Starbucks

Grabbed a quick lunch before my mani-​pedi. The Thai-​style peanut chicken wrap was just divine!

I absolutely LOVE this location! I stop here everyday before work. The morning staff during the week are always upbeat and super friendly. They write little smilies on my cup which makes me smile! They are always so quick, even when there’s a mad rush. The weekend crew is a little bit slower and less friendly, but they still get the job done. I switched my Starbucks location to these guys about three months ago and I don’t miss my old location one bit!

So… I don’t really use Unilocal anymore, as I find it too accommodating to the chronic complainers out there that want to hear themselves rant about the minuscule details in nearly every review.
Today though, I had an experience that I feel needs to be shared in as many avenues as possible, so I am writing.
I drove into Tucson today for a quick 2 day business trip, and decided I needed a coffee on a cold day. I popped into the local Starbucks expecting the consistent product I can get from them in any city. And I got it. What I wasn’t expecting was the wonderful hospitality and friendly approach of Tom (apparently the manager). I sat for 10 minutes and Tom warmly welcomed every guest that entered his little coffee shop. He knew no less than 50% of the clientele walking in the door by name and held meaningful conversations with them.
I know it’s not the craziest thing in the world. But, its so nice to see someone actually care about their customers and offer a genuine caring experience to them.
Thanks Tom. Keep up the great work!

This is right by my house. I go there usually during the hottest part of the day for their Very Berry Hibiscus drink. The staff is always really nice.

They always know my order, Americana with steamed Breve. They are always full of smiles and can actually turn my day around.

Starbucks, A place that is, quite literally on every corner. Now o’days seeing it can be an eyesore, and the coffee quite lackluster. But man there is no way I can give two stars to starbucks, not after all the times it has saved my life from a near coma during work. The staff is alert and friendly, always on the ball, even better they are fast (fast food… coffee style). I can get a regular cup of coffee, exactly how I like it, at a pace that will make your head spin. So what if the coffee comes from some mans diarrhea that gets sprayed out of a machine, it wakes you up… all i can ask for when in a hurry.
Overall: the coffee aint the best… but its good enough. lol.

Sometimes… ya just need to run into an S-​Bucks to calm the caffeine headache. I rarely frequent Starbucks simply because I don’t enjoy their product enough to make it my regular spot. But I’ll take a meeting here from time to time and enjoy a latte. When I’m in this neck of the woods, this Starbucks seems to be the most convenient and quite pleasant. It’s small and cozy, the customer service is excellent and usually, they move pretty quick. Starbucks as a whole, knows how to run a solid operation and I definitely appreciate that about them. Knowing that I can expect a consistent experience is worth four stars to me!

Great staff in a very busy part of town. Good job SBUX.

You can hate on Starbucks all you want. You can bring up all the other locally owned or franchised coffee shops all over the world about how much better their coffee taste over Starbucks. You can say that there’s too many locations but if your gonna make those complaints about Starbucks than you should write one about McDonalds too! I thank the man who decided to put one in every corner so that I can convienently grab one. I would tell him that he should put a few more on the south side of tucson because when I’m around the airport area I cant seem to find one.
Starbucks is genius and I am a sucker. I would never refuse a starbucks run. I just love the obnoxiously sweet syrups they pump into your cup before they fill it with espresso and milk. I love how they offer organic soy milk! and I am willing to pay the extra .60 cents (actually I dont because I’m on the rewards program. haha!) I love the overpriced pastries and deli items. I love how the flavor of every item is overpowering, rich and intense.
Its my crack and I’m addicted. Convienently I work by this one and being up at 6 am to work in customer service, its the best thing to help get through my long, exhausting, had no sleep, people expecting the world catered to them on gold platter day: D I LOVE YOU STARBUCKS

So I love Starbucks but would not normally review one. I just don’t think that the one review with two stars deserves to be the only one seen. This location was right next to my hotel. Staff were very friendly and drinks were made as requested and quickly. Consistent service for the past four mornings, which is more than I can say for a lot of Starbucks.

What can you say, the ubiquitous Starbuck’s. They cut their own throat by going for quantity (of stores) over quality. Definitely have had better espresso at independents and other Starbuck’s, but the view is quite lovely if seated just right on the patio, otherwise it’s just another parking lot. Access to go back South on Campbell is kinda tough, but doable.
