Starbucks

Stopped in for quick cup of coffee before my doctor's appointment. Normally I keep it simple with an Americano and a couple of shots of came sweetener, but thought I'd use some soon to expire points and upgrade to their premium Reserve Jamaican beans. Should have stayed with my usual, while the Jamaican was hot and it hit the spot as the first cup of coffee of the day, it certainly wasn't worth nearly $8 for a tall (small) drink. Bottom line, nice location for the neighborhood, one of Starbucks smaller shops, close to Good Samaritan hospital and the many medical professional businesses to support it. Clean and friendly staff and well stocked with many coffee bean choices and breakfast sandwiches and other coffee related food items. For me, next time I'll get my usual.

While I am not a fan of Starbucks overall, I appreciate this location. It is super comfortable and the staff are very friendly. This location feels like one of the original Starbucks locations before they went over-the-top and turned themselves into a corporate machine and lost touch with their consumers.

Starting visiting this location semi-regularly when I began the transplant process almost 3 years ago. Really comforting to still see familiar and friendly people amongst the newer employees. This store does everything right. When I worked for "Uncle Howie" years and years ago the preeminent rule for employees especially at my home store, was to give the "5 Star Customer Service Experience". Yeah I know, just more corporate nonsensical jargon but TRUST ME, my location, among others, took that rule very seriously. I tell you all that just to say..... THIS location embodies that exact same spirit, hard work ethic and customer service skills that ANY employer would be proud to have and show off. It is appreciated
