Starbucks

Came by for coffee the other day and it was a mediocre experience. This Starbucks is located right next to the 85/De Anza freeway on-ramp, which can be tricky getting in depending on which direction you're coming in from!

Ordered an extra foamy latte via the Starbucks App and my drink was ready upon arrival, making it a quick and easy experience!

The latte was too hot... resulting in no milk flavor... Also took a good 20 minutes before I was able to start drinking it too...

New Starbucks with lots of parking (for now).

The seats are brand new. Lots of different types of table types to match you work style.

Great new place. So far great impressions. A little odd of a layout in that it's long without much in between corners of the shop. But probably still setting up. Also a little tough to get to or get back from if you aren't trying to get into 85 right after. But won't stop me :)

Nice people. I embarrassingly realized I didn't have my card on me as I was about to pay, but the guy ringing me up let me have my order on him.

My only gripe is that they are as speedy as a sloth, especially when it comes to mobile orders. If I were you, I would put my order in 15-20 minutes ahead of time to be on the safe side, especially if you're trying to get your coffee in the morning before work. One time they had a large group of people waiting for their mobile orders and the said there was an error on their system. But they did do their best to accommodate everyone despite the mishap.

It's permanently closed.
The service was mediocre, flavor was Starbucks standard. At least it's close.
Now we have to go to the already-crowded Starbucks on Stevens Creek.

When this location opened up near my work, it has become my go to Starbucks for my pick me ups.
I've experienced a range of crappy, mediocre and and just the standard "ok" services at other locations in the past but nothing that really stood out for me to have the urge to write a review like this store. I want to give two huge thumbs up, kudos and high fives to the amazingly friendly service I've received from the store manager (unfortunately I never got his name), Geraldine and Kyle. In these days where truly great customer service has become a lost art, these 3 gets it. It's the smiles, the friendly greetings, changing my cups because of extra ice without having to ask, remembering me to credit something from week prior ... it's these little things that go a long way.
Great job guys!!!

This new location is perfect for any northbound morning Hwy 85 commuter who gets on the freeway from S. DeAnza Blvd. The motion is modern meets wood and while the design is a little stark, the Baristas are warm and efficient!

Geraldine is one cool cat barista. Last Saturday was my first time at this particular Starbucks. The one in the Trader Joe's Plaza closed, so this one is like the replacement, on the same side of S De Anza Avenue as H Mart, and just a bit past 85 Degrees C. I would recommend this Starbucks based on its high ceilings, large spacious interior, ample seating, and of course the cool barista, Geraldine who cheerfully greeted me when I came in and wields hospitality to give customers a good first impression.

Just found out they closed this location. I went there in April and all the workers looked unhappy. My drink order was wrong (but they fixed it, although added extra time to my wait). I went here a few times out of sheer convenience to the on ramp of Hwy 85. The service was not great, just tolerable. The other customers, most were jerks in a hurry. Trying to pull into the parking lot was less than ideal. I got greeted with a middle finger trying to park my truck in the stalls which were not laid out great. So, the unhappy staff with customers as jerks, no love loss that this place is permanently closed!

Just an update. I stopped by today ( 07/06/18) for the espresso happy hour. Ordered 2 venti blonde Americanos. When I received the first one I noticed it did not say blonde on it and asked them in time for them to make the second one correctly. They didn't offer to correct the first one, which is fine since I didn't feel like wasting it. But I felt for good customer service , they should have offered to correct my order regardless of me asking or not.
