I'm not giving any starbucks more than the stars and i want to kind of apologize to the staff for that. But Starbucks in general is neither the best nor the most affordable coffee anywhere. This is especially true in Hawaii.
To any visitors, go to any local coffee farm to taste real coffee! You are literally an hour drive from Kona. THE Kona known for the best coffees on the planet.
That being said I totally had an iced latte and it was super convenient and a completely mid experience. The staff was great, service was fast, and it tasted exactly the same as the Starbucks in every other state or airport or Safeway I've ever walked into before so at least you know what to expect and there is something to be said for consistency I suppose.
But shame on both of us for not patronizing a local establishment just because this place is on the corner. I'm satisfied, but I'm also ashamed.
I'm messin' with you, it's just a Starbucks, no one here gonna judge you for it. 🤙 But you really should check out a local farm and stop wasting time reading reviews about Starbucks...
Aloha ya'll!

I'd like to recognize one of the workers France Vivien for being so polite and for working with us when our favorite drinks were out. She was by far the nicest Starbucks worker I've met. We enjoyed the drinks she recommended and her smiles made our day!

I just had the BEST Starbucks drink I've had on island or even ever! Brown Sugar Oat milk Espresso, light ice, extra oat milk. Seriously good flavor, the person working on the bar today Jan 6 in the afternoon knows how to make delicious drinks! Also conveniently located inside Safeway. I always try to support local coffee shops but when coffee is in the place of shopping it is really convenient!
So disappointed! Paid $6.44 for a cappuccino with a shot of raspberry. Can't really taste the coffee or the raspberry. This happened at the Starbucks across the street too! I guess they are watering the coffee down corporate wide. For $5.75 I get a bigger raspberry cuppucino at Just Crusin that is flavorful and is a strong brew. Sorry Starbucks, never wasting money on your inferior coffee again!
Starbucks is always good cause it seems as though they’re every where! I cannot say they never get my drink wrong or they’re always stocked with their menu items BECAUSE NOT TRUE!!! But there are Starbucks diehards and there are Coffee diehards! When visiting our state of Hawaii or any state or country - support small business, support local small business! So many local small business put their heart and soul into their work! Yes, you may pay a little more but you truly invest into the families in each town, each community and each district - as Hawaii really don’t have cities! We really try our best to enjoy the talents found in so many communities! And yes, we enjoy a good Starbucks drink too!
We all had to grab a refreshing drink after we were finished with our shopping in Target. Not a bad place for a souvenir too! We bought 4 cups, varying sizes, to use as gifts when we got back home! Same quality you expect at any other location! Aloha!!
