This Starbucks is perfectly located between the Arizona Biltmore area and the walking trails of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve.
The only negative to this location is the dearth of parking. There are a few (about 15) good spots but the rest of the parking area may require a walk of up to 100 meters.
The actual restaurant is very inviting with outside seating in two patio areas that are on two sides of the store.
The coffee baristas all seem very knowledgeable and I have seen some of the same baristas for almost a year.
This is one of the growing number of Starbucks stores with a Clover machine. There is therefore a large variety of quality coffees and unique blends from which to choose if you want to try a clover-brewed coffee.
The latte that I ordered was just as I expected-delightful.
I also ordered a turkey pesto panini which was very tasty. I wanted one of the new wraps, but they had already sold out-bummer.
Overall, an excellent Starbucks experience, as usual.
