Starbucks - Dallas

The service is poor , the baristas they look like they are the owner of the place , they don’t have customer services skill and the store manager even worse, for someone who work with food and beverage have that horrible beard someone should do something . This days nobody wanna work or be kind how difficult is just get a coffee , they should be trained to sell coffee and experience, but looks like the people working at this store they think their job is ruined your morning

This Starbucks is both a local hangout place for the Park Cities crowd as well as shoppers for the boutique shops of Highland Park Village. This isn’t your corner Starbucks worth a drive through on the way to work place. It’s a go in to to get your coffee and or bit to eat. See the mix of people. Sit down in one of the managers choices inside extends way back, or outside under the spacious covered sidewalk. The pre dawn mornings start with the walkers and the joggers, the rise and shine gym goers, the early morning medical scrub wearers and the first responders taking a break. Later it’s moms and strollers, high schoolers picking up something on the way to their prep school in uniforms. Then the casual one on one business get together over coffee along with the solo workers on computers camped out in the back. It’s like watching the full demographic of the community walk the doors as the day progresses. It’s not about the expensive coffee, it’s paying for the people watching and community experience. Sadly this is all coming to an end in early 2024. HP Village owners decided to not renew their lease ending February 2024. The local regulars fear yet another French fashion brand too expensive to be practical will take its place for wide eyed tourist to shop.

Friendly people and a very elegant (as expected) location. Easy parking and lots of great seating options! Plenty of stuffed chairs. Downside was when I visited the AC must have been downbecause it was sweating hot in back side of the store. Not what I’d expect for the area, and especially not on a 107 degree day. The main seating area was cool but where the majority of the seats are was a furnace. I ended up sitting in my car. Service: Take out
