14/09/2026: Great service! Ordering in English was no problem at all. The drinks were prepared quickly.
04/09/2026: I love this Starbucks. It's ideally located in the heart of a lively area of the 15th arrondissement; since I enjoy exercising, I happily walk 30 minutes each way, accumulating an hour of cardio daily while getting my caffeine fix.
If I'm not giving it 5 stars, it's not for the drinks, the food, or the location. It's due to two things:
* The overworked staff: you can really tell they're exhausted. Honestly, Starbucks, you're making billions: hire a few more people so these poor baristas can catch their breath! They work tirelessly and do their best to keep smiling, but they look completely worn out. And finally, fix the air conditioning and ventilation problems; the working conditions are appalling.
* Those who squat like it's a library: half the time, it feels less like a café and more like a university study hall. Young people in their twenties take over tables for four as if they were their private offices. If you dare ask one of these Gen Z students to share a table meant for four, they'll stare at you as if you've just landed from Mars. Come on, it's a café, not your living room, so a little courtesy, please!
I love this Starbucks. It’s right in the middle of a lively pocket of the 15th arrondissement, and since I like getting my steps in, I gladly walk 30 minutes each way just to clock an hour of daily cardio for my caffeine fix.
The only reason this isn’t a 5-star ⭐️ review has nothing to do with the drinks, the food, or the location. It comes down to two things:
* The overworked staff: You can literally feel how stretched thin they are. Come on, Starbucks, you’re pulling in billions—hire a few more hands so these poor baristas can catch their breath! They hustle non-stop and do their best to smile, but they look utterly exhausted. Also, take out the AC and ventilation already; the working conditions in there are ridiculous.
* The library squatters: Half the time, the place feels less like a café and more like a university study hall. Twenty-somethings treat four-person tables like their personal corner offices. If you dare ask one of these Gen Z students to share a table meant for four, they glare at you like you just dropped in from Mars. Give me a break—it’s a café, not your living room, so show a little courtesy! 🤣🤣
