The only downside to this joint is that they don't have a drive-thru. That's the downside if you're in a rush.
The upside, when you go inside, is that they don't have a drive-thru...so that means that you have a better idea how long the wait will be.
I go there to work remotely sometimes...so I don't have to do it at home. I think it's great. It's usually rather quiet because most people are reading or working on laptops, so we're all uber-focused. I like the barstool tables along the window, and they have outlets all along the window so I can charge up my laptop as I work. Pretty snazzy.
Drinks are very good. As good as any other Starbucks, and the staff is usually friendly. Even when the line is long, I don't wait as long as I do at other locations, so that's a huge plus (likely because there's no drive-thru)
