Starbucks in Meridian

“This is one of the busiest Starbucks I have been to. All the workers were great but for me the background noise here is less conducive to reading or having a quiet conversation with a friend. I was overstimulated here so if you tend to get that way too then be forewarned. If you thrive off that energy then you probably wouldn't notice.“

“I was at FedEx and needed a little pick me up. Starbucks is conveniently next door so of course I had to stop in for a caffeinated beverage. I made it in about an hour before closing. I would have hated to be that customer who came in right before they were shutting everything down.

It was an odd hour when I came in so the joint was quite empty. It was nice and quiet. The barista behind the counter heard me come in. I was greeted and they didn't even see me. Made my way to the counter. They were helping done folks in the drive thru. They acknowledged me and said they'd be with me shortly.

I got my drink ordered and chilled while they were working on it. It was nice sitting inside with it being so got outside. I got my usual today, a small iced americano with sugar free vanilla and room for cream.

My drink was smashed out pretty quickly. They put me half and half in a cute little cup on the side for me. I got to add the half and half myself which was nice. Sometimes they can add too much or not enough so to have the option to do it myself a awesome.

My drink was perfectly made. You can taste the espresso in it. It wasn't watered down. The addition of the half and half and syrup was nice. It was what I needed to keep me going this hot, late afternoon. The venue was chill and relaxing. It was nice to be able to catch my breath before I had to go onto my next task. I'm more of a local coffee joint kinda of girl but I'm happy I stopped in today for a drink.“

“The hostess was happy to greet me and everyone who came in to buy a coffee and/or pastry. I felt welcomed, which made my morning good

Parking: It is somewhat difficult to find parking because on weekdays there might be groups of people reading which I find very cozy. But the parking lot is free with a wheelchair accessible entrance“

“The Starbucks inside this Albertsons location on Cherry is phenomenal. The Manager Alley is so attentive and remembers my order every time, even when I change things up. She tells whoever she is working with how I like things and I really appreciate such excellent service. Morgan, one of the baristas makes my drinks perfectly every time. I look forward to seeing everyone in the mornings. I leave earlier than I need to for work, so that I have time to stop and go in to Starbucks. Its worth it to me, versus going to one with a drive through because they have shown they care. Thank you to all the staff in the Albertsons Starbucks!“

“Starbucks is a reliable go-to for consistent coffee and quick service. While it's not the most unique or artisan experience, you know exactly what you’re getting—solid drinks, seasonal favorites, and a comfortable place to sit or work. The mobile app makes ordering super convenient, and most locations have friendly staff and clean spaces. It’s a bit pricey compared to local shops, but the convenience and familiarity often make up for it. Great for busy mornings or a quick caffeine fix on the go.“

“This Starbucks location is my absolute favorite in the Treasure Valley. It is conveniently located, but beyond that, unlike other locations this location makes my nitro cold brews w/ vanilla sweet cream very consistently. At other locations, the drink tastes different almost every time. Here it tastes the same virtually every time I order it.Like many Starbucks their drive through and dine in is often extremely packed- yet these folks somehow never seem stressed. I think this is the friendliest Starbucks I have ever been to.They consistently welcome you when you walk in the door, call you by name if they know it, are friendly at the register, friendly at drink pickup, friendly over the intercom and window at the drive through- doesn't matter how busy it is.Random fact: one time I brought my son here and he threw up while eating at one of the tables. One of the busy workers baristas here immediately dropped what he was doing to help grab me some cleaning supplies. I didn't want him having to touch my kid's vomit, but he was happy to keep bring me towels and whatever I needed. Amazing service.“

“Amazing and beautiful people, absurdly kind and patient. One of the guys, I didn't get his name, was so kind he gave me a discount on my coffee when i was short money, i don't want him to get in any trouble, on the contrary! Such kindness deserves a raise or a healthy bonus! When I came in today, I wanted to try something new. I'm a regular so they see me quite often, but it took me awhile to decide what new drink I'd like to try. Despite being obviously shortstaffed, poor things I've been there, were so patient with me and offered suggestions! I ended up with one of their suggestions, but not after they offered a sample of it to see if I'd like it! I missed their names as well, but they were just so nice they deserve a raise or something! I love coming here before work, especially right before a hard shift, these guys are so wonderful, I hope they start taking tips from cards or get bigger tip jars because they deserve it!“

“I read the other reviews and don't understand why there are many mean ones D: this location is the best compared to anyone I've ever been to, staff is the sweetest and i go there purely to see them. I've been a regular at many places and different Starbucks locations and none of them even remembered my name but my girls here make me feel so welcomed and loved! But of course the drinks and food is delicious too :D will forever be my favorite and everyone who works here deserves the world as they are so sweet and hardworking ^_^ - Aurora <3“

“i come here all the time and the employees are usually nice and accommodating. in particular, Brandon, Aaron, and another friendly lady (i think her name is Debbie i might be wrong) are always so friendly and make my day better. even though our interactions are brief, i appreciate these kind amazing baristas!“

“Kass did an AMAZING job!! My dad has to limit his sugar intake, but misses his whipped cream. To get a similar experience he orders a modified cold foam (made with hwc and splenda), but it doesn't always turn out store to store. Kass was meticulous in making sure that the coffee was hot and the drink came out above and beyond his expectations! I'm so thankful this store has partners like Kass who are willing to go the extra mile. It truly shows!“

“I came to this starbucks while traveling through Idaho and stopping at Albertson's for provisions in Meridian. The girl at Starbucks (Gracie) made an AMAZING drink and was incredibly pleasant. It is a rarity for me to find a consistent experience from a third-party Starbucks but the barista here was incredibly professional. Gracie deserves a raise!“
