After dinner, I decided to drop by this Starbucks that was next door to see if I could pick up a treat. Looks are deceiving. This cafe looks small when you stand in front of it. However, when you open the door, there's a huge seating area on the left. It's a large cafe. Maybe it's because it doesn't have a drive-thru. There were lots of folks seated, sipping on a beverage, munching on baked goods, and chatting. It looked like a cool place to chill. It felt relaxed. I stood in line behind a couple of customers. It allowed me to figure out what I wanted. I looked at the lemon loaf slice in the display case. I hadn't had one in ages. Okay, I'll get it. Well, all that changed when I spotted the snowman cookies. I have had one so far this winter. It was the one with red earmuffs and a scarf. I spotted a blue version. I wanted it instead. I got the friendliest, cheerful woman when I got to the order area. I grabbed the snowman with the blue earmuffs and scarf. I let her know that I was here for the snowman cookie and that I'm late to the party. She smiled. She let me know that the Valentine's Day heart-shaped sugar cookies were out, too. Oh, no! She said that I should go with the snowman cookie since I had my heart set on it. I agreed. More choices weren't good here. I got my Starbucks card scanned off my phone. Done! She handed me my cookie. I thanked her and happily left with my treat. I had it today. It was buttery, sugary, and yummy. I don't visit Starbucks as much as I used to. I'm so glad that the snowman cookie still exists. I have had it for years and the yearly tradition to devour at least one continues. I had a great experience. I'll definitely return when I'm in the area. (15)

There are a few places that I need to review again. My local Starbucks is one of them…read more I have been a customer here for over a decade, well before I knew what Yelp was. I have met some fine baristas over the years, who have gone on to different careers because working here got them through college or university. This store has a high turnover of baristas, mainly because it's often a training store. I am a pretty patient person and I don't mind being a part of their training process. Lately, the current set of staff have not made my experiences pleasant. It has been building since the early part of 2021. One time, I decided to redeem my points towards a tumbler using the Starbucks app. It said that the tumbler was in stock. I also ordered a drink. When I approached the drive-thru, I indicated that I had a mobile order. The man said that it was out of stock. I stated that the app had it available. He maintained that he didn't have it and that he'd give me a refund in the form of a gift card, rather than reloading stars. I talked to this barista, who was the lead this day. I asked why the app didn't reflect their inventory. He simply told me to contact their head office. Um, no. It's not my responsibility to get your lack of updating your inventory and syncing it with your mobile app. The onus is on Starbucks to fix these issues. Telling me to report it is lazy. I'm reporting it to you now. Make it happen. During the same visit, I had another barista ask whether I had ordered "just" an iced black tea. The use of "just" by main staff members here is unnecessary and was ongoing for at least two months. To confirm that you have my order, rattle it off without the "just." I usually reply by saying, "It's only me. One drink is enough." My alternative is, "You aren't just a barista. You are a barista that folks would think that you do important work." Why just? Just do you job by not implying that my order isn't as large as you'd like it to be. I took up that beef with the lead. He indicated that his team often has chats and will discuss it. I will say that I don't get "just a drink" thrown at me as often these days, but coming here to deal with this nonsense has made me drop by less often than I used to. There are a couple of regular barista that I enjoy seeing and chatting with. There are some new ones who are pleasant and great getting my orders from. However, I simply don't enjoy coming here. The lines are often long and I have often waited half an hour for my drink. I am patient, but I see that other Starbucks cafes near me do not make me wait that long and are far more pleasant. The latest experience was ordering through the app, indicating that I had a mobile order, getting to the window, and being advised that staff were brewing black tea. The barista said that someone would come out with my drink in five minutes and that I should park off to the side. I first parked in the parking lot. Ten minutes went by. Nothing. I then parked in front of the patio. No one. Illegally parked, I put on my mask and headed towards the front door. I was met by a barista who had no clue who he was handing the drink off to until my eyes met his. I was thankful for my drink, but waiting fifteen minutes for it was longer than promised or anticipated. There is plenty of parking. I'd avoid parking in front of the cafe because it does get busy with Popeyes and Jeon Ju Hyang next door. Here's hoping that things get better. In the meantime, I'm averaging a visit here once a week or two because it's no longer my favourite place to grab a drink. Sad, but true. (351)

I spent about four hours shopping and was thirsty. I ordered a grande iced peach green tea. The barista taking my order was cheerful and polite. As I was waiting for my drink, another barista cleaning and stocking up the straws asked how I was doing. Sometimes, I don't care for the small talk, but I was good with it today. It was a fairly slow period for staff there. My drink was made promptly and correctly. I still don't get why folks think I want lemonade in my drink when I have never uttered the word. I just don't care for the extra sweetness, even though I love lemons. It's a good Starbucks. (143)

There is a lot of seating, its lit nicely, its clean, and the folks that work here are super! Ask them anything about your drink or treat! I know I know its pricy but I like what I get. I usually get the chai latte. I get it lactose free. They have three options. One - lactose free milk, Two - soy (its nice try it), Three - with coconut milk (its new trying it right now, I like it, doesn't over power). The chai latte is spicy and creamy. Get it without water for a really strong spice kick, that's how I like it. My other go to drink is the cinnamon dulce latte, equally a delight. Treats, I like the oat fudge bars,scones, and coojies. Chocolate goodness. Ask them to heat it up for you for an extra special treat! Sandwiches, this is going to sound gross but its delicious. I love the Thai tuna wrap - heated up. They'll question if you really want to, but trust me you do! I am also completely obsessed with the the feta and spinach breakfast wrap. Yum!

After work, I was in the area running an errand. I needed some dinner and stopped by Firehouse Subs. I noticed when I was parked in front of the eatery that there was a Starbucks drive-thru sign steps away from me. I looked over some more and there was a Starbucks at the corner of World Drive and Hurontario Street. I have stayed at the Fairfield and Residence Inn hotels nearby in the past. I never thought about finding the closest Starbucks cafe for a beverage. I now know that this one exists. On the Starbucks app, it has a polar bear cake pop on the menu. I decided to get one here. I placed my order and then took my time hitting the drive-thru. The drive-thru is one of the nicer ones out there. It is closest to the side of Firehouse Subs. It curves until you get to the order area. It then curves again to get to the pickup window. What's special is that the drive-thru lane is wide. Larger vehicles would be fine using it. The woman at the speaker area was nice. She went to look for my order, found it, and said that I could drive up to the window. At the window, I got a different woman who was friendly and handed me my cake pop in a paper bag and wished me a nice evening. I returned the same sentiment and left. I had my cake pop as I drove home. It had a bit of an indentation, which looked like the polar bear had a dimple. The polar bear's face was cute. This cake pop was on the sweeter side thanks to the icing. The vanilla cake was moist and yummy. It had buttercream mixed in, which was sweet, but not as bas as the icing. I'm glad that I dropped by. The cake pop was yummy, but it is sweet. I dig the drive-thru. Customer service was wonderful. I'll be back when I'm in the area. (410)
