Consistent coffee quality, courteous staff, free Wi-Fi, and the availability of seats in this busy spot, lift the Astor Place Starbucks above average. The DJ, real or bot, isn't bad either.
Customizing your coffee is my favourite thing about Starbucks. I love the Skinny Vanilla Latte & their new Cinnamon DolceLatte Skinny. Their pumpkin and lemon loaf are also super delish!
Summer pro tip: half lemonade + half green tea. Unsweetened is key - just the right amount of sweet comes from the lemonade. Look at how refreshing this looks!
Madewell's Denim Roadtrip will be at Astor Place on 4/12/12 on between 12-7pm. Stop by for some very special surprises, including a styling station, a hair-braiding bar and a secret deal.
Large and spacious. Lots of NYU students. Long lines form for use of the two restrooms (at least they have two!). Adequate number of electrical outlets.
consistently good in terms of taste, but watch out! nontraditional orders are a hit or miss - some of your modifiers will occasionally get lost in translation.
It's really quite irritating how they close most of the seating area at night when the place is packed. There's nowhere to sit but plenty of open seating in closed-off areas.
This is actually a nice Starbucks with very good service and staff. However, I usually opt for the Mud Truck instead bc they have better coffee. I only come here when I need coffee + nosh.
