Starbucks

Recently while in town I needed a Starbucks fix. This location is so cute that I was actually starring right at it and didn’t notice it. The building is super nice and in the area of the Christmas hotel and town.
Now the one thing that I heard that made me love this location,… this was a super busy morning and while at the window I overheard one employee inquire about going on break. The Manager I am guessing, told them yes, go now or you might not be able to (because they are so busy.) and then she added, you deserve a break please take one. You just don’t hear that all the time and I thought it was a great thing to hear especially around the holiday.

This place was delicious my cookie was hot and fresh and my drink was amazing! I think it is good they hear up there muffins because there good that way.

These morons heated up my blueberry muffin. Ruined it. But, what else could I expect? I knew better than to go here so I guess it’s my fault.

Female employee informed me that she was going to use the men’s room since someone was in line for the ladies room already. I don’t think she would have been smiling if I were the one «taking» the ladies room as an employee. They should remove the labels from the doors if the employees aren’t going to bother with them.

I stopped here when Starbucks was celebrating the frappucino’s birthday with a special birthday cake flavor. I went through the drive thru thinking it would be quick and easy. Nope. Oh well, while I wait I’ll connect to the free wifi and check in on Unilocal.Nope. I’m not sure if it there was just something wrong with their wifi but I couldn’t get connected and I normally can even in the drive thru of other Starbucks. So after about 5 minutes it’s our turn in like. The drink came out right which is good. The birthday cake consisted of a vanilla bean frappé with hazelnut flavor and raspberry infused whip cream. The hazelnut made the frappé have a coffee taste and the whip cream by itself was good. Once I got the whip mixed in well I could kind of see the cake flavor. Unfortunately it was only around for a limited time but I’m sure you can always get hazelnut added if you want to see what it tasted like.

Stopped here for some drinks and free wifi. Got in line just in time as it soon got super busy and line had about 20 people in line. Medium roast coffee was delicious and fresh and my husband ordered a Carmel Apple cider. Noticed they scored 100% from the health dept. There is plenty of seating for this popular hang out. Cream and sugar station was clean and stocked. Will definitely stop here again.

I stopped here with my family on our way out of town for some coffee and tea. This place was packed! The drive through line wrapped around to the entrance, blocking us from accessing the lot. When we did get into the store they were as busy as expected.
Seating here is adequate for a place where people are going to order and leave. This doesn’t look like a place to sit and work if they are consistently busy. There is a comfortable seating area off in the corner where you can get away from the hubbub.
The décor was simple, vaguely reflecting the local flavor. The seating area appeared to be clean but the counter with sugar, etc. was a bit of a mess. Given how busy they were I was not surprised to see that their stock of food items looked low.
The restroom was a little disappointing. There was toilet paper and urine one the floor. The toilet was dirty as well. I didn’t see a bathroom checklist for employees to sign to show that it is frequently checked for cleanliness. Soap and paper towels were stocked and the sink was clean. The door had coat hooks, a nice convenience.
Service here was fast and efficient. I was quite pleased with their friendliness. I ordered tea which they grabbed with metal tongs. However, she grabbed my cup at the top with her bare hand. While it’s possible that she washed her hands before doing this, I didn’t see that occur. As far as I could tell, these are the same hands that handle the money.
For a quick fix, this place is okay. For getting work done, I’d find someplace else.

The only good thing about the drinks is the red cup!!!#morons!!!#don’t heat up my muffin next time!!!
