The vibrant purple cold foam, infused with ube, adds a sweet, nutty vanilla profile and a playful pop of color, making every sip a delightful sensory experience. For those craving a smoother wake-up call, the Toasted Coconut Cream Cold Brew offers a rich, velvety cold brew finished with toasted coconut cold foam—a perfect balance of robust coffee and silky creaminess with tropical warmth.

If I could give beyond 5 stars to the employees at this starbucks I would. I have been going to this store since they opened. There are many starbucks on my morning commute to work that I could stop at. But, I choose this one. All I have to do is tell them my order and they know its me . They always greet me by name. If I haven't been in for awhile they always ask how i've been and that they are happy to see me. Today I got my cup and I saw the heart and the note written on my cup. They deserve a shout out for the amazing service and love they have for their customers . Thanks guys!!! They definitely know how to make a basic, Venti Black Iced Coffee girls morning! I love seeing your smiling faces.

I needed a strong coffee badly, as I was driving back to Phoenix from Tucson. Stopped in Starbucks in Marana and decided on a 4-shot Venti Latte, I also got two banana breads slices for the road. Everything was great tasting and the coffee helped me stay awake for the ride home. Starbucks staff was super friendly and helpful. Ambience was nice, clean, and cool inside.

Mina is seriously the kindest barista! Even short staffed she took the time to chat about my order, empty my gift card graveyard, and even bust a Paul Rudd role models joke with me

I go out of my way to come to this location because of my barista Kayla. Seeing her in the morning has become a highlight of my day. She is kind, detail oriented and works hard. Somebody needs to give this girl a raise/ promotion! Afternoon employees are definitely not as nice as morning shift.

On my way to Phoenix today I stopped to grab a coffee while the wait was a little long it was okay wasn’t awful by any means just a bit longer than usual. I was greeted by the sweetest barista I believe her name was Reyna, she was very kind and apologizing about the wait. She’s a great worker and I think would make a great leader one day because of how she handled that situation.

It’s a really nice and clean Starbucks! The drinks came out fast and were made well. The employees were prompt and friendly. Also - the Iced Cherry Chai is really good, if you haven’t tried it!

Sadie is such a kind-hearted person. Her customer service feels so authentic, it’s like you’re speaking with a friend. She definitely makes my morning. I choose this location every morning because this team here is just the best. In a few years of going there, NEVER had an issue. Top notch.

Dillion is a rockstar! He provided expedited customer service in a magnificent fashion and represented all the positive vibes. Might add a stellar espresso manufacturer.
