Love this location!! The morning staff are amazing. Always greeted with a Good morning and a Thank you. Have been to a couple other area Starbucks and neither come close to Mad River Road. Thank you for always having my morning coffee hot, exactly the way I like it and starting my day off right.
Good quality Starbucks. I can’t call it a “great” Starbucks because there’s a few repeating issues. Sometimes the store will just be randomly closed and while there’s a sign on the door part of why I choose to go is reliability of Starbucks being open and delivering the same product each time fairly consistently, but it’s closed more randomly/often than other Starbucks; however given the pandemic, low salaries employees make, and general unpredictably of all service/restaurant industries, and the fact that I don’t go to other Starbucks often means I don’t have a great basis of comparison to others for the summer 2022 season.
One bonus they have that other Starbucks don’t is the board game collection. They have like 10ish board games and I love this because it’s so welcoming and inviting and loungy- like I’d bring more people and it’s free advertising. Not sure why more coffee shops don’t have board games, maybe stuff gets stolen, kids, pandemic. Expect to spend $6/drink. That’s not worth it for me, but the lounge and friendly staff make the environment the key selling point for me.
Also while they’re slower due to less staff, it’s 5-star service as long as corporate isn’t running a promotion like double star days. This store shouldn’t participate in bonuses and stuff for growth - I think they’re biting a bit more than they can chew so to speak.
Staff was very friendly. I had some work to do and needed a quick place to get it done. The plugins by the window seating are helpful too. Enjoyed my coffee and sent my emails just in time!
Clean place!
