    This is a nice quiet place to enjoy a cup or two of coffee, meet a friend, read your favorite book, get some work done or just relax.

    Will start by saying I have no issue with staff. Service has always been fine at this location. I…read moredo have issue with corporate. I tried contacting them directly, but was unable to submit an email with their form--it kept erroring out. I suspect they don't want to hear any complaints. Went in for breakfast sandwich; ham, Swiss on baguette with dijon mustard. Got to my car, took a bite...NO dijon. Opened whole thing up...nothing. Went back in to ask for dijon (as stated in-app menu and on the label) and was told sandwiches are all premade and they do not keep any in their store. Took it home and added dijon. But the ham was sweet and way over-salted and it wasn't good, either way. Only thing good on that sandwich was the baguette. Their breakfast menu item quality has gone down. I used to like their egg, sausage and cheddar on English muffin--it was better than the competition. But last time I ordered one (about 2 months ago) the savory sausage had been replaced with a smaller, different maple sausage and it ruined it for me. Not a fan of sweet sausage and didn't appreciate the change. Given my experience today, perhaps someone in the corporate kitchen mucked it up. When I asked about it, nobody could tell me if there had been a change in ingredients. I can tell that store staff is also frustrated with corporate. Starbucks used to be a breakfast go-to for me when I have to travel in Valley Springs, but they can't even seem to follow their own menu when making their pre-made sandwiches and I couldn't even contact corporate to let them know they have an issue. Won't be doing any starbucks, anytime soon. I am usually willing to give a restaurant another shot after a mixup or change--which is why I tried the ham/swiss sandwich today. That is now two poor experiences in a row spread out over two months--one too many for me.

    Had to wait 15 minutes for my order of a very simple drink with an almost empty store. It appeared…read morethey were not organized whatsoever.
