2 rounds of interviews, it was really nice! You do need to go in depth with your answers though. Use the STAR method when you answer the questions. situation, task, action, result. Memorize and use it well, good luck!

Positive experience
Easy interview
Application
I interviewed at Starbucks (Indianapolis, IN)
Interview
The interview was pretty easy and straightforward. They were willing to train me in areas I needed. The interviewer was friendly and open to hearing my strengths. She put me at ease when I got there by being warm and friendly.
Inconsistent and not transparent. Very vague and not sharing details of the role or pay rate. Odd questions that didn’t have to do with the role but the person themselves was nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you like to do on the weekends to relieve stress
The Starbucks barista interview process is usually casual, conversational, and focused heavily on customer service and personality rather than coffee experience. After applying online, candidates are often contacted by a store manager for a short in-person interview at the café. The interview typically lasts 20–45 minutes and includes questions about teamwork, handling busy environments, customer service, availability, and why you want to work at Starbucks. Managers mainly look for friendly, reliable, and adaptable candidates who can work well under pressure and create positive customer interactions. Some locations may conduct a second interview, but many hire after just one meeting, followed by onboarding and barista training.
