Starbucks

Most recent in-store experience found a polite barista taking my order. There was a nice atmosphere in the store. The dining room was in order even though it was 5 pm. My recent drive-thru experience found a very cheerful person taking orders; the employee handing me my order checked to see if I wanted to use points. It's been so long since I've ordered without the app, it's nice to see they are still doing this. On a visit prior to COVID there was a new drink introduced that I had questions about, and a barista took the time to slow down and explain the drink and its preparation (much better info than simply saying "it's espresso with chocolate..." for example).  That was a terrific interaction (and one that prompted a kudos call to Starbucks Customer Service!). Only drawback to this location is parking.  Very few spaces, lines are faint, lot is tight, space is shared with a bank so spaces are unavailable, and there is an exit that makes pulling out challenging. You also must stay aware of drive thru traffic if you are pulling out of the lot.  Good thing you are here for caffeine--you need to be alert here!
