Espresso Disappointing, Service & Atmosphere Stellar
I usually visit Starbucks for a cappuccino with soy milk, but for this review, I decided to try an espresso. Unfortunately, the espresso was bad. On a brighter note, the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was beautiful.

Atmosphere Great, Service Slipping
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The atmosphere was nice, earning a 4 out of 5. However, the service seems to be slipping, which I've rated a 3 out of 5. This is likely because they are processing about 80% online orders in the morning. You might find yourself standing at the counter for a few minutes, contemplating if you should have used the app instead. The food received a rating of 2 out of 5.

Vanilla Latte Lacks Coffee Flavor
Every time I come over and ask for a vanilla latte, I get the same taste of milk and vanilla syrup with no coffee at all, and that’s ridiculous. It always happens on the vanilla latte. I hope they learn how to make it.

Disappointing Service and Incorrect Order
As a local who frequents this Starbucks, my experience on Friday morning, July 25th, was quite disappointing. The barista was rude and dismissive. Despite being from Italy and knowing what a proper cappuccino should be, I received a drink that was entirely foam, not the wet cappuccino I requested. When I politely asked for it to be remade, the barista refused. To add to the issues, my food order was incorrect; the banana bread I asked for was completely missed. This location's once great customer service seems to have declined, and I'm unsure if I'll return.

A Taste of the Original Starbucks Spirit
I'm so happy this Starbucks still exists! It truly captures the spirit of the original version, the one that made me fall in love with this coffee house chain. It's a place where you genuinely like to be.

Great spot, can get crowded
I love this place! Especially with good weather, it opens up nicely. It can get very crowded at times, but they are open at 4: 30 PM for the early risers. The staff is good and friendly.

Cozy Cafe Vibe with Service Lapses
I quite like this place. It's one of the rare cafes that has a chill, slow-paced vibe, similar to the cafes I used to frequent in Vietnam. The staff were a bit indifferent and cold, not very welcoming, but it was okay.

Great Local Spot with Chill Vibes
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a great local shop with cool outside seating. The atmosphere is super chill, and it's conveniently located a short walk to the water. The food, service, and atmosphere were all rated a perfect 5 out of 5.

Favorite Starbucks with Great Staff and Drinks
My favorite Starbucks by far! The staff are extremely friendly and nice, and the drinks are very well made. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, filled with nice people and regulars. It's also very pet friendly, offering a chance to meet a large range of friendly dogs. There is plenty of seating, both indoor and out, with heated seats outside. The location is perfect, and they are always fast to create your order.
