Red Star Coffee Company - Moscow

Red star is my go to coffee spot in Moscow and I typically stop by 1-3 times a week on my way to work. The service is typically outstanding and the coffee even better. However, I went in today around noon and received really awful customer service from the gals working. First of all, I asked for a blended coffee with pumpkin pie syrup (a drink I have multiple times a week) and the barista told me they only made blended shakes with icecream. I was a little confused so I explained that I have gotten a blended coffee here before and she kept insisting they only made drinks blended with icecream. I didn’t want to tell her how to do her job but it also says on the menu that red star makes granitas and blended coffee drinks. It was a lot of back and forth and attitude on her end before she realized red star does make blended coffee drinks. After this I heard her talking about my order to another barista and laughing, then one said that the window was still open so I could hear them, then they closed it. My drink took over 5 minutes to make with 3 baristas working. When I finally got my drink it was made very poorly and I could barely taste the coffee. It was really water-y and just kind of tasted like blended milk lol. When I said have a nice day the barista said nothing and went to the back Behavior like this definitely is not what I would associate with red star and hopefully it’s just the crew that works in the afternoon that acts like this, the morning crew is always super sweet and makes the best drinks!

Although redstar Is a small place I still really like the place. I found a drink I really like and now I get it all the time. The wait is the only issue but with the size of the place and location I can understand. The people are sweethearts and always give my dog a treat when im there and I always tip but with cash because I don't trust digital tips

I love this place! Drinks are always delicious and the women are so kind. The location is pretty bad because it gets so busy but overall amazing drinks!

They held my lemonade hostage until I agreed that I would write a review All jokes aside, this is the best coffee stand in Moscow by far. Thank you!

Yum!!!! Great beverages!!!! And pup cups for the dogs!!!!
