Starbucks - Leawood

Very nice. This was one of the nicest Starbucks I have been in. The cashier was exceptionally helpful and pleasant! The restrooms were older but clean. The store appeared to be well.taken care of, no trash on the floors the tables were clean and ready for the next patron.

Getting a couple of coffees at Starbucks should be a very easy endeavor. It was not this Sunday morning at 11:45am. There were 4 cars in the drive-thru, so I went inside. There were two other customers inside, one of which was only buying a travel mug. Stood in line for four minutes without being acknowledged, then another 3 minutes until someone wandered out of the back to ask if I had been helped. I attempted to order two grande Christmas blend coffees (they had the placard for this coffee on one of their coffee taps, next to Pikes Place and Veranda . I was told all they had was Pikes Place. I inquired as to why the sign for the other blends were still up and was informed they take them down at 11am. After pointing out that it was indeed 11:55am, I ordered two Pikes Place. I waited an additional three minutes for my coffee, noting the stacks of packaged pastries and sandwiches, and several beverages waiting for mobile customers to pick up. (Since Starbucks began taking mobile pick-up orders, they are usually spread quite thin. However, this experience was just unnecessary. But I will digress and enjoy my coffee.

Shoutout to the early A.M. weekday staff! Very friendly, great service! :

I ordered a hot chocolate. I can find far better hot chocolate somehwre else. The baristas were strange

An iced coffee outside in 100° weather was surprisingly nice.
