Starbucks

It is New Year’s Day, but it’s not a great start. They were out of 1% milk, and it took longer to get warmed food than I have ever experienced at a Starbucks. One of our orders was lost.

Foothills drive-​thru is awesome. Quick service and always friendly. This local is always busy all times of the day. Just wish my favorite drink didn’t cost close to six dollars. But I can walk to this local so I consider it my gym membership. They do have a secret drink menu, I like the Peanut Butter Cup Frap

No thanks! 113 out, super windy, I pull in here on a trip back to San Diego from Tucson on a Sunday around 11:30 am. Bathroom is a mess, trash on the floor, grimy, icky. Ok, fine, it’s right off the freeway, perhaps they had a big morning rush. I let it go.
Then, I stand in line behind two people for almost 10 minutes. Really?! The guy running the register is clueless, the other staff are too busy chit chatting about their previous evening’s booty calls (Yes, you could hear what they were talking about) to help him. Finally, it’s my turn, yay! «I’ll take a huge iced black tea, no sweetener, this yogurt and a chicken sandwich.» He takes a couple minutes to try and punch it in to the register, no eye contact or greeting from him to me. «We don’t have food on Sundays we don’t get our load.» Could they have put up a sign? Maybe on the front door or at a minimum on the food case?! At this point, I’m at 30 minutes in to what was supposed to be a quick restroom stop, grab some food and get back on the road. I reply «Alright, a sign would have been really helpful.» He blinks at me a few times and says «Do you still want the tea?».
Another 5 minutes to get my tea and I’m on my way. Big fail at this location. I won’t be back.

Imagine the first pin set on a 300 role. Your 200 pound mastiff is the ball and the 5 patio tables, chairs and patrons are the pins. One of the pins has a barky maltese. Suddenly all hell breaks loose. The mastiff just wants to introduce himself but in the process knocks down every stick of furniture and patron trying to enjoy the morning. The staff was great. Everyone got their drinks replaced, tables and chairs righted and Goliath provided with a water bowl. The maltese and her elderly owner made a timely exit. Thank god no one broke a hip! Another great day at our neighborhood Starbucks.

My go-​to Starbucks when I am making my frequent trips between Tucson and San Diego. It is sort of half way and good for re-​caffeination.
Service is solid, not too slow. Good staff, friendly and quick each time I have visited. Bathrooms are clean for the most part.

I get the same thing… Large black I’m sure the rest is great but not a sweets kinda guy.

One of the best Starbucks there are. It’s clean, fast, friendly and an easy stop along the I8. The food and drinks are of quality. Glad to have it in my neighborhood!

A nice Starbucks branch. Friendly baristas. Clean with plenty of tables both inside and outside.
It’s a great location right off the 8… In between SD and Phx…
The drinks are your usual Starbucks drinks. Our iced white chocolate mocha was made well.
