I go to this Starbucks frequently for late night pick-me ups and the staff is always so friendly. The drinks are always great and the food is perfect. I unfortunately made an online order where the product was not available in store like the app had said. The staff were so wonderful about handling the situation. Highly recommend!

I do not normally do this type of review, but this location is definitely getting an "A" for effort & potential. I was routinely getting terrible service from this location until I finally just gave up on it a few weeks ago after trying to resolve matters privately. BUT, I complained to the manager who explained he is new at this location and doing his best to turn this place around. He was honest about the issues. He was so incredibly nice and sincere that it is impossible to give up on them. I guess since he is a former firefighter from Baltimore County (did I get that right??), if he can rush into a burning building to save lives, he might actually be able to turn this place around. That said, I visited today for the first time since my encounter with him, and I was greeted in an unhurried manner by two different friendly people who gave me everything I ordered. Thank you! Now I want to rally behind them and encourage all to give them another chance.

We stopped here briefly for coffee as we were passing through. The store was very clean and the coffee was typical Starbucks. All the baristas we're also very nice. I would go here again.

Update to this review: Since the incident below, they have improved and been consistent with great service including today. Clearly called my name for my order and very quick. The young lady who took my order was extremely helpful. Updating my service & overall score to a 5, thank you! This location is typically good, but the morning rush can provide varying experiences. This morning I walked in for a mobile order drink, but there were two women waiting in line standing ahead of me to place orders. I thought about ordering a breakfast item, but all 3 of us stood there without being greeted or acknowledged for 5 minutes. Eventually, one of the women stated, “this is the worst customer experience” & walked out a few minutes later. It creates an awkward atmosphere if you’re a regular at this location. The gentleman had his back to the counter the entire 5 minutes & was working on breakfast items. I understand his thought process, but during the morning rush, you’re going to have an endless number of breakfast items coming in. At some point, you have to turn around & greet the customers that have walked in & let them know that you’re occupied, but you’ll be with them momentarily. Finally the other woman begged for someone to take her order as she was on the way to take her husband to the hospital. He stated he was trying to move as fast as he could, and I don’t think anyone would’ve minded, but it was like we weren’t standing there. As an avid mobile app user, I know how many orders are coming in through the drive-thru & on the app while you’re standing in line waiting; 5 minutes is the difference between possibly an additional 10 to 20 minutes depending on the store volume. The baristas are typically friendly & upbeat, and they move as fast as they can. However, the customer service during the morning rush could be a better balancing act between staff & customer. Providing honest feedback because I know how hard these shifts can be, & no one intentionally did anything wrong, but there just wasn’t any communication.

It’s been a while since my cappuccino didn’t taste like a cup of warm milk. Whoever made my cappuccino today nailed it. So delicious, thank you!
