In the fluorescent-lit jungles of capitalism, where the smell of burnt beans collides with the desperate cry for caffeine, lies a Starbucks, a veritable carnival of misguided indulgence. Here, a simple cup of coffee has been lavishly morphed into a sugary behemoth, a fever dream cloaked in a veneer of sophistication, lurking behind a counter staffed by overzealous, branded automatons.
Let’s talk about the coffee, or whatever it is they’re peddling. This isn’t just coffee; it’s a chaos of sugar that could put a toddler on a sugar high into overdrive. You order what you think is a simple americano, and they regale you with tales of complex flavor profiles and artisanal blends. What you get, however, is a cup of syrupy sweetness that could only be appreciated by those detached from reality, those who find joy in drowning their senses in a saccharine abyss.
Now onto the prices...I venture to say one could buy a decent bottle of whiskey for the cost of a grande caramel macchiato, a liquid confection that begs the question: why bother with the coffee at all? In this warped universe, it seems the only currency that matters is your willingness to part with your hard-earned cash for what amounts to a liquid dessert, leaving you clutching your stomach in remorse.
Then there’s the menu... It’s an indecipherable labyrinth of options, more convoluted than a Kafka novel. Do you want your espresso shaken, stirred, or involved in some existential crisis? Should you choose oat milk, almond milk, or perhaps a fifth-quarter combination of both? And if you accidentally ask for “regular coffee,” be prepared for a patronizing glance that suggests you’ve just asked them to decode the mysteries of the universe.
Behind the counter, the staff, those strikingly branded avatars of capitalism, wear their aprons like badges of honor, feigning enthusiasm as they take your order. Each one trained to puzzle you with their knowledge of the latest seasonal drinks and obscure coffee origins, they are both entertainers and prison wardens of this caffeine-infused circus.
In the end, to step into a Starbucks is to enter a hall of mirrors reflecting the absurdities of modern consumerism. You can either drown in the syrupy depths of overpriced beverages or cling to your sanity, vowing to seek solace in the humble, unadulterated cup of joe served by a local haunt that respects your taste buds without trying to extort your wallet. Either way, you walk out confused, unsatisfied and clutching a cup of overpriced syrup, like a trophy of chaos, wrestling with the gnawing truth that this wild ride of indulgence has left regret tangled in your veins.

I was there, it must have been between rushes because there were two barista's cleaning. I have been going to Starbucks for years and was going to cash out my stars for my free medium drink. I was informed that they no longer take stars, even though it was done just the day beforehand. I talked with management and they said this was incorrect. Snooty poor service, I do not suggest going unless someone who know what they are doing is working. I will go 30 minutes out of my way to a Starbucks the next town over before coming back to these rude people. If I could give service negative stars I would.

I’ve had issues with this Starbucks before but recently one of the girls with darker hair and glasses has has a really poor attitude. Last time we came in she was very loudly complaining about doing other people’s jobs and today just tried going in to see if they were open and didn’t even look at me just walked by and said “I’m sorry we’re closed” in a very monotone voice. I understand if you’re having a bad day and I know what it’s like to be burnt out but don’t let the customers hear you and at least acknowledge their existence. I’ve always been very nice and patient with them, but the attitude needs to stop.

This is the typical grocery store Starbucks. The menu has limited drinks. But you can ask drink by drink to see what they can or cannot make. Each drink was made one at a time and can take time if there are people asking what drinks are available.
They made my drink as expected.
I would not like to sit and drink here.

Everytime I go here they find new ways to mess up my drink order and never fix it. It's ridiculous I have to drive to Fernley to get something from starbucks! Can we get a actual starbucks out here with EXPERIENCED employees??

I wish I would have gotten names but alas I forgot. Today 8/24 between 330 and 4 pm I stopped in and I knew it would be busy but I have to say that both baristas were great. I got my first apple drink of the season and it was even better than last year. Just wanted to give some credit because my drink was perfect.

Ordered a special drink, as I'm ordering, the gal behind cashier rolls her eyes..as I caught that, she then smiles at me. I've never had issues of any kind in Fallon until now. Customer service needs to step it up and slap a happy face like you LOVE your job. Your the face of the business. I was extremely polite considering. Just step up it up girls. ?

I love starbucks. Not only is the coffee phenomenal and the food very enjoyable but the batista are always welcoming and happy.
