Why Locals Love Starbucks Coffee Company
Located at 20201 E Smoky Hill Rd in Centennial, CO, the Starbucks Coffee Company here is far more than your typical coffee stop—it’s a vibrant hub for coffee aficionados and breakfast lovers alike. This spot masterfully blends the roles of a coffee shop, breakfast restaurant, café, espresso bar, coffee store, and even an internet café, making it a versatile destination for a wide range of customers.
What truly sets this Starbucks apart are its inventive coffee creations and welcoming, modern atmosphere. Take, for example, the irresistibly trendy Iced Ube Coconut Macchiato: full-bodied espresso layered over silky milk and a toasted coconut-flavored syrup, elegantly served over ice and crowned with an ube coconut cold foam and toasted coconut flakes. The ube adds a layer of sweet, nutty vanilla, and a visually stunning pop of purple that turns every sip into an experience both flavorful and downright joyful. Similarly, their Toasted Coconut Cream Cold Brew lives up to the signature Starbucks promise, delivering smooth, rich cold brew finished with a luscious toasted coconut cold foam—an oasis of creamy refreshment for any time of day.
Step inside and you're greeted by a bright, pleasant environment designed with comfort and connectivity in mind. The new building’s spacious layout offers both indoor and outdoor seating arrangements, perfect for casual catch-ups or focused work sessions. Ample electrical outlets ensure you can stay powered up whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in with your laptop, embracing the café’s role as a true internet café.
The service here is equally impressive, thanks in no small part to the dedicated staff who consistently make customers feel valued. Andre, a standout barista, has received glowing accolades from loyal patrons for his attentive and engaging approach, embodying the kind of leadership and warmth that elevates the daily coffee run into a genuine pleasure. Frequent visitors also commend other baristas like Peggy for their kindness and seamless order fulfillment, contributing to a welcoming, friendly atmosphere that feels like a community hub rather than a chain location.
Though the Starbucks recently relocated from its former spot near King Soopers to a fresh plaza close to Chipotle and Jimmy John's, it has only increased its appeal. With a drive-through option speeding up service for busy patrons and a luminous, inviting interior, this café is a standout destination for both casual visitors and regulars.
In essence, this Starbucks Coffee Company is much more than a caffeine pit stop—it’s a thoughtfully crafted experience where innovative flavors meet exceptional hospitality in a comfortable, modern setting. Whether you’re craving a unique twist on your coffee routine or looking for a friendly spot to start your morning or work through the afternoon, this location delivers a consistent, memorable experience that truly feels like a local gem.

Wow just blown away with the service From Andre. He definitely should be then manager. I’ve been coming here for years and his customer service is always consistent. 5 stars for Andre.

I should preface this by saying I nearly never make Google Reviews. But there is something about this barista Andre that has upper management written all over him. He is always kind and engaging, extremely on-task, and very invested in his job. 10/10 I do wish that Quincy girl still worked there, though...

This store is now in a different location, they moved from the plaza near King Soopers to a plaza near Chipotle and Jimmy John's. This is a brand new building that wasn't here a few months ago. This location offers drive through, and indoor and outdoor seating. A lot of electricity outlets. Very pleasant atmosphere and brightly lid during the day.

I don’t usually leave reviews but I wanted to share my experience today. I was having a bad day and I went to Starbucks to get a coffee. A barista named Andre helped me and he was so kind and professional. He made my day and I just wanted to share. His smile and kindness really turned my day around. Just wanted to give him kudos!

The entire team here hustles, work together and speaks to each other with manners even when entirely inundated with guests inside and out (around 8:30 a.m.). Inside the store is clean and has markers, paper and a few games for patrons while they hangout. Merchandise was stocked and displayed well. Had the coffee cup I was looking for to replace mine that has lived it’s 12 year life so well I decided I needed one specifically for water because it’s slim enough to fit in the side mesh pocket of my designated playground backpack, sturdy enough to handle falls and absolutely leak proof!
