This Starbucks is decent, located at 404 and Major Mackenzie. There’s a lot of parking but there’s a limited amount of seating. Staff are pretty nice and quick, I don’t usually go to Starbucks, I’m more of a Timmies guy. For Starbucks lovers, it’s probably heavenly but it’s just average in my opinion. 3⁄5

This place is good! Staff are very friendly, in comparison to the other locations(at least the girl that helped me with my order). That’s probably why I choose to go back, so I can get her to take my order again. On top of that, she knows how to spell my name PROPERLY… Lol

The staff at this location are all nice, the store maintains its cleanliness almost all the time and there is ample seating both inside and on the patio. The downsides here are that it can be difficult to find a parking spot direcetly in front of the store since it shares the parking lots with several other stores in the same plaza. Aside from occasional parking difficulty, the biggest downside to this place is that it can get crazy packed with high school students during the weekdays. The staff work well and keep the line moving, but if you are in a rush or want a calm meeting spot(especially during lunch-hours and 3pm-ish), I wouldn’t recommend coming here because of the concentrated volume of high school students from the high school next door.

This Starbucks is probably one of the nicest Starbucks! The atmosphere is great and the service is fantastic! The staff here are very friendly and talkative so it doesn’t get boring here. The bar is gas definitely know their stuff and they have fun with it! If you look at their name tags they got pokemon with it or other symbols, which is pretty awesome! The seating is a bit limited, but I think most Starbucks are limited in seating. The crowd that comes in here is ok sometimes. After School times you get a ton of high school people and if they annoy you then avoid around 3−4pm. The parking is quite limited it’s shared by rbc bank, Scotia bank and swiss chalet. There’s a ton of parking by the td across but most people would probably want to park in front. Will probably always come here when I get a chance since no other Starbucks compare to here!

Love this Starbucks! Its in my area and definitely my go-to location. Service here is always topnotch. The baristas are always friendly, and definitely get to know their customers! Many baristas have also been there for a long time and are quite experienced. They provide samples of food from time to time, and really make an effort when the store is very busy! They are always well stocked as well, as many other stores will be out of certain syrups or teas, but they will have them in stock!

My only complaint with this location is that it’s a lilt hard to find a parking spot. Other than that, it’s one of my favourite Starbucks.

This is the worse starbucks I go to. I come here all the time because I work in the area. Some of them don’t even say thank you. No manner for the business. Starbucks is a upper end of a coffee shop. When it gets busy they make the wrong order because they chat so much.

This is the BEST starbucks in markham. I refuse to go to any other starbucks because the service just does not compare. I’ve been visiting this location ever since it opened and though many staff have come and go, I’ve learned to get to know most of them and they are the NICEST! Even though I’ve quit starbucks and sugary drinks, I come back to this one just for the service!(And to get a unsweetened passion tea) The store is narrow so sometimes you may not get a seat, but I never choose coffee shops as a study place anyway. Too many people rushing by. Also. my condolences if you are caught working here during the after school rush. Those teenage girls need their frappucinos! The manager, James is so helpful and nice! He is so sweet and is a great person to talk to. The staff are all friendly and they will strike conversations with you while they are making their drinks, no matter how busy it is. They all know what they’re doing! I love this starbucks because although I hate serving customers, they make me want to work there just because they are actually like a little family — they have a instagram and they have cute polaroids on their wall of their staff. I wish all my co-workers got along so well! AND… to the review saying ‘service is good except for the chinese lady’ … WELL excuse you, that’s racist as fuck and BARBARA is one of the nicest ladies you’ll meet. She’s efficient and smiley, and although sometimes she can seem to be rushing you since her voice is so fast, she’s not! Ahhh. I’ve gushed way too much about my love for this starbucks. You know a place is going to keep their business running when people don’t come for what they offer, but rather who is offering it.

While the parking is a challenge, and the suburban strip-mall setting lacks outdoor seating, this is a fairly functional if not attractive Starbucks location. The location is particularly convenient for Toronto Via 404 commuters, since it is just before the on-ramp. Lack of a drive thru definitely makes it a second-level coffee spot for the car set, though.

I do like this Starbucks. Every time I’m here, I always manage to snag a seat. You can comfortably do some work and munch on a tasty snack while downing it with a hand-crafted beverage. The only downside is that the parking lot is shared with Rogers, two banks, and the Harvey’s-Swiss Chalet. So, you may need to park it bit farther. Staff members are always friendly here.

My usual stop for Starbucks on those days I think I need one(If it’s Monday, that’s good enough reason). Never had a problem here — staff is always courteous, gets my order right, and the line moves quickly. Haven’t had any issues with coupons either, and the coffee is always fairly consistent in quality. Can’t speak to the accuracy or quality of their food items as I tend to stick with just coffee. Store is long and narrow but no issues — I’ve never sat down there and it might not be the Starbucks with the greatest ambience(the one on Main St. Unionville is much nicer), but you’ll be comfortable, and it’s fairly quiet. Another reviewer said that the Google Maps location wasn’t accurate — I checked and it looks accurate now, so all is well in the internets. Just a tip — there’s lots of parking but if you want to be lazy and get closer to the door, you can park in the Scotiabank courtesy spots if it’s early and the bank hasn’t yet opened(it opens at 9:30).

I have been to this location a fair number of times. However, I tend to just get my regular no room grande pike. The brew typically is fine — the odd too bitter(bad brew) but otherwise okay. We came here as a family once and the lattes appeared to be made properly. When going in this direction(from Richman’s Hill) I tend to come here and not go to the one at Bayview/Major Mack(separate review).

This is a convenient on my way to the office Starbucks. The staff are mostly friendly and helpful, but it seems they have a lot of part-timers or new people who aren’t so. er clueful. I mean, when I order a classic breakfast sandwich, I find it odd when they ask me which one. There is only one classic breakfast sandwich. I also find that the classic breakfast sandwich has been sold out a few times in the morning. Argh… I want my breakfast sandwich! The baristas make good coffee, and it’s always as hot as I want it to be without asking for extra hot.

I had a coupon that I found on redflagdeals for a FREE Tall Blonde Roast but they didn’t honour it so that was kind of bad. Thats why they are getting 3.5 stars instead of the 4* that I give most Starbucks. I am always here in the morning because I NEEDMYSTARBUCKS before heading south in the morning and this is the closest Starbucks that I can get to that is closer to an Exit, the other Markham one is not as convenient on Main St. LIKES: Free Wifi and the connection is good, pretty clean.=D DISLIKES: they didn’t honor my free coupon! sometimes when it is busy in the mornings, they don’t have enough staff. Update: Do not offer many free coupons

service here is top notch(as most starbucks are!) i like that they have a patio that is wi-fi accessible. i don’t like that it faces a busy street. 4 stars because it’s really, really close to my house.

Why I like this Starbucks? — I found seats! and I got to pick where I sit! There is not really usual! — Every seats have electric outlets close by! I don’t need to be like crazy woman wondering where the outlets are! — Nice jazzy music. and people here are quiet… all like me typing away on the laptop or studying! — The back area for sure is spacious! and have big windows too… And of course the WIFI is working! :) So I can write this review LIVE! Why I don’t like this Starbucks? — It is closing at Monday to Thur 9:30 pm! And the staffs were cleaning up and stacking up the chairs even before 9 pm!

So new that google maps can’t even map it correctly at the moment. This Starbucks is actually located off Markland Street which is just east of the 404 on the north side of Major Mackenzie Dr E inside the large plaza. You can’t miss it. There’s a TD located in that plaza as well. While downtown coffee places have their urban vibe, I found this suburban location quiet, pleasant and still busy. It is a great location for a productive morning working on whatever grand schemes people have that they work on in coffee shops. No need for headphones to tune out the people vibe here when one really wants to focus. The seating area in the back is fairly separated from the front counter where the baristas do their magic. There is also seating up front if one wants to people watch. The product is great as usual. The baristas are friendly. The wifi works very well. It is very spacious. Parking is plentiful. Given that this is Markham, it’s not really within easy walking distance of anything besides the other shops in the plaza.
