My experience last week at this particular Starbucks location was awful. It's great that they've got the hours for students (like myself), but the service was so horrible that I can't justify returning. The employees were rude, distant, and looked extremely unhappy to be there. I could not get a "hello" out of anyone on staff, despite smiling and greeting each of them with a hello. I used to work in a coffee shop, and in my time there, it was absolutely unheard of to take a customer's order without first smiling and saying "Hi, how are you today?" followed by "what can I get for you?" or a variation of that. Even if you're not having a great day - EVEN IF IT KILLS YOU - you should greet customers properly. The employees' disinterest really destroyed my experience there. But I digress - my coffee was fine, and if you're into having your "hello"s blatantly ignored by a disenchanted staff, please, go there and enjoy copious amount of outlets, 24 hour operation, dim lighting, and overflowing trash cans. I personally will be heading over to Starbucks across the street from Sprouts in Walnut Creek. The staff is always very friendly, they keep the place clean, and its open late!
Would you recommend Starbucks - Contra Costa & Gregory - Pleasant H to others? No
