Starbucks

Not sure what the hype is over this place. I’ve been to much better coffee shops that can actually make a good coffee drink properly. Every time I’ve been here (not just this location), they’ve burned the mocha. Over-​roasting seems to be a theme here. The baristas need a ton more training. The coffee in general is very bitter. Definitely not a quality coffee place.
Ohh yea, you’re really going to overpay too.

We had a coupon code from Starbucks for a free drink or treat for my birthday. The barista was flippant and rude stating they had «no way» of coding that in their register. What should have been a pleasant treat ended up making us feel bad and mad. Such a small thing now makes me not want to go back to this store again. Avoid store # 9756. Hopefully one of the other stores have better attitudes and service.

Did an all nighter last night for an unfinished project. I just had to go for a 2^nd round of coffee but decided I want something frozen instead. Starbucks is one of my go-​to place and this is my first time at this location.
Upon entering, there was a barista standing right in front of me cleaning something. She must have not realized I was there, so I just looked up at the menu deciding if I really wanted a caramel latte or a mocha frappuccino. Over a minute went by and still, I was not greeted. I didn’t take offense to this at all, BTW. I make the best of all situation! So, I took this time to pick out what I wanted to wear for tomorrow. :-)
When I finally made direct eye contact with her in my extra engaging ‘Hello I’m very ready to order now’ look, she did just what I had expected! She greeted me with a giant smile and told me I could have more time to look over the menu as needed. Now see, just because she didn’t greet me right away did not mean she was purposely being rude (thought it could’ve been the case). She thought she was doing the right thing by not interrupting me while I was busy scratching my chin, pondering which cup of coffee would my taste buds prefer at the moment.
I would like to say that of all the starbucks location in Peoria, this one is now my favorite. When you drink these as often as I do, you can taste the difference in consistency even if they put 1 teaspoon less of milk in. My mocha frappé (with an extra pump of mocha) came out pretty satisfying. The texture was right, it was nice and sweet with a strong mocha taste, I couldn’t really ask for better. As for the caramel latte, it was just par. I thought it was a tad bland, lacking in coffee flavor and a little strong on the milky side. Not my favorite cup of latte but it wasn’t bad either.

Wrote a funny but blatantly fake review. Starbucks sent me an email about it because they’re a bunch of whiny babies. So I’ll write an actual review.
Your coffee is shit. You source unethically. Cappuccinos were not meant to be humongous 20 Oz drinks. Frappuccinos are a disgrace to coffee.
Starbucks sucks and I would rather go without coffee than drink their burnt, syrupy sludge. I recommend you do the same.

Wow this place has more Flies than Peoria has crime! Could not believe all the flies in there.

I have to say I’m definitely a fan of Starbucks and was super excited to find a location in Peoria as I came to vist family. BUT the service I received was highly unacceptable. The barista who took my order had the worst disposition I came across in awhile. She had short blonde hair, dark eyebrows and very pale skin I tryed to get her name but there was no name tag. She didn’t greet anyone when they walked in, said «what do you want» out of frustration in a very angry voice when I asked if the have a certain flavor. And when my sister asked for half and half she slammed the canister on the table.

I’m a seasonal Starbucks customer. I absolutely love the Caramel Brûlée Latte, the seasonal drink that ideally runs until at least Christmas (as you would think, right?)
I visited this location on Sunday, December 14. I pulled up into the drive-​thru and was very anxious to order my favorite drink — the Caramel Brûlée Latte, which was advertised on the drive-​thru menu. After I ordered, I was told that «Starbucks» no longer carried the drink. Now, when I heard the statement, I had to clarify if we were both talking about the Caramel Brûlée Latte. It didn’t make any sense that a winter seasonal drink (which, technically it’s not even winter or Christmas yet) not be carried anymore. ALSO, why was it still on the menu?!
A guy comes through the speaker and states that Starbucks has two seasonal phases, Winter I and Winter II. And the Caramel Brûlée Latte was apart of Winter I, which is now over. In my mind, I’m thinking this is just absolutely unbelievable. He offered a «substitute» drink and I kindly rejected and backed up out of the drive through.
Still not believing that the popular winter seasonal drink was discontinued for the season, I called the Starbucks on Prospect to see if they were carrying it – YES THEY WERE!
I called this Starbucks to inquire why they would say such nonsense of a drink being «discontinued» when it only applied to this specific location. The «manager» I spoke with was rude. She insisted that it was their location that didn’t carry it anymore and other locations may. I told her that, that wasn’t clear when I was in the drive thru and that they should fix their language. She didn’t apologize and she rudely hung up the phone.
My problem with this Starbucks was their verbiage. He should have been clear that it was just THIS location that was not carrying the drink anymore. He should have noted that other locations could still be carrying the drink. I also didn’t like how the manager was rude when I called to see why they were making these false statements and that they should clarify that it was specific to their location.
I won’t be going back to this location.

Ask for Sean, Erica, or Brandice and your drink will be amazing! So incredibly friendly, great drink quality, and if they screw up your drink (or you accidentally order it wrong) they make another one without charging.

My girlfriend absolutely loves Starbucks and was in need of one during our travels through the area.
We were a little disappointed in the service we received from this particular one as we were not greeted upon entering the store (as we have experienced in every other Starbucks). The barrista was curt and I wasn’t even sure my order was complete as she walked away as soon as I had paid. The poor lady in front of me stood there a while too wondering if everything was complete. She finally realized the barrista was done with her when she heard her order called out at the other end of the counter.
Another issue with this location, which is probably out of their control, is the super poor entrance and parking area. The drive thru line extended all the way to the entrance of the parking lot and into the main exit for a shopping complex behind it. Getting around the drive thru cars was dangerous as it’s the only way to get out of the parking lot.
Needless to say, we won’t stop at this particular Starbucks again due to the blasé attitude and poor parking lot design.

I love my neighborhood Starbucks! Very friendly servers, all who know my favorite drink. Meet with friends several times a week, never disappointed.

Oh Starbucks, why do you have the friendliest staff and the most delicious drinks of all??? Actually, I don’t care why — but I appreciate it nonetheless! Thank you!

This Starbucks location is great because the staff are so fun and friendly. Somehow they all remember my first name which is a nice personal touch. Mainly I love the straight espresso shots with, of course, the chocolate brownie. We bought a Verismo there too and it works great. Nice little sitting areas both inside and out which is great for small meeting.

It’s Starbucks. You probably know what you are getting into as far as drinks. Of the Starbucks in Peoria. This overall has been our least favorite due to a few bad experiences with rude or inexperienced baristas. Thus the 3 stars. Hope they step it up in the hiring dept in the future. The drinks are generally standard for Starbucks fare.

I got close to $ 80 in GIFT CARDS for Starbucks over the holidays.
I’m a fan of about every drink I’ve tried at Starbucks. I’m particularly a fan of their iced coffee with non-​fat milk and two sweet ‘n low. Nothing glamorous — but OH-​SO-​YUMMY.
The staff is friendly and quick. I can stop in in the mornings and still be to work earlier than normal.
A good pick-​me-​up for those pesky Monday mornings :)

Love it, its addicting. I usually get the white mocha and sometimes a pastry. Service is always good and im greeting with a smile unless i hit up the drive thru. But either way good stuff…
It’s a clean palce and and you can relax while you drink your fav and they ahve free wifi!
