“excellent selection of donuts. fantastic customer service as the workers are always in a super positive mood. my only complaint would be that they don't have the hot coffee ready when I do go there. I get it that they probably don't sell that much of it so I kinda get why it's not made.“

“I walked into the familiar hum of Starbucks, the scent of roasted coffee beans mingling with the faint chatter of patrons. It was my usual pit stop before heading to work, and I was craving my go-to order: a caramel macchiato with an extra shot of espresso. After placing my order, I stood by the counter, checking emails and mentally preparing for the day ahead.

Moments later, a barista called my name. I stepped forward, took the cup with my name scribbled on it, and took a sip. Instantly, I realized something was off. Instead of the rich, velvety caramel macchiato, my taste buds were met with the unfamiliar bitterness of a plain black coffee. I glanced at the cup—sure enough, it was my name, but not my order.

"Excuse me," I said, approaching the counter. "I think there's been a mistake. This isn't what I ordered."

The barista, looking harried, apologized and said they would remake it, but there was a long line of orders ahead. I sighed, accepting that I would have to wait, my morning schedule already feeling the pinch.

Just then, a girl standing next to me, who I hadn't noticed in my distracted state, turned and smiled. "Hey, I couldn't help but overhear. What was your order supposed to be?"

"Caramel macchiato with an extra shot," I replied, a hint of frustration in my voice.

Her eyes sparkled with understanding. "I can help with that. My name's Taylor, by the way. I actually work here part-time, but today I'm just grabbing a drink before class." She slid behind the counter with ease, her movements confident and fluid.

I watched as Taylor swiftly gathered the ingredients. She moved with the precision of someone who knew the rhythm of the place, despite not being on duty. In no time, she handed me a new cup, steam curling from the opening.

"Here you go," she said, her smile warm and reassuring. "One caramel macchiato with an extra shot, just the way you like it."

I took a cautious sip. The flavors were perfect—the rich espresso balanced by the sweet caramel, just as it should be. I looked at Taylor, gratitude flooding through me. "Thank you so much. You really saved my morning."

She laughed softly, a sound like a melody. "No problem at all. I'm glad I could help. Enjoy your drink, and have a great day."

As she turned to leave, I felt a sense of appreciation not just for the perfect drink, but for the unexpected kindness of a stranger named Taylor. In that moment, the day seemed a little brighter, the world a little kinder. And as I walked out of Starbucks, I couldn't help but think that sometimes, the best moments come from the most unexpected places.“
