This spectacular drink is crowned with a dreamy ube coconut cold foam and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes, delivering a sweet, nutty vanilla taste with an eye-catching pop of purple that enchants both your palate and your senses.

I enjoyed a nice quiet cup on the patio. I just wish I didn't have to wait for the dark roast to be brewed every time. 10/27/24 UPDATE I want to acknowledge Miyanona the barista who serves me on the weekends. She remembers my order and is always a ray of sunshine with her smile. This is amazing because I only go one or two times a month. She displays awesome customer service and is a real asset to Starbucks. The dark roast has been brewed and I dont have to wait anymore and my little dog love the patio and pup cup. 5 Stars

Colson, the manager, Dawson, assistant manager, Miyonna, and Star are excellent at their jobs. They are all kind and prepare orders accurately and quickly. I recommend the 29th and Wanamaker store highly. It has ample room and is consistently clean.

I’ve had nothing but great service at this Starbucks location. I usually come through the drive-through, and the baristas are always friendly and awesome. I want to highlight a specific staff member named Starr she suggested I try the gingerbread chai instead of my usual drink, and it was magnificent. Her service was a breath of fresh air, and it’s consistent with the amazing experiences I’ve had with other staff members here. Highly recommend this location. you won’t be disappointed!

This location is always friendly and speedy even when the drive thru lines is 20 cars deep. I would recommend driving out of your way to go here. And go inside its clean and the environment is amazing. Oh and I got my cup this morning:)

It's Monday, it's early, caffeine is required! Topeka only has 2 Starbucks (free-standing). This location is ALWAYS busy. However, the wait time has gotten so much better and whoever is at the window is friendly and gives a smile. Either location is great, all depends on which is closer at the time.
