Starbucks Coffee Company — Restaurant in New Canaan

As a gold member since 2007, I've been to my share of Starbucks, and this one is perhaps the most poorly run in the Fairfield area. The staff is very courteous, as is the manager, and they (generally) get the drink orders right, but it usually takes them 15-20 minutes to get the drink ready, compared to the 5-10 minutes a regular Starbucks would take.

Several times I've come in as one of only two or three customers in the entire store and, despite the fact that they were actually over-staffed behind the bar with 5+ employees, nobody seemed to be actually making drinks--instead they seemed to be milling around and trying to look busy, and my drink would still consistently take 15-20 minutes to make. It's actually kind of impressive that they can take so long when the employees outnumber the customers.

This Starbucks is by far the closest to where I live, but I go out of my way to drive the extra 10 minutes to the Starbucks off exit 35 in Stamford, and in the end I actually end up saving time.

So tl;dr: very nice staff, but horrifically...

My least favorite in all of Connecticut! I placed my drink order and started to ask for a pastry at the same time one of the associates went to grab it saying, "Yes! I want that S'more." I sighed and explained I wanted to purchase it. She said she didn't think there were any more, but she never checked. When i asked why I couldn't buy it she said it was because it was broken. At that very moment she reached down and broke the perfectly good S'more in two pieces! After I paid and stepped aside I watched as she proceeded to eat it with another associate who was working the register. I've never seen anything like it in...

Starbucks saved my life during the worst storm in history by giving me shelter food hot water car service a place to dry my hair as well as a place to charge my phone when it had no charge for days. Starbucks gave me free coffee for a week with rides to places I needed to go. Starbucks helped to save the life of a friend's child who was dying but is now alive thanks to the Starbucks coffee company. I'm grateful to Starbucks who saved my life and the life of a friend's child. Thank you to Starbucks and the people who work there you're amazing :) Note: Starbucks is the place in town to meet...
