| - Before and after my hiking adventures in Boulder City or south of the Arizona-Nevada border, I enjoy a caffeine beverage. Before or after these hiking adventures, I have spent time in the Boulder City Starbuck's unwinding with a caffeinated beverage.
The Boulder City Starbucks sits on prime real estate. It is at the crossroads of US 93, the highway connecting Las Vegas to Arizona and Nevada Way, the Main Street of Boulder City. It shares this prime real estate with an Albertson's, Burger King, and strip mall. Regardless of the traffic volume on US 93 it is a breeze to pull in and out of this parking lot.
Just like Boulder City, its Starbuck's features open space.It is a large Starbuck's that is more similar in size to a McDonald's than a coffee shop. The open spaces feature different seating arrangements with a variety of outside views. The outside views feature a Nevada Way passing through a corridor of motels on its way to the Historic District, a suburban US 93 with big horn sheep statues, and a not too far Red & Black Mountain. If your into catching up on the news, they have Boulder City News and the Review Journal. Large tables provide ample room to spread out a book and Starbuck's beverage. Smart phone users have sufficient outlets to charge their devices and complimentary WiFi. When the weather is nice, there is patio seating.
What I appreciate about the Boulder City Starbuck's is that it is so convenient to the local hiking trails. I have used it as a trailhead to the River Mountains Loop Trail, Bootleg Canyon, Teddy Bear Cholla Forest, Hemenway Valley Park, and Red & Black Mountain. For Boulder City hikers and bicyclists, this Starbuck's parking lot serves a similar function that the Charleston at Desert Foothills Albertson's Plaza parking lot does for Red Rock Canyon hikers and bicyclists. It makes a great spot for groups of hikers and bicyclists to meet up. If I ever host a Yelp Boulder City hiking UYE, I would make this the meet up spot.
The baristas have been friendly. It was at this very Starbuck's that a barista introduced me to the Expresso Frapucinno. By the way this is a tasty but $ beverage for a caffeine boost.
When you are driving southbound on US 93 toward Kingman, Arizona, this is the last business to get a good cup of coffee. When I travel between Arizona and Las Vegas, I usually make a stop here. I know that if I don't, I will regret it.
As a Yelper, I like to expand my horizons and try new coffee shops. However, it is difficult to expand my horizons in the Boulder City coffee shop scene when they appear to be closed in the late afternoon. Maybe one day there will be a Boulder City Grouchy John's or Coffee Bean to review. Until that day, the Boulder City Starbuck's, which closes at 9 P.M. will continue to get my coffee business.
The law of odds says there is a high chance that I will return to Boulder City and south of the Arizona-Nevada border for hiking adventures. I have a feeling that before or after these hiking adventures, I will spend some time in the Boulder City Starbuck's unwinding with a caffeinated beverage..
