Starbucks — Restaurant in Oak Bay

Update: Still one of the best Starbucks locations but, ffs every single day there is the same group of men who take up all the outdoor seating so that everyone else has to hope the one remaining table is available. Please put a time limit on this group - and I’m sure you know who they are. Give other patrons an opportunity to sit outside.

A shout-out to Abba first, who was taking refreshment orders yesterday afternoon. Smiles all round, polite, friendly, and helpful. The first person on staff in a business can make or break a customer’s opinion. Abba, you were great!

They did not have one but the young barista offerred to call other locations for me and sure enough she found one! Long winded review I know, but truly this level of service is a few notches above Starbucks already...

It always makes my day coming into the Starbucks at Oak Bay and seeing the staff but in particular, Katherine & Syssilia. ❤️ Both baristas are extraordinary humans who go out of their way to greet me, make me feel welcomed, and have my drink and food orders ready when I arrive. It’s the warmest feeling in the world entering the store and seeing their beautiful faces greet me. They are truly the loveliest people. I come to the shop with friends and the customer service is always excellent. Thank you to each barista for serving us customers with smiles on your faces and going above and beyond. You are...
