Apparently there's bedbugs and cockroaches there too according to their staff. I was working outside there Friday and there's Starbucks workers protesting outside because the majority of the people that work there voted to unionize but Starbucks refuses to come to the table and collectively bargain with them. I get coffee from Starbucks here and there but now that they're not recognizing the will of their workers aside from the gross conditions will definitely keep me out of any of their locations.

I would think there are roaches at most restaurants in NYC. I also see workers violating health regulations a lot of times.

Not if they clean every night and have an exterminator in regularly. It's hard but you have to be diligent.

It is amount of diligent that you won’t get from most employees. Most restaurants I seen don’t have a venom proof area to store their trash before it is picked either.

It's the job of Starbucks management to ensure that it happens. There are solutions, including paying people enough to deal with it.

Lol

There are still roaches, they just don’t come out as much if it’s kept clean.

Every nyc building has rats and roaches, to think otherwise is just funny

the coffee is gross, it's like going to subway for a good sandwich.

support smaller cafes and you'll get better coffee too.

Fun fact: most large-scale preground coffee you buy in grocery stores has cockroach bits in it. People who are allergic to cockroaches can't drink it.

(not saying this is happening at the roastery-- they like most coffee shops these days grind on-site)
