Every time I visit the Palm City Starbucks I leave disappointed. Today was my last straw... never going to the Palm City location again! I've had "blended" drinks that were one giant ice cube, such freezing interior that I couldn't stay even with a sweater and a hot drink, and multiple times when the internet was out. Today, I went between dropping off my son and my annual physical (in the doctor's office next door). I wanted to work for the hour between. Unfortunately, after buying my $8 drink to use their wifi, I discovered that their wifi was down. When inquiring about it, the barista suggested that I go try Panera. However, then I'd feel obligated to buy ANOTHER drink to work from Panera (though she said "oh it's fine to bring an outside drink in to Panera" — which I feel too rude to do)... plus, I didn't want to go to Panera since I needed to be next door in less than an hour. What a waste of time and money! This Starbucks does NOT live up to the Starbucks brand standards, that usually offers a superior experience at every...
Read moreWe were traveling from Miami to Tampa, and during the journey, our infant needed milk. To make the stop more convenient for everyone, we searched for a nearby Starbucks and decided to take a break there. It turned out to be a perfect spot for both the baby's needs and for us to relax before continuing the long drive.
As we entered, we were greeted by festive Christmas decorations that added a warm and cheerful vibe to the place. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, making it a pleasant spot to unwind. While ordering milk for our infant, we also took advantage of the clean and well-maintained restrooms, which was a big relief during a road trip.
In addition to fulfilling our immediate needs, I was delighted to find the Florida-themed Starbucks mug, which I'd been missing from my collection.
This Starbucks not only served its practical purpose--providing milk for the baby and clean facilities--but also offered a great environment for us to recharge before hitting...
Read moreI walked in and tried to order a coffee. The barista(Alaina) that took my order didn't blatantly say anything negative, however, her facial expressions and demeanor during the whole interaction gave off haughty and annoyed vibes. I became confused at one point after asking a question on the nutritional facts of using oat milk instead of whole milk and Alaina proceeded to brush me off without giving me an anwser and even though there wasn't a single other person in line or in the drive through, she tried to rush me into not caring about the drink and how it would affect my body. I felt like this barista felt like I was not as important as her other responsibilities within the store. I am leaving this review in hopes of the store management becoming aware of a potential problem because while I can brush the whole thing behind me as maybe Alaina was having a bad day, someone else may take this personally. Thank you and I wish Alaina and the other...
