| - As a former Starbucks manager, I hold Starbucks stores to extemely high standards. I frequent SBUX a lot. By a lot, I mean more than the average Starbucks freak. With that said my input is based on what I know the founder of Starbucks wanted out of each store, and how close the store is to achieving that level of quality service. If any of the points below has an "N/A" next to it, that simply means I was not able to form an opinion based on our interactions.
1-Below Standards
2-Meets Standards
3-Outperforms Standards
Store Review
Now that I live in the North valley, this is my regular Starbucks store and I feel very fortunate to have such a great Starbucks in my neighborhood.
Avg Visits: 4-5 times/week
Partner Friendliness: 3 Partners smiles, cheery, strike up conversations
Partner Appearance: 3 Always look professional (some are well decorated!)
Partner Knowledge: 3 They knew my drink, know coffee well, and since they know I'm a former barista, they love talking back and forth about coffee in a way only Starbucks nerds would talk.
Store Appearance (decor): 2 Standard Starbucks cookie cutter appearance that Starbucks so desperately does not want.
Store Cleansliness: 3 This store is always very clean.
Store Comfort: 3 Comfortable setting and furniture for doing work for long periods of time.
*Either 1 or 2 for this section. Its either right or wrong*
Beverage Taste: 2 Iced Single Venty Hazelnut Breve Iced Coffee, Dirty Chai, or Triple Espresso
Beverage Consistency: 2 Never had funny tasting drinks
Beverage Temperature: 2 Always ice cold or steamy hot.
Beverage Preparation (I watch): 2 No health hazards, shortcuts, etc.
Beverage Mistakes: 2 Never had a wrong drink made but watch out for customers that accidentally steal your drink!
Will I return?: YES
I personally don't care for Starbucks food and do not believe that is what Starbucks is about. Therefore I do not review their food offerings.
