The Starbucks Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino blended beverage was delicious as usual.But the crew, management, or ownership should seriously look into what was attracting the dozen or so flies I saw swarming around the counter.It was a serious turn off.Caused me to nearly leave without ordering.Curious to know if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Absolutely amazing. My favorite coffee place since I grew up where the original Starbucks is located. Just wish the size of the cups had not shrank. Love pumpkin spice time of the year. 🎃

Absolute ghost town inside, and now I understand why. They are only focused on the drive-thru. Ordered our drinks inside and waited 25 minutes, and finally had to tell them we still didn’t have our drinks. Had to wait another 10 for our drinks to be made. Won’t be back.

Weve gone here several times. Today was not so good. No only was my drink not right, but someone else came in & the same thing happened to her. The batista tried to explain this is how its done, but remade mine, it was still bad. The other lady came out & her drink was different then what they originally had given her. It appears the batistas there today were very new. And there were so many flies in there this morning.

Over-priced, burnt coffee... Drive-thru attendant was about as smart as a a box of rocks... Paid with cash, exact change (order was $9.18) handed him $10.18 and watched mass confusion set in... Literally took the register and a coworker to explain to him I was owed $1 in change. Speaks volumes about our nation as a whole today...

Very friendly staff, the best one in the Prien Lake Area and orders made correctly. My only problem is when things can be done to better assist the customer, they don’t. Maybe something to talk about the next team meeting?

Its a great locations. Nice open spaces and a very large table where groups could meet. Its also one of the few Starbucks that actually has a changing stations in the womens RR. Bonus!!! Friendly staff and quick at taking your order and making your drinks. They also have a drive thru and arent far from 210.

We ordered 3 drinks. One was missing ingredients and tasted terrible. The second one had strawberries that were overly frozen. The third drink was fine. Maybe a new staff member prepared them? Not sure, but what I do know is we don’t pay money and entrust our business to be disappointed like this. Do better.

Person in drive thru was very very rude. Went to window and gave me wrong drink. I told her and she rolled her eyes and closed the window. Left me holding the wrong drink. Told her to get her manager a d she came to the window with an attitude. I told her just give me the drink I paid for and she told me to get out of her line. She gave me another drink still wrong one and SLAMMED THE WINDOW IN MY FACE. She slammed it so hard I know she broke it. I have never been treated so rudely. Never ever been treated so bad. P .s I had another encounter where I had a bug in my drink and they were very apologetic and gave me a gift card. I visit this establishment at least 5x a week. I’m very disappointed, especially in management.

I come to this location when I visit Lake Charles never had any issues with my coffee until today! There was 1 car in front of me n they took forever. I get to window gentleman hands me my cup of coffee with stains all over, no sticker with my order n as I taste my drink it was the worse coffee. Will not return here

Review №31

Normally great service, love this location, but not today. New record for a bad Starbucks experience. 24 minutes for a decaf. When I ordered it, app said 9-11min. So I was not expecting speedy service. But they did not even start it until I walked in the door at 11min. Guess next time I will sit in the drive-thru and let it back up. Gotta use up a bunch of stars this month, not looking good.

Best part about Starbucks is you will get the exact same drink in any city in every state. Weary travelers like to count on some things that dont change. I do feel Starbucks could offer a small discount for those who bring their own reusable cup as an incentive for customers to bring their reusable cups back again & again.

Review №46

We only had one car in front of us in the drive thru line and it took 20+ minutes to get 2 drinks. Its too hot to be melting in a car while waiting at this location. Plus we ordered extra caramel and it was most definitely the normal amount. Going to stick to the Starbucks at the Kroger grocery store in Sulphur, or pass on Starbucks altogether in this area.

Review №48

This used to be my favourite Starbucks! Today I was in the drivethru, the girl at the speaker didnt even acknowledge that I was there for several minutes. When I got to the window, the girl, Cheddar (who I assume was also at the speaker) was very rude and looked like she wanted to be anywhere except for her job. I saw my drink sitting on the counter and she took her sweet time to give it to me. Terrible service! She needs to be trained with customer service because she has none. I hope no one else has to be treated like that by her. Ill be using the Starbucks on Ryan from now on! Very dissatisfied!

Review №49

SLOW!!! Out of vanilla syrup...how are you out of a basic flavor of syrup.... have been in line for over 20 minutes stuck in the drive thru (no way to get out until you order) - person taking orders had no clue what we were saying when we ordered.

They are efficient, but they tend to let their political views show. ..I just want a freaking coffee not advised that my political views are right or wrong..... Just coffee... No cream.... No sugar.... Just coffee.

Review №56

As a newbie to the Realm of Starbucks, I really appreciate seeing how the baristas will actually take the time to walk you through an order, explaining in clear detail of whatever a customer may inquire. The ambiance is great for working on a laptop, making a phone call, or having a conversation. The outdoor patio is a prime place for some peace and quiet, barring weather conditions.Although a bit pricey, I highly recommend both Starbucks and this Prien Lake Rd. locale to anyone.

Starbucks is Starbucks. We usually going theyre as a last resort of we cant find anything else in the area. We were traveling, so we went here. They did a good job on our drinks, and were fast. But the bathrooms were very neglected! Pretty gross for a place that serves good, if you ask me!!!

My debit card with the chip wouldnt take on their card reader for some reason, so the manager was nice enough to give me the coffee I ordered on the house. Its the little acts of kindness like that that make this place a definite must to visit.

Review №72

This is the absolute worst Starbucks anyone could possibly visit. In the past the have been slow but today buts an all time new record. We sat in the drive thru line for 30 mins yes 30 minutes. Finally got to the window and wasn’t acknowledged for 3 mins then after cashier takes payment passes only one drink off when another is sitting next to it. She walks off to get the pastries for what seemed about 5 mins while the frap melts and the refresher sits and waits. The cashier didn’t know what belonged to our order I had to tell her since she had zero sense of urgency. I am a good card holder and I tell you this location is absolutely horrible. If you are in a rush or not in a rush 30 minutes is way over the top. The the way the wait you would have thought they were giving away free coffee today.I would give zero stars if I could.

Review №73

I have been to a lot of Starbucks all over America and I have to say that most of them have staff that is really kind and friendly so I was a little taken back with how this team works. This location isnt very friendly in my opinion. I do use the drive-thru more than I go inside. I will say a plus to this location the drinks have always been great and always correct and that makes me happy.

Review №74

I dont partake of the food, I feel its overpriced; and, pre made. The coffee is first class, but then, that depends on if its a trained barista or a trainee making it.More than once Ive experienced a cup of Joe with the grounds included. They did make it right and informed the person responsible, next time I came.

Where is the seating? Tables? Its a Starbucks its suppose to be fancy and snobby. Where are the couches!? Service was ok. I could tell the kid was new so not mad about that. But the chairs and couches!? If I want to sit at a table to drink coffee Ill go to Macdonalds, if Im gonna spend $5 on a cup I expect my butt to be sitting on something comfortable while I sip it.

Went out of my way to get to this Starbucks. Ordered a Black & White Mocha. Got down the road a couple miles a found out I got a hot chocolate instead. With the traffic it was too much to turn around, but when I tried calling the store either the number is wrong or they just ignore you.
