| - If you're coming to Starbucks, you know what you are getting yourself into - a Seattle style coffee house with all the bells and whistles. No - this isn't On the Rise Bakery, but it is by far my favorite place - and this place is great!
As a 3rd year gold member (going on 4th pretty soon), Starbucks is my regular. The thing is though, I don't get their coffee very often because my drink is so expensive. I can't have milk, so I have to opt for Almond Milk which is an up-charge. I usually save my coffee drinks for when I really need coffee or if I have a free drink from getting 125 stars ($1= 2 stars).
Speaking of their rewards program, it is pretty decent. Like I said, ever $1 you spend, you get 2 stars, and every 125 stars, you get a free drink reward. There are also double star days once a month (those are at random) and there are also weekly rewards for getting a certain number of drinks in a week (for example, receive 75 bonus stars for buying a shaken iced tea, latte, and protein box). Oh! And you can also get free refills of coffee or tea if you're a gold member; otherwise it is $0.50.
Menu is pretty much your basic coffee menu - they are known for their pumpkin spice latte (which I hate to say it, I get every year) but they have a lot of fun things as well. My favorite unique drink that they have are their refreshers. They extract the caffeine from a green coffee bean (just means it's not roasted) and put it into this fruity drink that tastes delicious on a cold summer day. 5/5 would recommend.
Okay, enough about what Starbucks is -- this particular location is all about the staff that works there. They are by far the nicest people ever. I go to Starbucks all day and study, and I always get a small tea and have them refill it. I always say "whatever you want" and they always make the most awesome creations with tea. But most of all, everybody there works with a smile on their face. I have never been to a Starbucks that has that vibe - most of the time it's get in and get out, but here it's a very personable staff and they know what they are doing.
The drive through is also amazing but it's a hit or miss on how slow it is. I get people want fast service, but don't go to Starbucks if you want fast service; that isn't their business model. They do have an option that you can order ahead on their app, and more times than not, that is what I do.
I never thought I would do such an extensive review of Starbucks, but like I said, this one is a really good location, which is why it's sometimes busy. Everytime I go there, I am usually able to find a seat or table to study at, but again I go during the evening time when most people don't think about going to Starbucks.
Great location!
