Don’t love this location. It’s not. Inviting inside and on a busy street corner. Bring back comfy chairs and warm wood furnishings, Starbucks ! And the pick up takes over this tiny location!

The staff here are always so friendly and nice! I just have to complain tho I’m sorry, I got a banana matcha protein foam or whatever and it was really bad. Y’all gotta blend the protein better. :( I had tons of powder chunks. Waste of 7 bucks.
A side note for Starbucks in general—the whey protein choice is terrible. It tastes like whey and fake vanilla. Not getting any of your protein foams. Yuck.

Paid for caramel crunch toppings on both of the drinks and got nothing, and they did not even let us know when they gave us the drinks. Did you pay attention to the order at all?
Friendly service!

There’s something quietly exceptional about this particular Starbucks. You walk in, and it doesn’t feel like just another pit stop for caffeine — it feels cared for. Crafted. There’s a precision and thoughtfulness here that elevates every drink they serve. Always consistent. Always beautifully balanced.
While the nearby location on Alton has that bustling, café-style energy — this one is the calm in the storm. Understated, yes — but quietly brilliant.
The staff? Absolutely delightful. Friendly, unflustered, and genuinely warm — the kind of team that remembers your order and greets you like a regular, even if you’re not. And it’s the little things that make the biggest impact: a cheerful quote scribbled on your cup, a sincere “have a great day” that doesn’t feel robotic, and a genuine appreciation for your presence.
I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s something special about this place. It’s more than just coffee — it’s comfort, community, and care in a cup.
Five stars. Deservedly so.

Perfect place for me to get an iced coffee with cream. Not going to lie I can get a much larger medium from Dunkin. But Starbucks is my second go to

I ordered on the app just prior to going in the drive thru for pick up. The employee said to pull forward and they "hope" they can get it done. I asked for a water as well if possible. When I got to the window they asked me to pull out of the drive thru and park to wait for my order. (No one else was in the drive thru). They brought my drink out and I kindly asked again for a water. She hesitated and was like well ... so I just said it's okay nevermind.
They make you feel like you have bothered them and/or done had something wrong.
I would never run my business as poorly as this store does.

After a few times at this location we decided to do a review. Each time…we ordered on line. We came in 10 mins before order was ready each time and name was NEVER called out. Which means not only were our coffees just warm but also meant that every customer had to handle all of the cups to find their name (disgusting). Although we ordered whipped cream on both coffees we only received it on one. Retraining of employees is suggested.
