So sad this Starbucks went from everyone's neighborhood country coffee shop, to the lefts DEI hire for manager and changed everything. Where good music was once played, country classics, rock and roll classics, etc. There now is Mexican music most don't understand playing, no life behind the counter and the lobby is empty. Cindy was amazing and the heart of this place...... read more

So nice and my coffee was always made correctly. They use the perfect amount of cream for lattes and give a great amount of cold foam without having to ask for extra read more

I saw a friend at Starbucks. I ordered a caramel apple spice. Yum the fragrance was wonderful. I took a seat while we gabbed. I didn't have anything in my cart that was perishable. We got caught up and I continued on my way. Shared parking lot and WiFi. read more

My reasoning for such a low rating is not because of the baristas, but because of the store manager, Serafin. I overheard the way he spoke to one of the baristas and it was disgustingly rude, backhanded, and condescending. I could never tolerate working under a manager with such an insufferable attitude. Besides that, coffee tasted good and the young lady at the register was darling. read more

I was waiting for an oil change and thought I'd swing in. This location has plenty of room to move around in. Its nice and tidy (yes I checked for dust on the shelves). A young man named Micha was training and was very helpfull. He asked if I needed extra Carmel or if I wanted my wrap for here or to go. When my order was ready he brought it to me. To take the time and bring it was that extra special mile that keeps me coming back. Thank you to Micha and Starbucks team. I'll definitely be back! read more

Got ripped off on a dark roast. I went into this store and I specifically asked if they had dark roast brewed which they said yes. I paid for the drink, and then they proceeded to pour me a medium roast. I told them "you said you had dark roast brewed" and they said" well this is our dark roast right now. Well, hello.... a medium roast is not a dark roast. You would think a coffee place would get that, but apparently they don't. they want to pass off medium roast as a dark roast. makes you wonder how many people they lie to on a daily basis. I left without getting a dark roast or any coffee after paying for it. read more

I love the workers, come here way too often for how much I get paid. But today a tragedy occurred. I ordered a chocolate croissant but was given a cheese danish or whatever it's called. Yuck. (And yes I did eat the pastry around the cheese and left the cheese part alone) They still deserve five stars though, love y'all. read more

Ok, I'm all for Starbucks and the new rules but when I walk into a Starbucks to use the bathroom and the person working goes out of their way to tell me "these are for customers only" that is absolutely unacceptable when I am a customer of Starbucks and god forbid the location was 100% empty and I'm the only customer and had to use the bathroom since I was just stuck in traffic after I just witnessed someone die in a motorcycle accident. I'm disgusted by this being a long time customer and daily supporter of Starbucks. Maybe you should have people scan their loyalty points to use the bathroom with these policies. Kinda shitty. read more

I have gone to this Starbucks for years but recently moved and have not been in for a few months. It is a Saturday. There is only one couple ditting in the lobby. I walked up to the counter and got an absent greeting saying, " hi we'll be with you in a moment. ". I waited as other employees walked by me and nobody acknowledged me or took my order. I only get tea and good items here and I can certainly buy that cheaper at the other places nearby. This experience definitely made me a person who will go anywhere but Starbucks. read more

Worst experience I have ever had at Starbucks . We ordered 5 drinks and to have the barista roll her eyes at me when I asked for a straw . Is down right disappointing. Will not be coming back. read more

I love this location. I've been ordering from here for over 6 years. The service is always fast and the associates are always so kind to me. Everything I've ever ordered has been accurate and delicious. read more

Pretty small location and easy access off cave creek highway. We'd been hiking for hours and wanted a small pick me up. I ordered a tea while my son ordered a frappe and also a water. It was fairly busy when we came in, but were greeted quickly and paid for our drinks. Mine was made pretty quick, but no name announced and it was kinda thrown towards us with no eye contact ‍. I waited for a bit to make sure it was mine...then waited, waited, waited and waited through about 10 drinks for my sons. Again no name or eye contact so we picked them up and left. Service was great until the end. I'm realizing this is the norm service when you go to Starbucks. read more

Out of all the Starbucks in the valley this location off of Carefree hwy has the worst customer service. Mani the barista has constantly harassed me to bring my own personal cup to refill my drink. Here is what he had said " Why don't you bring your own water bottle instead or wasting our cups" in an angry tone. In my opinion very unsanitary for them to be touching outside items. I do not come to this location everyday. After so many uncomfortable interactions at the drive through, I've decided to leave a review. read more

This is new location. The one two blocks down has closed. It's much better location in my opinion; easy in and out. They have nice patio seating and inside is very spacious. Everything you expect from Starbucks in terms of food and drinks. However, I had to dock a star because they were busy today but they only had one barista and one cashier. Ordering ahead on the app didn't help me today in having my order ready on arrival. They also have drive-thru which made the process lot slower. Other than that, it was clean and inviting location. I've tried their home style chicken & double-smoked bacon sandwich for quick lunch today. It didn't look very appetizing but it tasted really good. read more

I had to wait over 10 minutes just to get a cup of coffee. The workers are hustling but they are short staff

sometimes the drive thru can be a little chaotic for those using it but i've always had a pleasant experience getting a drink and working here. everyone in the morning during the week is always getting along & efficient. i cant speak for any other time or day. also the bathroom is always clean when i go in it which is super important. read more

The Hours listed are wrong as usual ...i showed up about 6:20 to umbrellas down and all the star employees lazily annoyed by the presence of my patronage despite being an occasional customer, as their plot of falsely portraying a closed Starbucks started to unravel. The case that is usually filed with delightful treats had already been emptied in what appeared to be wreckless abandon ... when confronted and questioned about the whereabouts of the pastries Codi had the audacity to lie stating that "everything is gone" only to be corrected by a remorseful employee whose conscience gave in to the cruelty of the facade and admitted to having blueberry scones and banana bread. As Codi descended sheepishly into the back room to hide from the shame of being exposed by his lies, the show continued. An elderly employee emerged from the back room with a mop bucket and began mopping the floor in what felt like an attempt to induce a sense of guilt for the inconvenience of my presence so close to the end of everybody's shift. After placing my order, i absconded back to my vehicle for safety having uncovered the web of deception that keeps patrons away in the final hours of business at Starbucks. read more

Typical SB. I want to write something special but it is just like the majority of SB in the USA. I love to post about a unique SB but this is not one. It is nice and typical of most of the coffee shops they set up. I love to eat the lemon cake. You can find that in all SB. read more

Best Starbucks in my experience Quick service positive attitude and good coffee, great muffins :) read more

I've been going to this location consistently for the past several years and I can see that there's a huge noticeable difference whenever the manager is not working. Avoid the drive-through at all costs. If the manager isn't working, you can expect to wait up to 20 minutes regularly. One time I was in the drive-through for so long I had to call and ask what was going on and they simply stated that they had spilled a drink when I got to the window It was clear that there was no rush with the team and there wasn't anyone in the lobby, still it took 20+ minutes to get through the drive-through. It's definitely worth driving to a different location to get the same quality a drink at a quarter of the time. read more

cindy is so so sweet! she was so helpful this morning with the busy line! absolutely a ray of sunshine!

I stop by this location Friday mornings after Yoga at Yoga Breeze (check them out!). My typical order is an Iced Tea and a Protein Box. Gotta eat healthy after the Flow class with Rachel and usually starving by then. Compared to other Starbucks locations I find this one to be clean, with great service and they always get my order right. Although an unsweetened Iced Tea is pretty easy to make. read more

If your system is down tell people so we don't get stuck in line for 10 minutes. Then the gal working was giving written directions to a customer holding us up even longer. read more

the best morning crew! i am there at 5:30am- 5 out of 7 days typically... every single person is always happy and cheerful! they have my order ready (mobile order) they even have my side of heavy cream & water ready to go. i never have to ask... that's something you cannot note on the mobile order app & they all simply remember that little detail and have it ready. just shows they care about their customers! jess is the sweetest and i always feel im having a quick morning chat with a friend. even when they are busy they still take a moment to say hello and wish me a great day. there are 3 other starbucks drive thrus on my way to work and i choose this because of the employees! ive never had an issue with an order but i know if there was theyd take care of it without hesitation. the best! 10/10 read more

This place is ridiculous. They never close at the time they say they do. Supposedly they close at 6, why? That is super early but then you get before 6 and it's already closed like WTH. read more

The people that work there were very nice but they got my order completely wrong! A little disappointed . They have nut products and I am allergic to nuts I'm pretty sure it's in my drink because I'm not feeling well because of it. read more

Worst place to grab a coffee especially if you are limited for time. What kind of coffee place is out of coffee in the morning??? Especially Starbucks!!!! Really??? I ordered a tall black coffee and had to wait for 10 min in line then asked to pull forward they were brewing! Took over 15 min to get a cup of coffee! Good grief read more

One time there was a llama on the patio, that was pretty cool. Other than that, this place is pretty inconsistent. It seems like it's the training hub or something since there is always someone new working. There are a couple of people that rock, but overall it's too recognizably inconsistent. read more

There is nothing more pleasing than a happy face and a big smile at a drive-through. Just ordered coffee at the Starbucks off of Carefree highway and Cavecreek Road, and was served by Sabrina. What a great attitude read more

Total waste of money. 4 coffees and they fucked up 3. Then when they remade my skinny mocha, tastes like burnt shit. Get it together . Coffee isn't hard read more

Not so easy in and out but very large seating area, nice patio. Drive thru is quick and the speakers are CLEAR

Typical Starbucks. Nice small patio where you get a lot of road noise from Carefree highway, but not too much to sit and relax. The old problem here, and the reason for dropping a star, Is the flies. There are always tons of flies inside. They mostly congregate on the windows, but I also see them on the tables and in the prep area. Ive seen an exterminator here try to catch them one at a time on fly paper, but the problem has persisted as long as this location has been open. Its bad enough to stop is from ordering any food that isn't sealed. Hopefully they get it worked out because the location is great for us and the staff is excellent. read more

Ordered a drink with No Whipped Cream through mobile app... confirmed it was ordered correctly, as it was printed on the label... but I got a double serving of Whipped Cream. What a waste of my money. No one gave a damn and corporate office hung up on me. Incredible Refunding my money from this app and going elsewhere! read more

I don't review much but I have to say every Sat I come to this Starbucks and every Saturday the barista there makes me laugh and smile. You can see in her face that she enjoys her job. Amy is a pleasure to talk with and I wish more people were as friendly and polite as she is. She makes my day. read more

I love this store so much I had to make a yelp account just to review it! Such a convenient location and amazing employees.

This location is beautiful and the fact that it's the only drive-through Starbucks in the area makes it so convenient! The problem I have is the inconsistency of the drinks. For a company that has pretty extensive training on how to make drinks you would think the drinks would consistently taste the same every single time but at this location they never managed to get it right. Maybe one out of ten times do I get a drink that taste like it should. So now I just basically use this location to redeem my free drinks on the app other than that I would recommend going down the street to Safeway Starbucks because their drinks taste amazing every single time. read more

Absolutely the worst managed Starbucks I've ever been to. Been here a half dozen times and every single time they either couldn't make my drink or food because they didn't have something. Shame on me, not them because I have gone back so many times. Just left there, asked for an iced coffee with NO ice. Got the coffee with ice. Asked them to take the ice out and the woman went on to tell me iced coffee cannot be made without ice. Hahahaha. Told me there is ice in the jug that's why there was ice in my coffee. Couldn't you pour it without the ice? Last time I spend money here. read more

Great service, the food is fresh and the drinks are always great! My favorite Starbucks by far. Keep up the great work!!
