Not so happy campers here...maybe they need to drink some shots or drinks??? 2nd time here since it's a pass by location when visiting the family. The first visit months ago we ordered a coffee and frappe which was not done well. So I thought it was an off day. Now, getting a small $25 gift card for part of a birthday gift was a reason to go again. Machi was fine, shots were strong (was a good thing), but an issue with my Very Berry Hibiscus. No berries??? and I was told it was for looks. And when the coffee drinker wanted some half & half, she gets handed a carton of Albertsons. After a few drinks on the way I gave up. The berries do make a difference:( I guess not all Starbucks are not on the same page...especially in Carefree, AZ.

It seems to be a recurring trend with Starbucks located inside of Albertsons being below standard. The one inside Frys and Safeway a few miles north are great. We rarely frequent this location since it seems almost every time we go the coffee tastes burnt or stale. If I'm paying 5$ for coffee I am really expecting the best possible quality. The young kids that work here are all very friendly and seem to always be working (cleaning, stocking etc). I just want to be clear that this review is strictly product based and not employee based. I don't know if they aren't stocked as frequently as other Starbucks or what the deal is but they seem to be out of common orders a lot. This location is very convenient being off the 17 and carefree highway. It's unfortunate that they will most likely never do anything to improve this location as I'm sure they get a lot of traffic from people traveling. That being said, if they made a few minor improvements I'm sure more people from the surrounding neighborhoods would visit this location instead of the other three Starbucks just a few miles north.

I ONLY go to this Starbucks bc its closet to my apartment and near my breakfast place I go get to go orders at every Saturday. Anyways my boyfriend and myself order Venti Caramel Moch's iced. The past 4 times they have tasted awful. I've even driven all the way back to the store after getting home to hve with them re made, still taste awful, but at the point I've wasted an hour of my day trying to get my money's worth. I get once In awhile ur drink may not be perfect but EVERY single time it's not okay with me. I can't pin point what's wrong with it wether it may be rotten milk, or too much vanilla syrup or what. But I'm over it I will not be returning.

I can honestly say, this is the worst Starbucks I've ever been to. They never make my drink correctly, and the other day I purchased 2 drinks and the stupid girl at the register charged me for 3. When I told her this, she frantically hit a couple of buttons and said that it would be put back on my card. 5 days later, still no refund, and I can promise you I won't ever see it. I will not ever be going back to this incompetent group of baristas ever again, and I recommend that no one does. Unless you like to be overcharged for horribly made versions of your coffee order. Yelp makes you give stars- so I gave them one, but they deserve zero.

Unlike most of the reviews on here I really enjoy going to this starbucks! Artell is so nice and friendly and always makes conversation. There is a sweet girl here who knows what I want to drink before I get to the counter! They're always really quick when they make their drinks and the drinks always taste delicious. Thanks so much for being an awesome starbucks to visit! I'll keep coming back.

Barista Artell was super friendly, personable and made my Strawberry-Banana-Whey smoothie deliciously. He was kind and pleasant to chat with :) Thanks Artell! (I hope I'm spelling his name right) Fine, quick, pleasing service from this small Sbux inside the Albertsons.

I made an account just to review this Starbucks inside Albertsons--that's how bad their service was. I asked for two very simple drinks, a black sweetened ice tea with and without lemonade, and I never tasted a disgusting Starbucks drink until now. I will definitely be driving an extra 2 miles to get quality Starbucks at Anthem.
