Comment: Since my usual coffee shop closed down I was forced to go to this Starbucks. Actually pleasantly surprised. Not crowded and the ladies working there were very nice. Most importantly they got my drink right! Good job, Starbucks.

Comment: Crowded, but the drinks are fine. Unfortunately, service takes way too long, and the names are always wrong. Its as if they do it on purpose. Its not necessarily a big deal, but its kind of annoying to me.

Comment: One of the guys working there was an absolute loon as he was singing and dancing, I could tell the other barista was not having it. The good barista told me to go to the other counter, because I had a pick up order, and when I went to that counter, this lunatic told me to go back to the counter I was just at, even though my order was right behind him. So the good barista had to walk over to where he was just at and grab my order as he continued to dance. Get this man fired.

Comment: The pandemic changed everything. There used to be seating and was a popular hangout, meaning that the Batista had to engage in the public. Now it feels like being served by a Cylon. I havent been inside for quite awhile.

Comment: The service has taken a nosedive. In an effort, I assume, to prevent folks from stealing drinks and food off the counter, they’ve stopped calling out names once the orders are ready. But how do you know your order is ready? You have to ask the espresso bar apparently. But there are lots of folks just standing around waiting, and nothing happening, and plenty of orders ready.The espresso bar is swamped with work. Hardly looks up from what they’re doing. Every once in a while they will look up and be able to get one or two orders to the customer but then go back to work.One customer went to the ordering counter instead and asked for her order. “I don’t know you’ll have to ask the espresso bar” and when she persisted, he said, “well okay I’ll do it this once but next time ask the espresso bar.” And then, when the ordering line has died down, proceeds to not help out expediting orders. Just whistles and moves some inventory around.I get it, there are some shady people around here stealing food. But staff up, or get everyone to help out, or change the system. Please lose the condescension—you’re the ones changing the ordering flow and not announcing it via signage or telling customers. How are we to know what to do? We can’t read your minds.

I even tipped that time so I was expecting good service??? And for the bose I asked politely for the oat milk to be shaken with the espresso shots and the girl rolled her eyes 😭The people working there are not friendly lol

Comment: I visit this Starbucks at least once a week, and theres not much I can fault it for. The employees are nice, the location is fine, and the drinks are just like every other Starbucks in America. If youre looking for fine dining, you probably wont find it here, but its perfectly acceptable as far as Starbucks locations go.

Manager here is great as well and will open the door when I exit when I have a large order. Staff also sets expectations for wait times when they are very busy. I hope all Starbucks can be run like this as we hopefully get back to normal.

Comment: The worst Starbucks I have ever been, I ordered a dark roasted coffee it tasted like warm water. And while I was adding cream and sugar to my coffee a man just pushed me out of the way to digs into the trash can to get a left over drink from another customer and took the cream from the counter to add into his dirty cup from the trash. Will not be back.

I grabbed my drinks and went to my conference. BOTH drinks were undrinkable. My Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold brew was not sweet. Completely bitter. Husbands drinks was gross. He wanted extra cream and 4 splendas in his trenta iced coffee . No sweetner. Lables read correctly on the cups. Since Im at a conference, I can not return and get them remade. Ive never had such poor drinks from a Starbucks.

Comment: This is by far the worst Starbucks Ive ever been in. Nothing but hard wooden chairs, no creature comforts, noisy. I hasten to add the staff are not responsible for this problem. On the contrary they do all they can to be welcoming and helpful. Its just there arent enough of them. Thats why tables are sticky, refuse takes a long time to clean up, etc. The very nice young guy who made my coffee also had to clean up. He and one other guy were the full complement in a peak hour. They did their best. Its a far cry from the Starbucks that has arm chairs and reading lights for its customers. I go there because I like their espresso. I could care less about flavoured lattes with or without all sorts of boutiquily-named additives topped with cholesterol nightmare. I just like the plain espresso. But they leave nowhere to enjoy it. At least in this version of Starbucks.

Comment: Not all Starbucks are equal - at this particular location, Ive found that they generally make good drinks but the customer service is lacking. We went there on a Saturday morning around 9am or so and it was busy but moving. There were five items total in my order and it took about 20 minutes to get them all. Customers that came in after us had their orders in full before we did so while those customers probably have no complaints about the timeliness of customer service, I would say that a little more organization is needed. I even asked about the items in my order to make sure it wasnt my mistake and that the barista had heard me correctly. She seemed annoyed and then after having waited all that time, they made the wrong drink anyway. Ive had consistently friendly customer service at just as busy times at other Starbucks in the area so Ill avoid this one next time.

Comment: I walked into this Starbuck this morning wanting to try their hot chocolate. Unfortunately, I spilled my drink on the floor... One of the associates made me another drink for free! I usually dont post reviews online but I wanted to show my appreciation. Thanks!

Comment: Yesterday I walked in and the only guy in front of me was discussing a problem with his mobile pay app with the counterperson. 2 other EEs were doing other things. At least twice, I watched the would-be customer wave his phone over the mobile scanner and the machine indicated he had no $$$ banked in the app. The manager spent 4 minutes telling the guy he had no $$ in the app. I suggested that he hand the mobile pay app customer off to another EE so I place my cash order. Blank stare from Starbucks EE. OK, so I walked out to another coffee shop down the street, where thankfully I was not behind another clueless mobile pay app customer.

Comment: Really nice staff. For the most part. The girl who works there almost every morning, was interrupted while taking an order because the new guy couldnt figure out what caramel meant. Then proceeded toGive her attitude about it for the next two minutes. When I told him he was making my drink wrong he started huffing and puffing and rolled his eyes then gave me a half ass basically watered down latte. This kid needs more training before you allow him to make drinks on the floor alone in the morning during the busiest time. I would probably have the same reaction to people as him however this is why I dont work at a Starbucks. If you cant handle it find another job.

Comment: Service is always good. Barista made drinks are always spot on. But, minus 1 star- they have wireless charging but no way to charge your phone since they arent allowed to buy the charging rings to connect. Corporate should have at least thought that through and have outlets available or that work at the very least.

Comment: The worst SB Ive ever been to. Staff was unfriendly, didnt even bother to greet me. Restroom was broken and unusable. My drink wasnt finished for 30 minutes while there were only 4 people waiting for theirs. I watched 2 others come in get their drinks before mine while I was waiting. I ordered a plain grande carmel macchiato, nothing crazy. Possibly the worst coffee shop experience Ive ever had. Do not go here.

Comment: Rude male server. I say hello, Im ignored. Ok, he had a bad day. I ordered coffee, asked room for milk and not a word. And I get a full cup. Yes, he heard me because when I spoke he just looked at me and it was past noon so the store was quiet enough. Im also assuming he knows English because he is white.

Comment: Clearly not one if the better run Starbucks. Ive only had three experiences here so far (many alternative coffee options in the area) but I wanted to go a third time before leaving a review. The biggest problem is the lack of organization. You have a long line of folks in the morning and they dont take names. So you have a bunch of people clustered around the counter waiting for their stuff and they have no idea whos is what.For example they had two of the same breakfast items come up at the same time with no real description (besides the name) and one guy is standing there. He looks at both, seems confused, and then has to flag the food preparer down and ask which is his. Turns out neither of them are his, but there is no way to know that because this place doesnt give you a clue.Im okay because you dont often hear of a triple shot cappuccino, but last time I was here I forgot to ask for the extra shot and I almost grabbed someone elses drink. What a mess.As for the coffee itself, I would hardly call what I got a cappuccino. It feels like a late, the head of foam was weak and minuscule compared to the huge volume of milk. Just because its a medium cup doesnt mean you should fill it to the brim, you should make it properly. If I wanted a latte I would have ordered one. I would have asked for a replacement but didnt want to deal with the crowd.This place doesnt compare at all to the ones Ive been to in SF near the Orpheum (smaller but more effective) or San Ramon (more attentive staff).

Comment: Cons-Bathroom was dirty but not as horrible as it could have been given all the local homeless people that need to use it.Pros- Customer service was very nice, morning are better when someone says Good morning with a big smile on their face. Makes you smile when your leaving to continue on with your day.
