This is actually a pretty good find. It's:
+ On Boulevard St. Germain exactly outside of the Odeon Metro
+ Big with seating outside on the terrace, inside downstairs and inside upstairs
+ Got counters, communal tables, small tables and several over-stuffed chairs
+ Got free wifi... well I say free, but you are required to give a bunch of personal information - like your mobile number. *See below
+ A great location to get a couple of hours of computer work done
*I have little, and less and less trust of anything that collects personal information. Yes I understand the irony of saying this on Yelp where my every move is tracked through my computer IP address and I gladly provide a mass of personal information. Still, it's starting to bother me a lot that everyone is asking for my mobile number - like Starbucks in Paris. Here is their explanation at the sign-in page:
"In accordance with the anti-terrorist legislation that came into effect on 23/01/2006, we are obliged to record the identities of all users. The data collected in this form will be shared with the National Commission on Data Processing and Liberties and will not be used for commercial purposes or sold to third parties without your prior consent. If you re-connect using the same computer or PDA, then you will only have to complete this form once a year."
Next time I'm at this Starbucks using their free (sort of) wifi, I'm going to watch watch Fahrenheit 451 online. Or maybe I'll Google TrueCrypt and theorize about what really happened to this amazing shareware. -

This is the absolute worst Starbucks I have ever seen!
This Starbucks was opened later than most, so I came here several times to study. However, I I have to warn that just about everything that could go wrong at a Starbucks went wrong!
Service: extremely rude. The staff is more interested in teasing each other and gossiping amongst themselves than working. Instead of a "hello" or "how may I help you," they will acknowledge your presence by huffing and puffing, rolling their eyes, or simply staring without saying a word. When they finally get your order, it will take an unduly long amount of time to make the drink (like 7 minutes for a small orange juice with no one ahead). There will be spills of milk and sugar all over the counter, and the napkin or cream dispensers will be empty.
Cleanliness: atrocious. See my photo for evidence. But believe me, it was not an isolated experience. The upstairs in particular is disgusting. The trash cans overflow, to the point where patrons have no choice but to leave their trash on the tables and the floor. Who wants to sit around in that kind of environment! The bathroom is filthy as well.
This Starbucks is sad. Just say away. -

Pros: Good staff, free wifi, cool seating area upstairs and outdoor seating, in front of the Odeon Metro.
Cons: Just "one' dirty toilet, very busy, not nice atmosphere because this coffee shop is quite narrow and I'm in general not a big fan of big coffee chains. Very expensive coffee!
Anyway, if you like Starbucks then choose another one. -

How many things can a Starbucks not have? This one had no milk, no cup sleeves, no soap in the restrooms, etc. Had a chai latte that tasted as if they also had no chai.

Tres Bonne - like you'd expect from every Starbucks; not revolutionary but friendly folks and standard coffee.
