Starbucks

What an extraordinary establishment this "Starbucks" proves to be! Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the harmonious blend of industrious energy and convivial repose. The modern decor, though unfamiliar, carries a sense of refinement that speaks to the aspirations of this industrious age.

The coffee—oh, the coffee! My "venti caramel macchiato" was a revelation. Its exquisite sweetness was an indulgence I dare say surpassed the finest confections of my era. The frothy elegance atop the brew added an artistic flourish that surely elevates the soul.

The ambiance, though bustling, was captivating. Patrons immersed themselves in wondrous glowing devices, and the air hummed with industry and camaraderie. The staff, cheerful and adept, greeted me with a warmth that bespoke genuine hospitality, even as they noted my unusual attire with delightful amusement.

In summary, Starbucks offers not merely coffee but an experience—a glimpse into a vibrant future where refinement meets innovation. I would recommend this splendid establishment to any gentleman, even one such as myself, displaced in time. Five stars, without hesitation.

Yours in delight,
A Most Pleased Gentleman by the name of Cornwallace Dougenheimer St. Stevenson

Their setup of drive through always leads to traffic backed up. Repeat ALWAYS! reduced 2 lanes to 1 Lane. And it's at the corner.

It is dangerous. Should be illegal!!

Convenient location with competent, caring baristas clearly working hard—seeking to do their best to tailor the custom beverages appropriately. Comfortable seating inside and outside store. Appears to be a preferred King George Hwy / White Rock neighbourhood location {impressions of a just-passing-thru Vancouver, BC resident}

Worst Starbucks I’ve ever ever been to. 30 minutes for a cold brew it wasn’t even busy. It’s just the staff loitering chitchatting ignoring clients. Didn’t even bother to call out the drink never mind get my name So that I know it’s mine. Everyone was shaking their heads by the lack of acknowledgement and the long wait. Starbucks could do better

Came here today at 5:05pm and there was a sign on the door saying they changed their hours and now close at 5pm (?) Please update your hours on Goggle if that’s the case. Last visit here I ordered a drink and they completely missed one ingredient, but remade it for me.

This location is often a disappointment.

I can come here one day and order a drink and then a day or two later order the same and get a completely different standard and result. Being a Starbucks customer for over 20 years, it’s surprising as Starbucks was always one of those big chains where you could ‘guarantee’ the same service and quality standards from location to location, city/municipality to city. I guess not anymore.

This location is really a ‘it depends what time of day and who is working’ as to what level of service and quality you will receive. Unfortunately it’s the closest and only one to walk to easily in the area.

One day you can get a full bodied and full flavoured espresso based drink where you can taste the syrup and the next day you can get a watered down, flavourless coffee. There also seems to be more inconsistency with decaf and dairy alternative drinks.

A lot of times they seem short staffed and many of the workers are curt and short fused.

An order of 3-4 drinks will have some drinks coming up with lids and sleeves and others without. Upon asking you are begrudgingly obliged, other times barked at to grab one from the back island…how is one to know???

The other thing that happens a lot is this location closes early. There have been several times when I’ve shown up to a hand written note on the door about being closed early. Every time I checked the hours on Google maps before showing up…definitely strange and inconvenient to say the least.

I don’t know why there is such a different experience at this location than I’ve had elsewhere, but with so many large complexes and apartments going up in the area, this location needs to step it up!

Dietary restrictions: Most drinks can accommodate dairy free alternatives except not the mochas or hot chocolate. Some drinks you have to omit certain aspects of the ingredients to keep it vegan/dairy free. Most are gluten free, however again, not the mochas or hot chocolate.
Not many food options other than the nuts, chips and apple chips are vegan or gluten free.

Barista is taking his sweet time making my coffee while talking to a friend. Want to socialize with a non customer? Do it during your break.

Pretty small with limited seating, staff often get drink wrong and are extremely slow sometimes starting to make your drink 10 minutes after you do an order, especially if online.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a sidewalk but there is a way up there.
