Review from Kenny M.
Yep! Another Starbucks has been built. Somewhere in the world someone is shedding a tear at the thought. "why? Why? WHY? Give someone else a chance!" .... I for one am very happy to see a Starbucks located a mere 3 minute drive from my home! I like a mom n paup shop as much as the next guy but mom n paup don't seem to want to build a good coffee shop in my neiborhood.... so be it! Starbucks wins !
Yeah it's new, so expect the staff to still be a little green (snort snort hwa hwa)... When you go through the drive through and one of the workers says " sorry it's been a rough day, do you know what I have been through today???( true story I heard from friend, it didn't happen to me!! But wow!) you know that the staff has got some kinks and still gotta learn how to hold down a groove, it's normal! ... Sort of... Hahaha
So YEAHHHH! Starbucks in my neiborhood!!! it's consistent, expensive and a rather nice place to sit and have a chat. not gonna lie, I was and still am very exited!! -

I really want to be anti-Starbucks, but it is so hard when they are literally everywhere! My friend and I used to get together at the Second Cup across the street, and were pretty disappointed when it shut down, I think we now know why it did.
Why do I hate Starbucks? Well first of all I don't drink coffee, I drink tea or hot chocolate, so why would I spend $2 something for hot water and a tea bag, when I can get the same at Tim's for a dollar less. Plus there is something about their Earl Grey that really grosses me out. I am definitely not the demographic they are targeting, yet I'm one of the few that don't drink coffee, so when my friends want to get together for coffee, I kind of get pushed to these places. At least I've discovered tea Latte's so it expanded my choices at Starbucks (and the frappaccinos are pretty good), but I definitely see this place as a waste of whatever money I have.
None-the-less I've been here once a week the past little while to catch up with a friend, so Starbucks is earning money off of me. The place is pretty small in regards to seating, and whatever seats they do have are pretty cramped together. The last time I went they had one girl running the front of house, and one doing drive thru, which was fine because it was slow, but at one point seven people walked into the place and the poor girl at the front had to scramble to make coffee. I realize that the girl isn't necessarily touching my drink, but should she really be handling money and making a drink after? I also found it strange that two people show up from the backroom after the crowd cleared; I don't know if they were on break but half your staff shouldn't be on break at the same time.
The place feels pretty busy and packed right now for what it is, which worries me since Deer Valley Mall is pretty much a dead end right now, so what's it going to be like once the area is fully renovated and in full swing as a shopping area? -

FTR!
Finally a starbucks meters away from my door. From time to time I get sick of having to drive to Shawnessy or Willowpark to get my coffee fix when all I want is somewhere close.
Still a fairly new location. Like all starbucks suburb locations, this one is quiet and from time to time holds few people, unlike the more busier locations where you can soak up the cafe scene.
The last two times I've been here, they've been nice enough to give away some baked goods, which I presume were a little old but not old enough to be of concern. Free poppy seed bread, yeehee!
Also to Kenny M and Dan D. Let the check in race begin! :D -
