“Ariel was so friendly and personable. 5 stars.In a world where it seems like employees at chains could care less, Ariel greeted me with a smile and asked how my holiday was. Later, as I worked from a table, I saw some kids come in, acting a little obnoxious and asking for water (without buying anything). She was so patient, and treated them with kindness, not lecturing them about having to buy something to get a cup of water, but treated them like 10 or 12 year olds who were just out having fun and not really understanding how business works.Good on Ariel and good on this Starbucks for hiring her. The world needs more people like this, and corporate chains need to do whatever it takes to single out these type of people and make sure they have jobs (and make sure they are promoted).Great experience, and brightened my day!“

“Son and I love this place! There is no better Customer Service than this place! Rudy is the friendliest and most helpful gentleman you'll ever meet. We met Talia yesterday and her Service and smile was very welcoming. 😊 My son works nights and he loves the sandwiches, especially the new B.E.C. I jump on the hash with a couple over easy. The fruit juices and the million dollar bacon are rewards 😋 Thank you and see you next time! Sean Mulhall 😎“

“Bean Counter Café is an absolute gem! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Their pastries are hands-down the best I’ve ever had—each bite is pure perfection. The staff and owner are incredibly welcoming and friendly, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere every time I visit. My personal favorites are the ham and Jarlsberg quiche, which is rich and savory, and the Bavarian chocolate croissant, which is flaky, decadent, and absolutely unforgettable. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or just a sweet treat, Bean Counter Café never disappoints!“
