Starbucks - Carmel

This location's cold coffees always taste like DISH SOAP! I would assume it's because the containers they keep the iced coffee, and cold brew in are not rinsed out well enough. I have mentioned this a number of times, and have even had a barista agree with me. My drink was replaced but still tasted like soap. I DO NOT have this issue at the other locations I often visit.

After a bad experience at a different starbucks. I felt like it was necessary to give this starbucks (which is my regular starbucks) a good review! Everyone at this location deserves a raise! You all rock.

This is one of the fastest Starbucks I have ever been to. They decorate for the holidays and they have recycled coffee bag planters with plants ? ?

The best part was the barista that I met at the window. I didn't catch their name (I didn't look) but they were super sweet and had a warm personality.

Long line as usual so my GF ran in to get us a couple of coffees. When she does that I usually kick back the seat and get on FB cuz I know it will be a while. She startled me when she got back to the car, with our orders, in like 10 min. She did not order in advance either. I couldn't believe it. Fastest in store order I can remember. Thank you SO much, cuz we were really in a hurry (and I had to be convinced to stop. lol). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
