Starbucks

The Century Park Starbucks is a nice stop if you take public transit and need to kill time in between trips however keep an eye on the time. This Starbucks is located near the Century Park Bus Depot and LRT Station. I would choose this Starbucks over the Snack Bar that is located inside the Bus depot.
I have visited this location a lot and I have to say the staff are friendly The Baristas excel at their drink making. The staff are always polite and usually every employee will say hello. If you ever need a drink suggestion they usually have good ideas however, I usually stick to my «Usual» choice of beverages. They have yet to get it made wrong. They usually have a good selection of their baked goods no matter what time of the day which is nice.
The drive thru is always quick and easy. The inside is the typical Starbucks décor and merchandise but that’s not a bad thing. The downside to this location is the parking. There are only a few spots to park, There are nearby lots but sometimes walking isn’t ideal so that’s why I tend to stick to the Drive thru. I shop at the nearby Sobeys so I’ll end up stopping by as a treat.

Let’s start with the good! The staff are really friendly, their bakery items (I had a browny) were really good, I didn’t have to wait too long considering how busy it was, and got the correct order (although with way too much cinnamon). On the down side I have a few issues that will result in me never returning to this location. I get the logic of being busy and cutting little corners to get customers through the door, but throwing dirty used steamed milk jugs and whatever else that needs cleaning across your clean work space into the sink is gross. Re-​steaming milk can get people sick. Not cleaning down the steamed milk spout and pushing through your lines can cause some bad cross contamination and get people sick. When pouring milk into a steamer jug and managing to pour it through your hands somehow you need to learn how to properly pour milk. If your work station is more milk then stainless steel, take the second and wipe it down. When lifting your steamer jug all the different milks are dropping into whatever is sitting there. If for whatever reason I couldn’t have lactose I would be one sick person. All this being said, I didn’t mention anything to the staff because the barista looked a bit overwhelmed. So I won’t go back knowing that if the visible corners are cut who knows what else there is that I didn’t notice. But again, the staff were super nice. :)

I love this Starbucks. Staff are always really happy and friendly. I have never had an order wrong, never had any issues with service. Overall an amazing store. But… Please put a garbage can in the drive thru! I always forget to throw out my old Starbucks cups and end up having to put them on the floor in my car :(

Dropped by this Starbucks drive-​thru to partake in their new Toasted Graham Latte, which by the way is pretty good.
I didn’t get the opportunity to go in to the store, so this review is based solely on my experience in the drive-​thru; I found the employee to be quite friendly as with efficient, barely had a wait for my drink to arrive.
One thing I did notice was how small the parking lot area for the Starbucks is due to the other surrounding businesses, so it can be a bit of a pain when you’re trying to exit the drive-​thru and there’s a variety of people trying to park, find a spot or get out of one.
Nevertheless, I’d definitely come back!

A busy Starbucks location with a small seating area. I like this location as it’s large south facing windows make it warmer than many of the overly air conditioned stores. Sunny south facing patio often has nice flower pots. Standard Starbucks fare with efficient staff.

For a Starbucks, this location is one of the best. I’ve been frequenting this location for a couple years now, and they are quite consistent with making the drinks good. The baristas are all very friendly, there’s a fair amount of seating, and the place is kept clean. It’s really my favourite Starbucks on the south side!

Your typical coffee spot that has too little seating for the location! I never seem to be able to find a seat as its always busy & when there is seating its hard to have a conversation given the ‘crowded’ feeling!

The local Starbucks where everybody knows your name. Well, at least they do when you come here almost everyday!
My favourite Starbucks location, I’ve been coming here since the days of University and crazy exam schedules. The baristas are friendly, the drinks are consistent, there is lots of parking, and the bathrooms are always clean.
A word to the wise, avoid the frappucino rush. What is the frapp rush you ask? The 3:15ish time on the weekdays when junior and senior high students alike congregate en mass from the transit station and all order frappucinos. If you are here during frapp rush, be prepared to wait and rediscover your inner 15 year old self!

I’ve been bad. I’ve been visiting this Starbucks more frequently that I should be, but it’s all in the name of good health. Scout’s honour.
One, it’s exactly 4.0 km from my place, so husband and I have been taking more walks here in summertime. It’s a sunny route and it’s good exercise, and so this Starbucks has become our «halfway done our walk» treat.
I also go to Spa Lady in the same parking lot, so sometimes I grab a post-​workout frap on my way home. Whaaat, I deserve it.
At the end of the day, a Starbucks is a Starbucks is a Starbucks. The same drinks, the same treats, the same amount of seating, etc. I just really like the location.

This is my Starbucks of choice, my Zen, my happy place. My best friend and I have been coming to this particular Starbucks for 5 years. Starbucks has seen us laugh and cry, it has heard our stories of heartache and butterflies. Starbucks has comforted us when we felt down, and listened to our gossip and seen the first’s in our lives. When ever there is an emergency there is always «time for Starbucks». Maybe I’m giving this particular Starbucks a 5-​star rating because it holds a little place in my heart. The drinks just always taste so much better here, but let’s be honest coffee beverages just taste that must better with my best friend. I love Starbucks, I have always loved Starbucks, and I will always continue to love Starbucks. It just holds a place in my heart.

I love coffee. And Starbucks is always a good choice.
Something I really love is in the summer the occasionally have
Dog treats for your companion. And it’s what makes this location a high favorite.
