We were taking our dog to the vet and hubs noticed this Starbucks, which was brand new. I always take my baby for a Puppacino/ Pup Cup after vet appointments so this was more convenient than heading out of way downtown.
We wanted to sit on the patio, drink our coffee, and possibly grab another refill before leaving. Unfortunately, it was very windy, cool, and the fans were on outside. I went in while hubs waited outside with the dog. I was sort of greeted upon walking up to the counter. The menus are now on screens so I was kind of taken aback by that since it has been a while since I've been inside a Starbucks. When I finally decided what to order, the barista was not enthusiastic at all, had a stale personality, and I could barely hear what she was saying.
I waited by the pick up counter and hub's dark roast was given to me first, I ordered a Pistachio Cream Cold Brew, as well as an ice water and pup cup. Those items took longer than 5 minutes and there were no other customers ordering inside. The drive thru was not busy either. There were 3 employees working that I saw so I am unsure why it took so long.
I went to throw out the empty pup cup but there were no garage cans outside. The garbage can immediately inside the patio door was all duct taped shut. The only garbage was by the condiment station and it was overflowing!! The store looked clean though. I am sure we will stop here after our next vet visit but I definitely will not go out of my way to visit here. read more
