Mixed experience working here
Pros: I loved getting to know the regular customers, especially the seniors who came in for daily coffees. You receive a good discount on food (50%), and sometimes the time would fly. I found that earlier shifts (such as 5AM-1PM) would go by so quickly, especially as compared to closing shifts. It's a very fast paced environment and is exhausting, but has its benefits.
Cons: At the store I worked at, it got so busy that it was often unmanageable. During the lunch rushes, weekends, and holidays, it was just absolutely ridiculous to the point that they constantly had crew members working late. During these times there were often customers that were incredibly rude and unable to please, even after giving refunds, free meals, and apologies. I had a great experience with some managers, whereas others were quite rude and short-tempered towards guests and employees. When you apply, know that you aren't just signing up for taking orders or cooking, but also cleaning bathrooms, preparing beverages, opening/closing, running birthday parties, restocking, etc.
