I recently had an absolutely wonderful experience thanks to the barista, Alexis, at this Starbucks location. With my kids constantly changing their minds, ordering can be chaotic, but Alexis was incredibly friendly and patient, never once rushing me. That level of calm and kindness made our visit totally stress-free.
What truly sets Alexis apart, though, is her amazing attention to detail. While I was waiting, I watched her interact with other customers, and she provided fantastic service for everyone. Best of all, she caught an error on my own order: she noticed I didn't get the foam on my protein drink and immediately made sure it was added. She then double-checked that I had every item in my bag before handing it over.
Alexis embodies everything I remember and love about Starbucks baristas. The coffee tasted like it was genuinely made with love, and the service was the best I've had anywhere. We love Starbucks, and employees like Alexis (and the fun messages on the cups!) are exactly why we keep coming back. Thank you, Alexis, for making our morning!“
“Okay, this is probably my favorite Starbucks ever, no exaggeration! The GM is so kind and recognizes me everytime we come. And all the staff has wonderful costumer service making all their costumers feel so welcomed and valued !! They bring people of merrillville and the surrounding areas together in a way I haven’t seen before !! Truly a treasured Starbucks location that loves their community !!! 🩷🩷
