This is by far the best Starbucks location in Milwaukee if you ask me, and I'm not just saying that because it's the closest one to my house. The staff are friendly and entertaining and the store is always clean and crowded. But the drive is often crowded as well. I wouldn't say it's because the staff are slow - because they're not. There are just a ton of customers running through all day long. No matter what hour, what day, or the weather, cars are always lined up to get in here. The trick is to park and walk in. Even when I'm behind 5 other people, I can still get in and out with my order before the last car in the drive can get their order. I have ordered food here as well as drinks and never have I been disappointed. I'm not a big coffee drinker. I abhor the taste in fact. But I do like the chai tea hot or cold. I also like the peppermint mocha, but that's about 90% sugar anyway. Food has always tasted fresh and been served warm. I would recommend the blueberry oatmeal. Do you have gift cards and a smart phone? Download the app! You can load all the gift cards onto your smart phone so no more losing them or having to rummage around to find them. Chances are you're already holding your phone so you're halfway there. I would say there is only one downfall, and it's not their fault. Because of the location of this tiny strip and it's conjoined businesses - Chipotle and Noodles - the parking lot can get confusing and congested. All three are very busy all day long so there is a lot of traffic coming and going through the lot. Save yourself the headache and park in the lot nearest to Sherpers along the drive-thru. Or, you could park in the back which is the far end of the Pick 'n Save lot.

Very good service, always happy and very helpful. Drive thru is hard to access. Coffee is always made just right.

Had a very rushed morning. Went to my favorite Starbucks in Hills corners in the baristas took care of me and put a smile on my face. The time in line was very quick and they served my cup of coffee with a friendly smile. I really enjoy my Starbucks experience in the people make a big difference.

They are the NICEST PEOPLE EVER!! Particularly this one woman who works here. I don't remember her name, but I think she is a manager of some sort. She is so god damn cheerful every time I go there. She also let me in on the "secret" that I can order peppermint mochas any time of the year. ANY TIME I WANT! Also, one time the people in front of me bought my drink in the drive trough and she was working the drive through and we both had a "moment" about how people don't always suck. Seriously. I love her. Anyways, the drive through line is sometimes insanely long and its really inconsistent as far has how long it takes. Some days, it's super speedy. And then there are other days where you swear the car in front of you ordered one of everything of the menu, but first they have to go to Costa Rico and pick out the damn coffee beans and bring them back to the freaking store before we can get started. I dunno. Maybe people just order more complicated things than I do? I usually only go here when I know I have plenty of time. Just in case. Also, the inside is kind of weird. It's a tiny Starbucks, but I always see people hanging out in it. So that's cool. But I do not just "hang out" in coffee shops, so I have no opinion about this.

I frequent this Starbucks, as it's on the way to my parents house in Rochester (and as we all know, sometimes we need a little extra *kick* to get through those family dinners). I never go inside unless I absolutely have to - I'm never out of my car in this area of town, so my visits largely consist of the drive through. Although I've had a few mix-ups in my time, the service lately has been pretty consistent, and it is always friendly. The only beef I have with this Starbucks? It's a weirdly set up drive-thru. Which way do you enter? You have to cut across Pick N Save traffic going the other way, which is awkward and an odd set up. Sometimes the line for the drive-thru will get pretty long so it snakes into the road. Weird.

Love Starbucks coffee. Consistent anywhere you go. Nice location in Hales Corners but the space inside isn't as big as what you'll find at the Starbucks on 76th & Layton in Greenfield. Two comfy chairs, maybe 8-10 tables, with 2-3 wall outlets. It can get busy here and therefore loud. Service is always fast and friendly.

I don't drink coffee, so Starbucks isn't really a usual hangout for me. I got a frappucino, and enjoyed drinking it on the patio. I'd be back on a calm day.

Service at this location always seems to be extremely slow, but the drinks always are made exactly the way I like. A good product is worth the wait.

Go here regularly after Saturday morning gym class. Always clean, if regular staff is there things go smoothly. If not, it can be frustrating. Young beatnik type boy that works there is a pleasure every time!

I only come to this Starbucks when I get my car serviced. But as always Starbucks is good. Especially when you are a Starbucks junkie such as myself. Just would like to make a compliment to all the Starbucks workers. Never ran into a bad one in all the years I have been going to Starbucks.

Yes the staff is friendly, but the atmosphere is terrible for studying or getting anything done. Between the people behind the counter and the acoustics it's extremely loud, and I am a grad student from Chicago, I've been in my share of Starbucks.
