Starbucks

Needed to warm up im this damn 28 degree cold weather. Came here to get a mocha i kno i kno killing my masculines image but damn it these things are good!!! Lol the service wasnt the best the lady behind the counter wasnt even polite she seemed bothered because i was asking her questions bout the «holiday spice flat white» cmon lady put a smile on that old face he happy that the old year is almost over. OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW!
The little table with the napkins and such was pretty messy no one to tend to it they employees were to busy talking bout they should of worn shorts today smh.
The drank was actually pretty good ive been here before to this exact location and my mocha was just warm and flavorless but this time, that ish was hittin! Good stuff! «That ish was hittin» means it was pretty damn good incase you didnt know what that meant ;) over all a solid 3 if im near by again i wont mind stopping by again. One thing they always seem to do tho is spell my name wrong. Wth!!! Lol they spelled my name «Rais» damn shame if u dont know how to spell my name ASK!!!

Love Starbucks coffee, probably one of the best! I came here lots of times mostly drive thru, and always got great coffee, the baristas are always nice. Coffee that’s made here looks like the advertisement, I would recommend this Starbucks location to anyone! Get ur coffee dude!

Great place to study. Close to Arc and a lot of food places. For the most part, the staff are great. One in a while you’ll go I and have the perfect combination of batistas working in which case you’ll walk out thinking about how much you laughed. The parking situation is a little rough, but the service makes up for it.

I come to this drive thru almost every morning on my way home from class. Normally I always have my drinks made right, a Flat White w/​6 pumps of vanilla and I get my bf a White chocolate mocha w/​no whip, hot Today for some reason (I don’t know if it was cause their drive thru line was swamped) they made my drinks HORRIBLE. I got home and me and my bf took a sip of our drinks and were immediately disgusted by the taste. His had no flavor of «white chocolate» and even though I payed for 6 extra pumps, I did not taste an ounce of vanilla.
I was so annoyed because 1) I had just gotten home and live a ways down the road and 2) I had no time to go back to get it remade because I had to leave for work in less than 15 minutes. I called them to complain and spoke to a woman named Nicole. I was just going to ask for my money back, but the person I spoke to (Nicole) was very nice to me the whole time and didn’t even question what I had to say. All she asked was my name, the drinks I had made, and what time I would be off work.
I was very please with how the situation was handled. It was very professional and she was very kind. I just got home from having my drinks remade, and the staff members were very nice and friendly about it.
I wanted to leave a review to show their quality in professionalism and wanted to thank them for their service. I will still continue to come to this place. I see the reviews below and people complain about the parking and just dumb shit that doesn’t involve the service/​customer service aspect, so basically, long story short… I just wanted to tell you guys that I appreciated what you guys did for me today. I know it sounds like a dumb rant, but $ 10 is a lot to a broke student! Stay awesome guys.

This is a convenient location on the corner of Manzanita and Madison Avenues. Good for a quick drive through mostly since the parking lot is quite small with only a few spaces. If the line for the drive through is long it can make getting into the parking lot difficult and you may have to make another pass at it or just partially pull off the road until there is an opening to pull into the parking lot. Inside is smaller than most Starbucks locations but still offers the same options and amenities. I was happy to find that they had all of their drip brews full and ready when I came in so I didn’t have to wait or chose from a limited selection of what was ready. The coffee tasted as expected, not bad but still a little overbrewed in my opinion. It was extra hot which was good so it didn’t loes its heat after I added a little cream, but if you like it black you might want to be a little careful on your first sip. The service was quick and friendly and I was greeted with a smile which makes me appreciate my service even more.

Where do I begin? I guess I can start with the parking, there is none! The service sucks! They don’t carry The supplies they should have at all times. For example, gift card sleeves, therefore the person you’re buying the gift card for knows how much is on the card! And not to mention when I bought the gift card the employee didn’t even ask me which gift card I would like He just assumed which one I would like. Bottom line the first time I came here it was a bust and the second time I was there confirmed it. There are way too many Starbucks in the area to go back to this one. No thank you. One thing I love about Starbucks is their upbeat respectable staff this Starbucks obviously didn’t get the memo.

This review is strictly based on their parking lot, which is an F’ing joke. FIVE parking spots. Six if you count the makeshift spot. A gal’s gotta do what a gal’s gotta do for coffee, but this is absurd. Feel free to utilize their drive-​thru, but I’d recommend a different location altogether.

***RUDE***
It seems like every time I come to this location the service just gets worse!
Yesterday is the last time I will ever go to this location, I order one drink for my husband and give the man my card, he swipes it and the machine can read it, I said I am sorry there is a scratch on it can you enter it manually, he said no… I was thinking it was a joke but nope he said its against policy or something like that, I said I have never heard of that, I said do you have a plastic bag to put the card into so it will go threw? He said no… I said how about a piece of tape? No he said… I said your kidding right? He said no we don’t have tape… he did not even budge to look or ask a co worker. He was not willing to do anything to help the situation. He was such a jerk. I couldn’t believe how he was treating me.

If I could give this location zero stars I would…
I used to a be a barista at another local Starbucks, hence I know their (Starbucks) policies and standards. I also, along with my family, am an avid Starbucks addict. My father goes to Starbucks every morning for his triple espresso macchiato in a tall cup with extra foam and 2 raw sugars. I won’t get into recipes but they consistently make it wrong. I.e. lots of milk, no foam, even pumps of mocha sometimes?! We also make evening trips frequently. Without fail, every time, the size is wrong, drinks are missing syrups, and hot drinks are ¼ of the way down the cup without being drunk yet. I know the Starbucks standard is to fill the cup leaving ¼ of an inch of room on the top, however the drinks from this particular store are ALWAYS at least an inch down the cup. Paying for a venti and getting a grande amount is not only frustrating but wasteful as well. I know the manager of this location well and I don’t understand how these particular baristas and shift supervisors are so rude and incompetent.
I know that Starbucks won’t suffer because of a negative review. I won’t stop people from drinking their coffee or even going to this location, but maybe someone who has the ability to implement change will see this and fix it. Standards are seriously not being met at this location.
Oh and the parking sucks. Especially when their nightly deliveries truck takes up THE ENTIRE parking lot. So in the details when it says parking lot parking, they kind of do.

9 out of 10 coffees they make taste like $h*t, baristas changing frequently and new personal is not professionally trained and don’t know what they doing, it’s too bad because it’s conveniently located –5 stars

This location is pretty good, my drinks are always right. Only thing I’ve had a problem with is in the morning there is an older lady at the cash register who takes longer than most to take an order and converses extra long with customers which is okay if you don’t have to be anywhere. But it’s 6:30 am and I’m pretty sure most people are off to work. It’s cool to chat for like 60 seconds but when you’re full blown in a conversation for almost 5 minutes I feel it’s rude and inconsiderate to the other people in line that are waiting impatiently to place their orders.

This location has piss– poor customer service. When I arrived I spent several minutes standing at the counter without being acknowledged (there were 4 people behind the counter also). The tables also weren’t bussed and there was a lot of trash on the floors. I recommend only coming to this location if you’re desperate and/​or like waiting in a long drive-​thru line. Better yet, hit up Madison Station café next door.

Delicious. Fast. Friendly. Perfection every time! I love this particular Starbucks! The staff is always so friendly and I’m never waiting long for my coffee. I drive out of my way to come to this one.

Best in the area by far. Love the mood, The baristas are all very friendly. Its a nice little place that is usually quiet with great selection of music that you can go to with family and have a great time. Though during finals week for college students it can get crowded.

Fast and friendly service at the drive through.
I’m not a coffee drinker, so I ordered a Very Berry drink and asked for them to go light on the ice (I don’t like paying for a cup of ice and a few drops of the actual drink). They listened and my drink wasn’t 99% ice cubes — yay!

Sometimes when the freeway is backed up, I go the long way to work and stop at this Starbucks because they have a drive-​thru!
The employees who work the drive thru are some of the nicest and friendliest Starbucks employees around, I always get excellent service from them! They make my morning better and start my day off in a good mood!
I have never really had an issue with parking even though there are only a few spots because most people use the drive thru.
Inside is nice and like every other Starbucks I’ve been to, the girl at the counter is nice too and there is never any wait.
My favorite drink is a Tall Iced or Hot Caramel Macchiato. Yum!

Yesterday was my first time in this location. The service I received was excellent. The guys that work there are very friendly. Can’t say more about the coffee. hey, it’s Starbucks! lol
I agree with some people here, the parking kinda sucks but there’s a big parking lot next to the store which is only a few steps away.
I’ll definitely going back there when I’m in the area. :)

This is a typical Starbucks location. I usually only go here to meet up with other people for coffee. I feel that Starbucks charges too much for their drinks. I prefer drinking my coffee at home for this very reason. However, the occasional splurge on one of their yummy drinks is good. This location does have an outdoor area which is useful if you want to enjoy fresh air. Although the air isn’t that fresh since its on a busy street. The parking isn’t great. Their lot is really small and it often fills up. This is a small location. Its not huge inside so when its busy it might be hard to find a place to sit. I think a lot of people use the drive through however I have never done that. Honestly, I have used this location to meet up with random people from craigslist when I was selling items. Its good for that though since its a public space with tons of people around. I’m not a huge fan of Starbucks in general as I feel they charge a lot for what they sell and also its just a huge corporation that doesn’t care that much about the community. They seem to be taking over and there are Starbucks everywhere.

Standard starbucks, except tighter, cramped seating arrangements. As noted, few parking spots. The AC here seems cooler than in other places. Wi-​Fi is slower than at other starbucks. Outdoor seating area is in a shaded spot and surrounded by attractive landscaping.
Look to the next driveway for Madison Station Café. It’s been in business 20 years, has more spacious seating, real food made in their open kitchen, and free Wi-​Fi as well.

This Starbucks is, BY FAR, the best in the area. There are two employees specifically that make my days more enjoyable when I stop in; Jacob and Marina. Jacob is the friendliest, sweetest, kindest, most unique individual you will ever meet. Marina always has a smile on her face and recognizes me even though my visits are pretty irregular, I am by no means a regular here, though I do have my weeks. I have never had a problem with the quality of my beverage from this location, from tea, to drip coffee, to a frappuccino; all are delicious! If you are in the area stop by and see Jacob or Marina, both will add a drop of sunshine to your day!
