This is one of those Starbucks-in-a-store, specifically Krogers. However, I tend to drop by any time I am going to drive back to Columbus since the gas station is right there and convenient, and because I have never had a bad coffee. I have had some...weird...service. About a week ago there was a barista who did not seem to know how to correctly ring up a bill or handle a gift card, and kept trying to charge me the $1.50 or something still left on the card after my order. Despite that, the coffee was very good.
I had excellent service tonight, my most recent visit, with a friendly older woman who made a superb peppermint mocha (oh 'tis the season!). The only problem, of course, is that it is in a grocery store. Yes, there are a couple tables, but this is hardly a place you will want to come and spend much time.
Still, great coffee. And no, not all Starbucks are alike in term of consistent quality. read more
