My sister and I stopped in her after a movie to enjoy some coffee. I am a frequent flyer of Starbucks and visit them at least 3 times a week. I had never been to this particular location before and I will NEVER go back! The barista was so rude, like, unbelievably rude. And of course she didn't have on a name tag so....She was thin, brunette, mouse-y looking. I politely asked her for a couple of waters to go along with my order and she ROLLED HER EYES at me and said "Yeah ok". When I then tried to confirm my order was correct with her, she acted all offended and said "I'm sure it's right ok?" again, with a very rude tone. I've never been treated this way at a Starbucks. They should be embarassed.

Imagine this: I had just driven 3 days from Minnesota to Arizona. I knew that my favorite coffee shop in Minnesota, Caribou Coffee, didn't exist in the desert southwest. Tired, a bit intimidated, and craving coffee, I find my first local Starbucks about 2 miles from where I live. I park my car and walk up to the store, and from the moment the coffee aroma hit me, I knew I had found a place I could get away, drink great coffee, and relax reading my book, just like I had done back home. The baristas (at least 2 or 3 of them) are extraordinarily friendly. I had an extended conversation with one about Near Eastern and Asian culture and languages, which blew my mind. That had never happened to me before, and it brought a profound joy to my heart. I had spent nearly 30 years in MN and I had never encountered such friendly staff *anywhere*, not even in the coveted "uptown" area of Minneapolis (known for being down to earth, organic, open minded folks). I felt immediately welcomed in a strange land, one in which I wasn't yet comfortable. I don't have much money, but this Starbucks gets what little dollars I do have; it gives me an escape, a feeling that I am "home", and that sense of community I so dearly miss. I've spend many hours in their cushy chairs, either applying for jobs on my laptop, or reading a book out of my favorite series. I don't know what I would've done if I hadn't found this Starbucks in my first few days in Arizona. I know, many of you would say, "Gee, Starbucks? Really? Couldn't you have found a more local coffee shop?" No. I couldn't have. I'm broke, and I have no internet access where I live. To stumble upon this shop was awesome; I was never a fan of Starbucks when I lived in MN, but now, I'm a huge fan. At certain hours of the day, you can't find a place to sit, but that makes it all the more warm and friendly. People here don't seem to mind if you sit directly next to them when it's busy (Minnesotans apparently really like their personal bubble). I give it 2 thumbs up, but you'll have to see it for yourself. I may be merely a lonely traveler looking for something familiar, but I was impressed with the service, the friendly faces, the product and the cleanliness of this coffee shop.

I'm a fan of Starbucks, and this is a pretty good one. Nice setting in a kind of plaza area with plenty of outdoor seating and outdoor tables. Beyond that, pretty standard Starbucks but doesn't disappoint.

So I was next door at Beer Research Institute for a lunch meeting.. and by "meeting", I mean I was having beers with Eric and Trent. Anyways, after I finish putting together a solid lunchtime buzz, I decide I should probably have some caffeine in my system. Mainly because I'm headed back to work, and don't want to sound like the loud, belligerent drunk that I am when I start my 2PM conference call. This is how I ended up at Starbucks. If you've ever been to Starbucks, you know that have two giant coffee makers side-by-side. I'm assuming they do this so that when one runs out, they can always have one on standby so that soccer moms don't flip shit when they have to wait 5 minutes for their daily caffeine dose. I'm only telling you this because the guy in front of me ordered a grande coffee. The chick working the register starts filling the cup, and one of the coffee pots runs dry, so she tops it off with coffee from the second pot. No big deal. Wrong. The guy in front of me loses his fucking mind, and is like WHY DID YOU USE THE OTHER COFFEE MAKER, bla bla bla. Everyone is kind of looking at each other, like what in the earthly fuck is this guy's problem?! Anyway she handles it like a pro, and asks if he wants her to refill it. He's like NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT, and throws his arms in the air and storms out. Well anyways, I'm rating this 5 stars, because fuck that guy.

We went in here to kill some time before a movie. The people were nice and helpful. The menu is easy to read and there is a decent amount of seating inside. Our drinks didn't take long to make and were tasty.

I am at Starbucks nearly every day but never again will I come to this location. The two baristas working were rude, openly commenting on how disgustingly sweet they thought my drink was- a passion tea apple juice with two Splenda. The girl ringing me up made ZERO eye contact, didn't ask for my name, nothing. I pity every customer that has to suffer their poor attitudes.

Even though this is a location with no drive thru, it is still faster than the drive thru's at other locations. So I come to this location instead. The staff is nice and they usually remember my name and my drink which makes a girl patron like me feel special of course.

Great staff, but mediocre seating, particularly since they removed 4 of the 6 nice chairs. Internet has slowed to a crawl over the years so I use my own hotspot.

A lovely Starbucks indeed. The staff at this location really makes the place great. They are so nice and have the best awkward small talk conversations that I have ever had at a Starbucks. They almost always manage to successfully convince me to buy a cute adorable cookie as well. Nicely done! Inside is mostly filled with chairs rather than tables and the few tables they do have are pretty small. Don't expect to be able to have a large monthly book club or writer's group meet up here for a discussion. Not really gonna happen unless it's cooler and you do it at the outside tables. The bathrooms are clean except for the floors. The floors always seem to look like someone with dirty shoes walks all over them right after they were mopped. I'm not sure if that's just how they look or if that is what is really happening, but that is the only little bump at this store.

Not sure how many Starbucks I have visited in my lifetime... many. This will be a new favorite when I am up in that area. Loved the layout - really big inside with high ceilings and tons of room and tables (where you don't feel crammed in). Zippy fast on not only getting customers through the line, but just as fast delivering your drink - made to order and tasting as it should. Bathrooms clean, nice outdoor seating area.

Sad how Starbucks lost its customer service edge that they were known for... Headline - A Seattle company that lost its Pacific Northwest roots. My daughter had saved up some coupons for the new Fizzio soda. She was so excited to have daddy daughter date with our start at Starbucks. The team member lady was extremely rude and loudly said "we can serve you because these coupons are expired." I said "serve us???" "Ok. We don't need to have a drink here if you can't serve us". I don't think she meant it they way it came out but her attitude was so bad that we just left. My daughter was very sad and embarrassed about the explosion from the team member. The real bummer is they were two days past. Ha! The old Starbucks would have said, glad to help you. Enjoy your drink. Instead of inferring, your an idiot why don't you just leave. Hope they take some time a coach that poor young lady before she does this again.

I'm rating this Starbucks against other Starbucks locations and not against other coffee shops-- I studied here last weekend, and I have to say it was the perfect environment to study in. There was plenty of space, and even tables that seemed like they were designed for studying or reading. The atmosphere was upbeat, but not too loud. The service was incredibly friendly. The drinks were typical Starbucks (as expected)-- take that for what you will. If I lived near this Starbucks, I would make it a regular study spot, but unfortunately it's too far away for me!
