Starbucks

I’ve come through the drive-thru a few times since this location opened, but I had my first experience within the store this past Thursday.

Jen was amazing! So welcoming! My niece asked about a fake viral drink, “under the sea,” and Jen shared that it wasn’t real. Jen continued to engage with my niece, who then asked for a drink that was pink in color. Jen had an idea and asked my niece “do you trust me,” to which my niece replied, “yes.” My niece liked it, and probably would have loved it with one extra pump of vanilla.

The music was great, and the leather and wood furniture was warming. The color of the chairs is reminiscent of cinnamon. There is also an outdoor patio area with umbrellas guests can open if they do choose.

Overall, I have had pleasant experiences both inside and in the drive-thru. Jen is a gem!

Long wait at drive thru window even when mobile ordering. Staff are very perky. Often times they are out of pastry items, only offering to replace it with a lesser pastry. Never have reusable cups available.

So happy to finally have a Starbucks in Crete!Today was my second time visiting this location. The drive thru was FULL (if someone got in line behind me they would have been in the road) when I arrived. I brought my pups with me, so I didn't really want to go inside, or else I probably would have at this point.

The order taker was great. While you could tell he was still learning, he was very nice and it made all the difference. Suddenly I didn't mind that the line was moving slowly or that I had to wait a minute to order once I actually got to the speaker.

Overall, I think I was there for about 15 minutes- which isn't out of the ordinary for going to Starbucks when they are busy these days. My drink and croissant were hot, fresh, and delicious. I'll definitely be back.
