    I usually avoid reviewing fast food and chain restaurants because they tend to ressemble each…read moreother. That said, I like to highlight when a company, even a corporate giant, and a specific location, do a good job. This Seguin Starbucks is decent enough for me to come back a few times a year. Coffee and tea are prepared the Starbucks way (on the sweeter side), but the baristas do a good job and their drinks are consistent. I particularly enjoy that I never have to wait very long for my order, whether I order in advance through the app or at the counter directly. This location recently updated its furniture and they now have nice wooden tables and chairs. When it's cold out, they ramp up the heat. Unfortunately, when it's hot outside, they set the A/C to arctic mode, so I never linger too long for fear of turning into an ice cube. I appreciate that Starbucks, in spite of all its shortcomings, tries to innovate by adding new seasonal drinks. They recently added protein drinks to their menu and while they don't yet have a vegan option, it's a step in the right direction. So overall a decent place. Starbucks doesn't hold a candle to an independent local coffee shop, but when those are closed for the night, big corpo is there to serve you. That counts for something, I suppose!

    Kiddo wanted a strawberry frappe after dinner, so we decided to make a quick stop in the…read moredrive-thru. The young lady who took our order was very friendly. Placed our order and pulled up to the window. She made sure to inform hubby that the tip option was there so he had a choice to tip or not (I'll say I'm not too thrilled that Starbucks has implemented this at their stores. Especially stores that you don't have an option to select "no tip". Hubby DID leave a tip, and we waited about 3-4 minutes maybe for my son's frappe. When the lady brought it to the window, she said the barista had upgraded his drink for him. That was very kind (my guess is she made too much so had leftovers). Nobody else was in the drive thru (8pm), and seemed very quiet inside. Kiddo said the drink was "alright". Not sure if they have changed the way they make it, but he said it was drinkable ‍

I was disappointed in the Ruben sandwich. Mind you, it was served warm as most are, but after eating Reubens from delis with lots of meat, from the photos you can see that my Reuben from here had a skimpy serving of meat. Additionally, I thought that the menu had it at one price and the register rung it up as $1.00 higher. I found that it is a dollar more for a salad. It comes standard with chips. That's reasonable to me and I thought that the salad was good. My spouse had the burger, and she enjoyed it. She liked that it came with a choice of fries or a healthy salad. I was pleased that a Zero Coke was only $2.00. That's extremely reasonable!

    Update: The owner contacted me personally, was very apologetic, and is making a sincere effort to…read morefix the situation, so I'm updating my rating from 2 stars to 4 stars. Looking forward to trying Tillie's again next time we pass thru. The cafe is well maintained and the food was decent. We also loved the ambiance - very relaxing. The service was very bad. The servers acted as though serving us was a massive inconvenience from the moment we walked in. Our questions were met with eye rolls and borderline rude answers that made us feel unwelcome.
