Crema's Take

This is a Starbucks location inside a bookstore, and the 3.7 rating reflects a consistent problem: staff are slow, dismissive, and frequently get orders wrong, with waits regularly stretching past 15 minutes for a basic drink. Multiple reviewers report rude interactions and a sense that customizing your order is treated as an inconvenience rather than part of the job. If you need coffee while browsing books, the convenience might be worth it; otherwise, you're better off finding another location.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. Parking available.

Everyone who works at the Starbucks has a terrible attitude. Didn’t get my drink right and they make you feel bad for customizing your drink. No sense of urgency either. Lines get long and the works don’t seem to care and take their sweet time.

Update:once I eventually got my small iced chai latte a half hour later, it was the entirely wrong drink. I ended up just leaving it. I have previously been a barista and worked my way up to trainer. Our Starbucks has won awards for our customer service and sales. I have never…
