Starbucks

Easy enough location off of 75, but my complaint is no drive thru. What is with finding a Starbucks with a drive thru in the McKinney area? They weren’t super fast for morning rush hour so that was a real bummer. I applaud the locations that acknowledge their customers are in a rush! Will probably stop in from time to time but I prefer a different location.

I travel all over the country for my career, and have visited a ton of Starbucks locations. This is by far my favorite location I’ve ever been to. The staff are friendly, and they are awesome at making the drinks! I always order a Starbucks Double Shot and you would be surprised how many locations have no idea how to correctly make one. These guys are the best at their job. I drive past another location just to get to here. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

This location is pretty hidden in the Craig Dr. shopping area off of El Dorado and 75. It’s tucked away back by Chipotle in the Trader Joe’s complex. There is a lot of parking though. Like most Starbucks, the seating area is pretty small. but it’s never really crowded here, at least it hasn’t been every time I’ve gone. The staff is always helpful and friendly. I noticed that at this location, everyone does their part. If the cashier has nobody at the register, she’ll jump in and start helping with the drinks. Or if the person making drinks is waiting around, they’ll jump in and take orders. I’ve never really seen that at other locations, but I thought it was great. They are quick here too. The only con about this location is the lack of a drive thru, but other than that. it’s one of my favorites.

Service was pleasant and fast, but the store was a mess. There were 4 people working on a Saturday morning at 10am and only 6 guests in the store. Not one person was cleaning the front of the store. Tables were very dirty and chairs were scattered, trash was full, cream/​sugar station needed to be cleaned and refilled. I’m very surprised that they don’t have higher expectations during down times.

What’s to be said? If you’ve been to one Starbucks, you’ve been to any Starbucks. Well, at least in the sense of consistency. This location seems relatively new in the area and well, most places in this area seem to have an interesting demographic for employees. That said, our first visit everyone was super friendly. Over the course of two weeks it was really depending. I ordered the same thing every day. Lg drip, little bit of ice, room for cream. Sometimes there was zero room and sometimes there was seemingly no ice as I burned the crap out of myself. I know, I know. Coffee is hot. Duh, that’s why I like a little bit of ice in it. You can drink it faster.

Like this location — no drive-​through at this location, so it’s always a relatively quiet coffee shop! I sometimes meet here with students I’m tutoring. Only complaint is that they close early on Sunday evenings! ;)

Upon entering I was nicely greeted by a young lady who then went to work preparing my latte. There were four young girls being trained behind the counter by a male who seemed to have a lot more patience that I would under the same circumstances. One girl was busy playing with her cup of water then adjusting her baseball cap constantly. If she learned anything it would be a miracle. Some thought parts of the training was funny. All in all an entertaining 30 minutes. By the way my latte was good.

Afternoon Deal after 2pm with receipt — what a deal for $ 2!
I love how Starbuck’s offer specials to their customers, one of the many reason’s I am a Starbuck Gold Card Member. Staff are always friendly, and make you feel welcome regardless of where you at.

This is my go-​to Starbucks, everyone is pretty cool here. I don’t know them, I just like their energy. The drinks are good, it’s close to home, it’s good! Kudos!

Located right by the highway and pretty close to a few other starbucks. Not my favorite location but I love me some starbucks and if I’m close, I stop. ;)

This is my first time here and I tried the new mocha chip frappé. It was very good and I was energized the rest of the evening! My friend and I came here in the evening after work to have a venting session and I’m glad we chose this location. They have great service, it wasn’t super crowded, and their patio was the perfect place to sip on something sweet while enjoying the cool evening breeze and de-​stressing. I’m sure this place would be a great place to do work too. Keep it up!
