Located on the corner of Sahara & Fort Apache, in the Albertson's anchored shopping center, next door to Baskin Robbins, this has become my go-to Starbucks in the morning on my way to work.
The staff is amazing! Since I come here almost every morning, they know my drink without hesitation. I appreciate when they recognize regulars. They are all really nice too!
I will say, there are some days when a certain group of barista's are working and its much slower than another group. Sometimes certain people work better with others or sometimes it may be the delegation of duties. Either way, I have figured out how to time it so I hopefully don't wait very long.
The parking lot can get super busy in the morning. If you drive-by and all the spots right in front are taken- keep driving. That means they are pretty busy.
Wish there was a drive-thru, but that doesn't stop me from getting my iced, venti, caramel macchiato with extra caramel. And sometimes I make it a quad, depending on how tired I am. :)
Thanks for starting my morning off with a smile and some caffeine!
