It was a so enjoyable place with special pumpkin spice latte. Nearby train station and a pleasure surroundings.

This is and will always be my favorite Starbucks! The employees here quickly learn your drink and make the start to my day a pleasure!

It's a Starbuck's, so we all know what to expect when going in there to get our morning fix. That said, the crew that works here is wonderful. I went in to pick up some coffee, they noticed I wasn't feeling well and suggested I have what they call their "sick tea" instead. It's a blend of two teas which they gave me on the house. I went back everyday for a week ordering that tea because it made my throat feel so much better.

Service isn't good. Baristas are rude and one didn't know how to make a drink and asked me how to make it! I thought it was a joke. Police often come inside and as well as homeless people and other rude customers. It's also really small and often there is no place to sit.

Maybe it is just me, but I prefer Caribou coffee. I rarely have great customer service in any Starbucks and this place is no exception, so I head over to Caribou and I am pleased. Also, I can order a large iced coffee and not be corrected, you mean a "venti" with an attitude.

Dirty, disorganized and unfriendly They let homeless sit there all day and wash thier clothes in the restroom but threaten everyone in line for the bathroom during the 4th of July Community Parade that they will shut the restroom down and kick everyone out. Not so nice.....

Starbucks in Downers Grove is always hoppin! I like that they have the variety of juices, raw snacks, and hot teas. A health-minded lifestyle is my normal way, so they fit right in. Plus, they are right next door!

I had the urge to go into this Starbucks today, and just as for a Venti Whipped Cream. Just a cup full of whipped cream. There's something about Starbucks whipped cream, with just a hint of vanilla, that makes me think its really made with some type of addictive drug. I don't go into this Starbucks too much, usually i frequent the Caribou across the railroad tracks, but whenever I have a sweet tooth, nothing can cure it like one of their coconut chocolate chunk bars and a Dulce De Leche Latte! I think the reason I stay away is because it can be hard to get into, because the people who wait for the bus on the corner always crowd into the entrance foyer, making getting in and out a hassle. Like today; it was nice out, you don't need to wait for the bus inside.

I want more from my coffee shop than just coffee. Typical Starbucks coffee, not much to argue there. However, there's little room to sit, relax and enjoy your cuppa joe.

This Starbucks is conveniently located near the Downers Grove Main Station. I take the train often to and from the city and when I am in need of coffee, I just make a quick stop here before I continue my journey on the train. This location offers street parking around the store. The store is small but the employees were fast and efficiently to make your drinks. There's about 3 small tables and a few loveseats and an area of high stools that faces the window for you to sit and study and people watch while you enjoy your cup of joe. I would definitely come to this place because of its location and staff but I would not recommend coming here if you want to study in a group of more than two people.

I enjoy Starbucks for the consistency and atmosphere. I think of it as a place to spend some time enjoying coffee and, potentially, company. Another important factor is the attentiveness of the staff. This Starbucks fit most of my criteria. As always, I ordered a Venti Pike with a small, empty cup on the side (I use it for a little skim milk to be added separately). I received the order as placed, and the Venti was filled to the brim (unlike some other, stingier locations!), and service was rapid. However, some things about the store were lacking for me. The boomerang-shaped layout made it confusing where the line should begin. Lucky me, there was none. However, I stood at the counter a good 2 minutes before the baristas broke from their conversation about getting a new car from a parent before they addressed me. I used my iPad for its app, since I've been having trouble with my phone, and the cashier made a rather snarky comment about it. As soon as she put the coffee on the counter and checked that I'd paid, she walked away to return to her conversation. I felt a little bit ignored and underserved. I guess it's okay, but Starbucks has always been a friendly oasis to me. The bar area was well stocked and neat. There was plenty of skim milk, which made me happy! But no chocolate dust :[ That's okay. I found an empty seat and settled in. But again, layout made a difference. Because of the 'boomerang' shape, seating was shoved into the very ends, in corners. There wasn't a lot of seating to begin with, and it felt cramped, cold, and impersonal. The large shared tables and communal sitting areas which are usual features of a Starbucks were lacking. Instead, there were two plastic-y chairs, a few tables, and a sitting bar against the window. It wasn't conducive to friendliness or sense of community. A plus: The WiFi not only worked, but didn't logout randomly, and was pretty fast! This is a big plus. I've been at several Starbucks with spotty WiFi connections, which conflicts with my ability to work. It's almost like wasted time. So definite plus for reliable WiFi. Finally, easily accessible via nearby train station and easy walk from neighboring suburbs. Overall, balances out to an average Starbucks. Nothing special, and lacking in a few areas. RE-CAP: Accuracy: +, service: -, cleanliness/well-stocked: +, layout/atmosphere: -, functioning WiFi: +, location +

After really terrible hotel coffee, I was jonsing for a hot, delicious cup of caffeine. This Starbucks hit the spot. Unfortunately the line was crazy long and there wasn't a clear path to the queue, but after a little wait, I got my fix and the rest is history!
