About Starbucks

Starbucks Coffee Company is a location with its own quirks. The service is generally good, and the baristas are often described as awesome, kind, super friendly, very easy to talk to, and welcoming. While most staff do not interact much with customers, there is usually at least one person who offers a greeting. The environment is super chill and welcoming. The store is usually clean, and the bathrooms are also clean. A small bookshelf allows customers to take or leave a book, which is a thoughtful touch.

This store is not corporate owned, which means Starbucks promotional codes cannot be used and participation in certain campaigns, such as the free red cup event, is not available. However, codes can still be used when ordering directly through the app. The location is cashless, only accepting card payments. PayPal is not taken directly, but money loaded onto a Starbucks card through the app is accepted. Staff have been noted for helpful gestures, such as making a drink even when an order was accidentally placed for the wrong location, and chasing a customer down to return a forgotten food item. Drinks not picked up within 15 minutes are thrown away.

Parking can be tricky. There are a few free spots directly in front of the store for 15 minutes, with one spot reserved for first responders. The rest of the parking is not free; university parking staff check often and issue tickets. An app is available for paid parking.
