This Starbucks is phenomenal thanks to the warmest service possible you will get there. You can go there any day of the week and the staff is nice. Very very friendly. It’s a nice place to just sit and chat or do things on your computer that doesn’t have a lot of alternatives in the neighbourhood. Ample parking.

Decent little Starbucks. Fast service through the drive through and clean and bright on the inside. The service is friendly and they get your order correct. Yay! Fair amount of parking to. What else is there to say? It is a Starbucks like every other Starbucks. Note: To reach the drive through start you have to go to the other end of the building the Starbucks is in and drive around back(It isn’t obvious depending on what way you enter the lot)

This really is my favorite Starbucks, for one simple reason: ITISCLOSETOMYHOUSE. I love being able to grab a coffee and sneaking in 30 – 45 minutes of reading, writing, or work before heading off somewhere. The staff here are very warm and friendly but sometimes tend to quietly ask you«how are you doing?» which gets them 20-minute delayed response from me. Sorry, sometimes things don’t register so quickly with Angelo folks,(a life-time of missed first-kisses down the drain) As much as people knock the unstoppable force that is STARBUCKS, I like this one. It fits like a MY shoes. Would I recommend my shoes to someone? No, you recommend one just like it, and there is a billion Starbucks in this universe. Go get your own.

I really want to be anti-Starbucks, but it is so hard when they are literally everywhere! My friend and I used to get together at the Second Cup across the street, and were pretty disappointed when it shut down, I think we now know why it did. Why do I hate Starbucks? Well first of all I don’t drink coffee, I drink tea or hot chocolate, so why would I spend $ 2 something for hot water and a tea bag, when I can get the same at Tim’s for a dollar less. Plus there is something about their Earl Grey that really grosses me out. I am definitely not the demographic they are targeting, yet I’m one of the few that don’t drink coffee, so when my friends want to get together for coffee, I kind of get pushed to these places. At least I’ve discovered tea Latte’s so it expanded my choices at Starbucks(and the frappaccinos are pretty good), but I definitely see this place as a waste of whatever money I have. None-the-less I’ve been here once a week the past little while to catch up with a friend, so Starbucks is earning money off of me. The place is pretty small in regards to seating, and whatever seats they do have are pretty cramped together. The last time I went they had one girl running the front of house, and one doing drive thru, which was fine because it was slow, but at one point seven people walked into the place and the poor girl at the front had to scramble to make coffee. I realize that the girl isn’t necessarily touching my drink, but should she really be handling money and making a drink after? I also found it strange that two people show up from the backroom after the crowd cleared; I don’t know if they were on break but half your staff shouldn’t be on break at the same time. The place feels pretty busy and packed right now for what it is, which worries me since Deer Valley Mall is pretty much a dead end right now, so what’s it going to be like once the area is fully renovated and in full swing as a shopping area?

Yep! Another Starbucks has been built. Somewhere in the world someone is shedding a tear at the thought. «why? Why? WHY? Give someone else a chance!» … I for one am very happy to see a Starbucks located a mere 3 minute drive from my home! I like a mom n paup shop as much as the next guy but mom n paup don’t seem to want to build a good coffee shop in my neiborhood… so be it! Starbucks wins ! Yeah it’s new, so expect the staff to still be a little green(snort snort hwa hwa)… When you go through the drive through and one of the workers says«sorry it’s been a rough day, do you know what I have been through today???(true story I heard from friend, it didn’t happen to me! But wow!) you know that the staff has got some kinks and still gotta learn how to hold down a groove, it’s normal! … Sort of… Hahaha So YEAHHHH! Starbucks in my neiborhood!!! it’s consistent, expensive and a rather nice place to sit and have a chat. not gonna lie, I was and still am very exited!
