Starbucks in Independence

“I love Stacey! She was the most helpful barista I have ever came into contact with. I had a free drink and with that you can spend up to ten dollars. I ordered something that cost about $6. She asked me if I wanted to add anything extra like an extra shot, or caramel drizzle, then she asked me if I wanted to go up a size or two. She was the best. She was trying to hook me up and gave so many different recommendations to both me and my boyfriend. Love her. I’ve never had an experience like that before!“

“The entire staff at this location is amazing, humble and kind! The new manager Joey is just a ray of sunshine! My daughter and I love coming here and it is so nice to be a regular at this store and having the awesome baristas greet you by your first name every time you walk in the door. They sure do treat you like family here. The drinks are great, but the staff and the experience make your day that much better. We always leave with a smile! Maximus, Lauren, Zo, Michelle, Emilia, Abby, Jocelyn, Joey and everyone on the morning or night crew goes above and beyond to make each coffee and experience the best it can be! Thank you for making each day a great day! Call it kindness in a cup!“

“I had to stop here to get a coffee drink for my wonderful girlfriend. This is the first day that I'm actually able to call her girlfriend because we just started dating. But she's beautiful! And she wanted a coffee for her lunch so I got her one.“

“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!“

“Jessie the manager at this location always goes above and beyond to take care of her customers with a smile on her face and always makes me and my buddy feel welcome. Ill never go to another coffee shop anywhere. For some reason her and her crew make my coffee exactly how I want it and never skip a beat and I cant get that at any other spot. She deserves a raise and a promotion. Hands down best experience Ive ever had. Thank u Jessie for your 5 star service. It doesn't go unnoticed. I hope this review gets noticed by your higher ups.“
