Perfectly located off the highway. I found it difficult locating a Starbucks in the area; I am used to seeing them more regularly, like every major corner. So I was thrilled to see how convenient this one was as I was getting on the road to head back to NC. It was clean, well stocked, and speedy. The employees were attentive and friendly. Way to go, Starbucks. Thanks for the latte and getting me on my way in a matter of minutes.

Yesterday was the second time I asked for my money back because the staff here is super slow! I waited 30+ minutes for a Grande Iced Black Coffee- NO CREAM NO SUGAR. The cashier was rude and lazy. There was no one in line to take orders and he just stood around twiddling his thumbs. When I asked how much longer he told me don't you see the line? Well if he sees a line too why not go help instead of staring at the wall. Thanks Starbucks for a start to a crappy morning.

This is a nice Starbucks. Right off of I-85. It is in the Tiger Town shopping area and very visible from the highway. There is outdoor seating and a drive thru. A nice seating area inside. You get everything you want from a good Starbucks. The staff has always been friendly and helpful.

This starbucks is prime for its location. Right off the exit from the interstate, it's perfectly positioned for the weary traveler hoping to refuel on some caffeine for their extensive journeys or visits. While seating is not abundant, I typically don't struggle in trying to find a place to read or enjoy some free wifi. Starbucks has also always done a pretty magnificent job of staying on top of their menu with delictable choices. With that being said, it is nothing too extraordinarily different than any other starbucks. I always push for local, if you're in the area try the Overall Company, or Mama Mochas. But this starbucks ain't too shabby.

I visited lots of Starbucks but not happy with this one. Waited for 20 min only to have them tell me they did not have de-caf made. I could not wait and longer. Somewhat upsetting to go into a coffee shop and they tell you they don't have any coffee.

Great service. Great coffee. Great atmosphere. Now if they could just do something about some of the regulars who will not just let me sit and enjoy my coffee in peace...

I love the location of this Starbucks, however that's the only thing positive I can say. Every time I go through the drive thru, something goes wrong. Either I get a hot drink instead of a cold one, they charge me for espresso shots I didn't order, or they conveniently up charge me in some other way. Not to mention the countless times I've had to tell them NOT to put whipped cream on my soymilk drink, which I've never had to do at any other Starbucks. As a large chain, I realize these issues seem trivial but it's enough for them to lose me as a customer. The management is lacking, as well. Ive never gotten so much as a "I'm sorry" from anyone there. Details are important. From a specialty coffee shop such as Starbucks, I expect more. Thank God Auburn/Opelika has a wide range of other options for coffee.

Oh joy! Oh rapture! Oh damn, there goes my diet. La Boulange has made it to Auburn! I tried their pastries two weeks ago in San Francisco and the barista told me they were working their way East. They have arrived! I had the amazing chocolate croissant. It is the perfect combination of crispy outer crust and buttery, tender insides wrapped around a piece of bittersweet chocolate heaven. The chocolate complements my caramel flan latte perfectly. These little beauties were easy to resist when they were on the other side of the country. Now it will be a lot harder - they are just down the street!

Roomy, comfy and friendly staff. Most drive through locations are extremely crowded and this one is as well during peak hours. But which starbucks isn't these days. Nice atmosphere inside with high ceilings and 5 comfortable leather chairs to sink into. Convenient access off freeway exit with multiple restuarants nearby.

Sorry, I like my big chain friendly smiling Starbucks stores! I know what I order is going to come out exactly how it should and be delicious each and every time.

Prett nice Starbucks for getting coffee. They have indoor and outdoor seating. If you're looking for a place to study, this place is OK. My laptop battery's been dead for a few years now, so I unfortunately am always on the lookout for power outlets. There's not too many of them inside and none outside. Mostly smaller tables on the inside, so not too much room to spread out.

I've been coming to this store everyday since it opened more than 5 years ago. The service has gotten so bad in the past 12 months I'm gonna start going to the Overall Company. Example: Today I bought a Pike Place, had them put it in the plastic grande cup I bought from them only to be told they don't have any sleeves. How can you be out of something so fundamental- cup, lid, sleeve. This was after the person at the register walked off right as I stepped up to provide my order. Done.

The staff here is wonderful and super-friendly. The drinks are excellent. There's usually several places to sit, even on cold, rainy days and, for a Starbucks, it's reasonably quiet.

In my mind, this is really the only Starbucks in the Auburn Opelika area. There is one on campus but itis pretty much impossible to find parking when school is in season. There is also one in Target but who wants to deal with shoppers when all one wants is a cup of coffee. It is a great Starbucks, topped by the fact that it is open 24 hours. They make a mean hot chocolate and employees are always cheerful. Even when I have 10 orders to take back to the folks at work. Auburn needs another Starbucks but in the meantime I'm at least thankful we have a great one in Opelika.

Friendly clean Starbucks right off I-85. The atmosphere here was bright and chill. There's plenty of tables and chairs to hang out and talk. 3 stars, because... it's a Starbucks.... What can I say? Corporate Coffee that taste better than fast food's coffee.

This Starbucks got me through college with its late hours, but the personal service has really gone down hill. Some, but not all, of the employes seem like they hate their job. I've been to Starbucks all over America and normally get really happy service, but a smile from here is a rarity. Between that and all the outdoor ashtrays next to the "no smoking" signs, this Starbucks really keeps you guessing.

I like this 'bucks for sipping a pricey beverage and gabbing with pals. However, the parking lot can get very packed; I wish they would enlarge it. Tiger Town must have the most Starbucks per area in the Auburn-Opelika area, as there are small ones in Kroger and Target as well. Maybe caffeine promotes shopping or something.

My husband and I needed a pick-me-up on a recent road trip home. After traveling many miles, this Starbucks location was the only coffee spot we could find so we stopped. What a disappointment. My husband ordered his usually basic coffee with 2 creams and 2 sugars. I ordered a caramel macchiato. When we got to the window, the girl taking our money was rather rude and impatient with the other employees. After driving away, my husband too a sip of his coffee and realized there was no cream in it at all. My supposed caramel macchiato had no caramel taste to it at all and was a bitter disappointment. Considering we had already gotten back on I-85 and still had several hundred miles to go, we weren't about to turn around. It was just a $7.00 lesson learned......sometimes chain places are always reliable!!!

OPEN 24 HOURS! Love this one!! The only one for MILES on I-85 in Alabama....don't pass it up thinking another is around the corner! I promise honey...it ain't :) Love the outdoor seating area on two different sides of this location. Baristas are attentive and friendly and of course they meet all Starbucks standards in quality of drinks...great location!
