Starbucks - Sam Houston Ave. (Huntsville)
What a wonderful group of morning college baristas! So friendly full of smiles.
Located on corner of Sam Houston Avenue and Avenue I. Very close to College.
I stopped by here for few hours to catch up on some work and enjoy this recently built interior. (2022) It offers good-sized parking with about twenty spaces.
I ordered in my personal cup, Earl Grey Black Tea with Perfect Protein Bar. The Hot Tea was good as usual full of Lavender and Bergamot flavors. Protein bar, I wouldn’t recommend. It has a strange texture and taste to it… Sandy. But I know most Starbucks locations carry them. Not my cup of tea.
This modern space is large, brightly lit and inviting. Plenty of seating for you to relax, work or study if you’re a college student.
As soon as you walk in, you will find to the left a spot to place and Pick-Up your order, along with two tall tables with four chairs. To the right, you’ll find one large leather bench with plenty of outlets and USB ports, four tables and three chairs.
Additionally, you’ll discover against large corners of the windows, conference-sized table with six chairs. Also available inside, five tables with ten chairs.
The hard-covered patio is pretty large, allowing you to spread out and not feel crowded. Here, you can enjoy ten tables with twenty-four chairs.
Overall, it was a great experience and I’m looking forward...
Read moreIts really unfortunate that this is the only starbucks on my way to school. Every time I order ahead for a drink, I usually do it when I'm 10 minutes up the road, then when I get there, it takes another 10-15 minutes to get my drink waiting inside. The last time I ordered ahead, I got there, waited inside (there was one person already waiting, and another that just checked out), and sat there while one of the baristas took a while to start my drink, then left it sitting in the blender for a while as he made 2 more drinks, then he stood around for a bit before finally dumping my drink into the cup and let it sit there again while starting yet another drink. It took nearly 20 minutes from the time I ordered to when I got the drink, and my order spent most of the time just sitting there, melting. I came back today (4/24), and decided to try pick up in the drive through. It was much faster than going inside, so I was happy about that, but when I got to school and took a sip, I noticed there was a hair embedded in the drink that didn't match the color of mine. One of the worst...
Read moreI rarely leave reviews, but I felt the need to share my recent experience at this Starbucks. When we pulled up to the drive-thru, a team member named Alex took our order over the intercom. From the beginning, she seemed rushed and impatient, cutting us off as we tried to order and making the whole interaction feel hurried and uncomfortable.
Before we could finish, another male associate suddenly jumped in over the headset, also pressuring us to wrap up the order quickly. It felt like we were being rushed out, rather than treated like valued customers.
We understand the drive-thru can get busy, but there’s a way to keep things moving without making customers feel unwelcome. This visit left a bad taste in our mouths—and it wasn’t from the coffee.
When we got to the window she just told me my total. Could you bother...
