Starbucks

It’s a Starbucks.
Nothing major wrong or right here. Employees can be a bit scattered (it’s a new place). The only major bleeding downside is the parking and layout. It’s basically impossible to get in here without getting in a collision. Take care when driving.

I would say that this Starbucks is a last resort for me; I only come here when I am nearby and do not feel like patronizing any other coffee shops on campus due to a lack of energy. The lines here are usually very long, especially in the morning, and the drinks can be sub-​par, even by Starbucks standards. So, the only way I would recommned this Starbucks locatrion is if someone is really desperate for an energy boost.

the stuff there was stupid. They mixed up my name with an Arabia name and made me wait for 15 minutes, which made me late for class. When I asked about it, they just insisted on rewriting the name. Did it make any sense? Just don’t know what were they thinking.

Much better than the Espresso that used to be here. Espresso drinks are awful. My only gripe with this place is that the employees can’t follow simple instructions. I don’t like hot coffee and I don’t like iced coffee so I asked for their cold brew without ice. I was the only customer there. They gave me ice. The employee appeared to realize her mistake halfway through and stopped but then she gave me the cup anyway… so I don’t know what was up with her but I didn’t want to get her, specifically, to redo my drink.

I don’t really drink coffee or coffee adjacent drinks, but on a brisk Fall day, I can be persuaded. While I miss the presence of Espresso Royals in the Union, Starbucks never lets me down when it comes to yummy drinks with quick, courteous service. This location is pretty sweet, smack in the center of the Union on Green. Most quad traffic comes through this place and the hotel upstairs provides a stream of willing, tired travelers. However, I came to this little pit stop on a Saturday morning at 9am. Not only are students still snuggled abed, most travelers are up and headed to whatever event they are here for. That is to say there was no line and nobody anywhere near the Starbucks. This feat is practically unheard of! So that means I can stroll up (just in time to hear a girl chew them out about her bagel) and order my first, and probably only, pumpkin spice latte of the season. The young man took my order and whipped up my drink by the time I stepped to the left. He not only spelled my name right (that never happens) but said it right! I’m always ready to add sugar or cinnamon to my drinks but this latte was perfect. I didn’t do a thing to it and am currently sipping my way to happiness. Add the comfy faux leather chairs in the courtyard and I’m good. I won’t complain about prices here. We all know coffee is a luxury good. A tall latte will cost you $ 5 and if you want food, you better pull out a $ 20. But, for what it’s worth, this is a nice place, if you get up early enough.
