| - OK, since I'm the Duchess of this place (41 check-ins and counting...) I should probably write a review.
Yes, I have an addiction. It's brutal. However, I'm not looking to kick-it anytime soon, as my GOLD STARBUCKS CARD just arrived in the mail. Yes, that is how addicted I am! (yikes!)
You don't know about the GOLD card? If you have a gift card, you can reload it. When you use it, you gain "points" and then you get extras.
Once you reach the Gold level you get the following:
- A free beverage on your birthday
- Free beverage customization
- Free brewed coffee or tea refills with each visit
- Free tall beverage with whole bean purchase
- Free trial offers
- Free drink every 15 stars
- Personalized Offers and coupons
p.s. It's free to sign-up.
Back on this location:
This drive-thru is INSANE in the mornings (7:30am-9:00am) and insane, I mean about a 15 minute wait. Although, you will get the random day that you can zip right through. I blame the delays on people ordering the breakfast sandwiches. They are delicious; however, that is what makes it a 10-car backup (to McDonalds)!
But, I must admit I have NEVER been inside of this one! I have always done the drive-thru and the time limit doesn't ALWAYS bother me, because I can check emails, etc. while waiting. (haha!)
The Barista's are really nice and ALWAYS get my drink orders right. Never had an issue with that and they have great recommendations on drinks.
Some of my favs:
- Grande, Non-Fat, No Whip, White Chocolate Mocha, or make it a Venti with an extra shot of Espresso.
- Venti, Iced, Non-Fat, No Whip, Unsweetened, Green Tea Latte (if its sweetened- its like crack!)
- Grande, Non-Fat, No Whip, Green Tea Frappuccino, add Protein Powder
- Venti Caramel Fraccuccino, No Whip
- Cocoa Cappuccino: I like this, except its not strong enough for me.
The Matcha Green Tea (which is used in the Latte and Frappuccino) is what really got me hooked. You either love it or hate it and I became OBSESSED!
I have been known to go to Starbucks twice in one day. Don't hate the player- hate the game!
