“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!“
“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!“
“Shout out to Derek, Chris, Owen, Ebiza, and all of the other baristas at this Starbucks. They are extremely nice, fast, and provide a great experience every time. They are the type of crew you wish were on your team where you work. Thanks yall 😁🙌“
“It's a Starbucks so you know what you will experience. I do wish that they could have more non-coffee offerings and maybe something to absorb the sound since it can get loud when there are many patrons in the seating area. This is a great location being only a short walk from Banner Hospital.“
“Pretty sure I ordered hot mocha. Was in a slight hurry when i grabbed the drinks, so it didn't register that mine was made iced instead as I thought it was my mom's drink that was iced.
Also, please bring back the impossible sandwich. I really dislike cheese, and you can't take all the cheese off of the egg and pesto because for some strange reason it's on top of the bun 😐.“
“I stop by tonight to get my nightly coffee and I didn't catch her name but the barista tonight was wonderful and I'm just glad when I have a good one because my drink is kind of a lot not really it's a lot to say but it's really not complicated just like extra eyes extra foam put it in a bigger cup to make room for the extra ice and the extra foam you know it's really not that complicated but a lot of the times the baristas make it they give me dirty looks or whatever for ordering a complicated drink I get it they're busy and they're in a rush but I paying $10 for a specialized drink so anyways I just wanted to give shout out to this location they were wonderful my drink tasted exactly how I ordered it which is nice usually it's half ass so thank you ladies“
“Starbucks
I come to this location regularly and order the same thing. One morning staff member consistently stands out—he greets customers at the door and actually acknowledges people with a simple “good morning,” which makes a real difference.
Unfortunately, that level of basic customer service is not consistent across the rest of the team. Most visits feel like customers are being ignored.
Thank you to the gentleman working this morning for doing his job with real professionalism and courtesy. It matters.“
“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!!!!“
“I love the people at the Starbucks at Recker and McKellips in the Frys. They are all amazing people!
Kid-friendliness: It's in a grocery store and they treat the kids great
Parking: Parking lot of a grocery store
Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of handicap party and easy access to everything“
“Good Starbucks inside a Target. Someone was training on the register and she was friendly and did a great job. Drinks came out fast and accurate.
Vegetarian options: Drinks are vegetarian. Vegan if you get alt milks.
Dietary restrictions: Alternative milks
Parking: Target
Wheelchair accessibility: In a Target“
“I can't say enough nice things about this location. I have never caught an attitude from anyone there, not once. My drink is always on point, they're consistent. Everyone is so nice, you're greeted as you walk in and they say goodbye when you leave. I come in with big orders sometimes and they've never acted annoyed or like I'm a burden. I work close by and we all love this location.“
“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 ❤️
Dietary restrictions: Oatmilk“
“I was so excited for this Starbucks to be built so close to my house and it does not disappoint! My daughter and I spent a couple of hours there and everyone was friendly and accommodating. The staff were happy and got along with each other well which helped with the overall feel of the place! I'm excited to be spending many long hours studying at my new favorite Starbucks!!“
“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.“
“I LOVE everyone there!! I love the atmosphere.. I'm greeted with a smile when I come in, my order is always taken and received with a smile, kindness, and what I feel is incredibly attentive! If for any reason they mess up, which is not often, they immediately jump into action to resolve the problem, and make sure you're happy! I'd recommend literally anyone go to this Starbucks, and try new things too! Vegan and vegetarian options are available and they will make them taste phenomenal 💚“
“They deals have been blowing FRYS out of my reach !!! Lol
Their hot deli is awesome, always great tasting n fresh, at least when we go...!!! Pot pies, HELLA GREAT, MEATY AS HECK, I DO WANT A LIL GRAVY !! LOL... N BAKERY !!! I GOT LAZY N BOUGHT MY BIRTHDAY CAKE !!! JUST FRUIT ON TOP..AS I AM A 4TH OF JULY BABY !!! SOOOOOO GOOOOOOODDD
BEST TRES LEVHES, N FROM SAFEWAYS !!!!!?????

“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:)“
“Taylor was friendly, worked fast, and we had a lovely chat about the Stanley Parable!! He was very sweet and they made the experience nice. I've had several starbucks strawberry lemonade refreshers but this one was the most amazing yet!“
“I would have to agree with some of the other local guides, this location has become a bit stuffy. Up to and including the requirement of one person per chair. In my case, it was a simple playful opportunity with the prettiest girl in the East Valley to sneak in a quick kiss before a full hard day's work. Apparently the Asst Mgr doesn't like an amazing love story. I will continue to frequent Kissy Korner but now that I understand the stringent hands off policies, it may be a drive thru situation.“
“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?“
“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 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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“This location is not busy during my mid-morning visits. Seating has been open.
Their service is friendly & quick.
I stop in for Keto friendly Egg Bites & a fresh brew with a generous dose of heavy whipping cream. YUMMY!“
“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!“
“I have been a long time Starbucks customer and at one point in time was even a partner! I have mostly lost faith in the brand to execute and deliver on basic common sense etiquette, etc. Today I was BLOWN AWAY by Bobbie (sorry if I spelled her name wrong). She was kind and cheerful and brightened my day. Thank you for your positive energy!“
“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.“
“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.“

Every time I visit this location, Kallie makes the experience exceptional. She remembers my order, always has my iced coffee ready with a side of heavy cream, and greets me with a smile. She’s welcoming, friendly, and truly great to chat with. She represents Starbucks in the best possible way.
Thank you so much, Kallie....you’re the best! ☕️“
“(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.“
“Not quite the same as going to a stand alone Starbuck’s location but sometimes the perfect way to combine errands as this location is inside the Bashas at Power and McDowell. It’s also a good option if you happen to go to grab something quickly at the full Starbuck’s location across the parking lot, but the lines were outrageous.“
“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.“
“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.“
“There was a misunderstanding , They have happily took care of it no negative vibe not sure it was that I wasn't clear or the headset didn't pick up the order right either way go they handed me the drink I noticed it was the wrong size they promptly fixed it cheerfully Seem like sincere smiles where sometimes you would get that negative vibe so again I appreciate the staff this morning on the 1st day of the New Year taking care of me right“
“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.“
