Starbucks

Like many people, I’m a huge loyal Starbucks fan. Since my son was 6 years old, we would have “Starbucks Saturday” where I would dedicate 1 hour to him, to talk about anything he wanted over my Grande Red Eye and a Starbucks apple juice. He’s 21 now. 🤗. And for the last 12 years I’ve worked remotely at various Starbucks locations so it’s like “home” to me. I’m writing this review because like I said, I’ve worked at many locations throughout the Chicago/suburban area, and I have to say that the Starbucks Deerfield location (Deerfield and Waukegan Rd) is hands down the BEST - best in service, best in atmosphere, best in food (always in stock) and the cleanest (which is a huge thing given not all locations are clean or have clean bathrooms). I attribute this all to the manager, Mylen (spelling?) who hires the best people and I can tell, runs a well managed store. Being new in the area, they knew my name and my regular order by week 2. It’s a family atmosphere where the community who come here, are friendly and the staff are professional. One day I told the manager “I have to tell you this is the best Starbucks location I’ve ever been to…” and he said “thank you. I’ll share your feedback with the team”. That response explained it - great management, great team. If you’re ever in downtown Deerfield and have a few min to sit down for coffee… come here…. and just take it all in. 🤣. Great friendly atmosphere !

Literally so kind. I accidentally placed my breakfast order at the store further down the street and I had to go open at my job, so I wouldn’t have enough time to grab my food further away. I figured it was going to just be a lost breakfast on my part but the employee made my day by filling my order here even though it was completely my mistake. Thank you so much, I’m running on 2 hours of sleep and i really needed to eat. You were beyond kind in helping me out.

Never in my life have we gotten our order in less than 5 minutes. We had 4 drinks prepped and ready in 4 minutes. Wow, and they were all done right! I've been to other Starbucks in Austin Texas, Harlingen Texas, San Antonio Texas, Pensacola Florida, Baltimore Maryland and this location is the best! Everywhere else took a lifetime for Pike Place only.
