I ordered a toasted bacon, egg and cheese to dine in with an Americano and cream. The order took to long, they gave me a bagel instead of the farmhouse bread. The cream was off. They were confused about the order. The manager had taken the order. He then apologised and remade it - actually looked like he took the ingredients and put it on the bread.

The coffee is ok, but it doesn't meet any higher barista coffee standards. The coffee blend is roasted to much, brewing is too hot, the result is too bitter and too hot. But listen: I'm complaining on a high level. 😉 If you still enjoy Starsucks than please give Motherland's a chance.
But there is definitely one no-go that should not happen: I've ordered explicitly a sit down cappuccino, and I got the coffee served in a bloody...
