My recent visit to the Starbuck's Target location gave me trust issues. I ordered my usual almond milk latte, and that first sip… ghastly. Turns out, the almond milk had gone rogue.
Now, I get that things spoil, but the way the barista barely flinched when I complained? That's what gets me. Did they know? Was this some twisted social experiment? Corporate gave me a $30 voucher, but honestly, what I really want is the FDA conducting a surprise raid on their fridge.
Look, bad lattes happen. But knowingly serving spoiled ingredients? That's not just a recipe for a bad day, it's a potential health hazard. Starbucks, we need to talk about those quality control standards. And maybe invest in some backup almond milk that is fit for human consumption.
Oh also, the conversations I had with SB corporate customer service were like the cop shows where the suspect has to tell the same story a thousand times. Only I was the suspect! I talked to at least 3 humans on the phone, had a chat and a series of emails. I relayed the same story each time. Do they not have a centralized computer system where they keep this information?? I spent an hour engaged with them today, and at the end of it all, I feel even less confident that anything will be done.
Will not go back to this location.

Despite having limited staff they are efficient and make great drinks. I’ve been coming here more often and they have consistently made better drinks than the standalone Starbucks I was going to previously.
I will say I’m basing this experience off the past year - since they renovated their space in the Target. They definitely have improved greatly since then staff wise!

This the worst Starbucks I have ever been to. I ordered strawberry frappe with vanilla bean powder white mocha and strawberry inclusions. The lady there ignored us and later told the other worker to come take our order. For some reason she didn’t like us. And the guy who made our order didn’t even bother to put any care into our order. The guy working there just gave us a different order. Those people they don’t know what they doing there.

I got a pike coffee and it tasted really bad, very disappointing, I hope whoever is in charge sees this and start teaching the employees how to make proper Starbucks coffee. Saturday may 27, 2023 approx at 5:40 pm
The coffee is fine, but the staff is iffy. For the most part, they all seem very lazy at this location. I usually get this feeling that they feel inconvenienced that they have to do their job lol. And I'm not one of those people that come in near closing time; that's a huge pet peeve of mine. I'm talking hours before they close, and when I'm the only customer and it's not busy at all. Weird.
