Starbucks

Starbucks inside stores never compare to the real thing, but it gets the job done

The long and short of it, unfortunately, is that while I was the only person in line to order and receive my items, the barista made my drink incorrectly and the majority of my breakfast sandwich was ice cold — not «ice cold» in a dramatic way like it was really lukewarm and I just ~couldn’t deal~ but ice cold in the way that it was still frozen. By the time I realized both of these things to be the case, I was already in a rush on my merry way and really didn’t have the time or patience to turn around and go back.
When I think of getting a quick bite to eat my default is usually Starbucks but it’s kind of a shame that this is the location closest to my organization’s North 1^st Street office; I think I’ll have to stick to getting pastries at Coffee Bean from now on.

They do make good drinks! Lol. But they do take forever. My whole target trip was less time then getting Starbucks :(With that being said the staff was nice and took time with everyone. When I went up though many tables were dirty and there were no napkins and straws in the containers. One thing I will say is they are specific with your drink… I am pregnant and she emphasized the fact I got Decaf which was great!

I unfortunately have to echo a lot of fellow reviewers. The service is super slow. Even to order a simple cup of coffee was a long process. If you’re in a hurry, don’t come here, there’s a coffee bean and panera in the same area.
The lady making the drinks didn’t know what she was doing as a few people asked to remake some drinks or add things. This was very apparent as I watched her make drinks. All the time I was hoping that she would make my drink correctly.
Thankfully she did. Phew.

I have been buying a Starbucks Venti Chai Latte with 10 pumps of Chai for years. I have only been charged for extra Chai when it was a new Barista, and they were corrected by a coworker. $ 4.45 is enough to pay! The person (male) there insisted on charging me $ 1 more for extra syrup, and the second person there was new and, therefore, no help. After waiting in line for 15 minutes, I left quite perturbed, and without my chai. I went to another Starbucks, places the same order, and was charged correctly. It is only a dollar, but so much for customer service! This is normally a fine Starbucks, This person was a jerk, and incapable of caring or thinking that he might/​maybe be wrong. This happened just yesterday. I need to find out this persons name, he wore no name tag, and complain to Starbucks corporate and Target. It is convenient to my home, but I can drive the extra 5 minutes for a chai and shopping at Safeway.
Post Script — last year at Christmas, I ordered a chai with egg nog at this Target Starbucks. They made it with Soy Egg nog. I pointed this out to them. They said that that was what they were sent. They sell egg nog at Target, but they could not get it to correct my order. I pointed out that there are people that are allergic to soy. They repeated that that was what they were sent. I am not allergic, thank goodness. I took it to the Starbucks in Safeway, and they corrected it.
I usually like the baristas there, but I refuse to wait that long, be treated rudely, and then get ripped off.

The two people working there were really slow. It took forever for each order to come out. There were a number of people ahead of me, so I knew there would be a wait, but each order took minutes to complete. Fortunately it is not a popular location, otherwise the orders coming in would have been faster than the ones they were serving.

Standard Sbux in another retail. Seems up here Target and Safeway are the usuals and this one is in Target. It’s actually the other patrons that slows this place down. Hot day so I got a peach green iced tea. They got it to me really quick even though I had to fight my way around the annoying woman who was in front of me. 3.5 stars

I arrived 7:40pm knowing they close at 8:00pm, when I ordered a frapuccino the girl said «they couldn’t do frapuccinos anymore». I knew they were gonna close in 15 minutes but I think that they should offer all their products up to the last minute they are still open. Bummer!

Service is bad and takes a loooong time to get an ice coffee. They just let the custom waiting outside and do nothing.

Service was very very slow. They ran out of venti cold cups so I had to order another size to drink coffee with. Didn’t have whole milk either. Not a very good place. First time here and will be my last. Very small sitting area. Only a few tables

I don’t give a one star because normally is not bad, but today my cup was not even half full… I complained and the barista just said that capuchino was like that… as if I had never had a capuchino before.
Terrible service

Conveniently located inside Target. Clean. Nice team and location. No outlet to charge my laptop. Not even a single one. What the heck? :(

I ordered PSL and the guy at the counter gawked at me like its not something he has heard before and then another person behind him asks me to repeat my order and when i do he says «Ohh PSL, Pumpkin Spice Latte, we call it Pumpkin Spice Latte and this guy is new so he doesn’t know». I am like whatever, just get me my order. And then I look up at the board behind the guys and it has PSL written in bold and I turn around and i see a board behind me where PSL is advertised. I was so annoyed as to why these guys were acting like saying PSL is nothing something they hear regularly. I am sure its not my accent because i have ordered PSL in every Starbucks coffee place I go to and the people behind the counter get me. I found the attitude infuriating hence just 2 star.

This Starbucks is located inside of the Target, to the left of the entrance. I’m a big fan of this Target location, and I suppose this extends to the Starbucks as well. The service here is efficient and friendly, and the drinks don’t come out bad at all. They have card-​scanners that you use rather than passing your card over to the person working the cashier. Just make sure to hit the corresponding keys (cash back, price verification) before wandering off to wait for your drink.
There is also plenty of seating if you choose to sit down.

Watch out for this poorly trained Starbucks, they cop an attitude and are not open to listening and doing what is right.
I recently went there and got a hazelnut mach and after I was done, I asked for a refill of a plain iced coffee. As per starbucks rewards, you can get a free refill on any iced tea or iced coffee *Regardless* of the original drink purchased:
As this Starbucks DOES participate in Free refill program, I though it would be no problem. But Alas, life is not simple. The not-​so-​educated Barista told me that since I did not originally order an iced coffee, I cant get a refill. I told her that’s incorrect interpretation of the refill policy and tried to explain it to her. (I love how it’s the customer that has to train the store’s employee) She just kept saying that I was wrong and even when I offered to show her the policy on Starbucks’ site, she said she doesn’t care what I say or show her, she won’t do it. I gave up, took a picture of the barista and definitely will push it up the chain.
So basically at this Target Starbucks, if you buy a more expensive drink like I did, you don’t get a refill of a basic iced coffee. However if you just buy a iced coffee, you can have refills.
I’ve been to different starbucks and most have been top notch at customer service, even if they we’rent sure they would have been willing to hear what i have to say. Most just take care of the situation without having to escalate it.
If you have free refills as one of the basic perks of having a starbucks card, then they should just honor it and not give such a hard time, especially to Gold members. This barista made me feel that I was the one trying to rip them off but it’s starbucks policy, and because of this poorly trained person it ends up being the customer being ripped off.

Not the best customer service. Not from the cashier but the guy making my drinks. I forgot to let the lady know I needed soy and when I stopped the guy to let him know he got attitude ! Rolled his eyes and shook his head ! I’m sorry but I won’t be buying from this Starbucks anymore ! That was just rude and disrespectful ! Just bad customer service. If your not happy with your job than find a different one.

The usual starbucks with quick service definitely like this one. It’s convenient having it inside the store

I would much rather hit up this Starbucks (inside Target) than any of the neighboring Brick and Mortar Starbucks locations. I frequent this Starbucks in the morning before heading into the office and for the most part, the wait is pretty minimal — especially compared to the B&M which seem to attract everyone else. The employees are always friendly, and do their best to push out orders as fast as they can — if you hit the morning rush, it still can take a little bit of time since its usually a two person operation…
Also — +1 for being able to make small Target purchases at the SBux registers.

I love how this Starbucks is always has short lines and attentive employees. I told them that I had to rush back to work by 2:00 PM (it was 1:50) and they were able to make my caramel macchiato in until 2 minutes.
Other things I order there:
–Green tea lemonade
–Black tea lemonade with strawberry
–Green tea lemonade with apple juice
–Pumpkin spice latte
SOOO good. For the teas I ask for no sweetener and for my latte I ask for nonfat milk instead of soy (soy adds sweetness!)

This Starbucks is located inside Target. There’s usually no line here and they make your drink super fast. They are comparable to Caffe Brocatto’s quazi Starbucks.
