I stopped by Starbucks in the morning to grab some breakfast and a coffee. One thing I immediately appreciated was the availability of parking—there were plenty of open spots, which made the visit hassle-free. Morning runs to Starbucks can sometimes be a hit or miss when it comes to crowd levels, but on this particular visit, I had a smooth experience.
For my order, I went with a Mocha Frappuccino and a Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich. Right away, I was impressed with the service. The staff was friendly, efficient, and had my order ready quickly. It’s always nice to start the day with a positive interaction, and this Starbucks location delivered in that regard.
The Mocha Frappuccino was exactly what I was hoping for—creamy, rich, and indulgent with the perfect blend of coffee and chocolate flavors. Starbucks is known for its consistency with drinks, and this one did not disappoint. It was smooth, sweet, and a great pick-me-up.
As for the Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich, it was decent but not my favorite. The flavor was good, with the smoky bacon adding a nice touch, but I found it a bit on the saltier side and a little drier than I prefer. Given that Starbucks doesn’t prepare its sandwiches fresh in-house, I didn’t have high expectations, but I was hoping for something a bit more balanced in texture. If you’re someone who enjoys a heartier, saltier breakfast option, this might be a solid choice for you.
Overall, this Starbucks visit was a success. The convenience, excellent service, and tasty drink made for a great start to the day. While the food isn’t necessarily the highlight, it’s still a reliable option when you need something quick. I’d definitely return for another coffee and maybe try a different breakfast item next time.

Terrible customer service. Manager is condescending.

Very nice people who work there! I just don’t like the fact that when you’re giving a steaming hot cup of coffee, you have to ask for a sleeve, then you have to ask for a stirring stick, then you have to ask for sugar, literally they give you one of those things at a time. I think putting a sleeve on a very hot cup of coffee should be standard practice.

My first time at this one. As Sbux goes, I liked it a lot. It's big, has a nice patio in back, didn't overdo the AC like they so often do, has compostable cups, which I haven't seen elsewhere (yet?).

Friendly staff working hard to keep up with the large volume of orders, especially early in the morning. I am a Starbucks fan, because I know what I’m getting, its quality and the taste.

Took 20 minutes to get a latte. And the batista could have cared less. This is where a hally additude could have made all the difference. Granted, they only had one machine that made the lattes.

Today was the first time that I really seen how some people really stereo type. I am Mexican and Hungarian. I look both but just cause I have tattoos and am from LA I asked for a cup of ice and when she gave it to be she practically threw it at me. But I bet if she knew indoor dashed she would have not been so rude.

I came for a cup of coffee. It took 20minutes. 20minutes!!!!! Maybe I should have ordered a white chocolate mocha with almond milk, a pinch of paprika and blessed by 4 leprechauns, and I would have gotten it faster. After 15 minutes I asked for an update and a helpful employee asked and saw a very unhappy person making my drink. So, I watched her add each sugar packet individually and then my cup sat there waiting for another 5 minutes. Finally, I got my coffee, but the unhappy barista didn’t even acknowledge it took 1/3 of an hour to make my cup of coffee and barely was audibly registered as she said my name. Seriously, I make a lot of reviews and have like 46million views of my pics and this is the absolute worst service I have ever received at a Starbucks and I have been to a lot of Starbucks!!!! Now, I am late to my meetings and my day starts off crappy and even more stressful than it already was. Thanks unhappy Starbucks barista. Your negativity has spread to at least one patron who will not return to this location. ?
