I very rarely patron any Starbucks location anymore due to crazy price hikes and the steadily…read moredeclining quality of the drinks overall. But my aunt and I were visiting from out of town for a family wedding up in Ticonderoga, and this was right next to the Clarion Inn. To escape the summer heatwave after a morning of window shopping at the local outlet stores, this place was a godsend despite how crowded and noisy it could get inside. Just watch out for the counter where all the orders are set for taking. With all the melting cold drinks, it's like receiving your beverage via a sticky water slide. Gross. Grab a napkin before you do. As I was treating her, my aunt decided to choose one of the less pricey drinks (cafe latte) which was basically just coffee-flavored ice water. In the end, my aunt ended up stealing most of my drink anyway - a new summer blend: brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso. I was prepared for it to taste bland too, but it was surprisingly strong for a blonde espresso. The brown sugar and oatmilk combo lended well to its smokey flavor without being overpoweringly sweet. I haven't had a Starbucks drink I enjoyed this much since I discovered the hot chestnut praline latte a couple winters ago. Needless to say, by the end, we were practically fighting over the last sip. And on the way out of town the next day, I ended up ordering shaken espressos for both of us to take on the road. I might just have to see if I can track down this drink one more time at a local Starbucks this summer...

However, at peak times it is so busy that cars parked/people ordering inside often get trapped behind the drive thru line, backing things up quite a bit. Ordering inside also seems to be a slower process.

Clean potty's, a nice selection of food (fresh pizza, sammiches, shakes, an espresso/hot chocolate machine, refrigerated stuff, junk food, $.99 cookies) plenty of parking and gas pumps, what's to complain about? This time, the cookies were out of date, plus the dark roast coffee "kicked" as I was 1/2 way into pouring it . Oh well, they had a fresh untouched (shockingly lol) pot of decaf, so a blend was fine. Lots of seating too I'd go back any day and even in the land of wawa, I miss Stewart's!

She encouraged us to book our date before receiving a cake tasting saying she only had one spot for our date left. We put a deposit and chose our cake tasting and it all went downhill from there. Probably because she had our money. She never delivered our cake tasting making up many many excuses which we believed at first. We were uncomfortable continuing with her if she couldn't even deliver a tasting by three different dates she promised and requested our deposit be returned. It's been two weeks and we are still waiting. Suddenly she can't answer an email or phone call. If you want one more headache while wedding planning go with Melissa!

There were 3 customers in front of us finishing up their order. When the cashier/waiter asked for payment and realized these kids only had a credit card, he lost his cool and started yelling about how they need to have "cash or check". My wife and I asked why he was meeting them with such a rude attitude. That is when he shifted his focus to me and began trying to insult the way I looked. Commenting on my hat, my clothes. Taken back I asked "what are you even saying?" He continued to say how I should order certain items on the menu to "help with my brain function." We decided to leave and not give them our business. I'd be cautious about supporting a business where the sole driver of success is customer service and your waiter speaks down to customers as if they are beneath them. Happy 4th of July

The shop atmosphere was fun and gave me a Wes Anderson movie vibe with the colors and decor. Service was friendly and quick. Took a minute to decide but they were patient with us.
