I usually go to Starbucks Ewa Wing at Ala Moana Sopping Center and generally they are good. Today however my drink was burnt and my pastry had been sitting on some water spilled on their counter. When I asked the barista for some half and half cuz my drink was burnt she smugly told it shouldn 't be . Well it was! I guess if you want to have coffee served with an attitude go to this Starbucks at 4pm on a Thursday. I 'll avoid this location from now on.

Let's set the scene. I ventured into this Starbucks, which is located on the street level of the Ala Moana Center. It's on the side of Surfer's Bakery and ABC Store. It's important to note that I went here around 5:15 p.m. on a Thursday evening. The day of the 50% off promotion for Starbucks' app users!It was crazy fun?! So many customers that you couldn't tell the order line from the wait line! I had to ask the people where was the line to order. The mood was festive and exciting for me! Some of the customers looked happy : and some, not so much : . I considered leaving due to the number of customers, but I watched in amazement the sheer gut determination of the baristas to get those orders out!I literally wanted to shout out and clap my hands out loud for their frenzied work ethic. Here's to you all clapping hand emoji . I stayed in line and placed my order for a venti Gingerbread Latte and a cup of ice. I wanted to try one of the holiday drinks. The Gingerbread Latte was spiced just right. The wait was long, but to be expected. The latte was nice, but the ice had coffee grains ? in it. So I tossed that away. I passed by here an hour later and I spied only three customers in store. I'm pretty sure the baristas needed the welcomed respite. Bravo Baristas!

It's a Starbucks if you've been to one of them you've been to all of them. My go-to drink is a venta iced Chai latte with two shots of espresso and four pumps of classic syrup or if I'm feeling frisky I get brown sugar pumps instead and thai sides. Have a good coffee house experience.Vegetarian options: Get coffee and stay away from the milk,
