I still remember the first time I tried Starbucks. I ordered a vanilla bean frappuccino. I remember the first sip of the pure white drink as it soothed my throat with joy—even better than a vanilla milkshake.

Ever since that day Starbucks has been one of my favorite places. I have tried multiple different drinks and multiple locations and they always exceed  my expectations. 

One of my favorite things besides the amazing drinks at Starbucks is the fast paced, but friendly environment. The atmosphere of any Starbucks is always blooming with happiness. Whether you're in the drive through or in person ordering, the employees are outstanding. I am always greeted with a hello and goodbye in a joyful voice.

Every other day at school I go to Starbucks in the morning with my sister. For the past couple of months I have gotten into the mobile ordering process. Before I leave my house I go on the Starbucks app and add items to my cart to be picked up at the location I choose. Personally, this is so convenient because usually I am in a rush. 

You can customize pretty much any drink to your liking. 

The price varies on each drink and the size you are wanting. The pricing does add up over time but one thing I have learned is to use their mobile app. When I created an account I started to get stars in which I could later redeem for a free drink or food option. With a credit or debit card you get 1 star for every $1 spent, but with a gift card you get 2 stars for every $1 spent. 

Sometimes I switch the drink up but usually I can't bear to do it because of the drink that blows my mind every time—a mango dragon fruit refresher with lemonade. The sweet taste of the sugary drink makes my mouth water every time. The beautiful pink color shines through the cup as a portrayal of happiness. The dragon fruit is a rare yet settled taste and when mixed with the lemonade it reminds me of summer. They have a countless amount of drinks which all leave you in a happy state of mind. Whether it's a cold winter day with their hot chocolate, or a hot summer day with any one of their refreshers, Starbucks will never let you down. 

Starbucks has fulfilled my heart with their variety of drinks, staff, and friendly environment.
