Starbucks — Restaurant in Florida

A nice place for a meeting or a cup of coffee This is one of the 15000 Starbucks in the US and 786 stores in Florida. This site is located on the south side of SR 520 (East Merritt Island Causeway). This is a fairly busy road but it was not difficult to get to or leave from this location. It is a stand-alone building in the corner of a Publix shopping center. There is some parking directly around the restaurant and more in the adjacent parking lot. This place supports an indoor and outdoor seating area and a drive through. The outdoor area has about 4 tables and the indoor area has a bench with 4 small tables, a large long table and 3 tables of 4 along the window. The indoor and outdoor space were clean. You order and pay at the counter and your completed order is served at the end of the counter nearest to the door. As with most Starbucks, this one serves the usual assortment of drinks and light snacks. The staff was friendly. The tea was good. The order was slow to come out but it was good. Prices were reasonable for a Starbucks. It is a nice place to hold a meeting and have a...

I have been coming here for years. About 2 weeks ago they had their expresso machine fixed. Since it's been quote unquote fixed, I've ordered a latte and I've had grounds in the bottom of it each time. So after two full weeks of ordering a different drink to give the machine time, I asked the girl today if it had been remedied and she lied straight to my face and said yes. This is the latte I got today in the picture. Those are espresso grounds all over the bottom of my cup, that I ended sucking up through the straw. Starbucks is not a cheap place to get coffee so I do expect it to be correct. I will tell you all there are two other places next door... one is in the mall and one is in Cocoa Village and they are phenomenal! I just spent so much time and money with Starbucks and they don't seem to care at all that this is happening. I don't want a different drink... I want the drink that I want and I want it with no expresso grounds in it and I really don't think that's too...

I'm a daily Starbucks customer - sometimes more - so I was thrilled when Merritt Island finally got its first stand-alone store. The location is good; the store layout conducive to work or leisure; the menu - standard Starbucks fare, which is why regulars are regulars. The staff, however, though perfectly acceptable, lacks the personality and friendliness that other locations where I have been a regular posses. Greetings are subdued and perfunctory, and I've seen more life at wakes. They also seem to have to think about everything they do and multitasking (essential for really good baristas) is almost non-existent. Anything that needs to be warmed will definitely slow you down! They lack that one or two charmers who bring so many Starbucks to life. So go for your routine; just don't expect it to "feel like home". Unless you're in a...
