Starbucks in Blacksburg

“More and more often there's service issues here. Today there was no ordering ahead with the app then with only one vehicle ahead of me to order at the drive through it took 18 minutes to get through. They were out of most breakfast items but I couldn't find out until in line. Started going to other vendors and other less convenient locations“

“I’m on the road a lot for one of my jobs (the other is local here on campus) And honestly, out of all the Starbucks within the tri-state area, this is one of my absolute favorites (next to the lee hwy in Radford location which is my all time favorite). The kids are amazing in every way; and they’re one of the only ones that ever tend to make my usual perfectly, I almost never have to alter it.Both locations are definitely worth the drive. I greatly appreciate them and all that they do…….“

“I’d say about average for Starbucks I’ve been to (which is actually pretty good for the industry). Baristas are often quite backed up – they could probably use one or two more on shift at times. Often quite busy, other than the last hour or so of open time.
Honestly, they could use more space for sitting, but that’s not going to happen I would imagine, as there is really nowhere to expand to.
I’m actually not a coffee drinker, so I can’t speak to that. But I am a “tea guy“ and I am generally pleased with the strength and quality of tea I get (Black teas). Also like that they have heavy cream available (not just half-and-half), and that you get free refills as a rewards member.
Sadly, being a college town, it’s amazing that Starbucks is actually one of the less expensive coffee shops around here.

Dietary restrictions: Quite a few dairy free options for drinks, quite a few egg free (although no “fake egg“ items). Haven’t seen any gluten-free bakery items.

Parking: Not worth paying to park to go to a Starbucks – very little bit of street parking available, and the parking garage will give you half hour free, but the vast majority of people going to this Starbucks or on foot or bike.

Kid-friendliness: Haven’t actually brought, or even seen any, kids there yet, but they would be no problem, I’d say.

Wheelchair accessibility: Quite tight. Could work.“
