    Thumbs up Review: Starbucks Millrise

    Went to Starbucks @ Millrise 7115, 150 Millrise Blvd. SW

    What a fantastic experience. Good location, pretty friendly and cute (chicks) staff as usual with Starbucks and neat and tidy probably in accordance to store policy. (at least they're following it)

    Pretty quick service, about 5-8 mins after time of payment.

    Ordered a Grande, Peppermint Mocha Twist.

    Comes with mocha and whipped cream, as I was picking up my drink I realized it didn't look exactly as advertised photos, so I politely asked her what the deal was I don't have no chocolate sprinkles. She didn't argued or suggested any extra charges and added some chocolate sprinkles for me.

    She even asked: "Is there anything else I can do for you?"



    Anyways, Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Twist, yum yum...

    She probably felt safe given the drink you ordered.

    I'd have to agree, I absolutely LOVE that place, I frequent it all the time even though its 20 minutes away from me round trip.

    Service 5/5.... more like 6/5. Half of the time I go there just for the chicks. They're SO nice and fun to talk to.

    next time try a Cinnamon Docle' latte.
    Seriously!

    EDIT: hey I just noticed Tomco's user rating was 101%, WTF?

    The service at most starbucks is impressing me lately. I've gone into the one by me in copperfield at all times of day and every single staff member has been nothing but helpful, cheery and talkative. Even the safeway starbucks across frm malborough mall made me laugh last week. I was having a shitty day and the young girl behind the register made me laugh by suggesting (in a friendly way) that she wouldn't make my drink unless I showed her my best smile! It was simple, weird, but made my morning.

    So just curious, I dont buy coffee ever, even Tim Hortons, but is a 5 to 8 minute wait AFTER payment actually a good time to wait? That seems to be a little bit of a shitty time to make a single coffee... Even when I was a kid working fast food, 2 to 3 minutes was the time we were supposed to stay under for all orders.

    How many people were working and how many people in line?

    not every place does. Depending on the demand, its up to the staff to charge you.

    Starbucks' standard is 3 mins from in the door to out. We all seem to be getting used to the shitty service, so much so that 5-8 mins seems decent now. That's after lining up, ordering and paying? That could possibly be nearly 1/4 of an hour to get a freaking coffee? F-that...
