Ahhh... really debated giving a four, but I had one sourpuss barista that ruined it for me, so three stars it is. This Starbucks is pretty hit or miss as far as busy-ness goes. Some days, it is manageable (at peak morning zombie hours). Other days, it's total chaos. The same goes for parking. There is one very lovely barista here, and then there's a crabby butt. May you all have the pleasure of getting the nice one.

The fact that you have to review a Starbucks is sad but this is so below average that it's pathetic. I have yet to meet someone that works here who is kind or even takes your order politely. The service is below par and when I received the wrong order I was told by one of the baristas that I was wrong and she made my drink correctly. I know there are a lot of daily people who love this place and I hope they are given a much better service quality than what I have ever received here.

I really have to stop coming to this Starbucks. Beyond the internet being horrible 95 percent of the time, the baristas here are not at all friendly and when they are friendly, it's to the regulars and then they end up getting crazy chatty and driving a line practically out the door. I really can't get over how unfriendly they are here. They fein niceness, but they're pretty catty and rude. Bummer.

Now that I work in Lowry on a regular basis I find myself craving my typical Starbucks morning order and this Starbucks nestled inside Albertson's does the trick. Not always the fastest at taking orders or making drinks but they do the trick. They appear to know the regular customers by drink which is always a plus, one day they'll know me too. They do take the Starbucks Gold Card and my drink has always been made accurately. Out of convenience I'm here quite often.

Friendly and fast service but a few inconvenience will have you walking out the door. Terrible WiFi, inside the building you will have limited cell service inside as well. If your coming to socialize this is a great place. If your coming to do work and need Internet, your going to get frustrated very quickly.

For all of the people giving 1,2,3, even 4 star reviews... I disagree! This is one of the best Starbucks I have ever been to... and trust me I have been to a lot! It is right near my work so I come in several times a week. The staff is amazing- they are all so friendly, perky, and upbeat. Often times they are the first people I talk to in the morning and they always put me in a good mood. I am always in and out the door quickly which I appreciate since I am often running late to work! They apologize when they don't remember my name (which I would never expect them to) and they always keep the line moving and drinks coming out fast even when it's crazy in there. Obviously they can't help it when there's a line out the door and the parking lot is full (which other people have complained about) but those are the days that I either pass on it or come back when I know it will be less busy. That could happen anywhere and that is the nature of a small busy shopping center where there are multiple stores and restaurants, not to mention a gym where there are tons of people working out at all hours of the day. But once you get in the door and smell the coffee and get your drink everything is okay. I love this Starbucks! Thanks everyone who works here for making my work days so much easier by providing me with great service, yummy drinks, and CAFFEINE!

I've been a gold member for 7 years. I love me some starbucks. But by far this is the WORST starbucks I've ever been to. A few of the staff are great. I live nearby, and the wifi has not worked well for MONTHS. Many customers have complained about it; the staff says 'everyone complains about that' and for three months they have told us they are 'getting google soon which should fix it.' The manager holds interviews and staff meeting speaking in the middle of the store during day hours so loudly the entire store can listen to her unfortunately high pitched voice. Head to the Starbucks in the Albertson's half a block a way- there's no crowd and a more responsive and friendly staff.

Not the best of the Starbucks, but the coffee is the same as always. This Lowry Starbucks is the closest coffee shop to my home, so I go there often. The staff is as to be expected- nice, swift, but not as personable as at some locations. Like some other reviews stated, there is not much indoor seating and the outdoor seating is right next to Quebec, so the traffic gets loud. I would say this is a decent place to grab a drink and go, but not really a place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee. However, parking can get tight and there is no drive thru.

It's a Starbucks. They make coffee. They make my commute to work better. But I have my own coffee pot, why must I go here? I try to avoid it but it calls me back. And now the pumpkin spice is back? All willpower's out the window. Right around the corner from me there's this little place that, in under 8 minutes, my mornings are instantly improved. Quick, clean, friendly, done. I wish during the workweek I had time to have a relaxed, browse the newspaper, make an intense omelet type of morning (see Under the Umbrella review), but I can't. So there's Starbucks. I stick to the mocha (grown-up sounding chocolate milk) or blonde over ice. Plus it makes me giggle to say "I'll have tall blonde please."

The coffee was decent, and the baristas were nice. The only complaint was regarding wi-fi internet connectivity. I came to study, and tried to connect to the wi-fi for half an hour. I've never has issues with this at other locations before. After restarting my computer numerous times, asking the employees about connectivity, and calling the tech support listed on the starbucks website (the only site I got partial access to after typing the website directly into my browser), I got nothing. The baristas said there had been some issues with the wi-fi. Tech support said they noticed there was an issue with connectivity, and would escalate the complaint. I stayed for an additional 15 minutes before leaving. Again, coffee was fine - my pumpkin spiced latte tasted as delicious as others I've ordered before. If you need the internet though, this location was a bit spotty the night I visited. Not sure if it's a rare instance, but I won't be coming back if I absolutely need internet access.

Everyone knows what Starbucks is like, but they differ according to the vibe and table availability. I met a friend here mid-morning, and we had to sit outside. All of the inside chairs were completely full and some of the outside chairs. A lot of people were there for meetings or to work. The barista acted like I was asking her to go out of her way when I ordered my coffee. Kinda ridiculous. I'm fine meeting people here if I'm in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go to this Starbucks.

dont be fooled by the sbux in the albertsons grocery store across the parking lot. this bux is its own location. ...stil within the lowry shopping center... which is actually pretty cool. reminds me of a california open air shopping center. lots of cool little shops and the grocery store and the bux, ov course. the denver firemen hang out here and every once in a while the super hott ones will come drink coffee on the outside patio in front of the building! :)

I've been here many times before and found the small size charming however, today I discovered what that really means...inadequate seating. There are probably 20 seats and all were full today. URGH. Instead, I had to go to the S'bucks in the Albertson's to study. Definitely not recommended or productive.

This Starbucks can be a little confusing since there's also another Starbucks within throwing distance at the Albertsons. But because of that reason it's not often packed out either. It's been a great place for me to camp out with my laptop to get some work done or to meet potential employees. I haven't really encountered really friendly staff at this particular location, but...as long as my coffee has plenty of caffeine in it, that's something I can overlook. :)

Decent Starbucks. It's located inside an Albertson's so it's convenient to grab a drink after a grocery shopping trip. If you are planning on using your Starbucks App on your phone then you need to head to the other Starbucks in the Lowry Shopping Center. Unfortunately, they use the Albertson's system so you can't use your Starbucks App at this location. The overall place is pretty clean. My only complaint is that the place doesn't offer enough sitting areas since it's not very big. .It' not a Starbucks I would hang out in. It's more of a grab and go type Starbucks.

I'll give starbucks 4 stars. They have wonderful people that work there and they have to deal with 214 kids every wednesday mornings. But they do not take there time AT ALL! I've been to Better starbucks but this one is ok. Its near my school so I can grab a tea or somthin. Well that it for me.

After many a check-in, this place remains my main Starbucks. The staff has been nice, competent and on top of their game each time I've been in. For example, they remember my order, in fact they remember that I order for other people on occasion and they even remember that information as well. The perks of being a regular I guess. My problem with this place is the influx of students you might run into if you go at the wrong time. The wrong time being during the school year at about 3pm. But it's not the fault of the coffee shop that they are popular with the young people. Anyway, back to the coffee. They make a good shaken tea or iced coffee for the summer months and I've found the brewed coffee to be strong, warm and flavorful. It's a Starbucks so you can expect a certain level of consistency from location to location, but the people make the difference.

I'd never though I'd review a Starbucks, but this one is so below the usual standard that it should be called out. When I was there it was a pretty cold day outside, and it was freezing inside the store. Most Starbucks usually convey at least a little sense of comfort or warmth, but this one is cold and dirty. No comfy seats, nothing more than a few tables. If you happen to be shopping at Albertson's and you want a quick coffee while you shop, this place is for you. If you are looking to meet a friend and sit and catch up, pick a different Starbucks.
