We were in Johnstown over Mother's Day weekend visiting family. While staying at a nearby hotel, in the past we always got our morning coffee from this Starbucks. When we walked in Saturday morning 11 May 2024, we were impressed with the remodel. The very nice lady behind the counter shared with us the store has been open for a week. What I didn't immediately notice was the new way of brewing the coffee. It's the same idea of brewing one cup at a time being all automated. In my opinion, this is a brilliant idea on paper but not in practice. I like the taste of the old-fashion drip coffee.

Read moreI would like to thank ALL the starbucks employees working at this location this morning around 11am. A situation happened with my young son and they made me feel so much better in a time of absolute crisis. I still can't help but feel guilty for the situation But I appericiate them all from the bottom of my heart, as a mother. It will probably be a hot minute until I return just out of pure embarrassment but seriously. You have some amazing people working there. I did not get the name of the woman who practically gave the shirt off her back due to the chaos, but if you see this. Thank you. And the souvenir you gave will be turned into a quilt and be a family heirloom for all of time. LOL thank you team...
