This is the second time I’ve been to this location(a week apart). The parking lot is quite small; there’s only eight spots designated for the starbucks, but there is a drive thru though :) there are plenty of spaces in the strip mall lot, but I’m not sure if you have to get a voucher for it or not when you park. Both visits I have done mobile order and just picked up through the drive thru. Too wait wasn’t too long to pick up at all and the baristas at the window are super nice. They did neglect to provide me a stopper and a sleeve when they handed me the drink until I asked. Both times my orders have been wrong at this location. Being lactose sensitive, both days have not been good for me, even though I did ask them each time they handed me the drinks if they were soy… To which they’ve always said yes. Therefore… Beware if you have any sensitivities! Can’t say I won’t visit again… But I’ll probably play it safe next time and just get tea.

The rudest manager I’ve run across at a Starbucks. He hides behind his staff and untrue«policies.» Don’t ever give this location your business!

It’s a Starbucks alright. I saw the rating for this Starbucks and figured that I needed to write this up really quickly to boost it up a little bit. Although the parking lot does get quite busy, it’s still a nice and clean Starbucks with everything you expect and quick service. It’s still a good Starbucks if you can find a spot to park(or just use the drive thru).

One might look at this as a crammed location jammed into a corner of the parking lot. On the other hand, one might say it is an efficient use of space, with the drive-thru cleverly designed to maximize what few parking spots they have available. I didn’t go inside, but the drive-thru staff was efficient and the drink was good.

I’d say this is the 3rd or 4th most used Starbucks in my roster(yes, I have a problem). I most often use on Saturdays, around 11AM. The parking lot is crazy(more so in the summer when you add pedestrians into the mix) and the drive through can be painfully slow. I think because it is small and there are a high number of users with giant SUVs. I do find though that the staff here are generally pretty friendly and they always get the order right. They do apologize for the wait sometimes too, if it is especially epic.

This is one of my closest Starbucks locations — but not one of my favourites. Just getting into it can be difficult. The parking lot is tiny and awkward. Don’t even think of trying to pull in your big truck! Try one of the spots further into the strip mall. Inside is your typical Starbucks. They’re a little bit slower than most locations, it seems. So, why do I visit? It has a drive-thru. And when I’m out and about, sometimes I prefer to just grab my coffee on the go. The drive-thru is usually pretty good but sometimes, like my last visit, it was reaaaaally slow. And the drive thru has a really sharp turn after you leave the window, so beware. And it lets out into the awkwardly small parking lot, just to make things REALLY fun. Review #21 of Unilocal’s 30 Day Challenge
