Starbucks — Restaurant in Saint Louis Park

Must say I am very impressed with this Starbucks. I went to Caribou up the street to get a jug of coffee for a work meeting at 12:00. I came in at 11:25 and the rude barista said you need to give us at least a 30 minutes heads up (I was 35 minutes before the noon time I needed it lol). She told me she could do it but needed 20 minutes (no big deal). She runs my card to only come back 5 minutes later saying they had no jugs. What a joke! I was refunded and I left.

I went to this Starbucks and the barista greeted me with a smile. I asked for a jug of coffee and she told me it will be FIVE MINUTES! (How about that?) They hooked it up with their carrying case and I couldn't be any more impressed! I asked the barista if they needed a heads up call for jugs of coffee. She told me no you can order that anytime without a heads up... if you're ordering 5 jugs maybe give us a heads up so you don't have to wait 30 minutes (great answer). Really impressed with this Starbucks! Whoever the training manager is she rocks!...

Another time, we stood in front of the counter for about two minutes before we are greeted by the staff. Again, it was not a busy time, but the staff was heating up a sandwich and apparently that was a very distracting task. And the summer drink did not remind me of summer. It came with popping Boba, but the straw was so small that it pre-popped all of the Boba before I could even drink it. Very sad!

I’m usually not very picky, but if I’m going to pay seven dollars for a drink, I’m going to leave an...

This is not a full-featured Starbucks in the sense of having all available drink options. For example, I asked for sugar-free mocha syrup but learned that they didn’t have that, nor did they have heavy cream (only whole milk). In addition, there was only one employee working both bar and register at the end of the day, which did not seem like optimal working conditions for...
