Starbucks - Fairbanks

Ordered an americano and it tasted like i was licking charcoal. literally undrinkable. waste if $3.00

As a huge fan of Starbucks , this is BY FAR the worst one to date. The customer service is just awful. The drinks are wrong every single time. Now I don't quite know if Fred's employees are just put working Starbucks for a month at a time , or if they are Starbucks employees but it's just terrible. Need a coffee while you shop ? Get one before hand.

It is a store version of dieucks. nothing spectacular, but cynthia killed it with my hazelnut bat. one of the best I had in the city.

This is the absolute worst Starbucks I've been to in my life. 1- the barista was very rude, she had no sociable skills and needs an attitude adjustment. (Reddish hair, no name tag, bigger chest) For example laughing behind the counter, throwing cups and lids on the floor. 2- Out of everything. No brewed coffee, no vanilla, and apparently no espresso for the drinks? Instead of asking what we want, you should start with the plethora of items not in stock. 3. Once we finally got the drinks, the hot ones were mostly foam. And referring to the comment about no vanilla, she was still selling drinks that usually have vanilla at the base. So she just sold the drinks knowing ingredients would be missing. (Vanilla latte, macchiato, mocha, etc). The espresso drinks also didn't taste like any espresso was there and we didn't even hear the machine run so not sure if any coffee even made it in there at all. Not professional, not prepared, and not a basic experience. Zero stars.

The coffee was disappointing and ended up going down the drain. It seems like they’re using cheaper coffee that tastes more like tea. When I first tried it, I thought it was a mistake, but the same issue occurred in Alaska. After 20 years of being satisfied with Deaducks coffee, this will be my last cup. This is a classic business tactic: they make a quick profit for a few years before customers realize the quality has plummeted, leading to a loss of sales and ultimately causing the brand to go bankrupt and disappear.
