Starbucks Citrus Heights

Serena is by far one of the most EXCEPTIONAL baristas, waitresses, servers or otherwise at a food establishment I have ever encountered. Me and my husband have a blog channel where we recount our travels all across the US to evaluate the service of local food establishments. This charming little Starbucks, planted humbly in a desolate plaza in Citrus Heights California, has utterly stolen our hearts! It all began, surprisingly, when I simply wanted some coffee to start my day. I walked into the front door and was met by a symphony of good mornings. Serena then came to the counter to take my order. It was 5 AM but her upbeat demeanor and can-do attitude would inspire you to double-check the time. She asked for my order to which I asked for a Venti triple-shot blonde ristretto vanilla white mocha with 3 pumps of vanilla (per her recommendation) and it was heavenly! I had energy for the rest of the day to finish my editing for months worth of videos in that single day! I’ve since asked for this drink at every Starbucks location I go and I simply haven’t had it made to the same level of perfection that it was made for me on that morning. I couldn’t quite make out the nametag of the woman working the machines but I believe her name was Jay. She had black hair with bangs and she cleary knew what she was doing! Will definitely come back again whenever I’m in town!

Always a great place to get coffee and relax with friends. Very friendly employees and wonderfully managed.
