Starbucks

Mornings and evening time is best to come at this Starbucks! When placing a mobile order, the order is ready when you arrive. Drinks at Starbucks is so good, and you collect points every time you order. Price is reasonable, would prefer Starbucks over Second Cup or other expensive coffee shop. Water and pup cup is free!

Have you ever created a memorable moment for a place? Most of us have, I guess. I am not a coffee expert, but I am merely here to share an experience. I visited this Starbucks coffee store on Aug 12, 2022. Calgary had a gentle breeze and was around 81° Fahrenheit or 27° odd Celsius. It was the perfect day for a cold coffee, some might say. I met Joey and was comfortable expressing my innermost embarrassing secret - I am not a coffee expert. She surveyed me on my preference and suggested the perfect blend for me. Would I say that I could read non-stop for three and a half hours because of it, or should I say I ordered a second round of the same large coffee while munching on pastries and passed my exam the next day based on my studies at this shop? I brought no electronics other than my cell phone and learned about the Magna Carta of 1215, the Great Writ, and the reason they termed Kanata “village” the Great Dominion. I also studied the oath that needed to be given to Queen Elizabeth II. When I affirm my oath, I know now that it will be to King Charles III. My respects to Her Majesty for who she was as an individual, and my condolences to His Majesty and family, for whatever it may be worth.

When I ordered my second cup, an hour and a half later, Joey said, and I paraphrase - The order is in the name of Anand, right? I learned that day why some consider their own names the sweetest word in any language and took a leaf out of Joey’s book to remember & use as many names as I could. When I left the coffee shop, two of them said goodbye. One of them was Joey. I am off to visit the same coffee shop today (16 Sept 2022), and if I meet the other person, I will ask their name too.

Staffs are great, but very understaffed. Wait time for drinks are over 15 mins. Seems like a problem for all the Starbucks in Calgary.

Very friendly staff and quick service! Great spot to come study, read or catch up with a friend.
