I have a love-hate relationship with this Starbux. For a long time it was my absolute favorite place in the valley. To come and read, study, have coffee with a friend ... It is spacious, nice, great atmosphere. Then they started hiring some slow, pretentious morons and it all went down the drain. Lines at the register and drive thru were annoying beyond description. At the same time a lot of people started coming there and on weekends it is almost impossible to find an empty chair. On top of everything they crank up AC that you literally freeze if sit longer than 30 minutes.
Well that's the bad. But it is still best place for casual coffee date in the area. It is never dull or boring and atmosphere is always uplifting enough.
Update;
The new stuck up management can suck it. I'm not pain in the ... about customer service usually, but when newly hired shift supervisor comes to a customer that comes every day (multiple times) for years and says if he leaves tea bag on the floor again (it happened maybe 2-3 times, better than on the tables I would say) she won't serve him again, then I have problem with that. It happened to a friend, I was present and the rudeness and attitude she gave was just disgusting. I'm writing a complaing for this one for sure!
