Starbucks

Had an event Saturday evening and errands wanted get a coffee or tea. It was only 10pm and every place was closed so looked up the newest Starbucks and open til midnight. This was nice to find out as cinemark theatre is across from them. I had a green tea and dave had Carmel Macchiato. Plenty of tables and sitting areas and was nice to see so many people just hanging out enjoying their coffee. I look forward to sitting on patio when weather warms
just thrilled to find out the hours!

The place is very nice. Also, the staff are really nice. they took my order when I came 2 minutes before the store closes!

so I went to this Starbucks earlier today and although my latte was good the workers were disrespectful to the company itself. They were talking about how they will never pay for Starbucks a day in their lives and how it so expensive and not that good which frankly made me feel they viewed me as stupid for being there. Customers are what keep the business going and them in a job and it was just so horrible to hear that while standing right there. It really needs to be addressed because that’s not only rude to me it’s rude to the business itself.

Pros
typically a quick drive through
Most baristas are friendly and efficient
Never had an issue with my drink
Cons
Smaller location — inside can be tight
Limited parking — typical Starbucks
Tough to turn left going south on Hudson into the building — almost faster to turn at the light and go around the building, again, not a huge issue.

I have yet to go inside, but I’m usually on my way to Campus. The drive through guys are funny in the morning and sweet.

Baristas aren’t consistent.
The first time I ordered the new Flat White it was Perfect… I’ve had it 3 times since and its a milky mess. The shots aren’t being properly done and it’s disappointing. I even called and spoke to a manager who was very sweet & told me to come back in to get it remade. Went back and still the same. Very milky and not strong like the first time.
I understand they are training but when I worked at the Graham rd location the ppl training me there were very picky and precise about the quality.
So I don’t know if here at this location the trainers aren’t on top of things? It’s a shame too because once you don’t work for them the discount doesn’t apply— and thus, the drinks are costly and add up. For a $ 5 coffee I expect a bit more precision.

Been here three times. Finding it to be average at best. Service in the drive thru so-​so. Last visit took forever for 2 hot chocolates– and then no apology. Person ‘taking’ money never said a word. For a brand new location, I’m surprised.

Pros: All of the baristas who work here are incredibly friendly, the drinks taste just as good as they do at every other Starbucks in the world, & the space is very clean/​new/​Starbucksy.
But the cons (which are not the fault of the kind people who work there) are really keeping me from giving this particular location any additional stars. HERE GOES.
For a brand new Starbucks, you’d think they could’ve done a better job of designing it. Alas, this ENORMOUS SPACE, which looks to be two stories high, is in fact just one story with very high ceilings, & it seats only about 15 people.
One story, a smattering of tables, four comfy chairs, a massive, poorly designed bar/​line space, & giant windows that keep it from feeling even the slightest bit cozy. Want a view of beautiful State Road while you sip your tea? You got it! And if you’re looking to spend a little bit of time in this Starbucks, say chatting with friends or getting some work done on your laptop, don’t do it in the winter. The massive double doors are right in the middle of the seating area, blasting everyone inside with cold air every time someone enters or exists.
Finally, my standard Akron-​area Starbucks gripe: WHY NO FOOD? I don’t understand why the Akron area’s Starbucks stores don’t have sandwiches & snack boxes like in other cities. I’d become accustomed to having lunch at Starbucks, staying for a few hours with a latte, a protein box, a sandwich… but like every other Starbucks in the Akron area, this one has only boxed, microwaved pastries. Not even a tray of bananas.
I actually like this Starbucks, really, because the staff is so friendly, the location is so convenient, & the space is bright. In warm weather, this Starbucks is a great little spot, when you can find a seat. But I am still so frustrated by some of the lack of thought in the planning process that I feel inclined to rant.

Brand New location! Nicely done with plenty of room for hanging out and having a coffee with friends or your special someone, or having a little business one on one. In the summer it will be even better as there is a nice size outdoor patio. There is also a drive-​thru for your convenience. So far the staff there has been awesome and are very friendly.
The only downside is limited parking right next to the Starbucks itself. There’s plenty within the vicinity but you’ll have to walk a little further if you don’t luck out and get a close spot. I guess it’s good for you though if you can handle it.
