Starbucks in Colorado Springs

“Shelby working the drive-thru is fantastic!! Always kind and willing to not only do her job but carry a conversation while we wait. The quality is also consistent at this location, overall worth driving an extra 2 minutes to this particular location.“

“2/16/26: I went to the Starbucks inside Target and the lady there this morning was killing it. She was flying solo this morning and had a line of customers. She didnt let line get to her though. She was taking orders, running the register, and knocking out drinks. Hope she doesnt get burned out. Great job.“

“Every day before sunrise, my friend and I stop here to start our day with a cup of coffee, and it has become a routine we genuinely look forward to. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming in the early hours, which makes it the perfect place to ease into the day.

The staff is consistently friendly, upbeat, and efficient—always greeting us with a smile and remembering our usual orders. Even during busy mornings, everything runs smoothly and the service never feels rushed.

The coffee is reliably good, just the way you expect it to be, and it’s the consistency that really stands out. It’s more than just a coffee stop at this point—it’s a daily reset.

Great service, positive energy, and a solid way to start the day. Highly recommend.“

“It was good. A little slow considering they weren't busy. As a coffee place with a drive through they should maybe take some notes from the Dutch Bros down the street, maybe that's why they're always busy and you're not.“

“This Starbucks location is always so friendly and personable. I really like how even when I order through the mobile app (99% of the time) and I rush in and out of there, the employees always always acknowledge customers with at least a greeting and/or a ‘thank you’. I sometimes go just a little further to order from here rather than my neighborhood location. Great job Starbucks at Shops at Briargate!👏🏼 Thanks for excellent, personable service!“

“This was my first time going to this new Starbucks location. I got a creme frappuccino for the first time. The drink was good however it did not come with a straw. Maybe it's not supposed come with a straw but it should. Overall this Starbucks location is five stars out of five stars.“

“Veronica is exceptional! I appreciate her patience and more importantly her honesty as I inquired about certain drinks. Ian was great as well. And the woman in drive thru also seemed to have a good attitude. They all worked very well as a team.

I’ve not been the most impressed with this location, but today they regained my trust and really impressed me!

The spicy falafel wrap is so flavorful and delicious.

Highly recommend and I’ll start to go here more often myself.

Thank you for the amazing service today! I look forward to experiencing more of that as well as the quality food and drinks!“

“I have recently moved to Colorado. And I am surprised to see that this Starbucks has received so many negative reviews. If you want to see unfriendly, stuck up snowflake baristas, I suggest you go to California. The crew that I observed at this location ALL we're hardworking and ALL we're friendly and customer focused.Coming from an era where you could go to a tabletop counter and order a nickel cup of coffee to seeing a cup of coffee be over $5 I think people need to get a perspective on what exactly the services that they are looking for.“

“Christina is my employee to give recognition today. She went above and beyond to make sure that my drink and my sandwich were the way I liked it and was kind while doing it. Come here! The four stars for atmosphere was just cause it's a supermarket store but everything else was great today.“

“Great Verona in a real cup! Hey, staying in to so on coffee ☕ is a great deal... Free refills! I got the grande soccer (because I like that size cup) $2.95 very cool 😎 hanging out here to do some business AND clean bathrooms!
Only drawback at this location, parking is minimal unless you park across the takeout lane.“

“The last two times I’ve been to this Starbucks (inside King Soopers) I’ve been lucky enough to have Larry wait on me and he truly makes this a wonderful Starbucks! I had to come write a review just because he is so cheerful and it makes my morning!“

“Normally I don't go to Starbucks anymore, but I was having a rough morning and running late. ALLISON did a great job of taking my order. Even when I messed it up by ordering the wrong thing, she gave the warmest smile. Great customer service.“

“Thank you so much for contributing to a generational blessing on Thanksgiving. My family was able to hand out snacks and Starbucks coffee to the homeless. It was so inspiring and I truly thank all of you for making it happen. ❣️❣️❣️“

“I usually don't care for Starbucks but my daughter really wanted to use her money and go there.We had the absolute best customer experience that we've had in just about any place of business in a very long time.The barista, Tim, was pleasant, happy, funny, and joyful. He gave each customer undivided attention, talked with them, and made the experience of buying a beverage feel like we were rock stars.I saw him with the people in line before us, as well as after us, and he treated customers of all ages and demographics the same as equally important and valued.Any business, who is fortunate to have employees like Tim represent them are providing customers a fantastic experience who will come back time and time again!My 14 year Old and I talked about what a treat it was to be around someone who spreads joy and lights up the world. Thank you Tim for providing an exceptional customer experience and brighten our day.? your enthusiasm and energy for life are contagious!“

“I ordered the eggnog latte with an extra shot of espresso and I could not really taste the eggnog flavor, so that was disappointing. The food that I ordered for my kids and myself was good (a sausage, egg, and cheddar breakfast sandwich, coffee cake, and butter croissant).“

“This was by far the best Starbucks I’ve been to in a while. I asked if they could remake my drink iced and said I felt like a pain— they kindly remade it and even wrote “you’re not a pain” on my cup. Such a small gesture, but it made me smile and definitely makes this location stand out. Amazing customer service— I will definitely be back!!“

“I've been coming here since last year to study while I was finishing grad school and still stop in to work once or twice a week. There's plenty of other locations I could go to but I always drive a bit further for this location because the staff here is absolutely amazing“

“I don't usually go to Starbucks but love this location and it's team! Always respectful, kind, prompt and genuinely friendly and happy . They're always kind to my child and make her happy. It's a great team and location . Makes shopping easier especially when I need my caffeine. Thank you.“

“I am absolutely compelled to share my fantastic experience at the Starbucks located inside King Soopers on Uintah St. This location stands out in my mind due to the exceptional service, impeccable quality of drinks, and warm, welcoming atmosphere.The staff members are all incredibly friendly, but I would like to give a special shout-out to Anita and Shirley. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and positive attitudes made my visit a truly memorable one. Their passion for coffee is evident in every cup they craft, and their customer service skills are simply unparalleled.The female manager of this Starbucks deserves immense credit as well. She runs a tight ship, ensuring the store is always clean, the staff is always upbeat, and customers are promptly served. Her leadership style is evident in the well-coordinated teamwork and the smooth running of operations even during busy hours.The entire team at this Starbucks, under the guidance of their remarkable manager, makes every visit a pleasure. It's evident they take pride in their work, and it truly shows in the quality of service they provide. I can’t recommend this Starbucks inside King Soopers on Uintah St. enough. Kudos to the entire team and keep up the great work!“

“I don’t get to go to Starbucks as much as I would like due to my teaching schedule. This store that I’m present at (Cheyenne and Drive) is my absolutely favorite store in the city! Why? Number one reason is the baristas - always super nice and helpful even when I fumble on about my drink choices since I’m not here enough to really know what I want. 😀 The Starbucks store on the inside is spacious, clean, and there’s some comfy seats. I believe that it only takes a few minutes to give a complimentary review for a place that literally brings your drinks to where you’re sitting if you get busy with work etc. I’m a customer service training professor and I always love great service and a great atmosphere.I tell my college students that it’s not just what you serve - but how it’s served. ☕️😀

“Larissa and Jayla were truly amazing with me and my children. They were two minutes from closing and so extremely patient with me ordering want I wanted. The drink I ordered was made perfect and they did it just the way I asked and I was so appreciative of their time. Thank you for great service. It's hard to come by nowadays.“

“Amazing food, person taking orders, I think her name was Lily, was amazing, there was another person who put little stickers on my coffee cause I am on a bike, she was nice, overall 10/10 experience, def going back.

Edit: went back finally, 9/11/2025

Ashlyin? I think I spelt that right, she was wonderful, I had gotten a pink drink, and spilt it cause I’m on a bike, she remade it for me, made sure the lid was tight, and put a sticker on, for free! She was super kind, and welcoming, i also got lemon bread, still amazing, 10/10 experience, people at this starbucks know how to do customer service and relation building with their customers.“

“My mother is in hospice at a nearby facility, so I’ve been walking over for a coffee and to clear my head. Each time I’ve come, Spencer has been so kind and friendly and it has been a huge boost during an otherwise stressful time. Thanks so much. You’re just doing your job, but you’re doing it well and I wanted you to know how much the little stuff means.“

“I come here several times a week on my lunchbreak & i have always have a great experience. All the employees are super friendly and always greet me with a smile. Most of them even remember my name, which i think is super nice(: my order is always ready super fast and everything always tastes good.“

“I always prefer a Starbucks that is not a drive through as they are not as pressured so can provide better service to special orders. This Starbucks has provided our special order with more kindness and consistency than not only most others in Colorado Springs, but better than most in the 10 states we normally travel through each year. They are very kind and service oriented and really know how to make the expresso taste smooth and not bitter. I hope this Starbucks is never turned into a drive through! Joel on the weekends is one of the awesome staff but the whole staff is awesome!“

“I love this Safeway because the workers are the nicest, but some of the Starbucks employees are kind of rude and snippy. One time I asked for an iced venti matcha and I could see the iced venti cups through the glass and the worker told me the couldn't do that size iced, mind you i buy this every time i go there, so I got a hot coffee but also there is this one girl who is super sweet and works two jobs there and she is always the nicest to order from.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible because it's a one floor stoor. Low counters.“

“I'm not fond of a Starbucks in a hotel. Mostly because they have their own set of rules when it comes to use your Starbucks card, it redeem (free) drinks.

This Starbucks was very nice. Very friendly staff and the orders were quick and correct“

“Every starbucks is the same in my opinion. Customer service is always good and overpriced drinks taste amazing. I tried the iced shaken espresso with a shot of caramel, not bad if you need to wake up. I also got the strawberry refresher with no water and no ice. Apparently they are jumping on the (no ice means pay more $) bandwagon, which I am not happy about. The drink is mostly Ice and water. They will continue in the mean time to let customers buy the refresher with no water at least. Depending on the size you get, you can make several drinks by adding your own water.“

“My husband and I are just in town for the weekend, and this Starbucks is within walking distance from our lodge. I am very happy to have taken the time to go into Safeway to visit this location. Our barista's name was Mary, and she was AMAZING! If Mary's hospitality and service were at every location, I'd never want to leave. Thank you so much Mary you will be missed back in Illinois 💜“

“I frequent many Starbucks locations,. Recently I spent several hours in this location and observed outstanding service repeatedly. Not only were customers greeted warmly, but in many cases their orders were delivered to their tables! This is rare at Starbucks! It is always a pleasure to come to this one!“

“My vehicle had broken down and I was unable to stay parked at the establishment near by; so my friend asked Starbucks if we could park there and wait for our tow and they were happy to oblige. Unfortunately my tow was very delayed, and I was stuck there with a dead phone and very little money. When I went to purchase something so I could sit in the ac and charge my phone, the staff smiled and said "you don't have to buy something to hangout. Would you like an ice water?" When I thanked them and said not everyone treated me like that; I was given another smile and told " you're a person, youre allowed to exist".
I will give any and all business I have to this Starbucks, they really take care of their community. That being said I have seen more donations at food banks from Starbucks than most any other vendor who donates. Thank you to the staff there who nearly made me cry just by making me feel human in a frustrating time.“

“I just had the worst experience at a Starbucks on marksheffel so I remembered how good this Starbucks is and wanted to make sure they know it. We are grateful for y'all! You must have great management who hires a great team. You guys have never gotten my order wrong and my coffee always tastes amazing. It's actually worth going out of the way to your Starbucks just to get the right coffee. People are serious about their exact coffee! And I thank you for making it to the T 🙏🏻“

“I had an issue with understanding the pricing of my order, however Collin was very patient helping me to understand some minor details. He went above and beyond to make sure I left satisfied and deserves a raise! We need more customer service like this young man! Thanks Collin!“

“Pretty standard Starbucks cafe — coffee and espresso drinks are consistent with what you'd get at any other cafe. They make a great caramel macchiato. Their mobile app makes ordering and paying super easy. Staff friendly and helpful.“

“This is my regular place I go. I love it. Your people are really nice and kind and joke with me and treat me like a person. I think I’ve actually become friends with some of them and they know my order off my heart which is pretty impressive. Would recommend this place to anybody“

“This Starbucks is not really in that place/location. But I really love Starbucks. I love the marshmallow bars they make, their frapachone, and the hot chocolate. If they had Starbucks in this location then I would say they have good service, and nice staff. They have a clean bathroom too! I want to ask if you like Starbucks? Thank you“

“Yes, there are Starbucks locations all over the Springs, but this one is the best of the best. It is bright and clean, the staff is friendly and welcoming and I never have to wait very long for my java. Specifically would like to shout out Matt, he is a sweetheart!“

“Stopped by for my B-day drink after a long full day and was grateful for a tasty treat, but even more so for the lovely folks working there. They added a nice little note on the cup and were super pleasant and friendly! Thanks to the evening crew on Jan 18!“

“This is my favorite Starbucks location in Colorado Springs! The people are always so friendly and they’ve never messed up my order. One of my most memorable experiences was when I got 2 drinks while I was with my dogs and I spilled one of them on the ground when my dogs pulled me. I went back to Starbucks to get another but they remembered I was already there and when I told them what happened, they gave me another drink for free. Highly recommend this location!“

“I come here weekly since I work nearby and always have a good experience. Just wanted to leave a review today about the young barista guy with white hair. It was pouring rain and I couldn't find any umbrellas for sale in Target, so he gave me a piece of cardboard to use as an umbrella so I could run back to work ? thank you!“

“After shopping in Target, I became parched and decided to get a drink at the Starbucks inside Target. There was a line due to only having 2 people working, so one is taking orders, and one is making drinks. The convenience is the reason I stopped.My favorite drink is the mango dragon fruit refresher, so sweet and hydrating. I get it made with water, not lemonade, because I like tasting the mango. There is some caffeine in the drink, so it also perks me up, but definitely not as much as their coffee drinks. The dragon fruit has no flavor, but I like the crunchy texture because it's freeze dried, and it is what makes the drink pink.Because it's inside Target, the seating area is small, and it's loud, so I wouldn't recommend working here, but if you need a pick me up before or after shopping, it's the perfect stop.“

“I have been to many locations in my day and this location I had doubts about. But let me tell you... I'm impressed by everyone working there. Sunday mid morning crew was fast efficient pleasant. Had about six ish ladies working and my food was good and my drink being a little "extra" was perfect. It shows great management which makes a great team. Keep it up Maya“

“This Starbucks is small but efficient. The employees are all very friendly. I have never experienced any issues with customer service or quality and have been coming here for over a year and a half.

Parking: The parking lot is a bit chaotic.“

“This location is so close to my place so it’s so nice that it’s so great! The food and drinks are always delicious. I usually go through the drive thru but it’s always a great experience. Staff is always nice and friendly! Definitely recommend!!“

“The service here is amazing! I was lucky to get Christian as my barista and he made sure to take full care of me. From recommending a different food when they didn’t have what I wanted to personally brining my drink and food to me. Once I finished my food he even brought me an ice water! I’ll definitely be back at this location because of how amazing the food and service is.“

“My husband and I visit this particular Starbucks daily.
We really appreciate the employees remembering us and knowing our order, it definitely makes it feel special to come. A few of our favorite employees are Maria, Javier, Trevor, and Will!“

“I was quickly in and out. Everything was pretty satisfactory.

Parking: It's a grocery store so you may not be able to park close to the door if you go during a busy time

Wheelchair accessibility: There is plenty of handicapped parking and the store is wheelchair accessible“

“Went to the Starbucks on North Nevada by Costco took care of me right away, very friendly, polite and got through relatively quickly. It's been awhile since I've been to Starbucks due to my money situation yet it was good to get back to Venti Caramel Frappuccino with four pumps of peppermint which I truly need to stay away from yet, have a nice day“

“I go to this location often and my service is always amazing! Raymond that works at this location I’d like to give him some recognition for always having a positive attitude and always being so kind he is a dedicated worker thanks for all you do!!!“
