Starbucks

Really disappointed tonight. My gingerbread latte had too much nutmeg or spice. My son’s mocha frap was way too watery.

I love the atmosphere here. The staff is friendly and moves fast. It’s in a nice neighborhood. I love the banana walnut bread.

Best Starbucks in the area! Staff is always nice. Orders are always correct the first time. Fast service and clean environment.
Loved Teavana hot tea and now enjoying cold sweet tea Teavana brand at Starbucks.

So, Starbucks isn’t my first choice for coffee. At most locations, this one included, they burn it. Or, maybe the machine is not being cleaned properly or frequently enough. But, for whatever reason, I taste burnt coffee. Also, I remember a time when the snack food was so unhealthy. It was just moderately unhealthy. But, there was no HFCS. Hey, they set the bar high for themselves and then started cutting corners. Pardon me for tasting the difference. Now, the pastries are sweet in a weird-​tasting way & they give me headaches. I’ve always felt the graininess of the chocolate powder (or whatever) in the mocha syrup.
Thanks to the drive-​thru at this Starbucks, I can grab a cup of coffee wearing nothing but a pair of panties and a robe. Messy hair. Day-​old makeup. Morning breath. They know; they don’t judge. It just doesn’t get any better than that. That’s pretty much the only reason that I still occasionally go there. That, and I share a rewards card with someone. That person keeps buying stuff there, so we keep getting free rewards. They keep forgetting to redeem the rewards. So, within the last few days before it expires, I fall on my sword and redeem it. Sometimes ya gotta take one for the team.
If it wasn’t suck a chore getting in and out of Macarthur Mall, I’d redeem it at that Teavana. But, it is a chore. And, they’re hard sellers with gentle voices and sincere smiles. So, I have to avoid Teavana or risk spending $ 40+ in addition to the redeemed award. That leaves me with this Starbucks. Which, again, has a drive through and warm caffeinated products.
And, the staff has never yelled at or cursed at me. They’re usually nice. Peppy, even. But we’ll forgive them for that.

My most convenient and favorite Starbucks location. As I always say, the prices are ridiculous which always makes me angry but this specific shop does a great job. Drive thru is always quick. I just wish they would add the chestnut praline latte to the permanent menu because YUM!!!

I had the absolute worst experience with Statbucks customer service this morning with this location. This is only my third trip to this store as I am active duty military and just recently moved to this area. The other two trips went well for me, though a female employee by the name of Randi was confrontational with another employee both times. Her tone is aggressive as is but I can look past that. This morning she argued with me twice, however. The first is when I ordered my drink. She sort of intruded in on the barista taking my order by taking over the register and casually mentioned, «Oh that isn’t actually a [insert type of drink here]» when I ordered. Rude… but okay. I’ve ordered this for four and a half years and have never once been corrected or told that it is anything different. Moving forward, I’ve always ordered iced. Since she had butted in on the cashier who was taking my order maybe she didn’t hear me say «iced». When I saw she was making it hot after paying I told her I meant to order iced and she snapped, «Well you didn’t order it iced. I was standing right here.» I said «meant» to be polite and non abrasive. I know I ordered ice. So this time I tell her it isn’t polite to argue with customers and that I don’t appreciate her snide remarks. She obliges to remake my drink. All good, right? No. She literally poured a bottle od chocolate syrup on top in front of me. I took a drink and it was nauseating. I gave it back and told her I don’t appreciate the attitude or her purposely making the drink wrong the second time. She offered to give me a gift certificate but I was obviously angry at this point so I declined and left after taking her name. I’d like to mention I was in a military uniform and am a rewards member that paid with a rewards card. Bravo, Starbucks. What a stellar choice of an employee.

This Starbucks is in a rather convenient location with regards to the restaurants in the area. I like the outdoor patio and the facility itself.
It is located on the corner of the stripmall and has a drive-​thru. I have come here quite a few times and have yet to ever be disappointed by their coffees or their service. The people here are always cheery and overall it’s just a solid place to sit down, have a cup of coffee and wind down for a bit.
Overall, it’s what you would expect from a well-​run solid Starbucks facility (with good service).

So normally I never do reviews on big chain places on Unilocal.BUT this starbucks is awesome. I come here all the time during rush hour in the morning and im always in and out fast (even drive thru) and the girls here are the best and so friendly!

Honestly, this place is busy. All the time. But I give it 4 stars b/​c they make good drinks here. This location could double in size and still be busy most of the time. It’s near neighborhoods of people who like to walk to get coffee. There is not enough parking in this shopping area. The drive through wraps around the building. See why I could give less stars!!! But they do make the drinks right. And if I really want coffee from Starbucks I come to this location.

Girls in there were funny and quirky so we ha a good time messing with them in there. They ended up giving me a free green tea too.

What can u say? I LOVE LOVE LOVE Starbucks. I might just be addicted, which would explain why I’m a gold card member lol. My absolute favorite drink us the salted caramel mocha, which is exactly what I’m sipping on at this moment!
The baristas are really friendly at this location. They love to customize drinks for you. The store is very neat & clean also. One of my favorite locations.

Baristas are really nice! Im not really sure what to write about this starbucks (vs all the other starbucks in the nation). But its located conveniently across the street from buffalo wild wings and sweet frog.
I wanted to try the orange spice iced coffee… but im a boring timid human and usually get my standard «blah boring iced coffee with 2 shots of sugar free vanilla, blah.». I wanted to be adventurous yesterday (i was even wearing a dress, which is not natural for me). ANYHOW, so i asked the barista if i could sample it– she actually made me a quarter glass of the tall drink and it was yum :) So, i ordered a tall, she gave me a grande cup (so i could mix my sample in with my tall) and rang me up :)
This location was CLEAN (the couches looked clean too. which is strange), including the bathroom (which i visited a number of times that day, damn the cofffee). This place is kinda cute because it has a little nook thats enclosed and it has 3 comfy chairs. Sucky part of the nook is– not enough light. Oh yea one weird thing i noticed– i didnt see any of their merchandise on clearance. which was weird for me because theres almost always something on sale at starbucks. expensive, but still sale.
So, yea in standard chains like this, i find it hard to comment on much except for what is dynamic — the baristas, location and cleanliness. Free wifi that works, ample parking and DRIVE THROUGH! Love this location and will return :)

Always friendly staff, very clean, and my drink is right every time!

I’m not a coffee drinker. I’d rather slosh down a big gulp full or coke zero over a salted caramel mocha. I figure I’m in the minority here, but I really don’t get the hype that surrounds Starbucks and drinking coffee.
That said, they have the most wonderful and relatively healthy breakfast wraps and sandwiches. It’s hard to avoid the temptation of the delicious looking treats, but I have been able to hold my ground.
Yesterday morning I had a spinach feta wrap. It consists of egg white, spinach and feta cheese encompassed by a yummy-​licious nutritious whole wheat wrap. The best part is that its thrown on a Panini press for some heat. This morning I had the turkey bacon, egg white and white cheddar sandwich on a whole grain bread again toasted a bit for some heat.
Love it.

This Starbucks is in a shopping center across from where the regal cinemas are. The baristas are pretty friendly and they tend to get my green tea frap done right. This place also has a convinient drive thru for people on the go, like me. :)

Just recently built. This new Starbucks has a drive-​thru!
Many of the baristas are transfers from the Chesapeake Square Starbucks location. They’re all friendly. a good mix of newbies and veteran baristas. The store manager is also very nice too.
The interior is spacious and clean… also nicely decorated. There’s even a patio area in the front with those cute green umbrellas :)
