The service here has gotten really lousy. I waited in the drive thru for 20 minutes once recently, employees never acknowledged the ridiculous wait time. I complained to Starbucks corporate and got a couple coupons. Recent visits have taken upwards of 15 minutes to get my order. Today, I backed out of the drive thru after sitting there for five minutes waiting to make my order. I won't return to this Starbucks for a while.

Standard Starbucks in the South: spotless, quick and friendly. Convenient location if you're heading to or from downtown.

It's a Starbucks. Although this one is on the small side. They get a lot of college traffic and wifi squatters. Parking? The worst. My advice-park at the Rite Aid next door

Nice location just a short drive/walk from "downtown" Clemson . . . Love the outdoor seating this time of year (mid-Sep) . . . The barista I initially interacted with was very friendly/professional and my food & beverage order spot on . . . Had the unfortunate experience of asking a different employee at the bar (she looked like a supervisor of some sort) for a tall water. She didn't look happy, so I thanked her--three times--and she never said a word to me. . . . Didn't even answer when I initially asked for the water (though she gave it to me) . . . Left a bad taste after an otherwise pleasant visit . . . This store is still strong and I'd go again if I'm in the area in the future.

It's fine as far as Starbucks go. Service is relatively slow as they seem to only cater only to the drive-thru people. I have had to wait at the counter for up to 4 minutes while 3 people stare at me chatting on their headphones. There is one barista in particular who is terrible though. Short, dark-haired with a name tag that says "JuJu". She is constantly texting on her iphone on the job. She has a bad attitude and makes drinks poorly. I often hear her complain about her job and about other customers. In my one month stay at Clemson I unfortunately had to deal with her surly attitude many times. Why is she still an employee Starbucks? As a Seattle-native who knows many Starbucks employees I know that these things are unacceptable but I never see any sort of actions taken by shift leads or managers to rectify them. Maybe things are just different in SC.

I've never been to a Starbucks where the barista has to ask the customer what an Americano is, but then again I've never been to Clemson, SC either.

I've never went inside. Drive thru only. The wait time varies. The bacon gouda sandwich is my favorite followed by the sausage and cheddar. They don't serve jelly, so I don't get the sausage sandwich often. Great coffee and friendly staff.

Two stars only for retaining the quality of Starbucks products. But- the service here is AWFUL 5-10 min. wait times just for a regular coffee. NO ONE ON STAFF is ever in any hurry or cares that the drive thru line is wrapped around the building or out the door in the store. I've had enough time to walk out of there drive all the way to the Starbucks in Central at Ingles and get FANTASTIC and FAST service there. FIVE STARS to the Central Ingles Starbucks crew. Clemson Starbucks is by far the worst standalone Starbucks I've ever had the displeasure of visiting.

One of my recently found two places to chill/get work done. Friendly staff and atmosphere with adequate seating both inside and on the patio with access to electrical outlets. Not too big on coffee but it's also good as well as their lemon ale and cookies.

Great coffee, fast service. Consistent. Can't go wrong. Big fan of the breakfast sandwich and the oatmeal as well.

Fast service and on a Friday night at 6:39. If that is not fast service I don't know what is.

Had this after hitting up Dunkin' Donuts this morning. Service was a little slower than other Starbucks I've been to and they messed my order up, but it was quickly fixed. Starbucks in Clemson, eh? They don't even have a Wal-Mart in Clemson... yet.
