Interviewed Nov 2011 in Shakopee, MN (took 1 week)
I received a phone call 3 days after I applied online. The store manager requested to set up an interview with me, and I did. I went in 4 days later for my interview. I walked into the store and it was very clean. They offered me a drink, which I accepted. They had it ready for me in about a minute. I intereviewed with the store manager. She had me interview with a supervisor, as well, for a few minutes. Afterwards, the store manager came back and asked me a few more questions. Once she was done, she said she should call me by Friday. I left. On Wednesday, she called me and offered me a position. I had to accept and fill out tax forms online. Once that was done, she called me and set up a time for orientation (which lasted about 2 hours).

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took a day)
Keep in mind management differs greatly from one store to the next. My interview was very basic. It seems they get a general feel for your personality. They ask the basics about school, work experience, goals, etc. Sometimes they will have two interviews if they are unsure. I know that some of the people I work with were given two interivews. The process is very quick if the store in question is hiring and the person applying is qualified.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
At the time of the interview (2009) I had heard that coffe shops pay $8.00 per hour. I mentioned this at the interview and that is what the manager agreed to pay. I have a feeling at the time this was probably the max hourly wage for new hires.

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.
