On 8/3/25 around 11am, there was a barista working the drinks and did an incredible job getting them done efficiently. Multiple drink orders were finished by the time my food was ready and she was on top of it!

Not sure why there is so much hate for this location. Obviously service level at the airport cafes is always a bit lower than anywhere else due to volume and time pressure. However, this location is decent Starbucks. Good furniture. Coffee was ok. I love to come here when flying from Terminal A Order mobile if you’re smart - will save you so much time. For some reason majority of people don’t do that and line up. This costs them easily 10min it’s more…
