Starbucks

This newer Starbucks really adds something special to Shoreview. It’s close to New Brighton so we make the stop here regularly when we don’t feel like going into Roseville. I love the new Lexington Station shopping center. It has lots of good solid chain options for lunch or dinner. Another big bonus, it is across the road from Super Target! (And Trader Joe’s, more
importantly…)
The service here is good and steady. The only gripe I might have is that there is never a place to sit down to actually enjoy your hot beverage, so I usually do the Drive-​Thru. This is not necessarily a bad thing, it just means that it’s so popular — always full to the brim.
I haven’t seen the Clover machine since I used to go to Starbucks by the U of M on Washington Ave. You can request any of their Reserve coffees on the Clover. They all taste amazing when brewed freshly for you and there is something unique and different about the beans when they are ground and brewed on the Clover. It is hard to go back to gas station coffee after you’ve had a Clover coffee.
Yes, SBUX is a chainy chain coffee shop. But it always makes me happy. Your drink is always the same, and if by some odd full moon it is not, they are always happy to make it right and fix the issue for you. Much can be said for the simple joy of consistency!

As others have said, Starbucks is Starbucks.
However, as Starbucks go, this one is pretty nice. The location is ideal, right off of hwy 694 and Lexington — across from Target.
I go here pretty often, and have never experienced a Starbucks based issue. The employees have always been friendly when I’ve been in — which is typically during high-​traffic hours around 7:30−8am. My drinks are always well made, the place is always clean and service is prompt.
My biggest issue I’ve ever had is the consideration, or lackthereof, of other customers. For example: Don’t go through the drive thru to order 15 drinks (literally, not joking) that are all super specific in nature (ie: grande soy latte with one pump vanilla and two pumps caramel with extra froth).

Starbucks is Starbucks.
I don’t really drink coffee, but I was looking for a place to do homework on a Friday night for a couple of hours.
The frist issue I had is I waited at the counter top for a full 5 minutes while a woman working was restocing under the register. We made eye contact several times so I don’t know why after I approchaed the counter it took her 5 minutes to ask «Have you been helped yet?» Obviously not. There were 2 other workers who saw me as well, but they were both making drinks… for the 2 other people in there.
Another big issue, is the WIFI wasn’t working! That was the only reason I went there, so I had to steal WIFI from next door, and it was super slow so I wasn’t able to do much of my work anyway.

The staff seemed crabby today… Could it be that they are all havering their cycle at the same time!!!

So here’s the response from the cashier to my wife’s excitement to cash in her birthday free beverage after swiping her gold card: «There’s nothing on it.» My wife: «I haven’t used it and my birthday was May 28^th. Is there a expiration?» «Maybe…but it’s not on the card so I can’t give you your free beverage» This is after ordering a quad venti whatever for $ 6.50. No «sorry…» No free beverage card for «next time»…nothing. Get a clue young lady! Starbucks is about the experience!

Very rude. Assistant manager hung up on me for an unknown reason. I called back and she was very defensive with an attitude. It would be nice if the manager would take action and fix her poor attitude with customers. Other than that the place is nice.

Baristas are friendly here and they have a drive thru! So happy that they added this Starbucks.

Great location across from Target — easy access to 694 and a short drive to Snelling.
Went in at 4pm to grab my normal Venti Blonde Roast with cream and they were all out so I waited for them to brew another batch. After five-​seven minutes the first single brew came out with coffee grounds in it. They proceeded to make another cup which took another 5 – 7 minutes.
All in all, they ended up buying my cup but I would have rather spent the 2.50 and had my coffee in 30 seconds, rather than wait 15 minutes.
Glad that barista bought my coffee…

This a brand new Starbucks across the street from Target in a nice little shopping strip. The real effect of this on me is that now I can walk from my hotel across the street for my fix rather than drive all over creation looking for a REAL Satrbucks and not some Target kiosk. Good work whoever for the location. Service was spot on and everyone was trained right.
