“Shout out to the Barista's at Val Vista and Baseline!! I placed a mobile order and forgot to order one of the drinks as iced. I asked then if they could pour it over ice, and she insisted on re-making it. I wish I had gotten her name. She was awesome!“
“I normally wouldn’t go back on a drink that wasn’t correct especially if it was a case where I have driven off to a farther location. But today, i was at work, right around the corner and had a little extra time… and this store does not ever make mistakes 9.5/10 times. Especially never my drink. So this rare occasion was 1 in a million. Whether it was a mix up on drinks or perhaps some crossover of flavor somehow, it was not a big deal. They have always taken care of their patrons and always greet everyone with a welcome in or a good morning!! And today was no different. I hate coming back to have a drink fixed but they were very ready to do so. I appreciate them so much! Cuz now I’m drinking a delicious, perfectly made decaf brown sugar oat milk latte instead of what I think may have been tea… which while tasty… was not my decaf brown sugar oat milk latte that they so perfectly make 🤤🤤🤤🤤. Love this team!! Thank you for all you do!“
“#1, Starbucks is in every town I travel to… that’s just the start… the staff, the food, and of course, the coffees… they really are delicious! It is a great way to start your day, or a late afternoon, every now and then… I love Starbucks!!!“
“Starbucks is my go to on Sundays after I go wash And clean out my car. I take my Pugltese Gus Gus with me for his puppacino. We get the Grier Egg bites, my coffee and dragon ? drink and then go home to meal prep for the week. We love our #Starbucks on Gilbert and McKellips in Mesa, Arizona.“
“I don't know what's been going on with all the other Starbucks around the city but I recently moved here because its the only place where the workers are working and also have energy for work. It is so nice to be able to go somewhere where you get greeted with a nice smile and a welcome. Shame on all the other Starbucks around here but thank you guys for being so awesome!!!!“
“After a rather unpleasant experience at Costco, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional service I received at the drive-through. A young lady working there stood out with her friendly and professional demeanor, which was refreshing, especially in today's fast-paced environment where such kindness can be hard to come by, even at places like Starbucks.
During my brief interaction, we engaged in a nice conversation about where I’m from and what brought me to the area. It was a genuine exchange that made my visit feel more personal and welcoming, something I truly appreciated.
As for the coffee, it was great—exactly what I needed to lift my spirits after my earlier experience. Given this positive encounter, I would definitely recommend this location, especially for those like me who tend to avoid Starbucks. It’s nice to find a spot where the service is warm and the coffee is good. Thank you to the staff for making my visit worthwhile!“

“I’m from out of the state, and have been getting my Starbucks fix here for the past couple of days. There were 2 gentleman working today and yesterday that were AWESOME and friendly when educating customers . One even went above and beyond to show me how to get double points! There was also a very sweet woman with gorgeous shiny black hoop earrings and she was an absolute delight to speak with! The service here is wonderful, and my drinks and food was perfect every single time. I will definitely be visiting this location every time I visit! Thank you to those 3 employees for being so wonderful!!“
“I really enjoy this Starbucks each time that I go. I find that ordering drinks at a drive-thru can be difficult and lead to drinks being made incorrectly, so I really enjoy that I can order face-to-face with someone at this Starbucks. The workers are generally very nice and know a lot about the drinks offered. Every time I have gotten a drink here it has been made correctly, which I really appreciate. The drinks are delicious each time as well. They also offer a wide variety of food. I highly recommend this Starbucks location.“
“Walked into Starbucks just wanting a simple black coffee. What I got was a full-on personality reset. This coffee is so strong, I think it made direct eye contact with my soul. No cream, no sugar — just vibes and existential clarity. One sip and I suddenly understood meaning of life (42), my wife, and why cats stare at walls. Highly recommend if you want your heart rate and productivity to spike at the same time.“
“I always have a Five Star Experience at Southern & Val Vista store. Hardest working people I know. Ellis a the Captain of the ship over there doing a darn good job if you ask me. Pumpkin muffins are fresh and my Latte is never bitter or Flat. Big Love to This Location ❤️

“This Starbucks is alright, for the most part staff is friendly. They are not friendly when I have ordered online so I don’t do that anymore. I’ve been told I’m too early, even though there is a line anyway, one of my birthdays my order never went through to Starbucks side, the woman was so rude didn’t even acknowledge my birthday and lastly I’ve been told I should’ve come in due to me accidentally not choosing drive thru when I ordered.“
“Fabulous chai latte by Cupcake! She's the best! Visiting from Canada and was very impressed with the fast service. I asked for extra foam and Cupcake did not disappoint. She took great care making sure it was the perfect temperature I asked for...not too hot, not too cold, just right! Kudos to Cupcake!“

“I was sent to get the morning caffeine for my work. I never do the coffee run but I had my list. I tried to rattle off the few items correctly and get my coworkers modifications correct on drinks I hadn't heard of. The Barista (Hannah I believe?) recognized the order after the second drink and asked where I worked. When I replied, she knew exactly what was being ordered without me having to finish reading off the list. She made 8 drinks in no time flat and was so pleasant and happy. She commented that my coworkers are the nicest people and always order the same thing so she knew exactly what I needed. You Rock! Thanks for the much needed caffeine and good vibes.“
“The staff here are super friendly, extra helpful and soooo efficient. We were training with a company in Phoenix and were here for over a month, went here every morning for our coffee and believe me we were greeted by smiles and positivity each day.
Give these guys a raise!“
“Starbucks is great and the prices are questionable but the convenience is absolute but most of all these two ladies Elyse and Claire made up for anything I would perceive to be a negative. Thank you so much for making my day. I appreciate you both sincerely, and these are the quality of people you want working for you anywhere you want kind and happy humans.“
“Employees are awesome!! I order through the app and arrived to the store about 5 minutes after i ordered. They had my pastry ready & once they saw I was still waiting they made sure my drink was prioritized! The employees are great and so kind!! Made my day to have a stranger give me a smiling face and be so kind even when they were jam packed busy on a Sunday morning. 10/10:)“
“I have been going to the Starbucks for over a year, and no matter how Thirsty I am I don't go to any other Starbucks in Arizona unless I'm way out of town. Linds, and all of the staff there are awesome, they know me they make me feel so happy just stopping in there. I would recommend this Starbucks to anyone who is in the area you won't get any nicer baristas than they have there! Or any better service! And of course my pups love the pup cups and they always get lots of attention!“
“Early morning Karen is incredible! I went to another location that was consistently making bad drinks. Took a chance here and Karen fixes me up right every day. Customer service is top notch. Haven’t had a messed up order since. I know it’s just. Offer, but I will be giving her a Christmas gift 🤣“
“Service with a Smile! When I need my coffee fix Deesha is always there to the rescue. She whips up my order fast and friendly not only is she happy but greets me every day at the door. She's a Excellent worker and deserves to be recognized! Stop in the Starbucks on Val Vista and Southern and see Deesha in Action! This is my go to location for Service with a Smile?“
“This location is great! I sometimes come in for a short black coffee and the staff is super kind. Especially who I think is the manager Kevin. Very kind, helpful and straight forward I appreciate his professionalism 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼“
“I recently stopped by Starbucks for a quick breakfast through the drive-thru. I decided to try a few items apart from their summer menu as I have already tried few of them before.
I opted for egg whites with roasted bell peppers, as I prefer them over whole eggs for a lighter start to my day. I also got my usual cafe latte which never disappoints. Their coffee is consistently strong and flavorful, just how I like it.
The service was efficient and the staff were friendly despite the drive-thru being quite busy. The only minor drawback was that the wait was a bit longer than expected, but the quality of the food made up for it. I picked up my order and headed straight home to have a relaxed breakfast.
All in all, Starbucks delivered a satisfying breakfast experience. I'll definitely keep returning for their seasonal menu and reliable coffee.“
“I came here the other day literally at 6:25 and they close at 6:30 and I felt so bad. But whoever was working this shift thank you guys so much for the amazing service ! They got my drink PERFECT. I asked them to make sure my matcha is more drink than foam (because everywhere I go it’s always more foam than liquid ) and they met my needs with absolutely no doubts in their work or complaints. Usually when you request this people will say it’s hard to do that with no ice in it but this crew the evening I came did it with no problem! I also wanted to point out that I appreciate them being so kind to me especially since I came right before close. They made me feel so welcomed and I wish I got their names but it was two girls and a guy and if I remember correctly the guy had glasses. Just wanted to shout them out. Also I started coming here because the one by my house is so terrible they always ALWAYS get my drink wrong and I got so fed up with dealing with that Apache location I started to come here and they have never had a problem with making my OG drink which is a white mocha with vanilla pumps. Anyways just wanted to show appreciation to this location since the one in Apache is literally garbage don’t ever go there! I like this location a lot and would highly recommend coming here for good service and quality drinks !“
“Let's just start off with I've been having the worst week ever with my mother's sick with meningitis and me working a full-time job having a newborn baby and three other kids to take care of I literally just feel so defeated well I just rolled through to get me a coffee cuz for once I have a day off and I literally left my debit card at the freaking gas station and the other side of Scottsdale these girls were so sweet as I was breaking down and totally gifted me a coffee and also added a cake pop in for the baby while she's one years old I just want to say thank you so much that made my absolute day people just don't do that anymore and I really needed that this morning crew is everything and some I literally appreciate the hell out of all of them they are always amazing! !keep shining girls we see you“
“I would like to give a special shout-out to my girl and barista Camille for providing exceptional amazing service. She totally went above and beyond by making my coffee look perfect. She was so friendly and kind, we got to chat a little bit and she was amazing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you my friend and thank you for the amazing service. I can't wait to come back and I give her 10,000 stars. 🌟🌟🌟
Management, If you are seeing this, please give her a HUGE raise because she went above and beyond and was soooo nice.“
“Ordered a Frapp that i have never tried before and the staff made very good suggestions as in which i should add to the drink to make the taste more distinctive, which was a really good idea. Definitely going to order this drink more often thanks to the staff here. Wish i remembered her name though.“
“This Starbucks naturally don't have a drive through, because it's located in Fry's, but the service is excellent all the way around. When I shop at this Fry's all the time so, when I'm here, I always try to get one of their frappuccinos before or after I shopping here. Like I said, excellent service, excellent productivity. Very well done.“
“I got a great Las Vegas Starbucks coffee mug, I went to another Starbucks, it was all orange, and ugly. So, this is your best option for getting a Vegas Mug. They were fast with getting the orders, and the orders with the long lines they dealt with. Love that!“
“The classics, served within urban arrangements. Mesa, are you in the mood for classic accomodations served with premier service standards? Mesa's Starbucks location; delivers. Service standards, described as prompt, efficient and revealing attention to detail. Guests will experience limited issues when ordering at Mesa's Baseline location. Drinks (and other misc. items) served with prudence and customer satisfaction, in mind. Mesa's Baseline location prioritizes guests experience, above all. Reflecting an establishment described as efficient and consumer conscientious.“
“I love this Starbucks. It’s got cafe vibes even though it’s a drive thru too. I always get a mobile pick up order and my order is always accurate. The baristas are consistently friendly and nice, making sure to greet me as I walk through the door and saying good bye to me as I leave. I also appreciate the smiley faces and hearts that they draw on my cups often for an added touch of personalization.“
“(Cast: Carrie-Anne Moss)
(Carrie-Anne Moss walks in up to the counter and talks with the Barista)
Carrie-Anne: I'll take a hot coffee with whole milk... and if I order it in a mug, I get a refill, right?
Barista: Theoretically, yes.
Carrie-Anne: Alright, how much?
Barista: $2.86.
(Carrie-Anne hands him the money. Exact change.)
Barista: Thank you. We'll have it out in a minute... or so.
(Carrie-Anne heads away from the cash register over to the syrup area between the cash register and the east door. Her phone rings, and she picks it up)
Carrie-Anne: I'm in.
(She is pushed by an unseen force north through the right window in the second set across the parking lot toward McDonald's in an identical manner to the opening scene from The Matrix: Reloaded in slow motion and collides with the McDonald's drive thru window. She gets up.)
McDonald's drive thru guy: Hi, welcome to McDonald's. Would you like something to eat or a coffee?
Carrie-Anne: No, thanks, I just ordered a coffee at Starbucks.
(She walks back, re-enters Starbucks, grabs her coffee and drinks it quickly)
Carrie-Anne: I'll take the refill now.“
“My car broke down, so my husband had me dropped me off here while he worked on the car. Lovely Starbucks with lots of seating. The baristas were sweet, and my drink looked and tasted awesome!!! Great time, really made an awful day so much better.“
“Angel Romero (Store Manager) and her staff are absolutely phenomenal good group of employees. I have been living here in this area for almost 2 years and every time I come here they are so wonderful and very kind. My favorite for me to get is of course a cup of coffee and birthday cake pops. I look forward to coming back here every time and their service is great! Angel is such a great person to work with, always so friendly, cheer, and outgoing.“
“Spacious cafe, great for working or meeting with a couple friends. Outdoor seating is wonderful too. Staff is either so kind and accommodating, or neutral. I go back to this cafe for the layout and seating available, as well as its location since it's not far from the highway but away enough from traffic.“
“Its a small Starbucks but moves unlike any other. Times can be difficult with the flow of orders/traffic but I've seen the line move a steady pace. Workers here always answer with politeness and courtesy. This is my neighbor starbucks, early morning I order online and even in the morning the professionalism is great. Its also a cool location and architecture.“
“Your female employee from Washington gave me a phone charger cord! I was late for a meeting, left my charger cord at the office, phone battery flat-lined. As a loyal Starbucks patron, I raced in to see if someone would research the address so I could type into my car navigator. This angel employee went out to her car and gave me one of her seven charger cords! Saved me!!“
“The crew is very nice here. UPDATE: Do not come here if you need the wireless internet. It has not worked for over a month. All the baristas know it (but they can’t fix it and just apologize). Doesn’t affect me but to many this is an issue.“
