Starbucks

My experience at this cute little Starbucks exceeded my satisfactory expectations. The barista was super patient with me, being that I was ordering an intricate tiktok recommended drink. (I ordered the strawberry açaí lemonade, with 1 pump of raspberry, topped with passion tea. It was absolutely divine. ) But can we discuss location? It is intimately located within the Trader Joe’s and the train area! Need I say more? Oh but, yes I do need to say more. Cute little sofas with the Chicago tribune entropically sprawled upon the coffee table adjacent to it? Umm. Yass queen. Sign me up! (Especially since I left in such a hurry that I forgot my chic MacBook). I’ll be visiting this one again. Oh, but wait. I have a lot more locations to go.

The last time I came here, my mother (who suffers some hearing loss) asked a barista to repeat himself. He sighed loudly, rolled his eyes, and proceeded to talk to her very slowly and loudly, over-enunciating each word as though she were stupid. My mother is too humiliated to ever come back here. So much for Starbucks celebrating diversity.

Literally just left from there. Not sure if the barista was just in a bad mood but he was not pleasant at all! He put my sandwich down without saying a word so someone else picked it up because she assumed it was her sandwich seeing that she was there first. Then he proceeds to make my venti drink as a grande and thought it was ok to just fill the cup up with lemonade to cover his mistake … my mango dragon fruit lemonade just tastes like lemonade 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’m not sure if it’s new staff but they need some more training. Very unhappy
