Starbucks

Like any Starbucks they seem to do well with product quality and consistency. This one nails it every time and I’m pleased with that. Unfortunately, they seem to be cursed with the success of most Starbucks: too many sit down customers, not enough seats. When you’ve got a packed café of seated patrons along with a line of waiting customers, it can feel a bit claustrophobic when trying to relax with a hot brew. I also wonder how much of it is impacted by the typical throng of clients who sit with laptops open using the free wifi for who knows how long while new customers are stuck either standing at the tall table to sip or forced to take the coffee to go with them. I’m finding, more and more, that Starbucks, like this one, are becoming less of a come in and enjoy the café type of environment and more of an order and go on your way sort of experience. For what I pay for the coffee, I guess I expect a bit more.

I used to prefer the Starbucks on 7, but this one is better if for nothing else, they have Starbucks reserve. This is the Starbucks for people who don’t like Starbucks… Or for Hipsters.
I don’t not like Starbucks but given the choice between these exotic coffees such as Yirgacheff and Peaberry, I’ll choose one of them, if for nothing else, the experience. Some of these coffees have more floral or citrusy notes than the arabica coffee that is what most of us think of. The Sbux Reserve coffees are also brewed in a Clover brewer, which has been programmed for optimal brewing of the type you order, and they will be brewed fresh. No sitting in a carafe…
I don’t know if I’ve been lucky, or it’s policy, but they haven’t yet asked me if I want room for milk or sugar when ordering from the reserve. These coffees should be had without doctoring with milk and sugar. Some of them, especially the Eithopian Yirgacheff are not going to be bitter at all, so please, before you dump a bit out to add milk, take a little sip and see if it even needs it.
The service has been pretty good. The only reason I am not willing to give this one 5 stars is the layout is really bizarre and I feel as if they could make much better use of the space inside.

As far as Starbucks goes, this one is pretty decent and super clean. There isn’t really another specialized coffee shop in Williston that I know of, so a lot people depend on it. The reason I chose to write a review is because of the staff. They’re always unusually nice and cheerful, even when they’re busy.
Last time I went I asked for only half a shot of the vanilla syrup because I didn’t want too much sugar and the nice younger girl told me she wouldn’t charge me the extra 60 cents they normally charge for a full shot of it. She was really sweet about it and I appreciated her telling me because she totally didn’t have to do that.
As far as meeting up with people goes, it’s pretty small and probably not the best for business gatherings. But it’s a good ol’ Starbucks in a good location.

Do NOT like the new layout!
I love Starbucks and come here regularly to meet a friend and talk. The staff is always friendly and the coffee is good. However, I don’t like the way they rearranged the store. The tables have been pushed up against the wall and it is not as cozy as it used to be. I would prefer more of an intimate atmosphere for the people who like to sit and visit.

This location is great. I have been here a handful of times and never really had an issue.
The staff here is pretty good. They make it simple for you to order drinks/​food. They are even a little personal with you. In a good way! I haven’t even ever felt rushed. So that’s a thumbs up for me!
I like to order a few select drinks from Starbucks. One is the double chocolatey chip drink, Chocolate banana smoothie or a peppermint mocha! I have had all 3 from this location. They are always well made, very consistent with their work.
The prices here are to be as expected! A little more pricey than your local DD or gas station coffee! I stick with the medium sizes normally and they will run you about $ 3.79 on avg. Give or take on the type of drink. $ 4.59 for the double chocolatey chip if I remember correctly. So it is fair. You go in knowing you will pay a small premium for their name and blends!
So while I don’t stick to just any one Starbucks I just find my self here a lot due to its location. I visit Williston every other day it seems! So while I am in my travels and I want a quick sweet fix from a drink… I find my self here time and time again!
Great ⁴⁄₅! The staff here is fun and the drinks/​food is great! Just be ready to spend top dollar for your drink!

Best Starbucks in the area. Nicest staff. Wish they’d do something about the noise level, tho. A little noise reduction work in the ceiling would make this one a 5

Typical Starbuck’s but on my visit this location seemed badly managed from customer experience perspective. I arrived to find three customers sitting with laptops and four SBUX staff behind counter. Two of the employees were engaged in a very loud discussion about bathrooms, water damage to the ceiling, etc. — actually just the guy was very loud — this discussion went on for at least ten minutes.
There were only three customers in active drink ordering/​waiting mode, yet it took 5 minutes for me to get a simple latte — barista seemed to have forgot she pulled my shot, later realizing it when my shot had been sitting there for quite some time. sSome basic retail customer awareness training in order here.

Like fluorescent lighting, that «coffee in a box» taste, and muzak? This place is for you.

Coffee was fine, however, the breakfast sandwich I was served was past. First time this has happened — old ham and eggs on tough bread. I’d go back, but just for coffee.

We stopped here practically every morning while visiting Vermont. It’s your typical Starbucks. It seemed like each time we went, there was a newbie at the register, so paying for our stuff took a little longer than normal. Hubby ordered a pumpkin Frappaccino, and the Starbucks girl said it was «like Fall in a cup!» I thought that was funny.
