I'm not going to waste a bunch of space here talking about what Starbuck's drink is my favorite because I'm sure that anyone reading this has probably been to a Starbuck's or 10. What I will do is critique this particular location at Rainbow and Oakey. This location is near my place of employment as well as my wife's so we stop here with great regularity. As is the case with most Starbuck's, the staff is very friendly and quite cognoscente of customer wait times. This is a tall order considering the extra customer load that was heaped upon this store when the shop at Charleston and Torrey Pines was closed. Even with the expanded workload the service is always great. I occasionally go inside to make my purchase, but I find that the drive thru is a better option when I'm in a hurry. One suggestion I will make on the beverage front is the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate. It's a seasonal thing that comes out during the holidays. If you haven't tried it, you really should. Some people get a little hung up on the "salted" part of the name, but trust me, it's worth a try. After trying it once I was hooked!

I was really excited when I found a Groupon for a local bakery. I bake and love to see what local places are offering. The store itself is really cute and welcoming. The staff that I encountered were really helpful and willing to explain all of the different flavors that they were offering. I was really excited share the cupcakes that I bought with my friends for my birthday. Here comes the disappointing part. The flavors on these cupcakes were really nothing special in my opinion. The german chocolate cupcake was really dry and had no flavor, same goes for the carrot cake. The cream cheese frosting barely had any taste of cream cheese to it. The latte cupcakes were completely overwhelmed with the bitter taste of espresso or coffee flavoring. I'm a coffee fanatic and it just didn't sit right. I was really looking forward to sampling the different flavors with my friends, but we were all left disappointed and feeling like something was missing from every cupcake. Can't say that I will be returning to try more. :(

Food selection is minimal. They put out very small portions of everything therefore the food runs out quickly and is not replenished right away. I have eaten at Bellagio and Caesars Buffett and this place does not compare at all. The staff is not as friendly with the exception of our waiter Randy! Randy was AWESOME! He is the reason I gave it at least one star! Some of the foods stay in a pot on top of a warmer and just get hard. I ate some crunchy tasteless fried rice today... Yuck! Beat part is the oce cream and sorbet selections. The flan was good. The rest was tasteless! Extremely too pricey for the wack selection of food. Spend 3 more bucks and go to a better buffett. This one sucks!
