I've been to this Starbucks on quite a few occasions, and every time has been a pleasant experience. I love how energetic and friendly the staff is. I'm a pretty bubbly person, so it's refreshing to frequent a place that is equally as joyful, and doesn't look at you like you're crazy and tell you to slowly back away from the coffee. They've never had my order wrong, the Frapps are always nice and strong, not watered down like I've experienced in some other Starbucks locations, and once when the drive-through line had a particularly long wait, they made up for it by providing my drink on the house. I was so surprised! I love this place, and plan to go there for as long as they're open. In fact, I think I'm going to go there for a cup right now! :)

I hate chains, overpriced junk

I've been to the original Starbucks in Seattle, WA. For that matter, I've been to Starbucks locations all over the world. But this Starbucks? This particular Starbucks located in Auburn, ME? It is the BEST one I have ever been to. I usually go once or twice a week, and the staff who works here is absolutely outstanding. They are above-and-beyond accommodating to my specialized (vegan) drink orders every time. But - even cooler than that? - they're patient and creative. Because I go so frequently (as in: they start making my usual drink [some flavored grande latte with soy, no whip, no toppings] before I even say anything) I need variety. So, lately I've been making-up my own drinks, and they've been excited to help me do so. Today? I walked in and said: "Make me something flavorful, highly caffeinated, and vegan." Three baristas stopped what they were doing, got together and had a mini-brainstorming session about what to make me. They asked me about the flavor profiles I liked and didn't like, and in the end created something that was perfect. It was exactly what I (didn't know I) wanted. I hope the folks here continue to train their staff to be so thoughtful, involved, and innovative. Kudos, Starbucks Auburn, ME! - you're not just fixing my coffee jones every time I go in; you're making my day a little better, too.

went through the drive-thru on August 23, 2008 - they got my order wrong and i didnt realize until i got back to took that lid off - wasnt surprised though - the woman serving me was more interested in talking about the weather that listening to what i wanted. I asked for tray for my 3 drinks and they were out - at 7am in the morning!
