| - Monday through Friday mornings are a lot like the old Alabama song, "I'm in a hurry to get things done, I rush and rush until" , well you get the point. Typically I'll grab coffee from home, I can make my own Starbucks there, either Keurig or a nice Chemex pour-over. But on many a pleasant Phoenix morning I'll want the real McCoy made by a trained barista.
What makes this possible on a "school day" is the wonderful Starbucks app. I have my gift cards loaded, my favorites saved (lately an iced americano with a splash of coconut milk, venti of course). I highly recommend the sausage, cheddar and egg sandwich if you need a protein boost. Or you can mix and match by walking across the parking lot to B-KIng for one of those heavenly but horrible crosissandwichs, sausage please. Guilt but happy. The app has some sort of gamification to it that if you collect the stars, you earn free stuff. I'm lucky to remember to check in on Yelp let alone game on my way in to work with my 2 gig memory.
While I always grab and dash, (my order is always ready to pick up when I get there) I'd love to sit and chill and people watch or surf the net. This location has a great vibe to it, sweet patio also. I love that Starbucks has changed their approach and will allow anyone to use their Facilites even if you're not buying anything.
Oh, BTW, speaking of grabbing and dashing, my apologies to whoever ordered the spinach wrap last week and ended up with my breakfast sandwich. I think you got the better end of the bargain on that one. Cheers!
