Starbucks

Crampt, small. Rocky chairs at SINGLE LONG TABLE. 2 obnoxious men having loud discussion & pounding the table at which I & another woman sat while ATTEMPTING TO READ AND ENJOY OUR TEA/​COFFEE. The men were using words like «homosexuals, fetus, abortion» bordering on hate-​speech & definitely rude, and waving their arms & hands while talking. I tried to block them out by wearing earphones to no avail. I started to feel a little afraid. I had to leave. The young women at the counter were facing them & they were loud so they had to have heard them but did nothing.

This is an average location. Lately I have been using the app and just running in to grab my coffee and leave. My coffee is always ready when I get there whether it’s been 3 minutes or 7! That app is a life/​timesaver!
The baristas are always very friendly. The one good thing about all Starbucks is my coffee is always made right and good the first time! They are very consistent.
They have outside seating which is great when the weather is nice.
I personally don’t like the new seating areas that all the starbucks have but I guess they have a fairly decent amount of seating.

It’s Starbucks, so there’s a lot you know already. The coffee is good, it’s more expensive than it should be, and the barista is going to ask you for your name, and quite possibly how to spell it.
This place has a few key features.
1. It’s not that busy.
2. Lots of seating. Outside, inside, window seats with a countertop for working with outlets right there. Good, good, good.
3. The people. Everyone seems genuinely happy and peppy. I’ve heard singing and joking, and I’ve even heard the staff refer to the drink orders of regulars, or exchange playful remarks.
These features are the kind of thing that makes you want to return to a coffee shop, even if it is one of thousands in a chain. If you need to get your fix, this location is a sure bet.

Smaller Starbucks that does not have a drivethrough but does have plenty of free parking. Inside, not much for seating with several stools facing the window, four «comfy» chairs and the large community table.
The layout is is not instantly intuitive to all, as the woman who arrived just ahead of me started to queue at the pickup area rather than the register area. Coolers of pastries and sandwiches available, as per the usual Starbucks menu.
It was busy this morning when I stopped in for a double espresso. The milk/​cream bottles were full but the fixings area needed a good wipe down.

Nothing like a good cappuccino from Starbucks to start my morning! They never fail me no matter which location I go to.

Today being Halloween, my wife and I were in costume. Upon arriving at the store, my wife waited in the car, and only I entered the store. There was a store employee wearing face paint to appear like a vampire of sorts, (I believe her name was Liz), working on store merchandising at a table. This employee looked at me, made an extremely rude face, and mumbled a very rude comment! I was absolutely blown away at this! I thought Starbucks was trying to attract customers, not insult them!
I told my wife what had occurred, who in turn has told her family, and I my family, and without an apology, we are done with Starbucks, period. This employee should be disciplined.
Starbucks Corporate has been notified of this incident.
Liz: I would treat the customer better, because you never know who is going to take the time to post on Unilocal,or notify corporate. And I know you remember me…

Wildly uncomfortable layout. Inconvenient floor setup makes it difficult to just walk in or out, display stands blocking traffic paths. Long table forces you to sit with strangers. Overall, it’s just a terrible use of space.

I hate to complain about a Starbucks but they’re usually so good that a bad experience is pretty rare. Stopped in to get the buy 1 holiday drink, get one free deal and the line was long. They had plenty of help but everything moved incredibly slowly (even for a Starbucks!). The area to receive the drinks was dirty with straw wrappers, cups and crumpled napkins scattered around where the drinks come out. It was a somewhat long wait. A woman actually grabbed my iced latte and tried to claim it was hers (must have been sick of waiting). I didn’t notice it was mine and it’s lucky she started demanding whipped cream or else she would have gotten away with it, haha. Anyway, both drinks when they finally arrived were awful. I don’t know if they made them incorrectly because they were in a hurry but yuck. Huge globs of what I assume would taste like gingerbread if used in moderation and the other drink tasted like nothing but creamy coffee. My friend and I would have gone back but the line was so long and we aren’t from the area so we really didn’t want to wait. Very disappointed with that Starbucks experience though.

The amazing crew of this establishment get 5 stars. What’s a new mommy to do when she’s so far from friends and family (insert drama here — they’re at least 30 minutes but with a baby everything feels very far)? She finds that one consistent thing to get her ass out of the house. The one thing that can stop the insanity and isolation. For me, that one constant is THIS Starbucks. The crew here are amazing. We know them all by name and they all know Mickey. It’s one of his favorite things to do. Sometimes we sit and eat and sometimes we run in and run out but it’s always a pleasure to be greeted by them and to see their smiling faces. Even when it’s super busy we get a genuine smile. It warms my heart that they’ve gotten to see my little peanut go from drooling in my arms to running around the joint trying to steal their broom :)

These guys are consistently upping their game and service gets better and better. It’s a five star Starbucks, really. Starbucks, just, in general, isnt; the best coffeehouse in town. A local competitor wins that.
