As always another super fantastic Starbucks. Fast and friendly service. Neat and clean environment. Coffee is really fantastic, especially when you are a Starbucks junkie like me. Since I am such a junkie, my goal is to hit every Starbucks in the city of Milwaukee.

I had a draft of this Starbucks saved, with a 4-star rating. However, I have to knock them down a star and a half. 2.5 stars. In the past 4-5 times I've come here on my lunch hour (over a several week span), the service at this particular location has steadily decreased. I only get a half hour for lunch, but I work a mile away, so it's never been an issue to get back in time.... until recently. Plus, I take a later lunch to avoid the rush. I had to bump their rating down after my experience today. There were several cars in front and in back of me during my lunch hour today. Normally this isn't a big deal, but considering I spent the majority of my lunch hour in LINE at their drive through today, I find this completely unacceptable. There have been times when more cars were in front and back of me, and it's been a lot faster. They were not only slow today (and the past few weeks!) but just didn't seem to care, as the attitude was incredibly lax. Today was the icing on the cake. The patron in the car in front of me apparently handed the cashier (I believe his name was Colin) a weird receipt which normally shouldn't hold up an entire line of cars, right? Wrong. I spent another 5 minutes in line, staring at my drink on the counter as Colin and his supervisor / boss argued over how he should have handled it. In the end he gave a halfhearted apology along with my lukewarm, melted iced coffee, as I realized I was already several minutes late back from lunch. In retrospect, I should have just driven off, which is something I would normally never do. Although it may be the hormones talking, don't mess with a pregnant lady and her ONE coffee of the day. Going forward, Starbucks will most likely be a splurge for me anyway, so I'll stick with the coffee from work and spend my dollars on something else - until they can fix the issues.

Starbucks used to get less than two dollars from me each transaction (short coffee) but now I find myself ordering all kinds of baked goods and shit I didn't even know I wanted. Average transaction $20. The drive thru here is fast. The barista was pleasant. I ordered an 8oz coffee but was handed a tall - this happens every time. Does anyone order a short coffee? The drive thru and parking lot is setup nicely but be careful merging onto 108th Street as drivers speed.

I love this location better than any other Starbucks! Although right now you have to deal with some road construction, it's still worth the aggravation! The staff at this coffee shop is the BEST! They are all very friendly, helpful and by far the most consistent with the coffee taste. Austin is a Barista that works here, and he is by far our favorite!! He is always accommodating and friendly and always quick to go the extra step to assure satisfaction for the customer! Thank you to the OUTSTANDING crew! You always help start our morning off with a friendly smile and great coffee!!!

This review is pending further usage.... I just moved to the neighborhood and this will be my caffeine provider of choice from here on out, so they've got a chance to move up in my graces. That being said, I've been twice, both times in the EARLY AM and both times they were a bit slow on the go and I felt like I spent more time inside than I'd have liked. When there are no folks in the drive-thru and no one else in line, I expect my drink to come out pretty quickly and that just didn't happen. They were busy doing the morning prep work and that made the customer service falter. I'm also having the same difficulty as I had at another location where I'm charged a different price for my drink every time. I just really hate correcting them and pointing out that they're doing their job wrong - you always look like a douche when you do that - but I also don't like getting over-charged. I'm hoping that with repetitive attendance, they'll straighten this out. But the location is great for me, it's clean and they make me functioning, so hopefully things only get better from here.

I'm a bit of a coffee snob. I admit it freely. I'm one of those people that goes to a new town and hunts down the independent coffee shops (and roasters). That being said, independent producers don't exist everywhere. And there are some perks to some of the chains. Like, the fact that they exist in the parking lot of Sam's Club. In terms of this particular Starbucks, there are ample tables so that you can find a seat, and the ordering area doesn't wind through the seating area, which is great. The store is tidy and seems well managed. The baristas here are some of the friendliest I've met at a Starbucks. They are also better than most of Buckies' baristas - the lattes actually taste like milk and espresso and they aren't scalded. Scalded lattes are one of my major pet peeves (1st world problem, I know!) - but it's not an issue here. All in all, it's a good experience - coffee, convenience and service.

Pretty good. I love me some Starbucks and this one isn't bad. I go here sometimes when I visit my parents and it usually doesn't disappoint. I can't wait until all the construction is done on Greenfield so I can start going to this location a little more.

I am a fan of Alterra and Anodyne Coffees. When I am out, sometimes Starbucks,is more convenient (especially when I am at Sams). I have only used the drive through here. It is your typical drive through. The one thing I am floored about is last time we went, we handed the cash over to the employee and he put our change into the tip jar without even asking us! I thought that was pretty rude. So use smaller bills or a credit/debit card to pay.

Starbucks delivers quality drinks. Love the peppermint mochas wish the low calorie drinks tasted better but if one wants flavor one must accept the calories. Friendly employees at this particular Starbucks unlike some of the other ones. NIce outside area
