Starbucks

When visiting generic coffee chains like Starbucks, one comes to expect a certain level of service, but this Lakeshore location just goes to show that there are always exceptions.
Terribly slow service, even during off-​rush hours.
Passive aggressive barista. The era of service with a smile is long gone, the most you can hope for now is that the bitter college kid serving you will get your drink right within two tries.
Manager that sides with employee after her blatant mistake at the register instead of salvaging the situation. Why is it that another barista has to clear up the problem when someone senior should know better?
In short, positively glowering in the corner as I type out this review. Seems rather fitting their free wifi should be used towards this end.
Time to invest in a water belt for my runs instead coming here after a trek for overpriced, watered down iced tea served with a heaping side of attitude.

This starbucks is situated in a very convenient location in Downtown which offers free parking. The problem is that is pretty small and pretty busy! So do not expect to go and find a table and work peacefully in your computer. If you just need a quick fix for a coffee and want to come in and out then this location will be perfect for you!

This Starbucks location gets my order incorrect every single time. On this particular visit, I could tell that the person taking the order wasn’t passing it on correctly, so I repeated the order — 6 times. They still got it wrong.
They mess up even simple orders.
The only reason we go here is that it’s conveniently attached to the Canadian Tire. Otherwise, I’d avoid this location.

In the morning, the folks here are super friendly and very quick. I can pop in and out, after parking my car in the covered lot, never a line up and lots of smiles.
I can’t say the same for the in the evening. I came by tonight, and my Green Tea Latte is over sweet, and the girls here were chatting as if they didn’t want to be there. I need to hear this.
In terms of a work space, there’s a narrow corridor with 2 seats, good for working but only if you won’t get annoyed by the people passing in and out. Otherwise, there are two other tables on the other end, and a patio. I wouldn’t recommend coming here to stay long term.

Great location for a quick coffee fix when you’re picking stuff up at other stores. I think there’s a patio, but I haven’t really ever come here just to hang out.

Man, was I in a good mood when I wrote the previous review. True, the customer service was great that day, but I can’t give this place the same amount of stars I’ve given Mercury, Mascot, Dark Horse etc. They KNOW coffee. Starbucks SERVES coffee.
