Starbucks — Restaurant in Lower Merion Township

I've been to this Starbucks more than a dozen times and every time I regret it. The parking lot is a s*-show. There's about 10 parking spots, some of which are 10 minutes but those 10 minute parking spots are generally occupied for hours. The service is terrible. Most-recently it took 20 minutes to get a quad-espresso today, and the barista was making drinks for all the women that ordered after me before brewing my simple drink. It's a loud, cramped, and stressful coffee shop. The one good thing this Starbucks has is the outdoor patio which is great during the warmer months.

Let's face it - Starbucks has good coffee but it's expensive. If I'm going to pay top-dollar for coffee then I want better service and a welcoming atmosphere. The mainline has much better to offer than Starbucks. Do yourself a favor and checkout Hothouse Cafe next to the Bryn Mawr Film Institute, the New Leaf Club next to the Rosemont station, Bruegger's Bagels or Saxby's. All of which have better service, atmosphere, and...

Yes I agree staff not knowledgeable. I ordered hot vanilla blonde like latte. I was given latte which tasted like blend water with an old socks scent. I was offered the correct order but I've had so much better. I think those who are cashiers should stay cashiers and train baristas as baristas. The tables weren't wiped down, so many bread crumbs the pigeons would have been happy dining on top of the bread crumbs on tables.

The cashier/ barista pronounced my sister's name incorrectly. ( She had a gift card ) I would have skipped this place. Her name has only 3 letters. I advise less talking among the employees and more focus on correct orders and especially making quality coffee.

There are plenty of nice cafes in Villanova other than Starbucks. I recommend skipping the Starbucks, instead go to other cafes cleaner, nice interior and better coffee.

Friendly staff, good coffee, and entertainment galore. If you'd like to watch mainline blue bloods with more money than you have in your bank in their wallet act like they have never had to buy coffee for themselves before, let alone drive their own car, then you should park across the street in the lot for $.25, take the excruciatingly long 35ft walk back, and watch as they circle and circle and honk and scream at each other and bang into each other's cars all the while putting on makeup and shopping for their 37th pair of full price lululemon yoga pants.

THEN when you get inside you can hear the most absurdly specific orders for GMO free organic fair trade no growth hormone antibiotic free 1/15oz soy skim swami blessed latte with the milk dripped in one drop at a time so as not to bruise the chi of the coffee and only 3 grains of raw sugar served at 112°F please...

It's that sort of place you think only exists on a show...
