A one-line review:
The parking at this Starbucks is a pain in the ass, the drinks take a long time to make and it's always really crowded, but it's 24 hrs and back when I lived in Ann Arbor I gained 10 pounds happily munching on scones and coffee cake after dinner almost every night.Listed in: Chain Chain Chaaaaiiiinnnsss, Ann Arbor, Revisited

I haven't been to this starbucks in years, and I was going to spend the day in Ypsi with a friend of mine, and we always meet up at Arborland mall. I remember when this starbucks went in, many many years ago!
I went into this Starbucks because I needed coffee, there's plenty of seating, and its a common place to meet.
The staff here was friendly and awesome! I went with a cafe mocha, and a chocolate chip coffee cake thing. Drink was hot, food was tasty, and its always a pleasure to stop into a familiar place every now and then.
The downside to this starbucks is that its kind of in a clustered tight area. Parking is tight just about every minute of the day. Its much easier to park in the bigger lot, cross the little drive way, and walk all the way down instead of trying to park out in front of the shop.
Also, the place was jam packed when I was there, and since it was downpouring, no one could sit outside. Despite the ample seating inside, during the winter months and rainy days, your limited to indoor seating.
Anyways, aside from tight parking, place is awesome. Great staff here!Listed in: Metro Detroit

I don't like Starbucks, but I keep coming back to this place because it has some sort of magic studying power. Open 24 hours with unusually friendly, nice staff, I usually spend at least 5 hours camped out at a table doing reading here on weekends. The fireplace is cozy, but the nicest part is the availability of outlets to compliment the free wireless. The best Starbucks in the area, though I'm not sure that says very much.

I unabashedly like Starbucks as a concept and as a cafe. Their drinks are good. Maybe I've never had "real" coffee, or whatever, but I don't care. I even like THIS Starbucks! The staff is friendly and I don't even mind the parking situation.
However, I always feel like it's packed with UM students between like 8 and 4am. It puzzles me. Don't they have their own 24-hour haunts to haunt? -

Everytime I visit this Starbucks, the staff are always very friendly and the food and drinks are great. I love the cake pops and other assorted treats, and I also love that they have hard to find music available for purchase as well.

How do you rate a chain store/restaurant/business on Yelp? I don't think I've ever actually done it. Anyway, Starbucks is Starbucks. The coffee is A-OK, the service is fine and this place is decently busy. Reading the other reviews, it seems that this place operates 24/7. I may need to make some late night stops in the future so I'll need to keep this place in mind.

This is Starbucks with Starbucks Coffee and Starbucks prices, so I'm not going to spend time dissing Starbucks as a concept, as in other reviews. It is a very busy Starbucks. The line is frequently deep.
Why to come here? 24 hours! Convenient to freeway! Fireplace!! Fireplace also faces and warms the patio outside!! (Too bad the patio faces a major divided road, which is not a charming and quiet patio-like location. But you can have your little zone of civility out there, if the traffic and the weather are right.)
Why not to come here? If you are thinking this is your workspace away from home and that you will find a nice seat with an outlet at any particular time of the day to occupy in solitude for hours, bathed in the blue light of your glowing screen. You have about a 20% chance of getting a spot in the off-peak hours, and about a 5% chance of getting one in the peak 'study hall' hours.
If you need to park within 100 feet of the door, parking is impossible here. If you are willing to walk 500 feet for your Starbucks there is ample parking in the adjacent mall parking lot.
Suggestion: if you need to crash, cash, dash and drink (and not even begin to consider the inconvenience of parking 500 feet away) then go to the Starbucks on Carpenter Road. Drive thru Starbucks! How cool is that!
The Bux24 people have always been super-friendly to me :) -

The parking isn't the best but I can usually find a spot, I don't go during the rush period from what i hear it is insane and I'd rather have my cup of joe be relaxing.
I will say the baristas here have been skilled every time, which to me is the most important thing. Ultimately you are paying for a consumable and my drinks have always been made well here (consistency is hard to find in coffee shops).
Maybe my rating will go down overtime if the parking becomes more annoying, but it hasn't been too bad so far. -

Visited this Starbucks for the first time today. Walked in around 10pm, got some coffee, and sat down to work on my computer.
Wasn't very busy, which is suprising because of what everyone else has said in their reviews. Mabey it was due to the stinky homeless man sitting in the corner that you could smell no matter where you were. Or mabey because of the man sleeping on the couch for hours. Both are still here at 3:45am.
I would have left, but I needed to get a lot done. Unfortunatley this is the only 24 hour coffee shop open for miles.
On a better note, the service was good and the barrista seemed to know what he was talking about. -

This place is like a sick rat experiment. They have a Starbucks placed in the worse possible parking situation imaginable.. Do I want a coffee - Do I want to suffer parking and getting in and out?
The staff is pretty friendly here despite being very high volume. They never complain when I clog up the line ordering 1/2lb of beans or they are happy to take a phone in order for coffee in a box to help speed my pick up. Located next door is also a delicious Cold Stone Creamery which goes great with a hot coffee. Also because of the high volume your coffee is always very fresh. -

You know the drill from the other reviews: bad parking, always busy. This stuff I don't mind, because it's been here for a long time and there's not a whole lot they can do about either problem. The staff is also pretty nice but I seem to always have something go wrong when I go here.
Today's experience inspired a Yelp it was so disappointing. In what should have been a five minute visit, my wife and I had to remind the staff of what she ordered mere moments after it was ordered, we had a breakfast sandwich delivered to us that was ice cold in the middle, and then they told us we could have a new free sandwich that was also chilly in the middle.
We ended up there for over 20 minutes through all of this, and to top it off the main reason we went was to buy a new coffee grinder, which their store did not sell. I don't take issue with the usual Starbucks complaints (corporate coffee, yadda yadda yadda) but bad food and clumsy service on a day when they were absolutely dead is very frustrating. I'm not planning a return visit. -

I don't generally mind Starbucks, but this particular Starbucks makes my blood boil. It taunts you with its perpetual 24-7 hours, but is so unbelievably crowded if you arrive anytime between 8AM and 4AM, you're not likely to find a seat. If you happen to get lucky, the flocks of people coming and going and hovering if you look like you might be getting up will make concentration quite difficult. I'm not claustrophobic, but this place helps me get what that feels like- the narrow space is not designed for heavy traffic. Nearby superior alternatives include Barnes & Noble, Borders, and the 24-hour Denny's.

I'm eternally puzzled at the success of Starbucks. The coffee (in this as in all the others I've been to) is ordinary -- you can usually find better for your habitual cup, if you check around. The atmosphere is blah. And the claim that they invented the cafe -- give me a break!

Just a pain to get to, to buy overpriced drinks of inconsistent quality.

don't ever go here.
went there to grab a quick latte jolt. stood in front of the cash register for a good minute (no line) while the barista talked about hair products with another customer.
this dick saw me standing there, didn't acknowledge me, continued chatting with the other person, while wiping the steamer wand. what terrible service.
