Starbucks — Restaurant in Philadelphia

I've visited this place twice.

Tried the lavender matcha as made which was just okay.

Couldn't taste either the lavender cream flavor nor the matcha.

Ended up thinking I should have just gone with my customary matcha order.

Second time, I ordered my customized blonde espresso.

It missed as well.

Tasted nothing like what I actually ordered and I wound up going back to the store and asking the guy there to correct my drink which he did by just adding a few pumps of syrup to the drink I already had but it didn't fix the issue whatever that was.

I still have no idea but I just know it was made all wrong.

I didn't even finish the drink which NEVER happens ever lol.

Oh well, I do love Starbucks and prefer it over DD any day so I'm sure I'll be back and just hope for the best on my next go.

There has to be a barista here that can get it right!

Place was decent and people were dining.

Bathroom was gross and there was no soap to wash hands.

If there were a DD somewhere in the vicinity, I'd prolly go there instead of this particular...

Mass chaos. While the baristas were very kind, One of them chose to wear her mask only covering her mouth while she loaded the coffee beans into the espresso machine without gloves on. She also kept taking her mask off to talk to her colleagues then proceeded to touch the coffee beans without sanitizing her hands. This went on for 20 minutes. Naturally, I canceled my espresso order. In the middle of a pandemic, this type of unsafe practice from an establishment is completely unacceptable. There is no safe distancing within the store and they were allowing customers to enter without masks on despite the signs on the door. As a physician, I can promise you that I will never return to this location and will find local coffee shops to support instead...

Very upset bc usually this service is okay. but today I asked for a Trenti/large WITH VANILLA AND SOY. and an oatmeal with soy. get all the way home and take a sip only to see he put no vanilla. when I said WITH VANILLA TWICE. clearly. it's not loud so I with vanilla and soy how do you miss. oatmeal! the wasn't aware they didn't have fruit until I was handed the oat meal, get home and open it up there's barely any soy milk in it. its dry and as you can see in the picture they clearly didn't put enough in it. starbucks is expensive and this was just a waste of money and a trip as this is the closes one to me...
