Starbucks

I am a regular here and love the fact almost all the baristas know me by name and order. They have a great chemistry with each other and that makes for an excellent environment.
One major drawback: parking. It feels up very quickly and there is SO much land that more parking could be done. However, rarely do I have a problem. It’s fine in the weekday mornings since the biggest rush is the drive-​thru so there’s usually parking spots available. (Weekends are a different story)
Parking aside, my drinks are always made right and they’ve definitely come a long way in the past year. It’s going to be tough going to another Starbucks when I move!

I love Starbucks! The place is cozy, the baristas are friendly and I always feel welcome here.

No sense of urgency. Orders are often inaccurate. This will be my last time to order at this location.

I love how convenient this Starbucks is… Right by my neighborhood, can’t get any better! It is an awesome place to just unwind and relax with some coffee. Or if you are like me, you would get the Passion Tea or the strawberry banana smoothie. I love the setup of this Starbucks, not too big or overly packed, as others are in the area. They always offer great service and the staff is well trained, unlike other local starbucks in the area that shall remain nameless. I’m very impressed at their vast menu selections and the freshness of their pastries too. I do know that they are packaged, but i have never gotten anything old or stale at this location. I’m a fan!

First off this location used to be across the street in the other plaza (It’s a Jersey Mike’s now that location), second off it has a drive through which we needed in the area.
That being said, I hate the parking here with the drive through and all it can get pretty crazy in the morning and during lunch. Parking is extremely sparse which is a huge downside since the nearest lot in the other plaza is a bit of haul and can be dangerous on foot.
As for the location itself, since it moved to this standalone building it has more a cozy intimate feel which is nice. The table in the middle has a bunch of charging ports which is great when the tables along the wall are taken. This location also has a clover which is great and the last few times I have ordered my barista has upped my cup size so that my coffee will cool instead of staying warm, so major points for that.
The other issue with this location is it’s size, because of that it gets pretty full pretty fast which is a major downside, especially when you need a table and the baristas can get a bit frazzled between the drive through and the amount of people in the store.
Aside from all that the new location is great in the sense that’s new and very organized and I love the fact that it has the great charging table BUT it needs a bigger lot and better organization inside.

This location has the slowest service of any location. Whether you go through the drive-​through or walk inside the employees are walking around chatting and not making coffee.

Not a huge fan of Starbucks. Last resort. They don’t make the drinks very well here but least their staff is pretty friendly.

For my first time being here, I really really really like it. I was excited that they finally opened up a bigger location, which means bigger and more study tables. So far, the service here is pretty awesome. They have great, energetic and friendly staff. The place is clean and neat. Since it’s opening, I can see that there’s a constant hustle and bustle of people. Unfortunately, you can’t really predict who you’re going to be surrounded with, so noise level can be quiet in some times and then really loud (due to really loud HS kids, or the blender). I believe that what makes or breaks your Starbucks experience is the people around you. Hence, it’s always the luck of the draw with the customers here, especially if you’re gonna study for a long time.
I can never complain about Starbucks’ products because they are always consistent. I’m really glad that they have big study table now, but there’s not that many plugs around, I suggest installing one in EVERY table. If you’re a local, the big wooden table in the Starbucks on other side of the bridge (Miramar Pkwy) has multiple plugs underneath, so if you’re gonna study with a big group go there. If you’re with a small study group or by yourself, then come this one.
Overall, I’ll probably come to study here or the other Starbucks of Miramar Pkwy and I’ll debate which is the best one.

Glad that they moved their store across the street from the shopping area, which is some kind of nightmare getting in a out of.
Anyway, very nice and clean, but then again, it’s brand new, which is to be expected. Parkinh isn’t too bad. I can imagine what it would be like during morning rush hour. But as I said, the best part about here is that it’s not smack in the middle of the shopping mall across the street anymore. Good move.

What a beautiful store with high energy! Every partner is unique and full of enthusiasm. You can tell that these people love their job.
There was a grand opening and the entire store was packed! They had a DJ and the whole staff was a in attendance and having a blast! Definitely not your average Starbucks :)
