They lost their clover machine, but staff was still lovely to talk to and made nice

I'm surprised at the low reviews for this place I have been coming to this particular Starbucks location more frequently, as they have made my drink perfect, each and every time the staff here are friendly, and they greet everyone who walks in, which is so nice!I have done the ordering through the app, and the beverages have always been ready slightly before the quoted time.Parking is a bit of a pain, as the Alexandria Commons plaza is busy all the time the spots fill up quickly, and you may have to park a bit further our or wait for a bit for availability. +well prepared drinks+friendly service+tight parking+located in the Alexandria Commons plaza

I’m usually reticent to leave a negative review for a franchise, but this is one of the less competently run Starbucks franchises I’ve seen in the area, and has been consistently that way as long as I’ve visited it. Employees take much longer than average to acknowledge customers and take orders. They have staff standing around with latte samples instead of behind the counter when there’s a rush, and it’s clear they could be responsive to customers elsewhere. Multiple staff at the register have failed to understand simple orders in native English with clear diction. I’ve seen other locations with equal staff be substantially more effective. Clear room for improvement.

Just ordered a Frappuccino. Clean restroom and property. Friendly staff.
