Starbucks - Coffee shop in Fresno - 7658 N Blackstone Ave, USA

Columbus Day was zoo day for us and we decided to expedite our breakfast and coffee at this Starbucks. First impressions were that the baristas lacked personality. We had discovered that as much as first impressions go, they might be able to make that up in other areas. It kind of all went downhill after that. My wife received her decaf Americano first (out of our orders) and she did the usual confirmation of asking that barista, “this is decaf, right?” The girls response was, “oh, I don’t know.” She steps back and looks at the ticket, then says, “it was ordered as decaf so yeah, I would’ve definitely done decaf.” Not confidence inspiring, I assure you. Next came my hot Pumpkin Latte, which was good, and my sandwich. I came to discover my Reduced-Fat Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich with egg white was provided open-faced and the cheese was stuck to the inner paper wrapping. Just an FYI, I did not make this special request. Fortunately, due some wax on the inner lining, I was able to get most of it off the wrapper with some cheese lost. Better than have some paper stuck to the cheese, if we are going glass half full at this point. Other than that, restroom was stocked up, tables had crumbs on both the interior and exterior, and it is quite spacious. I would definitely say that, though cramped, the location near Riverpark always gave warm vibes from their staff, and that type of welcome is always appreciated!

Not sure if its just this store, or all of starbucks that has gone downhill. But today this store gave me a grande in a venti cup and charged me full price. Make sure to check your drinks and food before driving off or walking out. I get that you leave room sometimes for hot drinks. But this was enough to think that they made a grande and realized their mistake and avoided remaking it by pouring it into a venti. Starbucks customer service online is amazing though, if you arent able to go in store their online customer service is great!

Makes for an awkward time when the (assuming) manager/supervisor is having what appear to be evaluations in the middle of the coffee shop. We're all studying, working or enjoying our drinks when you overhear performance related evaluations and whether or not the employees are motivated.

I like this Starbucks because the staff are friendly , prompt and welcoming and it’s feasible to buy while shopping at river park mall to stay rejuvenated shopping . Not to mention it’s convenient spot to study

Nice renovations. Comfy seating. Nice and cool. See you here.

My favorite. Love this crew, extra comfortable seats and padded booth, unlike the hard chairs at most. I don't use devices here but...lots of plugs too

I made an online order for pick-up in store. I walked in. There was three baristas in the front. One was making an order which i assumed she was working on my order. The other two did not assist me. I waited. Then, the girl that finished the order was the only one that assisted me which was the girl that was working on my order. Four stars because my order turned out amazing and because of her. I appreciate you 😊😊 6/9/22 9:00pm

Decent sized Starbucks with ample patio seating. Service is friendly and fast. This location is usually busy on the weekends and slow between 3-5 during the week. The offer Starbucks Rewards and Online Orders which usually comes in handy when you are in a rush. Free refills on brewed coffee and iced tea when you use your Starbucks card. The WiFi is also few and pretty quick. Overall this location is outstanding and in a great location off of Blackstone in river park shopping center. Thanks Starbucks. Keep up the good work.
