Starbucks

Updated 2020- 2018- Starbucks is life. I know I’m dramatic but I need caffeine to live and Starbucks gives me that fuel every single day yes every single day. I have my hot drink that does not change and make cool drink when it’s hot out that does not change. I’ve been a gold member for five years. You got to earn them re-wards

19 times of 20 I get excellent service at this location. That 1 time though, always puts me in a bad mood. There are a couple of people there that just talk to me and look at me like they have somewhere better to be. I end up feeling rushed out and disappointed. But the drink orders are almost always right and if you go before noon they are fast.

This place is comfy and clean, and the employees are very nice! There were no customers when I ordered my drink, so it was made pretty fast. However, I wouldn’t have mind waiting long because the drink was really delicious. When I am on my way to work I always notice how long the drive through is in the evening. I wish people can understand that a customer can have more than one drink, and that it takes time and effort to make the drinks.

When at Tikhatnu you have two Starbucks choices, one in the Target and this location. Sometimes, especially when with shopping weary children, the drive thru here is a lifesaver! My son is now a huge fan of their Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade and my daughter a faithful Frappuccino drinker. If the line seems long don’t let that stop you, honestly it moves much faster than you might expect. Be sure to bring some cash to tip...you can’t add gratuity when using charge or gift cards.

I used to love this location but lately I feel like it has gone downhill. The staff used to be so friendly in the drive through and now I feel rushed through ordering two drinks and usually skip the food item I wanted to order due to the barista saying "is that all" in an irritated voice after ordering each drink. The line wasn't even long this morning. There were maybe 4 cars in front of me and none behind me until I got to the window. My drinks were still wrong. No soy milk and no espresso in my chai tea latte when I had asked for both. When I asked at the window if my latte had espresso in it after not seeing it listed on the sticker, the barista said, "espresso doesn't come in a chai tea latte." I know. Which is why I had ordered a few shots to be added at the speaker. I never complain at the shop and usually just deal with the mistake so as to not upset the barista, which is sad for how much money I'm paying for coffee at this place. This happens so often now at this location that I'm done going here for now.
