My wife and I went through the drive through and the speaker stated they were closed. We were stuck behind a car at the window obviously the last customer. We pulled up to the window and the barista Anabella (hope I spelled it correctly) was kind enough to take our order at the window due to us having to wait to leave. That was very kind and we really appreciated the act of kindness. Thank you!!!

Hands down one of the most pleasant drive through experiences I've ever had. The barista taking the order was polite, clear, efficient, and helpful. The store was a little tricky to find but worth it!

I’ve never been a Starbucks person but I started bringing my daughter here before school most days and they’re always drawing the cutest little faces or animals on her hot chocolate cup. They’re so smiley when she orders, too. I can hear their voices perk up when they hear her speaking to the drive thru order window lol. The drawings have gotten more elaborate as time goes on.

Always clean, the staff really go out of their way to get to know you. The only downside is the parking lot. Not many spaces , not easy to get in and out of....don't even attempt with RV or camper
