This is a pretty standard Starbucks. I'm almost positive it is a renovated bank. I could be wrong, but it seems like that especially in the drive-thru area. Kind of a cool re-do and I love that there is a drive-thru. I'm not a huge fan of Starbucks coffee, it is on the same level as Caribou for me. I'll drink it, but I don't prefer it. I do really like Starbucks breakfast sandwiches, they're not bad for price and are pretty large and incredibly yummy. Plus, they use cage-free eggs and the english muffins are never soggy: huge plus. The service here has been good every time I've stopped in. It's never been busy and my drink is always ready really quickly and everyone always has a smile. This particular location is pretty much walking distance from home for me, so it's really convenient and I like that.

I've never stepped in as well to this starbucks. Did a great job transforming it from a bank. Very fast delivery and descent breakfast sandwiches on the go.

I am an avid Starbucks lover and discovered this place to be on my way to work. I typically hit the one by my house before i drive in. The staff at this location was very unfriendly on several occasions, even after i brought this to the attention of the manager. By unfriendly i mean i literally went through the drive through, ordered my drink, and when i went to pay had my card ready, and not one single word was uttered to me. Not a repeat of my drink, my total, or even a return comment after i said "Have a good day". Even though stopping at the Starbucks by my house can tack on an extra 5 minutes, i have found it to be worth the drive!

I have to stop checking into Starbucks because I'm sick of writing reviews on Starbucks. This Starbucks is good, though, because there's a drive thru (hallelujah) and the people that work here are great. Never encountered anyone unfriendly. It's sort of a pain getting here without a U-turn or two but it's worth it by not having to walk in. Not much else to say. I think we've all been to Starbucks.

I've never stepped foot into this Starbucks, but I'm really a fan How is that possible, you say?! THEY HAVE A DRIVE THRU. This is my ultimate lazy indulgence when I'm driving to work in the winter and would still rather be catching Z's in my bed. Their coffee isn't the greatest to me -- i.e. too dark, too bitter, too burnt-tasting -- but their blonde roast is tolerable to me. The staff is always quick with the orders even if there are multiple cars in the drive thru who have the same plan that I do. You can get in line, get your coffee fix and get on with your life and that to me is easily worth 4 stars...

It's much like other Starbucks but I've always felt it has a little more character since it used to be a bank and was converted very flawlessly into a tiny space with a distinctive drive-thru. All of the employees are incredibly friendly and packed up out meals nicely. They had no problem filling our somewhat fancy orders and always offered to give us a carrying tray for multiple coffees. Price has always been an issue for me, but it's Starbucks. I know what to expect. It's just nice having it so close to my dad's for a quick pick-me-up.

This Starbucks in an old bank building... both offer drive thru service, both collect cash... but only one rends the nectar of the gods! And this Starbucks does not disappoint in the rendering! The service is always friendly, they always get my drinks right, and...bonus... they have a drive thru. They also have decent sized (albeit a bit 'cold' feeling) seating area if you want to plunk down for a bit and ponder life over your cuppa joe. Don't get much better kids...it really don't.

I love this location!! I live nearby and for the last two months they have been supplying me with my daily caffeine fix. After about a week, they knew my order by heart (a tall non fat no whip iced mocha) and were extremely friendly and perky at 7 am. Its clean, bathroom is clean, plenty of seating, not crowded at all, there is wifi and newspapers and there is a drive-through (hello suburbia) Great Starbucks!

I'm taking on the challenge of writing a review about the king of corporate espresso...because unless you have the poor luck to have either a brand new or drunk barista... How inconsistent can your venti iced skinny hazelnut latte really be? (my girlfriends caffiene drink of choice) me? I started drinking 4 shots of iced espresso in Phoenix and whether at the SBUX( your new secret code for Starbucks- this is their trading symbol on NASDAQ-so now when you text "need SBUX?" get ready for the hi-jinx to ensue) Anyway......whether here in minneapolis, or in London I always order the same thing- So 1) some claim pouring espresso directly over ice "burns" it and can alter the taste- I don't buy it 2) your SBUX experience is altered mostly by the employees......and I give this location the a-ok rating and not higher not because they have been rude or inattentive to me-but check out how they treat each other- perhaps it's some intrasbux romantics gone bad - maybe there is some hierarchy that the drive thru crew can talk smack to the counter folk...however I have seen better "teamwork" at other locations.....saying this , there is a counter person , I do not know his name but has been there for a while and is awesome. 3) I dont understand the fascination with the drive thru- ....so park , order "old school" style...I guarantee it's faster. So SBUX on minnetonka- make peace with each other, show some team spirit- the founder Mr. Shultz would like that and get a 4 star next time:)

This by far is my favorite Starbucks location - not only is this so close to my house - but the service is consitantly friendly! The building layout s so pretty and comfortable and the drive through sometimes gets WAY busy but pretty good at being fast and pushing through

So I feel the need to review a Starbucks. I normally do not frequent many of these shops, but this specific location seems to be on par. I used to have to come here often to get coffee for myself and others at the office where I used to work. I basically want to point out that this location has a drive thru! That really made me happy when I had to come here everyday for coffee. Places like Starbucks need a drive thru. It makes everything handy. Although, the drive thru fills up pretty fast, and you wait the same amount of time as if you were standing in line, but it does help a lot. Early in the mornings, the staff is a bit crabby at times, but that's like everywhere, except, I feel that because they work at a coffee shop, they feel that it is OK to give attitude.. I don't quite get it, but I guess it works. And I hate the fact that if you get a mocha or something fancier to drink they automatically put whipped cream on top.. wtf?? Why? I hate that. Really not something to complain about, but I don't see why they can't ask you first if you want it or not.. that is one of my biggest pet peeves.. I've also gotten a travel mug from this location too, and I use it everyday! I got it right after Christmas, so the $19.99 mug only cost me $4.99! I couldn't resist. It's Gold! I love gold! Don't ask.. it's a weird half-classy, half-trash obsession I have. As for the food and coffee here.. It's Starbucks..It's the same.. It's drinkable. I don't hate Starbucks, but then again, I don't love it either. I have my favorite coffee shops where I would prefer to go to, but in a rut, I will opt for Starbucks over Caribou.. Who's with me? Anyone?
