I like their chai latte with a shot of espresso. Sweet with a kick.

This is our newest Starbucks in town and the space is quite nice/large. Unfortunately, the service was terrible - the last time I went in and it was filthy. When I went to order, there was a spill on the counter and the server did not clean it. I paid with cash and had to find a clean spot on the counter to put my money. Then, as we were waiting for drinks, I watched an employee use the blender without a lid, spill all over the place and then keep going, we waited a while and I did not see him clean up the spill mess. There was also a large pile of boxes in the space viewable to customers. The space is strangly organized and it looked like no one working that day cared about cleanliness. I’m not sure who the manager is for this location, it is as though no one was in change, making sure things are running smoothly and at a certain standard. This was unexpected and it made me suspect this location is in need of a full time manager.

Worst- 32 minutes later …. second drink came up wrong for me. Where’s a manager ?! Also the girls I complained to go off to the side and talk about it. They don't communicate with each other. No communication with customers, no smiles just all around. The male barista was nice enough but the overall feel is negative and not with a customer oriented attitude ! Also messy for having limited customers in store

I’ve never felt more unwelcome in a public space. The staff at this location clearly prioritize white customers while treating people of color especially Black, Brown, and Asian individuals with an appalling level of indifference and coldness. The difference in attitude and service is undeniable. While some customers are greeted with smiles and warmth, others are met with awkward stares, dismissive tones, and rushed interactions.
This isn’t just “bad service” it’s biased, discriminatory behaviour, and it’s absolutely disgusting in 2025. Starbucks claims to stand for inclusivity, yet allows this kind of treatment to go unchecked? Shameful. I will not be returning, and I sincerely hope others call this out too. Discrimination—whether subtle or overt—has no place in customer service or anywhere else.

It a decent Starbucks with an amazing (manager?) she (medium height with short slicked back hair) behaved like a manager was on top of everything and doing the jobs of three people while the girl in glasses leaned on the counter staring at people and when asked to do something moved so slowly I thought she might be broken or on the spectrum. Kudos to the younger short haired woman you rocked it!! Fab coffee by the way 🥰

I didn’t get their name. But I treated myself to a morning coffee this morning around 6:30 am. I was tired and was on my way to work. And the barista working had too much energy! They are welcomed me and uplifted my spirit which encouraged me to have a good day. We need more people like them! They are an amazing person! Cheers to them!!

It seems that they have changed some of the ways they function. They don't take your name anymore. They barely call out what you ordered, so if there is more than one person ordering the same thing it's up to you to know who's was next, messy. I went to the bathroom. When I got back there were several cups on the counter. I received several dirty looks (from customers) because I was inspecting cups that were sitting there waiting for an owner, the label print is tiny, so you have to get fairly close. Next time I'm using the drive through. The coffees were good and the muffin was yummy.
