This Starbucks is not bad at all. Recently I found a huge turnover of partners that are new and from other stores, with hopes in turning the store around.
Today I came in with my boyfriend, and both of us used to work at Starbucks, so our standards are more critical than most. We ordered our regular drinks, a quad grande americano, and a grande coffee misto. Both of which were absolutely delicious and met our standards.
The store itself was clean, there was a line and the cafe was full, but that's a good thing! Starbucks is very aware of when to come out and do a bus to tidy up the cafe. I didn't stay and sit, but if I did I always enjoy the atmosphere of this location, plus the fact it has Victoria Park right across the street where you can take your coffee and walk around. That's quite an advantage for the store.
The Manager is a long standing partner of Starbucks and always does a wonderful job with his baristas.
I'll be back here often, not only because the location is close to my place, but because of the people.
Good job Central & Richmond. read more
