Starbucks

I highly recommend this Starbucks store! I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in the door and saw how spacious, clean and organized it was! The staff was incredibly polite and helpful, and they got our order out to us very quickly!

Great and friendly service at this Starbucks location in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Its location is the closest to Holloman Air Force Base, and during the time we sat and enjoyed our peppermint hot chocolate and peppermint mocha coffee, several servicemen and women stopped by.

We also ordered a ham and Swiss croissant sandwich, chocolate brownie, and a spinach feta wrap. They were delicious!
Recommended. 5/5

This Starbucks is not the worst place, but also not the best. I recommend double checking your drinks and ordering 10-20 minutes ahead depending on the time/day. Once dutch bros opens you may want to go there. If you have more time to wait/drive a local coffee shop will have better service.

Drinks are not always up to standard (or correct at all) depending on who is making them, but can be great with certain people. Baristas are either really nice or really rude. Staff after 5 p.m. used to be the nicer ones, but that's not the case. The newbies are usually the nicer/friendlier ones. There was a girl the other day who was shouting about how the whole town thinks the staff are lazy. Everyone in that lobby was a patient and friendly customer.

Drive thru times are slacking because people at the bar make one drink at a time instead of prepping while shots are pouring. Some of the morning staff are sticking food in the oven for a few seconds but pulling it out cold before the pre-set timer is up to get things done faster, but usually food is coming out faster than drinks anyways.

Overall you are either getting good service or terrible. Depending on who is there for the day.

I am in town for an event, and am so impressed with the experience I just had. Y’all, this place is super short staffed, only the drive thru is open. I can’t fit through this one with my trailer, but they were able to accommodate me inside. These ladies are running like crazy trying to help the huge line that wraps around the building. They are doing a GREAT job, and with cheerful voices and smiles on their faces! Good job Starbucks!!
