Starbucks

The cashier is the rudest one I’ve seen in any Starbucks! No greetings! No acknowledgement of any kind! I need a zero star for this review!

This starbucks was just ok. I have gone to many starbucks over the years and even worked at one years ago and this one was just alright. My drink was good but my bacon and gouda sandwich was still cold in the middle and the girl at the window hardly greeted me at all, scanned my card on my phone and handed me my drink without really even looking at me while she took someone else’s drink order.

Always very friendly and fast. Always remember what I drink. Great place for morning coffee with the car guys and retired dudes!

Quick service on a busy Saturday. Lots of seating indoor ands outdoor. Ample supply of outlets. There’s also a drive thru.
I would come back to this location for the nice indoor setup.

This is my favorite place to go and work when baby is too noisy at home. There is ample seating (more than at most locations), and plenty of electrical outlets to share. Of course, because of these facts, I’m not the only one who’s a fan of this place.
Staff is consistently friendly, and food/​beverages made to order are just right. Oh yeah, and the bathrooms are always clean and well-​stocked (when I’ve had occasion to check them out).
As the five stars says… this place is as good as it gets!

This is the Starbucks next to Cold Stone in the Savemart Shopping Center (the user submitted pictures are not accurate). Anyway, if you’re looking to go here in do some light internet browsing — i.e. anything that doesn’t include streaming music or video — then it’s cool. I had to research some videos on YouTube and I couldn’t stream them without it stopping every 9 seconds. Something to consider…

This place is by far the best Starbucks in town. I go here everyday and pass 2 other Starbucks to get here. The baristas are the friendliest and the drinks taste the best!

I really liked this Starbucks! They were very friendly and didn’t mind going the extra step it took for my drink. (Pour over) Great environment and well kept storefront. Of the many Starbucks locations I have visited throughout the state this is definitely one of the better ones.

«Where everybody knows your name»

My venti frap was free yesterday because the barista wanted me to have a nice day. How nice.

The Starbucks gift cards I still receive on occasion are fantastic for my departing shots from cities with few or no coffeehouse alternatives. For instance, it is okay to patronize Starbucks in Clovis because the alternative would require a twenty minute drive across town in the tule fog that I used to love for the «foggy day bus schedules» implemented by school districts when road visibility was as little as five feet. And those towering, green, twin-​tailed mermaid logos can appear also like beacons to the eyes of road weary travelers along the highway that traverses the San Joaquin Valley.
I found a coffee mug for sale at this location bearing the resurrected slogan, «Fresno: California’s New Frontier» inscribed below an illustrated cityscape of downtown. The slogan’s aim is grossly underachieved on almost all counts but it’s a cool mug all the same, even if the Sierra Nevada mountains forming the backdrop are way out of scale, not to mention rarely so visible due to the region’s air quality which vacillates between third and fifth poorest ranking in the nation (the idling cars in the drive-​thrus at any given time, at any given starbucks, are doing their part), and I just HAD to have it, and my good pal and fellow Valley escapee, also in town for the holidays, knew this. Knew it as quick as I did and had already snatched one from the shelf and was purchasing it for me at the counter. The mug’s first dose of hot liquid content was orange dulce tea, which paired well with the last dish of «Licorice a la Michelle» ice cream. (See revised Gelato Firenze review.)
One thing, though, about this Starbucks and the other I visited on this trip. On both occasions I requested low fat milk and the baristas asked me, fetching oddly for some kind of clarification, «Percent milk?»
«Right. Same thing, no? I don’t understand. What’s the alternative?»
«Non fat.»
I guess low fat (or «percent») is now their default milk but I hate participating in redundant dialog. «Starbucks Semantics» ought to be a new chapter heading in the next revised edition of Paul Fussell’s «Bad Or, The Dumbing of America».
