Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

We find Starbucks @ The Poiz Centre to be a convenient spot, especially for those frequenting the mall, given its location right by the entrance.

The service quality, however, appears to be inconsistent.

Some patrons report exceptionally warm and personalised service, with staff remembering names and going above and beyond, such as replacing a spilled drink without prompting.

This suggests a strong customer-centric approach from certain team members.

Conversely, there are recurring complaints about staff conduct, specifically loud conversations among themselves that disrupt the atmosphere for customers trying to work or study.

There are also concerning reports of staff being rude or discriminatory, particularly regarding seating arrangements and questioning customers' orders, even with valid receipts.

The limited seating is a known issue, which can exacerbate these situations.

We recommend visiting during off-peak hours to potentially experience the better side of their service and secure a seat.

It's a reliable option for a quick coffee, but not ideal for focused work or a quiet catch-up.

What customers say

Starbucks @ The Poiz Centre receives mixed feedback, with some customers praising the exceptionally friendly and attentive staff, particularly highlighting instances of personalized service and thoughtful gestures like replacing spilled drinks.

However, a significant number of patrons report issues with staff professionalism, including loud conversations among themselves that disrupt the atmosphere for studying or working, and accusations of discriminatory behavior and public humiliation regarding seating policies.

The outlet's convenient location is appreciated, but limited seating is a recurring concern.

Definitely the worst Starbucks I’ve been to. Staffs are rude with no customer service. Just stay behind the counter and converse loudly among themselves in Malay, while everyone else is quietly doing…
