Starbucks

I hate to be the person who says things like «I’m from where this place started and it’s better there» but in this case I have to. Being from Seattle has thoroughly spoiled me in the Starbucks world. There a Starbucks is busy, fast, and efficient. All things that fail to describe this particular Starbucks. There is no reason for a food item that takes 30 seconds to heat up should take 10 minutes to get to me. Even on the busiest day I’ve never had that issue before at any other location. Not only did they forget to take care of my food for 10 minutes, they then heated something else up ahead of mine and mine came out still cold in the middle. On top of all of that, knowing full well they had missed my order, they stuck it on the bar and didn’t tell me it was ready, I had to go hunt out down. I’m sorry, but I don’t live here and I can’t imagine ever coming back to this Starbucks if I come through Lewiston again. With their lackadaisical attitude and poor follow through coupled with sub par service and speed, this is the worst Starbucks I’ve ever been in.
I give 3 stars instead of only 1 or 2 because I blame the location and the people, but I still love the brand and the coffee and food (although cold) always taste pretty all right.

It’s Starbucks!
Drive-​through is very easy. Walk-​in parking is always tight and sparse. (Otherwise 5 stars). Parking lot is short and difficult for a pickup or SUV because of turning radius.
Staff are always VERY friendly and place is usually hopping.

I go to this Starbucks when I visit my daughter. She doesn’t drink coffee so I head down to Starbucks every morning. I always go thru drive thru and have never had a bad experience. Staff is always friendly and will chat with you while you wait for your order. Besides Clarkston I believe it’s onl

Green Tea Frap is approved.

Ya know… the store is pretty, just like corporate desires. The employees are all hip and trendy looking, the displays are strategically placed, and the furniture and wall hangings are something out of a Crate and Barrel. The problem with this place is the coffee. Just like the other locations, the coffee tastes bitter and burnt. It doesn’t matter what I get, it all tastes the same. Perhaps if they used the Extra-​Bold French Roast. I don’t know… the coffee itself is lacking. The desserts, however, do seem to make the coffee go down easier.

What can I say? This is a typical Starbucks, with friendly, helpful baristas and good coffee. When I’m working late, I often stop by. Less so than in the past, because I’ve cut my budget down. The store has a nice layout with comfy chairs and tables. There’s also wrought iron patio chairs and tables for the smokers or if you want to go out and enjoy the day.
