Definitely one of the better SB's in the area. It's tricky to get into the lot (you literally have to drive around the store) but the staff is solid and they are constantly updating. They now have the Reserve coffee's (honestly, one of the few good beans starbucks has) as well as the beloved Clover Machine. Having worked in this facility years ago, I know they are top notch on sanitation and policy so the coffee you are getting wasn't brewed an hour ago. Dyson hand-dryers in the bathroom too? Touche starbucks, lol.

Nice Starbucks! Neat location - I should say it's an unusual round building, and that makes it unique. Seeing a lot of people having lunch meetings here [laptops galore] was reassuring that I had landed at a good Starbucks. Very quick - in and out in less than 5 minutes!

Luck of the draw at this Starbucks-- sometimes you'll get a super-friendly cashier with a competent barista; other times you will literally wait 30+ minutes (no joke) for a dum-dum to attempt to make one single grande coffee (not an espresso drink, just a simple coffee). Parking lot is above average when compared to most Starbucks, which means it's a mess but not a complete disaster (see Bryn Mawr Starbucks for that). Still, it's my local Starbucks so I can't hate on it too much.

Burnt coffee = burnt tongue. five stars. Does no one understand the purpose of this place? They make coffee, and it burns your tongue.

My love affair with Starbucks began in college, when a budgeted weekend-only soy latte remedied any hangover, amped me up, and helped forge my way to a 4.0. Now, 5 years later, my latte love-turned-lifeline has spiraled and my discretionary income takes a hit more mornings than not. There's something very special about a beverage that is a symbol for industriousness and also the reason why I hike out in two feet of snow, in freezing weather, sometimes with the flu, to get a beloved boisson. As an aside, this location is the best S-Bux ever! The team: Joe, Melissa, Jon, John, Rory, Safi, Stacy, Mike, Jacob, Melody (who is always smiling and cheerful), Torlair, (to those I missed, you're included as well!) always manage to exceed my expectations.

This is, as far as Starbucks go, a very good shop. The parking can be tough, but the back lot (shared) typically has one spot or three available. The seating inside is ample and spread out. It is often the scene for business meetings, dates, and folks often work privately on laptops along the back hallway. I would urge you to especially watch for a late afternoon coffee when school is in session - the kids fill the place, but at least are better behaved than when I was their age.

Are there any adults that work here and can help these kids out? 20 minutes for a ice tea and panini... The drink wasn't even correct. Parking lot is a nightmare.

I'm a Starbucks fan, but I think I was at this location at a bad time. I was there around lunchtime on a Sunday. I was able to place my order pretty quickly, but I had a long wait time for pick up (and I had friends sitting in the car waiting for me). I like the architecture of the building, but parking is problematic. There are some spaces in the back and the side of the building, but it was cramped. Also perhaps because it was the weekend, there were more teenagers in here than I usually see at Starbucks. I think they could have used another staff member behind the counter making drinks to handle the volume of people. I hope they do on busy weekday mornings.

There are lots of places to sit at this larger than usual space for the coffee chain, so whether you wanna chill on the couch or at a table, you shouldn't be at a loss for a place to rest & sip. They make a mean latte here too, perfectly concocted with my special customized requests. I suppose I take for granted Starbucks' general mastery of caffeine, so I'll acknowledge it here because they must train their baristas well if I get the same tasty drink wherever I go. When you drive here though, do you enter on the right or the left? I thought left, but apparently people enter & exit whichever way they want, so be alert for other cars coming & going.

Another starbucks review but seriously, this place is awesome! I am an addict of the Doppio Espresso, and for some reason this place makes it that much stronger and appropriate. Especially over ice, they simply know the way I like it which is not filled to the brim with ICE. Their services are impeccable, and speedy. Their layout is better than most starbucks in the sense that there is actual parking, and you don't have to fight through hordes of people waiting for coffee to get to a seat. A great relaxing place for a good cup of joe.

I'm not going to lie. I've been a regular patron (whenever I'm around) of this Starbucks since I started high school. Yes, it's a chain but I still love my frappacino (venti java chip) and soy latte. They have plenty of seating and outlets, along with wifi, and the baristas are very friendly. A lot of regulars come here, along with students from nearby Villanova, Bryn Mawr, Rosemont, Cabrini, an Eastern, so if you're looking for motivation to work, then nothing beats seeing students in hoodies with their buried in books and computers screens, a cup filled with some caffeinated drink clutched in hand. In terms of food (because you need some fat and sugar to make the caffeine work properly, or at least I do), I also love the mini iced donuts but it's so easy to eat all three in one sitting, so I alternate between getting those and a pack of Annie's. They also keep their bakery display well-stocked, which is a plus in my book, because I hate it when I walk into a Starbucks with a craving for a cinnamon chip scone and have t settle for a blueberry muffin. Those are the dire times that call for extra whipped cream on my frappacino. Oh, and if you have a Gold Card, you get free wifi! Minus 1 star for the parking, though. If you're not adept at backing out (aka me), park in the less treacherous back lot. You'll thank me later.
