I had never been to a Starbucks before last Saturday. I didn't think it was my thing, with the…read moreprices, language and overall impression given by memes and the internet in general. (And I don't drink coffee.. the smell usually makes me gag.) I was on date night last weekend and we grabbed food from Chick-fila. The food court was sooo chilly so I got a craving for my guest proper Chai Latte of the season. The ordering was quick, the barista friendly and I got my warm goodness quickly. Mispelled my name, of course, but that's Starbucks tradition I hear! It was at least a variation of my name, and I'm used to that Definitely will come back when I make my (very) rare trips to the mall!

Thank goodness for this Starbucks. As if Target needed me to spend more time in its store! I walk…read morein for one item and leave with one cart full more times than not. And that's always the case any trip I start with a coffee in hand. While Panera opens at 8A more times than not in the food court, I have found the Starbucks living in Target to consistently be open earlier... during holidays, etc. (There's another Starbucks in Barnes & Nobel but it doesn't open as early annnnnd is on the other side of the mall!) The baristas are always pleasant. My Redcard gets 5% off my order. My kids always can go for a cake pop-- and they have some that look like Bullseye the Target dog. Pricing is typical, menu as well. Not a ton, but enough seating is available. AND they even have markdowns of coffee/merch occasionally. (Half priced Christmas blend on Dec 26!? Don't mind I do!) The only reason this location isn't a five star is that I always have a cart of kiddos and their aisles are kind of hard to maneuver. Which seems silly because most customers do have a cart. And also, I get WHY they don't have WiFi-- but I'd appreciate if they did :)

There is no excuse for my order being late again and again.

This is a rarity at any Walmart. good for them.

I have bought from Midamar many times over the years. The quality is fantastic and the prices are…read morereasonable if you buy in bulk. The shipping is super speedy and the packaging is really wonderful. I have never had a package sent that was not super cold and everything was just as if I picked it straight out of the freezer or fridge (whichever is relevant). Sometimes there was even a little something extra in the box (Off hand I can remember a whole chicken on one occasion). When I was cooking and shooting photos for a cookbook Midamar was kind of a lifesaver when a halal deli (Top Deck Deli) in Santa Clara closed down and I really needed certain products to achieve my goals. I was able to get pepperoni, salami, turkey roll (it's ham made with turkey thighs but I get why they do not refer to it as ham), and beef bacon which were all needed for the various recipes. We have also tried summer sausage, snack sticks (think slim jims and a way to give in to a major pregnancy craving the halal way), turkey bacon, sausage links (one of the few items I do not like), turkey breast, cotto salami slices, whole chicken, and chicken nuggets (not especially wonderful but my children liked them well enough). The products are so good and convincing in comparison to the traditional pork varieties that even my non-Muslim family members who do eat pork were very impressed with it. In fact my mom is planning on buying the turkey roll (ham) from them she liked it so much. I also think that the anyone looking at the photos of the foods I made with these products would never suspect it was turkey or beef products. The meat shop we visit in San Jose usually carries the products we use on occasion but I much prefer to buy from Midamar directly. As long as they are in business and their quality remains the same or better then I will continue to buy from them and recommend them to others.

The service here was great with cheery workers, and the atmosphere here is great for working. It feels like a cozy log cabin on the inside! Caribou misses a 5 star due to the lack of a wow factor when it comes to there coffee. It doesn't quite hit the "OMFG" levels of places like Cafe Saint Pio (Cedar Rapids) or Zoetic (IC / Solon).
