Just went in to Target to return an item and decided to get some coffee here. The order before ours was extremely difficult with six different drinks and special instructions for each drink, examples include three extra shots, ice up to this point etc. The staff handled it very well and apologized to everyone else behind that specific order even though you could tell they were frazzled.

I love coming to this Starbucks! I think the gal who made my drink yesterday was Jess. Most times I come in she is always working, and she always has a smile on her face and is so friendly! I think she could tell I was ordering a drink I had ever tried before. (I found the recipe online - Grande iced brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso w/ pumpkin sauce, pumpkin cream cold foam, & pumpkin spice topping). She was asking me how many pumps of pumpkin sauce I wanted and I wasn’t sure. She was super helpful and recommended *not* getting the full 4 pumps otherwise it would be extremely sweet. So I decided on 2 pumps but was hesitant. After she made my drink and handed it off, she told me “Taste it first before you go, I want to make sure you love it, if not I’m happy to re-make it for you”. I thought that was so nice! I tasted it right at the counter and it was AMAZING! Best tasting drink I’ve ever ordered at a Starbucks. I told her it was perfect and she was really happy that I loved it! Amazing customer service and SO friendly! She has worked at Target ever since I can remember, and I love seeing her at Starbucks because I know I can count on wonderful service & that my drinks will taste amazing

As a Starbucks lover, this Starbucks team is amazing. They are SO kind even when it’s insanely busy. They’re the only Starbucks in town, so it gets extremely busy, but they always do their best to put on smiles and get your drinks out as fast as possible. Connor is seriously the best. He really cares about crafting a perfect beverage and getting to know his regulars. The morning crew is always a joy and they always start my days off with smiles. As I’ve met the lovely staff throughout the last two years, I’ve also made friends with them. Much love for the Buffalo Starbucks team!!

I had a great experience today. It’s Christmas Eve and both Juan and Fernanda were friendly. I tried to give them both a tip, however they were unable to accept it because they work for Target. They were both exceptional.

This place, specifically Jess, always makes my drinks superb. The atmosphere is blacked and busy for a reason, they know how to bring people back for more. My only complaint is when you go in towards close the workers stand around and talk instead of helping you which i get being young but when there people in line, maybe don’t do that.

The drinks are made well. I would suggest you do not stop here when you are in a rush. They tend to be understaffed so it can take a while. But the service is friendly enough and drinks are good if you have the time to wait.
