Starbucks Coffee - Los Alamos

Note that as of June 5, 2023 the street address for this location is correct, but the pin is in the wrong place. Thus if you “get directions” to this Starbucks, you will end up at the former (now shuttered) location. Type in the new street address (1247 Trinity) to go to the new, very lovely Starbucks. After finding the new location, we had a great experience on a Sunday morning. Drinks came out quickly despite a good number of customers inside and going through the drive through. There’s a big outdoor covered patio with comfortable seating (big chairs with side tables as well as regular tables and chairs) complete with ceiling fans for when it heats up. It’s an oasis off the main drag and I’d be happy to return again.

There is no Starbucks at this location. If you work here, start a union so it stays open and the people that know how to run it take care of it instead of someone in Seattle.

Worst Starbucks. Randomly closed or out of ingredients. Some rude staff while others are great. Sum all that up, they have really bad management.

Terrible, empty location. Traffic on Trinity Drive easily traps you inside the parking lot. Especially true after 4pm when workers at Lab get off and are leaving town. Also impossible to turn into during that period if you are coming from direction of Smiths. The place is large, clean, and largely empty with all the warmth and pleasant vibes of an airport Starbucks. Why they moved from the more easily accessible and central location across the Post Office is beyond me. The drive-thru is slow and you can't easy get there from nearby office buildings around Central Park Square area. To walk or bike there, you have to cross the busiest street in town. The Starbucks inside Smiths just a block down the same road has better parking, accessibility, and warmth than this place.

Incredibly rude employee named Candy. Went through the drive through for drinks and there was a misunderstanding between (presumably) the person who took my order, the person who made the order, and myself. I nicely asked for my drink to be remade and clarified before the second drink was also made incorrectly (no ones fault). Then I hear a woman, named Candy, loudly b*tching about me over and over again until the male employee closed the window when he realized I could hear them. The other employees seemed friendly enough but it was incredibly rude for absolutely no reason. Smh.
