Starbucks — Restaurant in Lake Township

I visited this Starbucks location after encountering a congested Dunkin Donuts location that sat down the street. After encountering that I thought Subway, but I was on the fence about trying the coffee at Subway then it dawned on me that there is a Starbucks location in the area.

There is plenty of parking at this location because its complex is shared with a few other known businesses that rarely get congested even during peak hours!

Other than being greeted warmly by the employees my first impression after walking into this location is that it is gorgeous! Its layout slightly differs from other Starbucks locations but the items presented remain the same. I loved that it had African art hanging on the wall because it gives it a different vibe. It feels artsy and different with its built-in conference room inside which no other locations have. While sitting briefly enjoying my drink and dessert, I listened to blues music, taking in its interior and watching other customers utilize its WiFi, which is another perk to this location. If you are in a rush with no time to dine-in this location has a drive-thru attached which few Starbucks locations have in Chicago.

As for my order, typically I get the cafe mocha but I forced myself to get something different which I ordered a caramel macchiato and a blueberry scone. I believe this is the first time I ever ordered the caramel macchiato, but overall I enjoyed it and will most likely get it again. Plus, I have no complaints about the timeline I received it.

There is just something about the employee's that work at the businesses in this sector that show a tremendous amount of hospitality, which does not get acknowledged in neighborhoods like Englewood. It is heartwarming to see a neighborhood like Englewood having resources it deserves like this Starbucks, and Englewood Wholefoods, which sits diagonal. One thing I will never forget about visiting this location is the warm welcome I got by the employees after walking in which makes me anticipate visiting again because employee hospitality is contagious when you least expect...

I had been to this location before but went through the drive thru. That service was acceptable. Today, I went in. My overall experience was positive. The inside was very clean, I liked the conference room area. That's a nice touch. Still needing some work in the customer service aspects. I repeated my order 3 times to the cashier. The line was long and slow with one register open during the morning rush. There were no condiments for sandwiches as one young lady insisted on telling me 3 times, "We have honey and agave", as though those options were suitable for a sandwich. However, the sandwich was hot and fresh, and everything was prepared in a timely manner. I'm looking forward to my next visit, thinking good things come in...

I love Starbucks. It's one drink that I get particular, but nobody ever makes it the same. It's almost like it's different every time I get it. And then there's always that one person that makes it the same way all the time, and that's the salted caramel cold brew. I like miles with double salt. And double caramel drizzled on the inside of the cup sum in the phone. You know any shot of blonde with a vente blonde cup of ice water? I don't know. Sometimes everybody just can't get that combination right? You know where I could actually taste the salt in the caramel, and the one person they used to do it. Works at starbucks in indiana cross the street from carvelas now.So that's that unless...
