| - Yes, it's Starbucks, so the bulk of their drinks are hyper-sugary, rather diluted and not particularly impressive. And yes, being a campus location, it's going to be packed pretty much the whole day. But this location deserves 5 stars. You know why? Because of the people who work here. With very few exceptions, I've had prompt and friendly service on the many, many occasions in which I've had my coffee here. The team, led by Sarah the manager, made my visits enjoyable and even entertaining. The partners greeted me by name, gave me drink suggestions, always got my order right, and remembered to hand me a spoon to savor the whipped cream in my drinks. Without a doubt, this is the best Starbucks I've been to, and I often chose it instead of the independent coffee shops in town. (And that's saying a lot, given that in other cities I avoid Starbucks like the plague.)
Besides, the flat white and the Clover brewed coffee are pretty good... and what's wrong with a frappuccino every now and then?
