Starbucks

Average Starbucks with outdoor seating. I went pretty late in the morning, around 10am, so there wasn’t much of a line. Got a black coffee and turkey bacon egg white sandwich. They were quick about it. No complaints here.

This is my go-​to Starbucks. I am never disappointed when I walk in or go through the drive-​thru and I believe this store should get more credit for their service. I usually always buy a Trenta size tea/​lemonade and they always get my order right. I have never had to wait more than 10 mins from ordering to getting my coffee. This is the best Starbucks I’ve been to.

They have such a hard time getting there coffee together at this location. I swear! I drink a lot of SBX and from all of the local location. For whatever reason, this one shop cannot get a black coffee poured in a timely manner or they over adjust the espresso bring and it comes out brown water instead of caffeine zap. I am
Just not sure what’s up here. Upfront, I am a picky person. This is the reason why I drink coffee from Starbucks because they cater to my preference. Btw, I am ordering a coconut milk latte no sweetener or a dark roast with espresso. Seems uncomplicated if you ask me. Unfortunately this is the closest and most convenient to my home. More then twice I have gone thru the drive thru and then gotten down the street and sipped my coffee only to have to stop at the next location to have it remade. I don’t know why I continue to business here, I guess I am a hard headed impatient picky coffee lover.

Just got back from this location and my time there was excellent! I got a Reduced fat turkey bacon and egg sandwich, and it was delicious. I also wasn’t sure what Tevana drink to get so I asked the barista and she suggested I try a tea with jasmine and oolong, two of my favorites! She gave me a sample cup and I bought the sandwich sat down, enjoyed myself and the experience of hearing not only the people around me but hearing the baristas chat to the customers and take orders form the drive thru. All around a wonderful time. I will be back again.

Drive thru can either be quick or slow. I have waited 20 min in line before and today i only waited about 7. Huge difference.
Drinks are always made correctly and never had any issues.

Reading my book outside under a ‘brella. Drink wasn’t that good today. They don’t have the Carmel ribbon crunch Frappuccino anymore. so they made a Carmel Frappuccino with extra Carmel I don’t recommend it.

The coffee is hit or miss, seems if you don’t give them a specific number of pumps for syrups either you get too much or not enough. This location isn’t always consistent. They’re also moderately busy most of the time. The one good thing about this location is friendly baristas and the manager is really great! I’ve had great service from him and even a free drink for super long waits etc!

Nice jazz blasting away in this Starbucks which just about covered up the sound of the steaming coffee machines. I was here for about 90 minutes and left half deaf but with a good coffee and lots of work done. So it wasn’t all bad.

Coffee was standard Starbucks quality but there was some kind of mixup in the drive-​thru sp they gave us our coffee for free even though we only really waited for five minutes or so. That’s a class act and needs to be highlighted.

Great team if baristas. They’re always smiling and friendly. My drink tastes amazing everytime.

I spent a few hours at this location last week while I waited for some seriously bad Naval base traffic to subside.
Nice, spacious location with tons of merchandise if you’re in need of that. Standard menu items — except they were out of the dried cranberries for my oatmeal (so that sucked). They have free wi-​fi which I used to play some games and read some articles while I waited and a spacious sitting area inside.
Staff were friendly enough and it sure beat sitting in base traffic!
I rather liked this location and I would stop in here again if nearby and in need of some caffeine.

I normally do not give just one star, but I must say I had such a horrible experience at this location. My boyfriend and I were waiting in front of the pick up counter, for about 10 minutes for his drink, after mine came out. I asked the barista (female. i think her name was stephanie) if she had a TALL chestnut praline order coming up, and she said yes. Mind you there was a drink on the table that she called out earlier as being a GRANDE peppermint mocha latte. Since we ordered a TALL chestnut praline, we did not think to look at it and check if it was ours. So we proceeded to wait again for over 5 minutes, and noticed the people that came after us had already left. I went up to another barista (male) behind the counter and asked about our drink, and the female barista pointed to that same drink (what we she called out as being a GRANDE peppermint mocha latte) from earlier that was on the counter. The thing that makes me the most upset was that she was pretty rude about it. Also, she saw us standing and waiting for over 15 mins and didn’t even bother to ask what we were waiting for. If she knew that was our drink from the first time I had asked, I don’t understand why she didn’t tell me that drink was ours. It was not the size we ordered, so of course we didn’t think it was ours, I have had WAY better experiences at Starbucks located in Targets, Farm Fresh, and the different malls. There were no apologies or anything. The whole time I kept my cool, and was understanding that things do happen. I understand that it can get busy, but at least be nicer about it.

This location is really convenient for me. It is right in between two of my offices so I always pick something up when I have to go between the two. The staff is usually pretty good. They are nice enough, but I have never had one make an impression for being outstanding. Check your order before walking out or driving off. I mean it, take a sip. They have messed up my order a few times and it is a pain trying to get back in the parking lot after you have started to drive off. Overall, it is just another starbucks with a tricky parking lot. It stays pretty busy, but the baristas are pretty speedy most days.

Never a bad experience here!

Can you really review your experience through the drive-​thru? I guess so. But really, it’s hard to determine the time it takes to prepare your drink when there are 4 cars in front of you. What if each car had 3 drink orders of varying complexity? All I ordered was an iced venti non-​fat chai latte. That’s simple enough. When I got to the window it was ready so that’s good and it had just the right amount of ice. One time I ordered this drink from another Starbucks and ¾ of my cup was ice. Look — I’m not paying $ 5.00 for ICE, ok! But this Starbucks had it perfect! It’s convenient for me too because it’s the only Starbucks I pass with a drive-​thru that’s on my way to work.

Staff is always great and friendly. I’ve never had any issues here and I’ve been a regular for about 2 years. I don’t go inside much so I can’t comment on that. But even when the drive thru seems like forever long they still move pretty fast. I use their app to get the rewards and I love it. When I do have cash I always remember to tip them. Try this location! You won’t be disappointed.

A regular Starbucks.
Star 1– Staff is pretty friendly for the most part.
Star 2– Not too cold first 20 min.
Star 3– It’s clean.
Other pros: The set up is pretty nice– one corner has chairs, other corner has tables and chairs, and others have a nook with 4 chairs. All have outlets close by. They have a drive through, outdoor seating & good collection of baked goods.
Cons: After the first 20 min, it gets freezing! Music is WAY TOO LOUD. Even after i wore ear plugs, i felt like someone was screaming into my face. I don’t even know how people can hold a conversation in there. let alone study. I am not sure if they do that to drive ‘wifi-​hogs’ out? Either way, not cool. I also noticed there’s never anything fun on clearance (if anything at all). They also make my iced chai latte with a little too much milk– all the 3 times i’ve been there (ill have to tell them next time, Starbucks is usually pretty good about re-​making drinks from what i’ve seen).
I think this is a good thing– i’m going to explore other local coffee shops (like i should have been doing in the first place!)

I have been to this Starbucks location a few times, but mainly it has been drive thru service. I will combine this review on the last few experiences together. The drive thru service has been impressive with quick friendly service. The exterior of the store on this beautiful Virginia Beach day was clean and the outdoor tables were all cleared and cleaned. They offer 5 tables if you care to set outside by a busy road and smell exhaust fumes, or blow your own.
Today I went in for a pre lunch coffee and doughnut. Alright, alright your not my Mom so don’t judge OKAY… it did not spoil my lunch anyway. The counter service was spotless and friendly. I love it when they ask me if I want a receipt, heck no save a tree. My M.O. is if I go into a Starbucks I like the food heated and on a plate as well as coffee in a mug (see pic). The store had a few customers, but not busy by any stretch. The dining room appears to be larger than others, maybe an illusion. However, it had a very warm and inviting atmosphere.
Everything was delicious and I was a happy camper. The store was clean for the most part, but a few tables were cleared, but you could tell they has not been cleaned as they had crumbs, or dried liquid stains. I usually am a freak about this, but it was really only two tables and due to the great experience thus far I am not going to kill them on this review.
The merchandise area we neat and in order and looked appealing to customers to purchase. Checked on the restroom which overall was clean, but the bowl of the sink has a something in it, no real biggie because this could have happen right after it was cleaned. It appeared to me someone rinsed their mouth out.
Clearly all Starbucks are not created equal. Impressive and relaxing visit, bravo to the staff. Will this become my favorite new Starbucks, only time will tell. But I will return to this location again.

This is exactly the sort of Starbucks that I should detest. Strip mall stuff with a lovely outside seating view of a major urban roadway. On the surface, no vibe, all sanitized corporate coffee… poster boy for all things Starbucks.
But it isn’t, I kinda actually dig this place. I’m sure that it’s the people. Especially Matty. Matty knows coffee and customer service!
If you squint really tightly, you can make out some vibe in the inside seating area, so all is not lost. For some reason, I could easily see curling up in one of the chairs here during one of those January snowstorms for which Virginia Beach is famous. Sipping hot Dark Roast, watching the snow plows carve out a pathway amidst the six foot drifts.
Wait, that was Fargo.
Ok, well then… if you could magically transport this Starbucks (and Matty) to Fargo, ND, then I’m certain that it would be the ideal curl up for a winter storm day.
As for a place to get some caffeine not too far from my Humble Abode, yep, this is the place.

New Starbucks venue (with drive-​through), decent parking and ample seating (really like that part). Staff is friendly but still learning some of the intricacies of making the perfect Americano. The temperature inside has been running cold but now it seems to be going in the other direction.
Thumbs up for: drive-​through, clean interior, ample seating inside & out, friendly staff.
