Great presentation of drinks and mercandise display.
This location just re-opened after a major renovation/overhaul. I’m not sure what the reasoning behind it was (technology?) but I’m really not a fan.
This morning, I was in at 9am. For all the dozens of times I’ve been to this location, it was the first time I’d used the restroom. The sink literally looks like it hasn’t been wiped down in a week. I would’ve done it myself but there are no paper towels (and I’m not about to use TP). Then I thought, maybe the sink is actually supposed to be gray and not white? Nope. I was able to draw lines in the dirt.
Biggest frustration initially with the changes: in-restaurant traffic flow. This location has a double door on the main storefront and a single door on the left hand side, around the corner from the front door. The original setup had the pickup counter located just a few feet inside the side door. (Please note that the side door is the closest access to 75% of the parking.) Mobile orders, which are very popular in this store, could walk in the side door, grab their drink, and go. Those who wanted to order at the counter could go in the front double doors, and the registers are right there. Now they’re flipped. The registers are just inside the side door, and the pickup counter is in front of the main double doors. So pickups who are used to going in the side door now have to cross diagonally to the other end to get their drinks, while people coming in the front doors to order have to cross the opposite diagonal to get to the counters. Even if an online or app order wanted to come in the front doors before, they didn’t have to cross through a line of people, you could just walk in and go left instead of going straight up to order.
The reno took out more than half of the in-restaurant seating. Prior to the redo, there was a small table to your right just inside the front door, a high bar that ran along the inside of the storefront, and multiple tables. Now there are just a few low chairs and tables.
There’s a big display screen showing which orders are being worked on, which are ready, which are still in queue. I understand that this is probably a good thing for several reasons. However, the bright white screen combined with the brighter lighting really makes this feel like a fast food, get-them-in—get-them-out kind of place. It’s lost all resemblance to a coffee shop.
I will still probably stop by here once in a while to get coffee. Probably a few times in the summer when I’m off work. But there’s another Starbucks close to where I work where the employees actually greet you and smile at you when you come in, whether you’re there to order in store or just pick up, and it still feels like a Starbucks used to be. So I think that location is going to become my default, even though it adds five minutes to my commute instead of the 30-seconds to stop here.
I’m really disappointed. I used to love coming in here and lived the people. But no one is really friendly anymore either or if they are it’s insincere (I mean, c’mon, you can tell when someone is really smiling at you or not).
Where this location falls short is the layout. The pickup area gets very congested, and unfortunately, some of that is just due to customers crowding without much awareness. A little reconfiguration could help — maybe reworking the register line to run parallel to the register along the merch area so people can wait behind the glass instead of blocking the counter. Turning the corner of the counter into a designated pickup zone could help too, though I get that the space is limited and not easy to remodel.
If you’re reading this and thinking, “Okay, buddy, we’re not about to redesign the store,” I get it. That’s why I’m still giving this place 4 stars — the service is solid, and the drinks are reliably made.
One last thing: Sunday hours can be inconsistent. The store is supposed to stay open into the evening, but we’ve shown up more than once in the late afternoon only to find it closed. It’d be great if the actual closing time was posted clearly — that way, my fiancée and I don’t get our hopes up for a late-day Starbies run.
