I waiting almost 20 mins for a small Carmel frappuccino. I watched while 1 guy make almost 10 drinks for their online orders, and drinks just sat there. Then they finally made my drink and it was not good at all. Like they just rushed. They care more about their online orders more than the customers that's inside the location ordering. I won't go back to this location again.

I ordered a triple grande carmel brulee latte with oatmilk everyday last week. Some days it was good. Some days it tasted weird. One day I ordered it on the mobile and they put the 2nd drink in the wrong spot and it tasted off. I stood there for a long time. What starbucks doesn't understand is when I order it ahead of time I don't have time to stand there to have it remade. I am not going back to waste my money. I have already contacted customer care and they basically said o well. And the reinforcement from the owner that no one cares says everything. I stay 4 mins from the location and I am not going back.

Lovely location drinks are always correct even though I modify them too much sometimes (sorry) food is always warm even if I preorder and staff is super friendly. It often takes a while for my order to get out which is no problem but they just don’t have the staffing to get it out fast. There are kids in the Grosse Pointe area who could work here but it’s so understaffed. This is a great location. Timeliness is an issue as a result of understaffing. This is really the only problem

Placed mobile order 20 mins in advanced. Patiently waited 30 minutes and still no drinks. Politely asked for a status on my drinks and was rudely told I have no idea, as the barista stormed away. Clearly they are stressed out and unorganized. Terrible experience. I live 5 minutes from this starbucks but will not be back. Left my drinks there as I had to be somewhere and couldn’t wait any longer.

This Starbucks is great! They can be busy, but they are very kind and you just have to be patient some days. If you want your coffee in two minutes, go to McDonald’s. The new manager is really friendly and goes out of his way to get to know his customers. They also make your drink super well every time and are very consistent. Great job Starbucks!

The baristas? Amazing. But Starbucks as a corporation has just gone down hill. I mean, was it ever uphill? Not really. Not in my lifetime. I mean, for having a modern-cabin aesthetic, it just feels sterile and uninviting inside. It's so manufactured and unhomely. The drinks are just so outrageously expensive and sweet, that if you're looking for Starbucks, you might as well get a frostie, and if you're looking for coffee, literally go anywhere else. Plus, the music is pretty loud, which isn't the baristas' fault. The locations of the speakers suck. I wouldn't want the workers to be without their jams, so they're cranked up loud enough to be heard by them, but, on that note, they're pointed toward seating. They redesigned but made it more uncomfortable for their workers and their customers. Great job, Starbucks.

I brought in my service dog and was improperly addressed by an employe. this has happened twice in the past two months.Note STARBUCKS--Under ADA regulations, restaurants, and public enterprises cannot ask for a service dog certification. They can, however, ask two questions: Is this service dog trained to support a disability for its handler?What task-specific functions does the dog perform? Neither employee was trained or knew how to address. On 7/8/23 at 10:00am this young lady raised her voice to startle people in the premises. This was very embarrassing and added to emotional distress to my service dog.
