I like how they are always ready and things are well done.

They truly have their moments, sometimes the coffee is good and sometimes it’s really far off. It’s a gamble, but it’s ight.
Pretty average Starbucks, limited seating

I found this little piece of metal in my drink and almost swallowed it.

Terrible experience!
Machine is always broken. Long waits because there only one self serve kiosk. There should be two registers and workers inputting what you want, like at a real starbucks. And they done even have half and half, or just straight cream. The coffee is expensive and it isn't good. I would rather have cheap dunkin donuts than expensive half *** starbucks coffee.
I have waited for 15 minutes for a chicken sandwich and a frappucino, and when they have delivered to me they gave me a cheese bagel instead of the sandwich
Took me 15min to get an untoasted bagel
