If you like to take advantage of the Starbucks refill policy do not go to this Starbucks. For the first time in many years as a loyal Starbucks customer I have been denied a refill at this Starbucks location.
I decided to give this Starbucks a try for the first time since I live nearby. After finishing my Venti Iced Coffee where I remained under the Starbucks patio umbrella, I asked the Starbucks employee for a refill. The Starbucks employee then spoke with the manager and came back to the window and told me that this Starbucks does not do refills. I replied by stating that I thought it was Starbucks policy.

I held the warmth of their kindness and support all day in my heart. Thank you guys ♥️ they deserve all the good the company...
Read moreI’ve been going to this starbucks for quite some time now and have experienced a few bad things. First, my friend was given moldy blueberries that had expired 3 days prior, it was visually clear that they were old due to the white mold that grew on them. I don’t understand how the employees couldn’t see that. Second, I ordered a white chocolate mocha and after drinking it I opened it up and saw clumps of some sort all over the sides and inside. I’m not completely sure what it is or if it was harmful but it definitely disturbed me. It seems that the workers are always changing and I almost never see the same...
