Starbucks Reviews
Went to this Starbucks yesterday. Walked in to a huge crowd backed almost out the door. To my suprise, only two people behind the counter. They worked fast and hard with smiles to accommodate their customers. Customers didn't get angry as they knew this was a lot for only two employees. Impressive.
Twice in one week I've gotten bad attitude from two different employees. If they expect to receive cash tips from customers they should learn how to be courteous and friendly. The employees in Elk Grove were nice and greeted everyone who walked in. Miss the old Starbucks when they strive to remember your name. Sorry Starbucks, you just lost another customer.
This visit included slow and surly service. The barista managed to screw up two orders within the almost ten minutes I was waiting for my coffee. Avoid this location.

Starbucks Coffee Company is a popular and busy coffee shop that offers a welcoming environment and good coffee. Many customers appreciate the friendly and well-trained staff, especially a cashier named Bridgette, who is known for her sweet and conversational manner, making visitors feel valued. The baristas often go beyond just serving drinks by writing handwritten notes like “Chai there!” or “Have a brew-tiful day!” which adds a personal touch and brightens the day.
The store can get quite busy, especially with online orders, which sometimes causes delays even for simple orders like an espresso. Customers have noted that the store has lost some features, such as the self-serve counter, which has led to longer waits and staff passing items like sugar or stirrers, often forgetfully. The pastries are not always fresh and are overpriced, with some made off-site and just preheated.
Despite the hustle and some critiques about pricing and wait times, many people find the atmosphere positive and enjoy visiting for a quick drink or to relax. Some mention that it’s a good spot to chill after activities like soccer or to get a quick pick-me-up. Overall, Starbucks offers good coffee and a friendly environment, though it is sometimes crowded and rushed.
