Starbucks

One of my new favorite Starbucks. I just moved into the neighborhood and definitely love and miss my Starbucks in Dilworth, but I have to say that the folks at this location are doing their best to provide a first rate experience.
The keep the line moving, my order is always right and everyone I have met is always happy to be working and ready to serve. I have stopped by now several times in the early mornings during the week and then a couple of times in the mornings on the weekend. All of my visits my orders have been correct, the staff has been friendly, courteous and gotten me In and out in a timely fashion.
Cons — no drive thru, this is not always an easy location to get in and out of during heavy traffic periods.
Pros — Early morning staff is always very friendly, quick and their service helps to add to a perfect start to my day.

Staff is very rude. The place was crowded and I stood next to the counter and the girl making my drink started talking to another worker saying that she Hates customers standing over her watching her.

This intersection seriously needs a Starbucks with a drivethrough but there’s just no room here. Or maybe they need a parking deck, but there’s no room for that either. This very small Starbucks has a few parking spaces nearby but they are in a high traffic lane and so you can expect to have to walk a bit.
From the lack of parking, you can expect it to be smaller on the inside that most Starbucks with only a very few seats. This just isn’t the sort of Starbucks where you’re going to be hanging out with your laptop for hours and hours.
The crew gets the job done, keeping the place tidy and working through the queue. It’s not the best Starbucks, but it is the one that’s here and that’s okay.

Usually this place does pretty good. But today they may loose me over somthing petty. I order the same drink every morning for the past 2 months. Today they get it wrong, I didn’t mind because they had a new person there. But the big girl barista making the coffee today was a B#$@!. She acted like it was my fault. repeatedly, while she just added to my drink (instead of making a new correct one). I think I’ll just go to the other starbucks around the block from now on.

Beyond frustrated. I work less than a half a mile from this location and I am ashamed to say I’m ordering from Starbucks at least 4 times a week. I sometimes order just for myself or for all of my employees. Nonetheless, I Give this location a lot of business. I usually order on my mobile app and send an employee over to grab it for me. When I first started going, I never had any issues but lately I’ve been very disappointed in the quality of my beverages for various reasons. I called a couple weeks ago and complained (something I hate doing because I work in the service industry). They fixed the problem and were very nice. Today I ordered on the app, had an employee pick it up for me and when I got it, I noticed right away that it was not full. Not even close, I got a grande and it was barely half full. I spend my hard earned money and it’s not cheap. I have decided that I pass at least two Starbucks on the way to work and will now have to be inconvenienced because this location obviously doesn’t care about their patrons. I’ve never had an issue when I walk in and order, it seems to only be when I order on the app. What’s the point in providing this app if your employees aren’t going to treat those people who use it as important as the ones who don’t. I know that in this industry, people will not accept mediocre. Not filling a cup to me is just pure laziness and lack of care for the patrons. I will not continue to spend my money at a business that doesn’t value me and that is why I will spend that money elsewhere even though this location is walking distance from the place I spend 60 hours a week at.

All in all, my visit was fairly pleasant except for the wait. I ordered a misto (café au lait) and a sandwich. I waited a good 15 minutes for my drink. The barista behind the counter probably cranked out a drink every 1.5 minutes.
The facility was nice and clean though, and very pretty.
I went on a Sunday morning around 10:45. It was pretty busy, so I do understand there should be a wait… but I think 15 minutes was too long.

Clean store and friendly employees! There are a couple window seats, which I am always a fan of during the afternoons. The only downsides I found are parking (there are very limited spots outside) and that the register area is a little cramped making me feel like I was eavesdropping on the conversation of the table next to the register as I was waiting in line.

I go to Starbucks every day at least once. Even at non peak times, this Starbucks is super slow. The baristas only work one drink at a time and it usually takes at least 10 minutes to get my americano even when there is no one there. Plus the Parking is a nightmare. Go to the one on Morrison inside Harris teeter If you want better and faster service.

Excellent service. I was visiting from Las Vegas and one of their Coffee Masters recommended the Clover Machine coffee to me. Hook, line and sinker. I’m addicted. I tried the Verona, Amazonas Peru and the Brazil all brewed in the Clover Machine. I’ll probably never buy another type or brand of coffee again. It’s ashamed all Starbucks locations don’t push the clover coffee more.

Coffee!!! Great place to pop in for a cup of joe. But be warned parking during the afternoons and evening can get tough. I have met friends here from time to time, stop here on the way to work, or dropped in for an afternoon pick me up. The store is clean. And the staff have been friendly. Enjoy!

I have to admit the workers are very friendly but no exaggeration, 9 out of 10 times they will get my order wrong!!! Only reason why I go to this location is because it’s close by to my work place but other than that, this Starbucks is a last resort

The staff at this Starbucks is seriously the most friendly staff I have ever encountered at a starbucks! Normally they slam your drink down but today, even though they were busy, she handed me my drink, looked me in the eye, smiled and told me to have a nice day! Is that not important to anyone else? I’ve literally had people at other starbucks, and business in general, ignore me when I greeted them or told them to have a nice day and as a customer it’s not even part of my job! Starbucks product is consistently the same everywhere but this Starbucks has an AMAZING staff that makes me want to come back!

Worst bucks ever. Slow-​bucks. Been here several times and they are so inefficient compared to other establishments. This place needs a management overhaul.

I live less than two mins from this Starbucks and the struggle is real every single morning. I’m a long time Starbucks consumer. Part of it is the desire to get the caffeine into my system and part of it is the routine of going every morning. After moving to Charlotte I was ecstatic to have a Starbucks down the street (clearly it doesn’t take much to make me happy!)
This is by far the most frustrating Starbucks I continue to go to. Maybe I’m glutton for punishment but I show up there every morning at 8:30 and every morning it’s a battle to get through the slowest moving line BUT WAIT then you will stand and shuffle and foot tap and pace for up to 15 mins while waiting for your drink because there is usually only one person making the drinks. It’s 8:30 in the city and the line is out the door — in what world does that make sense?!? So on average if you’re looking to spend anywhere between 15 – 25 mins waiting for a drink that may or may not (may!) get lost in the shuffle this is your place. I will say this … many good looking guys come into this location but it’s hard to get your flirt on when you’re subtracting how many mins you’ll have to get to your office in time.

Awkward layout of this place, kind of rectangular and broken up. Looked like only 2 people were working at 8 and the line got long but they both worked quickly.

Convenient location along Park Road (though if you’re traveling south bound, you will need to either turn left on Woodlawn and come through parking lot or make a (legal) U Turn at Abbey Place).
The Baristas at this shop are always friendly and seem eager to share a smile! As indoor seating goes, there are tables and a high top bar. It can get crowded, but it is nothing compared to the Dilworth location.

I’m a Starbucks addict. Slightly. I have a gold card. I’ve been to a Starbucks or two.
Some Starbucks are so cozy and inviting, with friendly people behind the counter and throughout the shop. This place is efficient. The 3 stars literally says that it’s A-​OK. That’s what it is. It’s not cozy, but it gets the job done.
I stopped here on my way to the Community Blood Center of the Carolinas. It’s convenient and on the way — but not necessarily friendly. I’ll probably stop here again for a quick coffee, but I can’t see myself lingering like I do in some of the other Starbucks locations. They have nice looking chairs, but no one sitting in them.
And yes, PLEASE be careful when you’re backing out of your parking spot here. People whip through this parking lot with all of the rage that comes with traffic on Park Rd.

This is my ‘hood’s Starbucks location… so this is where I go to feed my pumpkin spiced latte addiction.
The workers here are not just friendly and chipper, but also efficient. It doesn’t matter how long the line is… It goes quickly. Never a long wait.
This location is kind of small considering the high volume it handles. It can sometimes get a little cramped.
My biggest problem here is the parking situation. It might as well be the Trader Joe’s in Metropolitan. If you are lucky enough to score a spot out in front, it will take you forever to try and get back out. (True story: I actually had a friend go to the hospital after a car plowed into her here) I recommend parking over at the Palm Beach lot and walking. Avoid the exit that dumps you on Park… Go for one of the exits on Woodlawn.

This is by far the dirtiest Starbucks I have ever been in! They really should be ashamed! There were 5 people working and the manager was there, yet the floor, counters and everything else was absolutely disgusting!!!
Not to mention that the bathroom had no toilet paper and I advised the manager and she never advised anyone to go replace it…
Such a shame! Cleanliness should be at the top of everything!

While this Starbucks is clean and the baristas are pretty friendly, expect a long, long wait for your coffee during peak times. The first time it was slow, I thought it was a fluke (not a peak time, but still not quick). The second time I came, they had only one barista making all the drinks and about 10 people waiting before me (when one wasn’t busy at the register, he was back getting food around), some with 4 – 5 drinks. After waiting over 15 minutes, I asked about my drink. Apparently someone with multiple drinks came and took it. Luckily, the barista quickly whipped one up for me.
Some of the fellow customers there were exceptionally rude to people waiting for their drinks (as well as being rude to the baristas). I hate to say this, but most of the people waiting have to get to work — CHILL OUT! Parking is a nightmare and people are cutthroat for the spaces near the door. If you don’t mind that, it’s a pretty standard Starbucks.
