As always, a great coffee without a ridiculous wait. Love that it's also inside Target. Would give it 5-stars, but I strongly disagree with the prices at any Starbucks. Any coffee doesn't cost that much. Overall a great experience.

The baristas at this Starbucks were very friendly and eager to provide the best service possible. I visited this Starbucks while on a roadtrip with my family and there was a miscommunication about a drink (a relative thought she ordered a warm Matcha drink but it was iced). The barista, Reka, very kindly offered to remake the drink and was very happy to do so. This greatly contributed to our roadtrip because my relative was already cold and instead was able to warm up with the Match drink. Thank you Reka. :D My only suggestion is to add a few tables and chairs to be able to sit down and enjoy the Starbucks drink.

This is the only Starbucks in the area, inside a Target. It's been recently remodeled. I might have a slight addiction to SB iced tea and often hit one up wherever I go. This little place has very friendly service. I got the same barista each time I stopped here. I'm giving it a top rating for fresh tea and great service.

It's a nice place to stop and get a coffee and a bagel. Or a cookie because they're pretty darn good. The regular coffee is your typical Starbucks coffee. The really delicious stuff is the frozen coffee's. The seasonal flavors are usually very yummy. You'll end up spending a lot for just one drink, but it's worth it. If you're one of those people, you can also bring your laptop and sit by the window sipping you're laté pretending you're doing something important.

The baristas are fantastic. Always willing to make your order perfect! Just wish we had an actual Starbucks store instead of a satellite location. But Target is great!

Very fast service here at Starbucks. I've never had a bad time here. The prices are a bit high but definitely worth every penny. I always need some extra energy and this place is the place to go. Very clean and very respectful employees.

Always fast and friendly. This location is smaller than others so doesn't always have everything, but the baristas work hard to make everything right and I've never had a problem!
