Starbucks - Punta Gorda

This is a lovely Starbucks in Punta Gorda located in a busy strip mall on Cleveland Avenue.We drive through occasionally, when we take Freckles to the dog park. This time I went in and Dave took Freckles and sat on their beautifully pavered patio with tables and umbrellas.I got Dave his usual!-Caramel Ribbon Frappacino and Freckles a pup cup. I wanted something with much less carbs so I ordered a cold brew with vanilla. Of course I didn't realize that it was loaded with cream and some vanilla syrup. So the staff was kind enough to make me a cold brew with foam on the top, which I should have ordered in the first place.We then sat outside and even though it was very warm out, but there was great breeze.Freckles finished her pup cup in about two seconds and then proceeded to lick the inside of my drink lol!After all it's fall isn't it! I can't wait to start eating outside like we enjoy! Thank you Starbucks staff!

Friendly service, upbeat vibe, and tasty treats! You can never go wrong with Starbucks!

I sit in the drive thru line as I write this review I have been waiting in line for about 10 minutes. I actually watched a gentlemen drive off instead of waiting. There is only 3 cars including myself and it is taking the employees 20 minutes. Please hire competent employees or shut the location down. The employees Logan, is very nice and competent at taking the orders I don’t know who is making the drinks so slowly. You’re losing customers due to how slow the service is. It’s a very busy location, losing money, due to slow service. That is not good business. Happy customers is good business. A great location, with such slow moving drive thru service. Come in Starbucks you are excellent, let’s see it ??

10 workers are not enough. Everyone was nice but exhausted.

Never went there.Never will.Do not understand why people pay so much for a name .Had 1 coffee at airport years ago. Worst I ever had. Threw away. Only place open at 5am in airport.
