Starbucks

A tiny Starbucks located inside the Von’s Market. Three tables and a bar with 4 chair the space is small. The line was to the door but went pretty fast. It clears out pretty fast here too most people come and go and don’t hang since this is not an actual SB store I can see that. Anyways not a bad one.

Cannot use or redeem rewards at this location. Ordered a grande but basically a tall with a lot of foam. Not the best place for a beverage.

I used to have someone who made my drinks exactly how I liked them. Since that person was gone I was hesitant to try this place again.
Today was too hot to care, so I went in and didn’t have to wait in the long lines like in other nearby Starbucks (ses?). The pleasant girl behind the counter made me something that was really what I needed today and to be honest it made me have that Starbucks crave again.

I’ve gotten nothing but stellar service at this location, I will have to say though, being a starbucks inside of the Von’s grocery store, you CANNOT redeem any of your rewards here (no free drinks for you here), nor can you reload your card using just the app. If you want to reload your card, you must have the physical card.
–1 star because their pastry case is never stocked. I don’t know what it is, but every time i come in, there’s about 3 – 4 items (total) in their display case.

This Starbucks is always busy but extremely under staffed. Very Very SLOW!!! 25 min this morning to order and get a latte not ok!!! The problem lots of students ordering Frapps they need at least 3 people if not 4 avoid this location if I’m a hurry

This Sbux is always sooo busy! I assume it’s because it’s in a grocery store but busy also means they’re extra slow. Even when they’re not that busy they’re slow. I just get an Americano and it seems to take forever and not taste good. I know not to come here before work/​class. I think the only time is if I happen to be grocery shopping on a Sat/​Sun morning, and that’s only if the line is horrific.

The service her has gotten so unbelievably slow. Granted there are only 1 – 2 people working the counter. It seems like they can only handle 2 – 3 orders at a time and if any of those orders are more complicated than a latte you can forget it. They still taste great but they take forever and anyone behind you can’t even place an order for the next 10 minutes while they are making your drink.
Several times I’ve been in line with 2 or more other people in front of me. Each time every one including me gave up waiting and left.

Why do these half-​baked concession outlets even exist? They don’t carry the full menu except u don’t know which items are not available at any specific location until you get there. This one has no facility to warm anything up. Tables were dirty and napkin dispenser was empty.

Every corner, this location (inside Von) is just convenient for one who love Starbucks that don’t care about its service or in need for a space. It’s not a coffee shop but basically a coffee stand.
Hold your coffee while grocery shopping is cool.

An itsy bitsy Starbucks location, right inside the door of a Vons market. Two mismatched tables and a counter with 4 bar stools. It has an equally itsy bitsy display with 6 types of baked goods. No sandwiches, yogurts, or bottles of x, y, or z. Of course, you are at a market, too, so shop away. It’s more of a commuter location, not a destination. Solely a place to get your caffeine fix between point A and point B. Free wifi with Vons (not the bucks), but this is not the usual study-​place anyway.
What makes up for what it doesn’t have is the entertainment value. An example of what I witnessed in just an hour of people-​watching:
1. A guy in the middle of summer wearing a magenta ski hat. If that’s not strange enough, 5 mins later, a second guy wearing a magenta ski hat walks in.
2. Really huge triplets ladies.
3. A fainting employee. Paramedics followed.
4. A homeless man talking to himself, then laughing (apparently, enjoying his own humor)
5. A backpacker takes his backpack off, removes a small plastic contained of fresh ‘herbs”, and proceeds to eat the herbs right out of the package. Then, leaves.
The service was very nice and really friendly. I’ll be back whenever I need new characters for stories. Like, tomorrow.
