Starbucks

My cat Taffy and I visited Starbucks this morning. The line was long but it was well worth the wait. Taffy enjoyed hanging out the window as we waited to get to the window. She's been to Starbuck a few times now so she knows there is a treat coming her way. When we got to the window Taffy tried her hardest to join the girls working. They complimented her eyes and made her feel extra pretty. Taffy loved her treat and I loved my sandwich and coffee! My iced cloud caramel macchiato was perfect and my sandwich was hot and delicious! Thanks everyone for making our morning great!

Very disappointed. We showed up and planned to do the drive thru on our way through town, but the line was pretty long so we pulled into the parking lot and mobile ordered. Enjoyed some quiet time in the car. After about 10min went into the store. For how busy it was I was very surprised at how slow moving staff was. I stood on the marker for mobile ordering to respect social distancing and waited. Probably another 3-4 min for the staff to notice me. At this point another gentleman had even been waiting longer than me to even order. No greetings to either of us or direction.nWe finally were greeted. I was asked my name, and given one of my drinks. Waited for the other.nAfter I got that I immediately brought them to the car. Luckily I started a timer as soon as I got the drink so that the tea wasn't over steeped... even though there was no direction on that from staff. The most disappointing part was when we opened the lid to take the tea bags out there was 3/4 gap between the foam and top of cup.. so by the time we took out the tea bag we have over an inch an a half gap.nnGlad I paid for the venti to get a grade.nThe tea lattes are a rip off. If you want something good go to a place that cares about their coffee.nnThe blonde espresso is still over roasted as well...nOverall two really crummy cups of coffee. Will be sticking to local shops in ankeny from now on.nIf you are an avid sharbucks style coffee drinker try Cafe Diem. Specialty is hands down Blue Bean.

HUUUGE shoutout to this Starbucks and the wonderful lady who helped me! I lost my card and didn’t realize it till I opened my wallet. I only had enough cash to get one of my items but she gave me both of them anyways. Thank you!! Sorry I didn’t look at your name tag!

This is the only Starbucks Im going to go to in Ankeny. The one on N Ankeny Blvd is slow and can never give you what you ask for when you order drinks. They are also very sloppily made/spilling over. I have never had that problem here. In the fall we drive the extra distance because their pumpkin spice lattes are the best ones in town. They’re the only one that gets my order correct when I ask for extra something. They make the BEST iced caramel macchiatos ever. I’m going to stop making the mistake of NOT coming to this one every single time.

Hands down the best Starbucks in Ankeny. Friendly, efficient baristas, clean store, and my order has always been accurately made!
