Exactly the kind of service you hope to see in a Starbucks: friendly, courteous, and fast. Even when a mistake was made, it was quickly rectified with a smile. Huge space to sit and work or chill, too. Usually plenty of seats and tables to choose from so you can pick just the right vibe.

I'm a huge fan of Starbucks and really can't start my day without my coffee. However, their app does not support the drink the way I like it so I always go into the store and order it myself. This was a nightmare. The first day I thought it was just happenstance that I got tepid mostly cold coffee. The second day when I went in and specified 180° and it came out cold and tepid I got angry. I specifically told the barista to remake the drink correctly. He tried. It was still cold and when I asked him if he knew how to get the temperature of the milk up above extra hot he said no. That means these people have not been trained on how to do their job correctly. I don't like being told I'm not allowed to have hot coffee because I'm stupid enough to burn myself and I certainly don't appreciate paying for cold coffee. This place needs to be retrained and reworked
