I went in with a group of friends perhaps before 3 p.m. yesterday. All seats were taken up but the bench was available (we got our coffee to go anyway). The service was pleasant and the barista explained two of the drinks to me. It had a nice, laid-back vibe but on to the coffee. I am not a coffee snob or connoisseur - I'm someone who absolutely LOVES Starbucks and pretty much just their sugary drinks (lattes/macchiatos). I ordered the macchiato and knowing how I am, I immediately added some cream and sugar to it prior to tasting. Cream aside, I think this was a big mistake. Much like you "real coffee lovers" out there I think I ruined it by adding sugar because this was actually good coffee (I could tell under all the sugar I just had to stir in). Like coffee that even someone like me (sugary coffee lover) could enjoy. I will definitely return to try some of their other drinks (not straight coffee though - can't do it)!
