Due to a missed connection, I ended up on the Northshore needing to drive back but wanting a pick-me-up before driving the Causeway again. I braved the Starbuck's drive-thru not wanting to get out of my car, and while I can see two more cars in the line would've created a cluster-f in the parking lot, it was ok today. The staff was very pleasant and handed off my bagel, toasted without needing to ask, and my small iced mocha. Starbuck's is working with their own cream cheese brand which is okay and the packet is large enough for two slices of bagel. If I was in a rush, I'd check the drive-thru line but probably hit up this Starbuck's again.

Great service and consistently good sandwiches, pastries, and drinks. They warm their chocolate croissants (a nice touch). Hip, industrial modern indoor atmosphere. Comfortable, covered outdoor seating under with occasional breezes and view of Hwy 190 traffic. Baristas busy but attentive. Free samples of featured drip roasts upon request.

I have the same review for this Starbucks as I did for the other one. I would add that this location always has stale pastries. I only get espresso based drinks, lattes or cappuccinos. The two Starbucks in Mandeville are constantly making really bitter espresso. Usually in the mornings. Sometimes it tastes fine like it always has but not always. When it does taste normal it is usually later in the day. I think it may depend on who is working.

As Starbucks go, this is the best on the northshore. The employees are very friendly and helpful. This location has a drive through, but it can be awkward to use. The Starbucks is in a small strip mall so the drive through can't accommodate more than a few cars without causing traffic problems. I usually go to local coffee shops, but occasionally I have no choice and must go to Starbucks. When I must go to Starbucks, this is my first choice.

Drive thru. Enough said. Employees can't hear for shit. They need to tear this one down and start over.

This location has great service and is rather spacious. The only negative is the drive thru. It backs up traffic in and out of Highway 190, and it can make difficult to park in the lot. Other than that, it is a great storefront and has all your Starbucks' favorites.

I had a terrible experience here. The place was disgustingly dirty with trash all over the place. The coffee was terrible (and I personally love Starbucks coffee) - I don't know if it was old, burnt, or both... but it was bad. The employees were disruptive, loudly carrying on while I was trying to sit there and enjoy my drink (I eventually gave up and left). I was tempted to rate them a "1" but they got 2 stars because I love Starbucks and couldn't bear to give them a 1, and to be fair, the service was at least friendly (loud and obnoxious, but friendly).

This is my favorite place to kill time on the north shore! Great coffee, great people, and free wifi!
