I'm in Syracuse. Came down to Elmira due to my sister being in labor. Had no sleep for 26 hours, and needed a boost. So we ran all the way to this Starbucks for some coffee. I had LOUDLY said almond milk with my order, watched the man make it and he put in whole milk. I'm allergic to milk and my Starbucks out here in Syracuse actually takes it seriously.

I visited this Starbucks while on a roadtrip with my family and there was a miscommunication about a drink (a relative thought she ordered a warm Matcha drink but it was iced). The barista, Reka, very kindly offered to remake the drink and was very happy to do so.
