We love Starbucks coffee and we are always looking for the store that makes it best and today our next family food adventure take us to new store located in Doral with a category of 4.0 and more than 34 reviews. We going at night is very spacious inside and outside sitting, decoration inside is very striking and eye-catching and draws a lot of attention. All drinks we ordered were prepared by someone who loves his job and has the talent for it. Creamy and with the perfect combination of ingredients we had a drink to drink and enjoy on a cold night. High recommend place if you like the Starbucks.

This will be my new everyday starbucks. I originally came through the drive thru and asked for a hot venti mocha with light mocha due to a glucose test I had to prepare for since I'm pregnant and a banana loaf warmed up. My drink was made incorrectly and my loaf was cold. I entered the store to file a complaint and the barista Sam had the best entry and was attentive to all my needs without making me feel like an inconvenience. She remade my beverage and gave me another loaf warmed to perfection alongside a nice message on the cup and to top it all off I was given a store card for 4 dollars off my next visit. Sam was amazing and I will be asking for her the next time I go. Thank you and I'm extremely pleased and have become a regular!

This Starbucks consistently delivers excellence at the highest level. From the moment you walk in, the energy is welcoming, professional, and genuinely attentive. The team here isn’t just “friendly” — they’re intentional. They remember faces, move with urgency, and create an environment that makes you want to stay, work, think, and recharge. The store is always clean, organized, and well-maintained — which says a lot about leadership and standards behind the scenes. Every detail feels cared for. What really stood out to me was when they went out of their way to let me borrow an iPhone charger when mine was low. That small act reflects something bigger: a culture of service, not just transactions. They treat people like people. In a world where customer experience often feels rushed or automated, this location sets the standard. Professional. Polished. Consistent. Grateful to have this as my go-to spot. Highly recommend.

I want to start of by saying that I am normal not a customer who like to argue for not important things. When I placed a mobile yesterday I prepared myself to have it made incorrectly or for my drink to not be up to standard. I arrived with my husband with the idea of using confrontation if my drink was made incorrectly because it has been the case the last 3 times I have been at this location. To my surprise i arrived and saw my drinks made and asked the barista if they were mine, she explains to me that they are and asked me to give them a try and inform her if there's anything she can do or add to make the drink not worth "liking" but loving. Immediately I looked over at my husband and asked the barista for her name because that has never happened to me before. Not to mention the drinks were perfect this time around and I did not need a remake or add on. However I explained to Sam the reason I was not sold on this location and further explained an incident with a cake pop last week. She apologized and responded with "let me get that cake pop for you, it's better late than never and I apologize for that experience" I was incredible pleased by her performance and I hope other follow her lead to make this starbucks experience amazing.

I'd give a perfect score except half the time I've ordered the strawberry acai, it's given to me without the strawberry pieces. If I notice I ask for it and they fix it but if I'm in a hurry and leave, I notice too late. I shouldn't have to tell them they need to add the strawberries.
