Starbucks

I love my Starbucks location!
The baristas already know what I like and they are very friendly.
If I want to try something new they never hesitate to make me a sample of a drink they think I may like.
If I order something and don’t like it they change it for me.
The management is great and very talkative attentive friendly !

The closest Starbucks in the area for me, another Starbucks is a good 15−20mins away so there’s not that many choices.
The only drinks that I have always ordered from Starbucks are Greentea Frappuccino and Hazelnut Frappuccino, and yet about 3 of the 5 times that I have ordered the greentea frappé, they wouldn’t have it, running out of greentea was always the reason.
The staff has their good and bad days. Not what I would expect from Starbucks baristas, but I’m just glad for now that they have one near where I stay.

The baristas are not trained properly to make certain hot drinks. Also, hot beverages served at warm temperature. I don’t see these same issues in McAllen area.

Starbucks is always a favorite! Love the new hazelnut macchiato and my friend lives by the café americana… Rock on

I like it simple: venti mocha frapp, no whip.
If you want to order from the (not so) secret menu…[
Biscotti Frappuccino — Buy a biscotti and ask the barista to blend it up with any flavor of frappuccino. It blends into tiny cookie chunks that add a delicious little crunch to your frozen coffee.
Short Drink — The sizes the «mainstream menu» gives you are «Tall,» «Grande» and «Venti,» but if you say you want the «short» size to any Starbucks drink you can receive a less expensive and smaller sized drink. Although this size is in their cash register, they don’t put it on the menu as a marketing strategy to make customers buy larger and more expensive drinks.
Short cappuccino — A «Short» cappuccino is a more Italian style cappuccino. Basically this cappuccino leaves out the gallons of milk Starbucks puts in for the more traditional amount of dairy that the drink originated with.
Red Eye — A shot of espresso in regular drip coffee.
Black Eye — Two shots of espresso in regular drip coffee.
Green Eye — Three shots of espresso in regular drip coffee. Not for anyone with a heart condition or road rage issues.
Poor Man’s Latte — Order an Iced Americano with no water and half ice, then you can add free half and half at the little milk and condiments table. This is the same drink as a Breve Latte but costs much less. Just watch out for the classy police. This is definitely not the most chic thing to be caught doing by your mother-​in-​law or boss.
Poor Man’s Chai Latte — Order a Chai Tea Misto with extra foam, two tea bags, and half cinnamon-​half vanilla syrup. This is basically the same drink but almost half the price.
Café au Lait — If you’re French and looking for something nostalgic of your homeland order the Misto without foam for a classic French coffee drink.
French pressed coffee — You can choose any coffee they sell by the bag and have it served in a French press. For coffee snobs, this is one of the best way to appreciate all of the flavors of the coffee you chose.
Chocolate Cream Frapuccino — Chocolate syrup and chocolate flavoring. Lots and Lots of chocolate! Do not underestimate the amount of chocolate in this frozen blended coffee. Only for the true chocolate lover die hard.
Chocolate Dalmation — The Chocolate Dalmatian adds java chips and chocolate chips to a white chocolate mocha for that extra something.
Cake Batter Frappuccino — You can lick the edges of the cup afterwards too. The Cake Batter Frappuccino is a vanilla frap with both vanilla bean and almond flavoring.
