I always come before work, way too early in the morning. While I’m half dead still these girls are always so nice and cheerful. I also think it’s the sweetest thing when they write things on our cups which they never fail to do. Definitely the nicest Starbucks around our area!

One of the cleanest Starbucks that I have seen throughout the country, attentive staff, good food. I love how the weeds in the rear landscape are left to grow wild and natural how they are supposed to. @memerios1020

Very nice and modern Starbucks! There is lots of room for seating on the interior as well as the exterior of the building. It is kept very clean and well-maintained. Our orders were made fresh and in a timely manner. The staff is very nice. We will definitely visit this Starbucks again.

Good customer service! Would definitely drive 25 minutes again for this Starbucks. The guy and the girl with glasses both were really nice and the girl greeted me with a nice attitude and the guy helped me figure out what I wanted! I recommend this Starbucks 10/10 :)

Best Starbucks location I've been to, the staff is really the heart of why I enjoy this location so much, everyone is always so pleasant and kind, I live about 4 minutes away from a different location and drive out of my way to this store just to get my coffee!
