Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Starbucks at Kallang Wave Mall presents a mixed bag.

While the core offerings of handcrafted coffee, espresso, tea, and pastries are consistent with the brand, operational issues frequently surface.

Multiple accounts highlight significant staffing shortages, leading to long backlogs for drinks and an inability for staff to manage both orders and preparation efficiently.

This directly impacts service speed and customer experience.

More concerning are the recurring complaints about specific staff members exhibiting rudeness, impatience, and making inappropriate comments.

Such incidents detract significantly from the expected Starbucks service standard, creating an uncomfortable environment for customers.

While there are occasional positive mentions of staff going above and beyond, these seem to be exceptions rather than the norm at this particular outlet.

We'd recommend visiting during off-peak hours if you need a quick coffee.

Otherwise, be prepared for potential delays and inconsistent service.

This location appears to struggle with staffing and customer interaction, making it a less reliable choice compared to other Starbucks outlets.

What customers say

Starbucks Kallang Wave Mall faces significant criticism, primarily regarding staff rudeness and understaffing leading to long queues and service backlogs.

Specific complaints highlight a staff member named Leon for impolite and inappropriate comments, creating uncomfortable customer experiences.

However, some customers have praised individual staff members like AJ for their helpfulness and kindness, and found the drinks to be excellent and service speed efficient on occasion.

How can such a huge Starbucks with so many customers have only 2 staff? The drinks are in a complete backlog and no staff can take the drink orders because all are busy making drinks

We stood at the counter for a long time and no one took our order. Rhon's service was particularly bad. It was very noisy and we couldn't hear him very well; he seemed a little impatient. Later, when…

Weekends are expected to be busy, and I understand that. However, it feels like this branch may be understaffed with only two people. There wasn’t even a queue, but they still seemed unable to cope wi…
