| - A good representation of "the Starbucks experience" with an air of sophistication, reasonable simulation of hardwood floors, free Wi-Fi, courteous, competent staff, expensive coffee, and the infamous PSL: Pumpkin Spice Latte, which Lord help me, at 300 calories for a small ("Tall" in Starbucks parlance), I love. There are also some healthy food and snack box options, as well as some excellent if more-sweet/less healthy cakes and cookies, and all that I've tried have been quite good, quite consistent with the level of quality expected.
The cool, comfortable atmosphere is an inviting, consistent pleasure. Inside and out, this SB offers a great the view of the CityScape Plaza for some great people watching, though the polite but persistent panhandling can be discouraging to sitting outside. SB coffees are frequently too strong as well as too expensive for me to partake of on a regular basis, but I respect that they do provide health insurance benefits to their employees.
To repeat, a good representation of the positive aspects of the Starbucks experience.
