"when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true"
It took two years of me wishing, and hoping, and thinking, and praying for a Starbucks to open where I worked. Then, lo and behold, I'm walking down the street and see the green double-finned mermaid above a sign that read "Starbucks".
Now, granted I changed job locations two months after this store opened, the small window of time when this was my go-to bux was filled with more good experiences than bad. It's not the largest Starbucks I've been to, but this is an urban and densely populated area of the Bronx so that's expected. Because of the number of businesses in the area as well as all the courthouses, you can imagine it was crowded. They almost always got my drink right, with my only complaint being they didn't always have blonde roast brewed (I'm an impatient person and never wanted to wait for a pour-over).
It was only natural for this area to eventually get a Starbucks, and I'm glad it finally happened.
This location should strictly be visited in the morning or early afternoon, staff is amazing then, there is one gentleman who stands out, very kind and has a projective voice when it comes to handing out drinks, very tall guy, wears glasses I think.
ANYWAYS, this rating was a difficult one because upon walking into this Starbucks at about 8:30pm, only 2 employees were there one I think was a manager. She was chatting it up with her boyfriend (also threw some PDA in the mix) while the barista at the beverage station was busy chatting up another dude.
I stood in an imaginary line for about 5 minutes before even being acknowledged, after placing my beverage order I then asked for the code to the bathroom, the manager or supervisor whatever she is took priority yet again of chatting it up with her boyfriend while I just stood there waiting for her to finish.
Honestly this is why we can't have nice things in the Bronx, I get it, there was only an hour and 30 minutes to closing but that is no excuse ever to stop being professional in your workplace oh and also take care of the paying customer.
