This Starbucks is nicely located on the edge of the food court in Fairview Mall. The mall is adjacent the highway 404/DVP ramp at sheppard Avenue. Parking for the mall is abundant, but don't expect to readily find a parking spot by the front entrance facing Sheppard. This Starbucks has seating in front. It is a clean efficient set up. The narrow layout makes it difficult for anyone to cut the line. The pickup is by the door, making it convenient for orders by phone app. The staff seems well rained and efficient. My only feedback in this respect is that a little friendlier would be nice. To be clear, it is not that they did anything wrong or to be criticized for, only a suggestion for better service, especially during the Christmas season. A little bit more conversation would very likely have resulted in me increasing a $8 purchase into a $15 purchase. On that note, the mall was busy with shoppers fuelling our economy at a time when Amazon and Temu make shopping more convenient. However, there is nothing like that personal touch. The Macha tea was nicely done and hit the spot.

⸻ Fairview Mall is a clean, modern, and very family-friendly place. There’s plenty of parking, and it’s easy to reach from Highway 401, 404, and the TTC subway and bus. The atmosphere is calm and safe, and the mall is well maintained. Me and my son spent most of our time in the Apple Store and LEGO Store — both are clean, kid-friendly, and have great customer service. The food court has lots of good options, and the mall also has a Cineplex theatre for entertainment. Overall, it’s a great place for shopping, eating, and spending time with family. Highly recommended!

CF Fairview Mall is a great place to shop. It’s clean and has everything you need. The layout is easy to navigate, and there’s a nice mix of stores, services, and places to eat. The mall is spacious, and the food options are awesome. You’ve got your typical fast food in the food court, but if you head to the other side, there are tons of Chinese restaurants. Plus, T&T supermarket is right there. The bathrooms are always clean, too. It’s in a super convenient location with plenty of parking. You can easily catch a bus or hop on the subway. Overall, it’s a solid mall with a lot of variety in food, especially Asian cuisine!
