Starbucks — Restaurant in Bethel Park

I feel bad writing a one star review for a Starbucks, but the barista I dealt with today was super condescending and rude. I order a Starbucks nitro daily, and drink it with my protein shake. It's literally my daily lunch. So, I know if there's an issue with a nitro not looking/being correct. I made a comment to the barista that something was wrong with the nitro - it was all foam with about an inch of cold brew. That's wrong, and it means that something is off with the machine. I've also dealt with this issue before one other time (at the Wexford location), and that barista said "I'm so sorry, let me make you another one.", and they did and the second one was perfect. The barista at this location rolled their eyes and quipped back "Well, I guess I can make you another one, but the whole point of the nitro is that it's foamy and that's what people want." There was also no attempt to actually make another one, so I just took my cup of foam and left. I get that this job probably sucks at the holidays, but when I pay over $5 for a nitro, I would hope that it would have some actual coffee in it and, when I comment on it, that I'm given adequate help instead of being publicly shamed...

I put the bean juice in my body. I listen to the slamming tunes, and drink enough coffee to see through walls, and sometimes certain unclaimed futures which appear in glistening portals next to a poster of an art deco coffee cup, sometimes emitting smokey fog that smells faintly of nutmeg and cloves and existential fear, but those miserly glimpses of other lifetimes are not my futures in the obscuranta, so I am sort of trying to play it off legit ... because I'm having sensory issues with my fourth cup and I'm reading free actual abandoned newspapers with my eyes, and the same P=NP problem, solved, keeps distracting me, and I can see this really weird equation in my head, glowing but with bananas instead of coefficients. Would totally help me with soduko. That's good house brew.

By the time I get home I no longer need sleep. I crouch like a bat, absently, quietly suspended upside down from the ceiling, gripping the popcorn design with powerful, ice cold prehensile toes. Haven't tried the iced coffee yet. Thinking about getting a...

This Starbucks drive-thru location is always a pleasure to visit in the afternoons and evenings. The store is consistently clean and well-kept, even during the busy after-school and evening hours. The team runs efficiently, keeping the drive-thru moving smoothly without ever making customers feel rushed. The energy is upbeat and welcoming, which makes grabbing a late-day coffee or snack a genuinely enjoyable experience.

The service is consistently friendly, and the store feels well cared for from front to back. A big part of that success comes from the night shift manager Greyson’s leadership. He supports his team with calm, steady guidance and always seems to be one step ahead—whether it's jumping in to help during a rush or making sure the store stays spotless.
