I guess on some level all Starbucks are the same. Whats different about this location is the set up. Its really nice inside and outside. Its in a strip mall but a corner space so its easy to see from the street. The location really is prime. Right by a metra station, a mcdonalds, and across from a sunset foods. Lake Forest is money money money so it doesn't surprise me that this Starbucks is extra pretty. The outside seating is generous in size and has plenty of tables. The inside has more open space than a standard Starbucks and many of those fun cozy chairs instead of the less than comfortable wooden ones. As for my coffee fix, I got a Venti Mocha Cookie Crumble Frap. Chocolate, coffee, and a whole lot of sugar. So good and worth every sip that I am sure when straight to my ass.

Check your cup of coffee before you leave. Last time I was there they only filled it about 2/3 full! Like I'm going to fill the remaining 1/3 with cream? Usually Starbuck's asks if you want room for cream, milk, whatever. But this place turned a venti into a grande without even asking.

A typical Starbucks, good service and a convenient location.

I love this Starbucks! Everyone is always friendly, they move quick so there's never a line, and the drinks always hit the spot.

This place is great. Perfect to study, read a book, or meet friends. Nice outside seating and inside space too. There is usually plenty of parking. The staff are REALLY nice and friendly. I'm not a huge starbucks fan but just for the atmosphere and happy staff I come here often.

I'm so glad that they finally put a Starbucks in West Lake Forest. This place is perfectly placed right across from Sunset Foods and right in the middle of all of my weekly errands so its wonderful to stop in for a midday treat. The staff appears friendly and the interior is very clean and new, which is pretty much typical of all Starbucks. The nice thing is that for a Lake Forest Starbucks they seem to get a relatively low amount of high-maintenance moms stopping by, so its enjoyable to get a cup of coffee and drink it right in the store. It's not the largest Starbucks I've ever been to but it's definitely there to give me my caffeine fix. The outside seating is also a huge plus.

rudest piece of crap Brittney was working tonight. absolutely rude to her coworkers and customers alike.Brittney is a despicable attempt at a human being. Go elsewhere for coffee.....it wasn't even good.

See my earlier reviews. This is just an update. And speaking of updates, this Starbucks updated its seating again to include four leather chairs. If you can get them, they're a great place to gather with friends and catch up. If you can't, you're stuck on the hard wood chairs. Bummer. Customer service always meets my expectations. It is a Starbucks after all.
