Starbucks

I loved the layout of this Starbucks. I’m a 7 year partner and I really enjoyed walking in and seeing the full length of the store had seating. My husband and I just went through 12 hrs of air travel from our home in Maui where we’ve embraced those suffering from the devastations of the fires and an hour of travel by car with no AC with his service dog. She knows when her harness/vest is on that she has purpose, and when we take it off she can loosen up and be a dog. Since we rode for an hour with no AC in this august heat we took her harness off before going inside so she could cool off and get some ice water. She got pets from our family who picked us up from the airport after not seeing them for a year so they got to have a special moment to reunite with her too. One of the baristas rushed over to us asking “is that a service dog or JUST YOUR PET” and as soon as I told her that she was a service animal and we left her harness in the car since it was hot, she stared at her fur on the ground and stormed away without saying a word. I made sure to wipe up the fur with some damp napkins and as we walked out there was a huge sign out front saying “you don’t know what people are going through, spread kindness.” Just thought this post would bring this back to the baristas attention that it goes both ways for customers and partners.

Incredible service and refresher made on point. My favorite to go drink at Starbucks is the Mango Dragon Fruit Refresher. Sweetness: 10/10 I like to add a bottle of water to it after I finish the drink for flavored water throughout the day. Thank you to Juan Paul at the drive through. He was extremely helpful and gave great service.
