We stopped in for a quick afternoon refreshment so I had just a few minutes to glance around at the space. Personally, I'm always seeking a Starbucks that has adequate features for working and this place seemed to have it all. The front dining area offered several large tables against the walls, which I assume would have plugs for charging laptops. The bonus that caught my eye was a large back room that had even more tables arranged in a very conducive way for working. There were even several tables outside for a fresh air "sidewalk cafe" experience. Definitely a plus! There is lovely artwork on the walls and low lighting. No doubt, this would be my working-offsite destination of choice. And right beside the bagel shop? Perfect! One thing to note: there is no is no drive-through which might be discouraging to the daily commuter. But, our service was fast and friendly on a Monday afternoon. My iced mocha was perfect, as was my daughters lime refresher. Overall, thumbs up.

I come here almost every other day and the always make my meal right. My mom goes everyday and gets the same thing.
Rude. Slow. Incompetent. Anyone in the service industry really shouldn't be all three. I ordered a simple drink, one customization. 1.) the barista taking my order corrected me which would be fine if done politely not condescendingly. 2.) there was no one in front of me or behind (also no drive thru) and it took the barista over ten minutes to make my drink which brings me to 3.) remade my drink twice, the first time without being asked and the second time I requested it. If people are spending $6-$8 on a drink they deserve to have it done to their liking. So glad this isn't my regular Starbucks.

As former resident of the area who saw this Sbucks first open when in high school and now looking at it evolved into what it is as a business from an adult standpoint, I have seen the building itself gone through several changes. In the end, it is still not my fav Sbucks mostly because the lack of electrical outlets and odd seating in general is frustrating. Granted, there is certainly much more varied seating options than when it started: It's now equipped with a few tables outside the store front; a couple lounge chairs, two-person tables and one wheel-chair accessible table in the area near the windows; and then the couch, two-person tables and booth in the back. Way back when, I remember cramming a 20-person study group for an AP mirco test in the back area with a few of us sitting on crates. However, some of these two-person tables face the bathroom doors - gross. And many don't have electrical outlets nearby, so what I have sometimes been left to do is work at a couch (not very ergonomic for someone who grades papers all day at Sbucks) and awkwardly asking if I could string my laptop cord parallel to the thresh hold of one of the bathroom doors. In the end, it is really a prime location being near the freeway and in a busy plaza. However, it would be even better if it had drive-thru capability.

Solid Starbucks. The service was friendly and efficient. The only real downside is that it doesn't have a drive-though window.

Chaper 1: Starbucks coffee SUCKS. Chapter 2: Confused-Distraught-Shocked would be a few words that come to mind when I think of the general population's love for Starbucks. I don't quite get it but I have learned to live with it. The coffee personally feels burnt and the mixed drinks are just sugar + lots and lots and lottsss of ice and a dash of whipped cream Chapter 3: I have decided to stay away from Starbucks and pledge my allegiance to Tim Horton / Caribou . The End

One of the best Starbucks I've been to. The coffee didn't taste burnt and it wasn't overly sweet. The staff is pretty friendly too. Once, I went there and I ordered two soy caramel mocchiatos. But they gave me two caramel mocciatos with dairy in it. So I told them, and they let me keep the old two and made me two new cups of mocchiatos with soy. That's what you call being a good businessman.

They get a 5 star review from me! My drinks are usually (most of the time) complicated. Sometimes I get the "Fuzzy Peach (half iced tea half water made with peach syrup instead of regular)". Sometimes the "Caramel Brûlée Frap (seasonal winter drink, not complicated)". Sometimes the "Caramel Frap with extra extra EXTRA Caramel Drizzle (all season drink, not complicated). Sometimes the "Vietnamese Coffee (Iced Coffee made w No whip on any drink, AT ALL. I only needed to tell them once and they're always on top of it. I think that this is the best location ever. Well, this and the location in Somerset Mall.
