Starbucks - Forest Grove

A lot of locations are closed, but I really love this one. It seems to be the best spot for enjoying my drinks, and they consistently get my orders right, unlike some other Starbucks. The ambiance is great too! Overall, this is what you can expect from a top-notch Starbucks.

This morning, I visited the café and noticed there were a few customers ahead of me, which wasn't a problem. I saw that there was only one staff member working, Janel. She was very friendly, but clearly overwhelmed by the situation, and I felt sorry for her. I really hope they have more staff tomorrow because it's a café and needs more help. I would have offered to assist her if I could, but I had to get to work. Overall, I just want to highlight that she was incredibly kind and did her best under the circumstances—she definitely deserves a raise!

I've been visiting this restaurant for a while now, and there's a new employee I've just noticed. He’s fantastic! He’s always smiling and checks in with me every time I try something new. If I don’t like it, he’s more than willing to fix it or make something else for me. I really appreciate his attentiveness!

I joined the Starbuck's reward program. There were a few Hiccups as these stars do not post if they should have, my first free drink for registration lasted a whole week longer than the information said it would. But either the shop or the company's headquarters have done it every time. I started ordering only the Chai-Tee-Latte, but on the Barista proposal, tried a black white. This is not one of the menu can not be made in all stores, but it is amazing! Essentially, it is dark chocolate white chocolate mixed together! Then, during a challenge to get extra stars (it's really not that hard to get the gold card! A Barista suggested I try a white tea with strawberry juice. This is my whole time favorite, although I would be added half the sugar syrup! During a safeway just-for-U promotion I tried the egg bites, my favorite (as in I crave is the gryere cheese bacon egg bites! The soft cheeky goodness is what breakfast was created for! Next, the line would be the chicken chorizo egg bites. If you are in the mood for a pastry, have no nuts allergies, you can try the pumpkin bread. I like to taste clear yogurt on it, but I made it particularly decadent by adding vanilla yogurt chopped fruits! This is a Sunday brunch... if you add the egg bites! I recently tried her boxing times. It was surprisingly filled! The chicken bacon is my favorite, although her turkey is also great! My only concern is that the cut half apple has never been browned, even after being stored in my refrigerator overnight.

I enjoy the Starbucks within the grocery store. The employees there at this particular location are always very pleasant and the beverage selection is always fantastic at your local 'Bucks. ~JAM
