Starbucks Coffee Company — Restaurant in City of Mount Vernon

One-Star Review for Starbucks (in TARGET)

The goal of this establishment is crystal clear: to push cheap, mediocre product at a precious metal's price, all wrapped up in fancy green packaging and served in a trendy cup.

This isn't coffee; it's a speculation on image. They're not selling a drink, they're selling the illusion of status—a sense of belonging with the "successful businesspeople" drinking the same swill while staring at their MacBooks. The markup on hot water and syrup from a bottle is absolutely astronomical. You're not paying for quality; you're paying for the rent on the chair and the right to take a selfie with their logo.

The taste? A pre-fab, sickly sweet swill that masks low-grade robusta with tons of sugar and flavorings. There's no real coffee to be found here.

Verdict: I'm never setting foot in here again. Throwing away that kind of money for outright garbage is the height of wastefulness. You can find delicious coffee at any other independent café where it's made with passion, not pumped from a machine. I sincerely wouldn't recommend this...

Don't be fooled by the comfortable chairs and the free WiFi. Starbucks is a masterclass in marketing average products as a luxury experience. You're not paying for coffee; you're paying for the brand name and the permission to sit in their cafe.

The drinks themselves are just over-sweetened, overpriced concoctions made from syrups and powders. The actual coffee taste is weak and burnt, hidden under a mountain of whipped cream and caramel drizzle. For the price of a large latte here, you could buy an entire bag of high-quality beans from a local roaster and make something far superior at home.

It's a status symbol for people who want to be seen holding that white cup. The value is nonexistent. Save your money and support a local coffee shop that actually cares about the art of coffee, not just the art...

Let me start by saying how rude these workers were. Number one i ask for a extra coffee cup and the worker ask me for what I explained to her I was going to share my coffee with someone else. She said that I was wasting her cup .I also had to go back to ask her for some suger cause she never gave me any .She began to tell she gave me about 8 pack .she kept arguing with me .I even ask her if she wanted to go back to my car so she can see I didn't have any suger .I feel so embarrassed I wasn't begging I spend...
