Starbucks - Des Peres

I went to this Starbucks in May and there was a worker there and I wish I knew her name. But I remember she had a tattoo on her arm in Arabic. She was so friendly, I wasn’t in the best mood when I walked up. But her being so welcoming and kind put a smile on my face. Honestly brightened my day.

I was there tonight for the $3 frappes they girls there were moving very fast and being polite. One girl making the drinks handed one of and got yelled at for i don’t know what because she was being very nice. She even told the rude older lady to have a good night in tears. She continued to make good drinks while being discouraged and upset. Will come back here a aging. Good people, good drinks.

I work at the mall and mobile order a drink here before every shift. It always tastes great, and the staff is friendly. I can’t speak for how well they do with in person orders, since I haven’t done any in a while, but that being said, I highly recommend using the Starbucks mobile app. It’s very easy to use and very well implemented at the restaurant. Just order your drink 5-10 minutes before you get to the kiosk (depending on how busy the mall is), grab the drink, and skip the 15 minute wait.

Just wanna say that Alex was the sweetest barista I’ve ever encountered. And I love her blue hair. But so professional, upbeat, and kind to me and my kids yesterday.

I like Starbucks coffee and its usually fast service. It can be a great place to hang out, or get some work done. I love that they pay their employees well. The only thing missing for me is that homey feeling, that neighborhood individuality that I love.
