Starbucks in Alpharetta

“Store S8318-290726
I’ve been meaning to send this for some time. I want to recognize Kelly at the 11740 Haynes Bridge Rd store. I first met her before the store moved and was kind of a regular. Then Covid hit, the store moved, and I hadn’t visited for a couple of years. I went through the drive-thru one Friday and she recognized my voice and called me by name!
I’m not a regular now but every time I drive thru between 545-645 am and she’s there, she recognizes me. How does she do this? She is always super friendly and you can tell she loves her job. She’s a magical person. Thank you for the excellent customer service!

Another person I want to shout out is Shadrach at the same store. He’s an early bird too and is always friendly and kind. Thank you!

One last thing - this store makes the best vanilla sweet cream nitro cold brew! At my company we are celebrating customer service week so I wanted to show my appreciation for your employees. Have a great weekend!“

“This is my go to Starbuck in my area as it is the most consistent with good drinks and fast, yet great service! I get either iced/hot lattes and or coffees and they are usually always good. It is rare to get a bad drink at this location. Only issue I have is how expensive it can be, and I dislike getting charged for syrups in lattes but i know that is an issue within the company as a whole, not the employees.“

“The person working the drive thru at my recent visit to this branch was nothing but kind and patient. I was visiting via tourism at the time and never visited a Starbucks until quite recently. I am happy with the service they provided. I just wished I tipped!“

“He went through the drive-through and my husband, unfamiliar with Starbucks, asked for a French vanilla latte. They only have regular vanilla, but the barista was incredibly helpful and suggested a mix of hazelnut and vanilla. He really enjoyed it!“

“I would like to personally commend the staff on 12/1/2024 Sunday morning. While dining in before a road trip home, an irate-impatient customer started talking out loud harassing the employees. They were professional and proceeded their job functions while handling her with care- and not disrespecting her nor the customers waiting on their orders. Excellent Customer Service“

“I had such a great experience at this Starbucks! The drinks here taste way better than the ones at the Haynes Bridge Rd location. The staff is super friendly, and they always get my order just right. This is definitely my new favorite Starbucks spot!“

“This location of Starbucks is truly like no other. The experience feels very upscale and professional. The guy on register (dean) took my order today and was super charismatic and patient even with my complicated order. Will definitely choose this location again.“

“I love this Starbucks. They automatically make a large ice water and a pup cup with my order (you can't order them through app) and they know I always request to add them. It is amazing customer service that they know my order and also the add-on items I get regularly as well. They are always friendly and helpful.

Parking: They have plenty of parking in their lot or an extended lot in the shopping area.“

“Lauren is truly exceptional! While I wasn't a daily Starbucks visitor before, meeting Lauren transformed my experience. She is undoubtedly the nicest, friendliest, and most personable barista I've encountered. Now, I find myself visiting Starbucks daily, hoping to catch a glimpse of her vibrant personality. The managers are great too!“

“Found this inside Kroger. This one is one of the smallest Starbucks I visited. Snack and drink choices were also little less when compared to other joints.I had a brief wait as I entered. Batista was away on some house keeping tasks. Once she came it's quick and easy.Few seats are also available if you are looking to relax and enjoy your drink. I am giving a 4 rating because the cleanliness needs improvement. Not sure about footfalls, if good number they can add more options in snacks and drinks.“

“I ordered through my mobile phone and sent it to the wrong store and when I went to the right store to pick it up they were so kind. They said that it does happen and they made my order instead of sending me to the other store. I called the other store when I got home and explained it all and they canceled my order so thank you Starbucks because otherwise I would have been driving all around Alpharetta.“

“Great location, very good service with comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. The only odd thing here is the exit from this location. It’s a bit weird as it takes you around the store.

Ordered - Cinnamon Dolce Latte
Atmosphere/Ambience - Wonderful
Service - Great response times, very friendly, top notch“

“Google Review: A Lesson from Coffee Grounds

This is not a review about coffee. It's about coffee grounds—and what they taught me about leadership, communication, and teamwork.

Here’s my story: I needed coffee grounds for gardening. I visited over 10 Starbucks locations, and most of them told me they don’t save coffee grounds for customers. Only two stores said yes: this location and the Starbucks at Georgetown Shopping Center.

My experience at Starbucks Georgetown was, frankly, terrible. Eight out of ten times, they promised to save coffee grounds for me, only to later say, “I forgot” or “No one told me to do that.” The final straw was my interaction with the manager. After letting me wait at the counter for over 15 minutes, he finally emerged from the staff break room, visibly groggy, and told me not to come back for coffee grounds again.

In sharp contrast, this Starbucks location was a shining example of excellent leadership and teamwork. The staff communicated clearly and followed through on their promises. Each time I came in, they had the coffee grounds ready, and they did so with kindness and efficiency. It’s refreshing to see such smooth collaboration in action, and it made me appreciate how much effort goes into even the small things, like saving coffee grounds for a customer.

As a customer, you want a good team to make your coffee. A team that communicates, works together, and takes pride in what they do. This Starbucks didn’t just meet my needs—they exceeded them. They turned a simple request into a positive experience, and for that, I am grateful. Thank you for being a team I can rely on!“

“Went in today to look for the HK cups, there was ONLY 1 barista working. He was very overwhelmed, stressed and frustrated because he had about 4-5 people waiting. He was super kind to EVERYONE who he took orders from, he was very apologetic and very polite. Even though he was feeling all type of emotions he remained calm & professional. He deserves a raise!!!!! I didn’t get his name but I went in around 12pm he was working by himself, 100000/10 customer service!!! Please be patient with baristas they also deserve kindness and respect!!!!!“

“The place was nice. It is inside the kroger shopping center. We ordered coffee, cake pops,pumpkin muffin,hot chocolate, and the pink drink. The cashier started getting a lot of customers but still fulfilled our order in a timely manner. We were able to go shopping afterwards, so it was a nice convenience.

Kid-friendliness: Very nice for kids.“
