makes the smoothest, most velvety cup of black coffee I've ever had. Which pretty much causes my criticism of regular Starbucks coffee - that it's too sharp - to disintegrate into the most pillowy brew imaginable. Enough gushing though. The place is also really big, one of the biggest in the U.S. I've heard, and yet it still somehow seems to fill up. Whatever, just come and enjoy an eleven grand cup of coffee.
(4)Margaux D.
This is the biggest Starbucks I've ever seen. Well done, sir. Well done.
(5)Richard S.
Good place to work, read, have a conversation.
(4)Shradha A.
Very friendly and quick staff! Cute fireplace, but it was not lit when we stopped by!
(4)Deena D.
The pictures dont do this spot justice! Biggest Starbucks I have ever seen! Lots of tables and work areas to get things done or catch up with friends. If you have a team meeting I would highly recommend utilizing their conference area space or posting up on the cool vintage tables/chairs. If i did more work in Schaumburg I would be here more often!
(4)Pree N.
This starbucks is beauuuutiful. It's huge and it has plenty of seating and cute couches by the fireplace! They also have beer/wine and the works. It's open till 12 on weekdays at least... and definitely take advantage of the pretty outdoor seating-it's almost like a 4-star restaurant outside! Red Mango fro yo is right across the street. Love this place, wish it was 24 hour and if it was, I would move back to Schaumburg.
(5)Edzellou A.
We often come here, as it's the closest to our place. The coffee is generally pretty reliable, though we have had a couple of not-so-good cups. It's a very large store and always fairly busy, so sometimes getting a good seat can be tricky. Although the service is generally good, I had one run-in with a staff member recently where an order was mixed up and she was very abrupt and rude about it, which put me off. I understand that they get busy, but being told off in front of other customers for picking up the wrong order is really not on! As a regular customer, I'd think it wouldn't be too much to make another coffee when an honest mistake occurs, without making a big deal out of it. The team here are very efficient and good at what they do. It's quite impressive to watch them at work during peak time!
(3)Cyril S.
Atmosphere is good. Service was good. Only thing bad was the wi-fi was too slow
(3)Brook E.
The best thing about this Starbucks is how they are just AWESOME at getting you in and and out of here. The line may look long, but don't worry, just step in line and you'll be out in no time. I'm not a big fan about how many people seem to use this Starbucks like their personal office space, so it's not the kind of coffee shop I'd go to to relax. It's fine though if you're just needing to get a fix (of caffeine, of course!)
(4)Danielle S.
LOVE this Starbucks. Wonderful friendly service, always acurate and tasty drinks. It is small, but it's a nice atmosphere and by a lot of shops!
(5)Marie C.
The only Starbucks in the burbs that matches my old North & Wells location. Spacious and plenty of younger people hanging out and working. But - is it just me, or does there ALWAYS seem to be some awkward first and/or blind date next to you when you're trying to work? Blech!
(5)Daniel U.
Always busy, however the service is great and they take and fulfill your order quickly.
(4)Pamela M.
I've enjoyed meeting friends and business associates at this location for years. They've done a nice job over time of improving the layout to accomodate the consumer need. This latest upgrade is the best yet. New chat areas and curtains to cut the din of noise add a clubby feel. The after-4 wine and small plate addition is impressive. The wine we chose was good and the prices are reasonable. We sampled 3 small plates and they were all good, as were the toasted pumpkin seeds they provided. The only draw back was the time lag to get the small plates. It took several minutes--far longer than a coffee drink might. Starbucks might consider giving out numbers that sit on the table (like Corner Bakery does) for this service. That said I'll go back!
(4)Ryan K.
Great starbucks, especially when they aren't super-busy. The wait is never long at all, the employees are great, and it's a pretty neat space. Small complaint, but the internet can get bogged down sometimes.
(4)Leo r.
GREAT Nothing Better Than A starbucks Coffee. Alot of People Study here . Great Furniture tables could Be bigger I LIke IT alot
(4)Tony D.
Total remodel...Nice. This has to be the nicest SBUX I've ever been in. New tables, new couches, new chairs.... At least I know where my money is going.
(4)Jonathon E.
Nice big Starbucks. Gets really full during busy hours and bathrooms suck but there is plenty of seating and service is quick. Overall one of the better Starbucks I've been to.
(4)Edward B.
Some *bux locations are better than others, and this one is on the high side. Big, roomy, lots of electrical outlets for the wired set (of which I'm always part), and baristas who say hello and make decent drinks.
(3)Grace L.
This starbucks is always crowded. I think it has to due with the awesome interior,free wifi, awesome lattes/fraps, and cleanliness. Also I love that I'm always greeted with a smile here; instead of a snobbish attitude (like the other location, inside Target on higgins rd)
(5)Monika J.
Love the smiley faces at this location
(4)Kellie S.
This Starbucks is frickin ginormous! I've never seen a Starbucks with a fireplace and conference room inside it. I love the location and that everyone is just hanging out getting their drink on.
(5)Natasha O.
All I can say is... 70 degrees yesterday and I was sitting outside soaking up the weather and having some great conversation. The service is fast even though it always seems packed. Always a nice late night stop, as well, if you're not up for a drink of the alcoholic variety. Just be prepared to put up with the overflow of 21- kids.
(4)Maria L.
tthey`re open late.good idea.i like cup of coffie at night
(5)Scott S.
This Starbucks has plenty of space, but it can get pretty busy. It is open late on the weekends (12 or 1am I believe), has a movie theater, GameWorks and a bunch of restaurants nearby. My biggest complaint, however, is that they always tend to keep the temperature really low. I always need to warm up my feet and hands regularly if I'm doing work for a long time while I am here.
(4)Joyce A.
What makes this Starbucks so special? Well, it has so much life going on all around it. It is located in the Streets of Woodfield right across from the Woodfield Mall. On a Saturday night, during balmy weather there are just so many people out and about- great to unwind and people watch! And with all of the little outdoor tables and benches it gives it a European flair. I reminds me of sitting at an outdoor coffee platz in Innsbrook.
