Starbucks

Found this by accident during our first year here during the holidays. Pumpkin anything is, well just excellent. The crew is always top notch, friendly and (here’s a weird thing about this Starbucks) «tip-​less». When you navigate your way there you will find out why.

First, let me just say this is not in target like two of the review stated. This is a Starbucks in a mall.
This is probably one of the worst Starbucks I’ve ever been to, and I’m addicted to Starbucks. Starbucks can get really busy really fast, but they have always have enough polite baristas working. This location lacks that.
Since it was so slow, I ordered a hot tea and a water instead of something blended. They gave me my hot tea and told me the water will be down the counter. When I got to the end of the counter there was a plastic pitcher of ice water, no cups or signs near by. (So I waited, then I finally found out I’ve to pour my own water). I’ve never been to a Starbucks where I have to pour my own water, but I DON’T MIND doing so; what I really can’t stand is that they don’t tell you where the cups are for that water if they expect you to pour it yourself. Have a sign. They have signs for everything else.
I was going to give this place more stars but I feel 1 star is very generous. When I finally saw the cups on the other counter and poured myself some water, no ice came out of the pitcher. THEN THERE WAS NO LIDS FOR THE WATER. I asked a barista where the lids are, and she replied with attitude «you can just ask us for a lid.»

Starbucks at Target is great, the baristas are knowledgable and friendly. You will not be disappointed.

Target and Starbucks do not mix well. This is the first and the worst Starbucks in Port Charlotte. I was talking to one of the other patrons and she came to this particular location because they make their coffee more like Dunkin’ Donuts — she doesn’t like strong coffee. I wish I had spoken to her before I had my order. To add insult to injury, not only was the coffee weak — like Dunkin’ Donuts — but it also had that taste you get when the machine isn’t properly cleaned.
If you have time on your hands, go to the Kings Highway location. If not, you are better off going to the mall location of Starbucks. Yes, the associates at Starbucks in Target were great compared to the mall location, but I don’t really come to Starbucks to pay for the service. I want the coffee to taste good — and strong!

While on my Florida vacation, this was one of two Starbucks within a 7 mile radius of my family’s house in North Port. I wasn’t sure where this address would lead me to (guided by my trusty VZ Navigator). Luckily I had a heads up from my Aunt, who lives down in the Sunshine State.
Having an addiction to Starbucks and NEEDING my daily dosage of the lattes, I searched for Starbucks and found out the locations of two. After trying out both this one and the one across 41, this one wins hands down.
The employees are friendly. They are warm & welcoming. My coffee was made just right every day I went there.
It’s hidden away from the local public so unless you know the Starbucks love is inside, you will never discover this hidden treasure!!!
