Yes - it's your typical Starbucks No - they are not all designed the same way What's cool here? - Drive thru - Ample seating (indoor and outdoor) - About 4-5 outlets to plug in your laptop - Friendly, helpful employees - Quieter than the Starbucks from Barnes & Nobles across the street What's not cool here? - Dirty bathrooms (not sure how often they clean it) - Difficult parking (since they share the parking lot with 3 other stores in this strip mall) I'm usually here to study and write some yelp reviews =)

I usually come here to study, so this is a rating on a study based scale. Over all this location is about half the size of the one across the street (attached to the B&N) but with maybe 1/4 the seating. While it is much quieter here, the parking is tough since its a smaller lot, and the clientele is a few orders shadier than the regulars across the street. There arent really any big tables, and this location closes earlier than the other starbucks in the area. but it is FAR quieter and less bustling than most coffee joints in the area.

It's your typical drive thru Starbucks...you know what your getting, no complains. Who used to remember when it was a "coffee people"? Yah..those were the days. Also the drive thru is your typical, drive through the parking lot and around the building, your REALLY stuck in line type thing. I've only been inside once...again, cookie cutter Starbucks layout.

By far, the best Starbucks I have been to in Beaverton. Yes, it's a Starbucks, which I am mightily tired of, but I am weak against the comfort and convenience chains provide. Small, but cozy, with just a couple of quietly chatting groups of people around (unlike the noisy crowds of teenyboppers down the street at the Barnes and Noble Starbucks). There is even a fireplace with a couch and pair of chairs in front of it. I especially liked how there was one of those long cushioned benches against the wall with little round tables lined up in in front. Right beneath the bench there are a good number of outlets scattered about, perfect for plugging in my laptop. This particular Starbucks is a drive-thru as well, but I don't think I would ever use it.

As Starbucks goes this is a better one in the area. With the free wifi it goes beyond the average 3 stars. At least this one is large and quite enough to study or surf the web. The foot traffic is constant but not annoying. If stuck in the burbs this isn't the worst of the Starbucks to be at. Actually in comparison it's better than average. Now you know I've been in the suburbs too long when a Starbucks goes up in ranking compared to other chain coffee shops.

This Starbucks has a drive through, they are usually pretty fast and friendly. They always double check an item before I get to the window so I never hear "sorry we are out of that" once I already thought I was getting it. Parking: this parking lot has to be the worst parking lot made by man. When the drive through line is long you can't back out, once you are in line you are stuck and you are lucky to be able to park!

Have you ever found yourself scratching your head like what the heck? I guess in a world where people buy Frappuccinos, teas, etc. They forgot to have coffee. I come in and there was one person who bought a pastry and there was another lady waiting for her order and some others waiting behind me. Well the person making the drinks didn't seem to care the line was starting to build up and started talking story with the lady and what was bad is that she wasn't even done making her drinks. Ok, after she was done and it was time to make my ice coffee, I see her fill my cup with and inch of coffee. Then I see her run to the back scrambling looking for coffee. Why in the world would a Starbucks not have coffee? Then after what I think was old coffee she comes out from the back with some coffee in my cup. Without saying sorry for the wait or anything, she just puts the cup on the counter and walks away. Very poor service and a long wait doesn't make me happy. I would suggest some kind of training for their employees. Other than that this place wasn't that crowded and it looks clean.

I really liked this Starbucks because it not only had smaller cozy places to sit as a small group or alone, but it has a nice longer table that our larger group could sit at and be comfortable. The people who work are are courteous and professional, but also kind. They definitely did not rush to the next customer as so many coffee chains do. I love all the new fall choices, not just in beverages but also in food. Keep it up!

How important is your time to you? I ask that question because your answer will determine how many stars you'll give this place. The staff, while friendly and helpful isn't exactly the fastest. Part of it is them being mostly new, the other is the way Starbucks handles their staff placement. They've changed it around to where there doesn't seem to be as many people up front and you definitely notice. There have been many times I've gone in with only one or two people ahead of me and I have had to wait 10 minutes for a drink. On a more positive note, the inside is spacious and cozy if you do not mind the uniformed interiors of Starbucks. There is outdoor seating which is always a plus and hey, you know the food and drink will taste the same from location to location. Now I don't particularly like the taste of coffee, especially Starbucks coffee. Let's face it - On it's own it isn't that good. But that isn't why we go there. Their original drinks are pretty great. Sure it may take 30 grams of sugar to turn a Starbucks coffee into something tasty, but when it's good...Damn is it good. Too long, didn't read recap: Pros: Friendly, welcoming, helpful staff, convenient seating, good sugary drinks to help with diabetes. Cons: Slow service, poor coffee if you're drinking it black or even brewing at home.

It's a regular Starbucks, the staff is nice and works efficiently so no long lines when I was there, fairly quiet overall and if you don't like this one there is another about 1 block away heheh.

This review applies to all Starbucks and not just this location. I no longer go to Starbucks because the soy milk they use is Vanilla flavor. Yuck!! When Vanilla soy milk is added into a drink, for example a white chocolate mocha the drink completely changes. It is pointless to even order a drink. Also, the coffee is either bitter or water downed quite often when I go there.

This review is for the drive thru only as I've never been inside. I visit this Starbucks twice a week after class. It's my little pick me up after my mind has been beaten down. This drive thru is also very slow. Im not sure if its because people order a lot or if they are under staffed. Either way, I know I will be waiting in the drive thru a long time. The lady at the window is very friendly and happy though which makes the as it a little better. I wish they would offer the shoppers for the top though.

Fantastic coffee! Great spot in Tanasbourne. Had a drive thru but be careful around peak times....line can get lost and there is no where to go once in it.....you're doomed!

This is, by far, THE slowest drive-thru window in the universe. There is simply no contest!

This place is pleasant, has good coffee, is conveniently located, but the people are way too slooooooooow! You have to be desperate to wait as long as it takes to get coffee. I guess I am desperate, at least today. And we went inside because there were 20 cars in line.
