I went through the drivethru on Wednesday October 27, 2021 and the barista taking my order kept cutting me off while I was trying to order, and to make matters worse, I didn’t even receive what I ordered and paid for! Because she was in such a hurry to take my order she didn’t even give me what I wanted.

Always so pleasant here. I usually do the mobile app ordering and they always have great attitudes there.

This Starbucks is really good, my coffee is always hot and even if the line is extensive you always get through quickly. Their drive-thru operation is somewhat similar to Chick-fil-A.

This the third time in the row that they messed up our orders.The first time we sort of let it go and the second time we told them and we got what we ordered but thought we’d give them another chance.But 3 times in the row are more than coincidence and just being careless.This is the last time we’ll visit this location.

I love this location solely for the reason that Amanda works there in the drive thru. She always has such a positive vibe and is always full of compliments. I always leave there feeling better than when I first got there. The others workers are great too. But Amanda is my fav!

So I ordered a caramel latte with extra drizzle..... I will not go there to order it again, that is all I will say. Worst latte ever!

I have always loved this location and the people that work here. My grandmother and i always go through the drive through to treat ourselves if we have had a bad day. Today a girl in the drive through that i didnt recognize with dark brown hair was very rude and up my my grandmothers face because she got the order wrong then told my gran that it wasnt wrong and was raising her voice and talking over her. If i hadnt had somewhere to be i wouldve come in and told the manager right then. There is no reason to yell at an older person ever. Especially when we were being respectful. My gran was trying to say that my drink was decaf and also not the drinks we ordered but she wouldnt listen also she said that vente drinks only have two shots which i believe is wrong and is supposed to be three. I have a severe heart condition couldnt drink the drink i payed for. Oh also its my birthday so thanks. May come in person later to discuss this further with a manager.

Line for drive thru was long but moved fairly quick. Ordered a blonde coffee and bacon egg sandwich. Bacon was barely cooked and coffee was just barely warm. Coffee should be hot, could not even drink it. Disappointed!!

I visit them two to three times a week. They were always too good in the service but today it was different. Coffee was a disaster and it was not filtered. I would still give them 4 star hoping they would look into it and avoid it in the future.

Sometimes when I order on the app they claim to have not have received my order. I made sure before heading to the store but regardless they told me I had placed it at the other location down the road. Which I agree makes sense. It’s only happened a couple of times though so no biggie but since then I’ve had splendid service.

This is the Starbucks closest to my house and the one I visit most often. Everyone is always so friendly at this location! The downside...I’m SO tired of the hours being up and down. It’s 7:30 and they’re closed. I drove up knowing the hours on Google say 8:00pm and it’s pitch black. Are the customers not important at all anymore?

Both of my drinks were incorrect. Upon remaking them, the staff made the same errors in both drinks. Staff was not very friendly and a bit dismissive.

I went this morning through the drive thru, hoping to get a gingerbread hot chocolate because I saw online that it was available. I asked the lady if they had the gingerbread hot chocolate, and she said Of course we.. do not. I found this very rude and uncalled for. She could have politely said no.

Review №28

When asking for a London Fog the staff said that it wasn’t something they couldDo through the drive through and when asking the cashier to break a 20.00 bill so I could tip she made offensive comments. On another a separate occasion I went inside and asked them to make a London Fog and after the man slammed the cup down almost knocking it off the counter I don’t recommend this place this place should be shut down.

I don’t go to Starbucks often. I ordered my drink, left the drive-through, started sipping my drink. I notice a hair (definitely wasn’t my own) on the cup and thought, “please, god, let it be on the outside of the cup”.... it wasnt. It was mixed in with the drink. Hell no. Almost barfed.

Love the chocolate croissant and iced cappuccino!.Id like to to add to my review of the Inverness location in Birmingham....Its now August 2020 during the pandemic and I am grateful that Starbucks is still open and serving with a smile (behind the mask!) My new favorite is the Cold brew with chocolate cocoa Almond milk foam! Its really very refreshing on a hot summer day. Looking forward to my next visit.

Love coming here! Such a friendly staff and always polite, no matter how busy they are. The drive thru is always wrapped but moving productively and in a timely fashion. Inside is always clean and love have my coffee and breakfast here while working and or a quick bite in the afternoon. Venti white Mocha nonfat no whip with the egg bites is my go to! Such a great team keep it up!

The best Starbucks I have ever been to... ever! Super fast drive through. It is quicker to go through this drive through than it is to wait at the intersection light. Always friendly and clean. Simply put—my favorite Starbucks.

Their black coffee isn’t great but good place to get specialty drinks. Although, it’s a good place to sit and get some work done or read a book. Incredibly nice and accommodating staff as well.

Very nice baristas here at this location. They try and go above and beyond and offer to replace your drink with something else if you dont like what they make when you try new things. I would recommend this location to others

You can never go wrong with Starbucks. I love that they have soooooo many different drinks to choose from and I think my favorite one would be the smores frappuccino! It was so good that I couldnt get a picture in on time. I will say it is seasonal so get it while you can! My go to is usually a white chocolate mocha frappe with a caramel drizzle. If you want more coffee taste, add a shot of espresso!

Quick walk-in service and coffee was exactly as ordered. Treated myself to vanilla bean mini scones as well. Walking in is quicker than drive through on peak hours.

Review №78

Its a Starbucks. That means: half the time they get your order right; the other half they look at you like you have a horn growing out of your head because you want them to fix it and make the drink you ordered. Thats right Barista, I didnt just pay $5+ for the wrong drink... Please fix me the one I ordered.

I just went through the drive thru on my way home from a birthday party. I ordered a tall Flat White and a tall White Chocolate Mocha with hazelnut syrup. When I got home and started drinking it, I found myself spitting it right back out along with the few hairs that were in it. Maybe I’ll go to Dunkin next time.

I had gone into Starbucks at approximately 8:30 in the morning in order to mocha Frappuccino and one of the new chorizo sandwiches I was told to pull up and wait for my order and when I received it it was cold in the middle of my sandwich and to top the whole thing off I was not asked or given a receipt I had later gone in to talk to the manager about this issue Tracy the manager was wonderful she replaced the items that had been messed up and was just as sweet as you could imagine. Lindsay and Arron were wonderful as well Aaron make a wonderful frappe and I could not be more thankful to these three I am the one happy girl now.

I have been visiting this Starbucks 2-3 times per week for the past four years. It has gone downhill so dramatically in the last few months. Three of the last four times that Ive ordered on the app theyve been out of something when Ive arrived to pick it up. I understand that the individual baristas dont control their stores inventory but each time this has happened Ive had to explicitly ask for a refund. They have made no efforts to resolve my issues and demonstrate poor service each time, bordering on rude.I was compelled to write this review today after my fourth unpleasant visit in a row. When I arrived, the mobile order that I had placed ten minutes ago was not ready. There were four baristas behind the counter, two of whom were behind the registers. There were no customers in line. No one acknowledged me or offered assistance. After four minutes a fifth barista came out of the back and saw me and assisted.This used to be a great Starbucks but the service has completly tanked. I would highly caution anyone from visiting this location. There are two other coffee shops on this same road within two miles that both have much stronger service. I will not be returning.

Spit in My CoffeeI was on my way to an appointment and needed a coffee because our baby kept us up all night. I swung through the drive through, but received a call from a client that I had been trying to get a hold of for days. I picked up and it was my turn at the drive through at nearly the same time. I asked my client if he could hold for a second while I ordered (I cant imagine someone being on the phone while ordering is that uncommon).I guess the teens working behind the bar found that rude as I was driving down the street when a slimy substance found its was through my lid. I gagged in disgust. When I pulled open the top, it was clearly a very large luggie.When I returned later in the day with the cup to complain, I was greeted with the same 3 teens and no manager. They asked to see the cup and promptly poured it out so I had no evidence (I figure the cup had a time/date stamp and maybe even he maker of the coffee- thank God I had the sense to at least take a picture first!) They assured me that no one on their team would ever do that, but asked if they could make me a new coffee to make up for it.I guess it is strictly OHenrys and Octane for me now (its a shame because Starbucks is much more convenient).

The lady in the bandana. I think its the manager. She is a jerk. Doesnt care about customers at all. She should not be working in customer service. Put her in a warehouse stacking boxes. Shes be more useful there.
