Starbucks in Phoenix

“I stopped into this Starbucks in a bit of a rush and just ordered a water and a Strawberry Açaí Lemonade Refresher. I didn’t catch the correct spelling of their names, but I want to recognize Alisa and Tinae for making the quick stop such a positive one. Tinae especially seemed to pick up on the fact that it had been a rough day, and her kindness and upbeat attitude really lifted my mood. Both Alisa and Tinae were incredibly pleasant and made the interaction memorable, even for such a simple order. Excellent customer service—highly recommend this location!“

“I work at a starbucks and hour away and came to this location to do some school, From the second i walked in all the baristas made eye contact with me and gave me a warm welcome. And made sure they did the same with every single customer walking through the doors. Everyone was extremely nice and shows a perfect example of what exceptional customer service looks like. My drink was made to perfection, the baristas were communicating and connecting with each customer. The store was also very clean. Im definitely taking what i saw at this location with me to my store and sharing with my partners what a great experience i had, and strive to do the same.“

“I am new to the area and am a frequent starbucks customer. I have been content with my experiences around Scottsdale - but it all changed when I went to this location. The location has some of the friendly baristas who make the most immaculate drinks I have ever had at a coffee shop. Amelia always make sure my order is correct and exactly to my liking - I was recently told she was promoted to manager - well deserved!!!“

“This location does not have a drive-thru but it does not hinder the excellent experience I have each time I visit.
The employees are friendly, the service is quick, the building is clean, and the dim atmosphere is cozy in the way only a coffee shop can be. The food is hot and made fresh but it is typical Starbucks fare.
All in all, it is worth parking and walking in to get your coffee if for no other reason than a moment of peace in this hustle and bustle world.“

“I love this location , all the staff is very friendly , welcome in with a smile. The vibe is nice and positive. My drinks are just perfect on flavor. Quality and fast service .

My husband and me ordered two ice Pumpkin Cream Chai with Pumpkin cold foam. 💯 recommend.“

“The costumer service I received was top tier the young man working the drive thru was so pleasant wasn’t expecting a casual conversation every other Starbucks I been to in Phoenix I always felt rushed but this costumer service was the best I received bless yall“

“I don't drink coffee, but my daughter loves their cake pops so we go there quite a bit. Nice open seating inside and out and exceptional customer service.

Kid-friendliness: The workers at this Starbucks are nice to kids and adults.“

“This is my go-to location, regardless of it being out of my way to work. I’d like to give a special shoutout to Karl. Although I don’t see him in the drive-thru often, during the few times I have, he’s taken the time to remember both my name and my regular order. That level of attention makes me feel genuinely recognized and valued,truly top-notch service. All of the baristas provide excellent service, but Karl has really stood out.“

“Absolutely love this location! Only been to the location a few times and they are super speedy and very genuine. I don’t typically take the time to write reviews but I would really like to shout out one of the baristas Julissa! She is the absolute sweetest and there’s something about her vibe that is just so wonderful and comforting! This location is truly genuine. Very cool vibe and staff! Thank you for feeding my caffeine addiction and being such great people. 10/10“

“This is a great location. The service was good. The food and coffee was freshly made. I ordered the turkey and cheese sandwich with chips. My husband ordered a cappuccino and lemonade cake. Our items were served hot. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend this location.“

“They usually make my drinks better than the Starbucks drive thru location in the same parking lot. Only complaint is that often times there’s nobody at the counter to help for a good 5+ minutes so you have to tell a fry’s employee to call them up“

“I just want to say I LOVE this Starbucks! The people are so friendly and kind. I’ve been coming here for years- multiple times a week and I’m always greeted with a smile and when time allows a conversation. They are so welcoming and my drinks and food are always on par. They are a fun bunch and even during the rush and crazy times they still manage to go above and beyond.“

“I came in wed April 7th @ like 6:58 pm. There was a very sweet young lady behind the counter. Let me just say this, she was the nicest most welcoming Starbucks worker I have ever encountered. I ordered a drink and I’m pretty sure she was all but close physically and I didn’t realize and I apologized and told her nvm and I just felt bad. As I am to in the restaurant industry as well . She denied my cancel request and happily made my drink anyway. She absolutely made my night. This young lady was spectacular at customer service and I would know I been bartending almost 20 years. I wish I would of caught her name. But she now made it to where ide rather walk into frys and get my coffee then go through a drive through. That’s quality service. Grade A+ for effort and attitude and work ethic. Not to mention was literally the best tasting Mocha Frap I’ve had. Thank you ? we do appreciate and notice u. Your hard work does not go unnoticed my dear!“

“Hillary at the Dove Valley location is the best at this location! She fixes my drinks perfectly every single time. Also, at Happy Valley location, Sunflower and Karen are the best as well. These ladies always fix my drink perfectly 👌! Not too much water, or too much ice. They deserve raises! ❤️“

“The staff at this location has always without a doubt turn even the worst of mornings into positive ones. From the speedy delivery service to the wonderful little messages or stickers left on the cups upon delivery. Every staff member is always smiling and greeting with a positive attitude. I love Starbucks and this just makes me love it even more. Thank you all and keep up the great job!“

“I go to the Starbucks a lot and honestly today I was having a horrible day. I went to Starbucks for my Comfort cookie, lol, and a water. I took a moment to look at my water and I started busting out laughing. Literally put a smile on my face. I really appreciate the staff that works there. You guys are amazing.
“Can I get a agua agua!!!” 💜💜💜💜🤘🏿“

“So no drive thru. They didn't gave grande or venti coffee lids... lady was nice about it but was frustrating after only 3 hours sleep and no time to go to another. Another thing, seems it's trending, almost hot coffee... can literally guzzle it.... did they lose a lawsuit?“

“Great service every time friendly & knowledgeable employees. This is my new favorite location.

Parking: Drive thru leaves plenty of parking space they don't cause a traffic jam because they aren't so close together like many other locations“

“Went in with my mother, who wasn't having the best day, and she dropped her entire drink in the parking lot by accident. I went back in and the barista was incredibly sweet making a new drink and leaving a nice little note to cheer up my mom. Thank you! It totally turned her day around to have that small bit of kindness from a stranger.“

“To the manager who was there today, when I ordered my Flat White and asked to be helped with getting on the calendar for the room you all have available, thank you. You were so kind and patient with me, and you kept up with everything else going on around you like a pro. I appreciate you. Thank you again.“

“This has been my favorite Starbucks since moving downtown! Everyone here is always so kind & lovely. Joselyn has always been such a delight every morning & I appreciate her so much ! Thank you for being the highlight of my crazy days :) Keep being you !“

“I have honestly been to alot of starbucks by far this is one of the best starbuck I've been too. My experience there has been the best makes me want to keep going back. The workers are so friendly and fast they are so polite they talked to me the whole time suggested things I love it the atmosphere was great I felt like I knew them for ever will definitely be going back.“

“My love always gets me lattes and teas from this location and they’re better than the drive through Starbucks in the area. The staff is always super kind and warm to us and says hi to our four year old. When I find the name of the gentleman who helped us this morning I’ll add it. He was so nice and helpful. I prefer going here instead of other locations.“

“I shop at this Target often and I rarely stop at the Starbucks inside…but today I decided to stop there and try the Horchata Shaken Espresso because I saw the sign inside the store. The barista was so nice and made me a sample of the new Summer drink. Both drinks were AMAZING!!“

“Starbucks is ALWAYS AWESOME! Sometimes bossy people who work there bother me, but that's rare. Usually that's when they're getting in my face about not wearing a mask. BTW, did you hear about the massive new Danish study on acpjournals dot org (November 18, 2020) that said "masks may actually increase Covid infection rates?" I hope they don't bury this science in favor of science that removes all of our liberties. Anyways, just an FYI. ? Starbucks rocks, for the most part!“

“A very funny and light interaction, I had today. I’m not a huge fan of coffee, but love the refreshers here. But I wanted to make my own to go drink with ingredients like everyone else does. With the certain amount of pumps, or flavor. So I would often come in and request all of this stuff in a drink and it turns out bad and nasty.

There was a tall guy there with brunette hair, who was very sweet about it, but was confused on the order that I was creating. I apologize to him many times and told him how I was wanting to create my own signature drink in which he kindly listened. It was a laughable and embarrassing moment. But he said he knows exactly what I’m trying to make and said he will surprise me.

He comes back with the order and haves me try it and which I LOVEED. Tell me why it’s a strawberry creme frappe. I was so flushed and asked is this a new drink and he said no it’s been on the menu for awhile. Thank you for humoring me!!

I love this drink and the hospitality!!

🌸💕“

“Excellent attention everyone super nice. Happy. In contro control, armony . ;). My mom have dementia and make a mess with the drinks. They all was so nice & calm. Replacement everything and I didn't one it They all clean and make us feeling better. Everyone coming like friends with all of the team lol. Happy place. The only name I remember is Luke. Thx to all of them for make my day better. Starbucks is lucky to have all good team in this location.“

“I’ve been to many Starbucks in my day. I’ve never walked into a Starbucks with every employee shouting “WELCOME TO STARBUCKS!” Instantly made my day. Delivered my coffee to me at my table and shared a good laugh. Will go out of my way to visit this location when I’m in the area.“

“If I could give more than a five star, I would Mikey was at the window and he definitely blue my visit out of the water. I have never been to a Starbucks where someone actually either cared about the person they were helping or really like their job. Everyone needs to be more like Mikey. He definitely was the best part of my visit.“

“I love Starbucks coffee of course. But this is the 4th time I’ve go into the store and was unable
to sit down. I understand you have new employees but I don’t think you should take 3 tables & chairs for your new employees. What about the customers who just paid for food & coffee?? I know that there’s some seating outside but it’s not cool enough for that. I feel like Starbucks should have a pop up location for new employees or have a small hall/office space for your training. Or make your own designated area for new employees that does not take away seating from
paying customers.“

“This is a great Starbucks location. There is lots of seating and the staff is very helpful. I ordered a green tea and a breakfast sandwich. As usual most of their food is usually just preheated so it was just okay. But nobody really comes here for the food, the green tea was delicious and the people I was with enjoyed their coffee. It does get a little loud in here and echoes, but overall it's a great vibe because the staff in the morning was very friendly and the service was super quick.

Parking: This is a very easy Starbucks to park. It has plenty of parking spots and easily to access handicap spots“

“I really enjoyed having a place to hang out while mom had treatment next door. I do not like sitting in air conditioned waiting rooms, so this was perfect for me, and the misters were an added bonus. Very friendly staff & customers too!“

“I always go here for my coffee and my exact mix they follow and yes i love them little smiley notes or so that they add outside my cup. Thank you for making my day with the smiles sometimes these cute little notes can make a difference in someones stressful or anxious life“

“Shaq is the best!!! Very good customer service , he always has the best attitude and that is very hard to find, every time he is there he just has the best smile and attitude and always ready to help, I just want him to get recognized for his hard work!! He makes my day every time I come in to this Starbucks location!!!“

“This is one of the best Starbucks in the central/uptown phoenix neighborhood. They always have food in stock and their online system up to date. The people behind the counter are always friendly in an authentic way. Whenever I do a mobile order, the food is ready within 5-8 mins. Great job with this team! ❤️❤️“

“Meant to share this last week. But I came in for my birthday and grabbed a coffee before work. Staff were amazing and made me feel special, even just over a quick coffee. As I worked in the hospitality industry, I had to share what the barista did (she had colored hair, sadly didn’t get her name). A simple, thoughtful, and kind gesture to recognize my birthday. She and the team wished me happy birthday on my way out.“

“Mervin (I hope I spelled that correctly) was working the drive thru and he is absolutely wonderful! Kind, patient and personable. Such a nice interaction first thing in the morning ♥️ The positivity really sets the day up and I'm extremely grateful:)“

“First off I really want to say thank you to Kiara,Kayloni, and Preston for showing me so much love. they have been very sweet to me. Very kind. Their customer service is amazing. I definitely say stop by this Starbucks on 43rd and Dunlap. I literally pass up a couple of Starbucks just to come over here. They will take very good care of you. Just come see them.“

“My favorite location to do to is this one I live downtown so I’ve been to a few locations in this area but love this one they are also super nice and welcoming no matter the employee or day one employee who stood out today who lead me to even want to write a review to was ALEX !!!! He was super kinda friendly and was my barista shoutout to him and ALL THE EMPLOYEES on shift ?“

“The Starbucks inside USAA is hands down one of the best spots for a coffee break. The team here delivers exceptional service every time, making it a go-to destination for anyone working at or visiting the campus. The baristas are not only fast and efficient, but they also make the effort to remember regulars’ orders and always ensure everything is perfect.

The atmosphere is ideal—whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or a spot to relax and recharge, this location provides a comfortable space to unwind. Despite being inside a corporate building, the warmth and friendliness of the staff give it that classic Starbucks vibe, making it feel like a small getaway within the busy workday.

What really sets this Starbucks apart is the attention to detail and the personalized experience they offer to every guest. They know how to balance speed with quality, ensuring that every drink is crafted just right. This location is a standout, and it’s clear they care about making the Starbucks experience top-notch for the USAA community.“

“The staff at Starbucks went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of in my capacity as an Uber Eats & Doordash driver. We can deliver things to consumers faster thanks to this assistance with orders coming in and going out of the restaurant.

Thank you,

Darrin M.“

“Steph is just amazing. I saw the way she was interacting with her coworkers and customers and just felt her energy. She did something for me on a hard day while I had my little one on my way to pick up my husband for the doctors office and I didn’t make my coffee this morning which is why I was there in the first place. I got a pumpkin loaf and I told her how much I used to love these back in my Starbucks days 20 years ago. I told her we used to put butter on them before putting them into the oven and sometimes I ramble and I get people are busy but Steph was listening. She made my load just as i remembered. I have a hard time doing things for me these days and life has been crazy so it’s not wonder why something so small made my eyes water. Thank you Steph and I hope this finds you one day. You made a difference. Thank you!!!“

“I come here everyday and these people are amazing they're not just here to give you coffee, they're so kind and uplifting! To all the people that said this place is not good or doesn't have good service trust me they're wrong I love everyone here the manager Tiffany is amazing and kind and you can tell she cares about her store and customers! Two of my favorite people that make me smile everytime I come in are Katie and Shannon, they are so awesome! I do not go to another Starbucks because of these ladies! If you want great coffee made with love and care, and amazingly kind service on top of that then come here it's so worth it!! These ladies and everyone here are great!!! ??“

“When you walk in several employees, all great you! Ask you how your day is going!
Even after getting my coffee and sitting at one of the tables, they continue to speak with you, feel at home! Very much enjoyed that as I was there alone. You will very much enjoy your time here!“

“Good service, they have good snacks and they spell your name right. They can get very busy in the morning and sometimes only have 2 people working. But most mornings they had 3, which made the service a little faster. Nice way to start the day off.“

“They added way too much peppermint to my drink so I asked them to add more chocolate but they just replaced the drink… very good customer service and friendly staff.

Parking: You have to park in the fry’s lot and then go into fry’s to go to Starbucks. If you are looking for a drive thru/quicker alternative there is a Starbucks across the street!

Kid-friendliness: Is kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Is wheelchair accessible“

“Just want to give a shout out to Denise and Prince. There's also a gal with red in her hair and I can't remember her name. She works in the morning. Yall are always so kind and helpful. I come here just about everyday. Thanks for the kindness. We can't get enough of that right now. Stay blessed Starbucks crew. 🙏🙌“

“The gal in the morning weekday shifts makes the drinks correctly. It sounds like a small compliment, but I mean it with highest praise. I travel all over the valley during the day for work and I go to lots of Starbucks. I also used to be a barista I still remmeber the recipe for my favorite drink the SCCCB, salted carmel cream cold brew… pour vanilla sweet cream to the 100 line, two packets salt, two pumps carmel… yadayada. Anyway the morning crew here does the best job of any Starbucks in the valley by far.“

“The manager was working the register and was very kind. He let me know I could get a free pastry item the day I went in which made my day. Angel made my coffee and I was a little disappointed that he didn't listen to my specific requests about extra light ice even after I verbally told him not to do a lot of ice.“
