I've been to the Hy Vee that this Starbucks resides within a few times, but had yet to stop by the Starbucks for a drink or pastry. I needed the sit down on this visit, so now seemed a good time to stop by.
There's not much to say about this Hy Vee Starbucks that couldn't be said about others. It has the same fixtures, pastry case, drink containers, and overall general appearance as most other Starbucks locations. They even have the faux trellis above the prep area. The thing that aids this location is the larger cafe area. There are three tables for two occupants, as well as a larger eight seat table prominently placed as well. It's definitely far less claustrophobic than the Devils Glen Road Hy Vee.
On approach to the register I saw a special Black Forest hot chocolate on offer. I like a good hot chocolate, so I pretty much had to try this. Within a minute or two of ordering I had my hot chocolate and had sat down at one of the tables to start in.
Not gonna lie, it was a pretty good hot chocolate. Tasted like the normal Starbucks hot chocolate but with raspberry flavoring. If it was that simple, I don't care. It was good, and you should try it.
I'd come back to this Starbucks again on a future visit to this Hy Vee. It's a solid location. Thanks Starbucks!

Purchased a venti pistachio latte with a extra shot about a month ago and they really messed it up, so they gave me a card that said "your next drink is on us". I go in and order a Venti mocha with an extra shot and hand them the card..then I'm told I still owe them money, because their card is only worth $4. The girl at the window was very rude. Don't waste your time at this location...find another Starbucks or different coffee place!
