“Starbucks, Starbucks, Starbucks. Where do I begin? The addiction started whilst I was still but a tyke. I’d inhale the subtle nuttiness of the roast on my breath, and the sweet oiliness of the arabica beans wafting from my bottle. Fast-forward into adulthood, May 25th of the year 2026 to be precise, and I arrived at this location. Everything, all the hardships, all the torture, all the pain of this short journey we call life led me to this moment. A moment dripping in anticipation and a haunting feeling of trepidation. I approached the counter and Leroy greeted me with so much friendliness that it tore down my defenses and allowed me to come out of my shell. I ordered a Tall Pike Roast. Leroy asked, “Do you want any dairy?” I slowly looked up and locked eyes with him. I responded, tears welling up in my eyes “I’ve been waiting 43 long years for someone to ask me that.” We cried and embraced in a union of mutual longing. He poured me a mega pint of half and half and we laughed and poured out our souls until twilight arrived. And just like that, after having exchanged phone numbers and with a renewed lust for life I exited the building. Soon after leaving I was mowed down by a rogue 18-Wheeler. Let this be a lesson to all. Don’t take life for granted, grab it by the metaphorical horns and don’t let go. Thank you Starbucks!“
“Inside Target off I-93 in AndoverI'm not a starbucks type of person. Coffee gets cold and you either warm it up or toss it. I was in target (not that type of person either) for some tylenol and wanted a coffee too. I went to the counter and checked the menu- I have no idea what any of the coffee jargon means. I gave up and looked at the very sweet and fresh faced smiling young lady and told her so. I nearly tried to play sherades to describe a regular coffee. This is the Starbucks in Target beside I-93S Andover Ma. I tried to tip her quick and thoughtful work, but she tipped her head up with a Big smile and said "we don't accept tips". Bless her massive heart. Very very pretty smile too.She didn't talk a lot, just Gladly hopped straight to work.Thank you very much, Lady.“
“I usually don’t write reviews, but this is hands down the best Starbucks I’ve ever gone to. They’re fast, efficient, and have an extremely friendly and personable staff! I work in the area so I come here regularly and I haven’t been let down yet. They even brighten your day a little more by writing messages or leaving seasonal stickers on the cups! I would give more than 5 stars if I could!“
