| - Like any other Starbucks location, except this one is new and a nice reprieve from the perpetually-busy Kent location. There is an upstairs but it isn't open yet ("If we get enough business and corporate notices, maybe" said one employee). The wi-fi is constantly cutting in and out and there is a very annoying fly problem going on that hasn't been addressed.
Seating arrangements (something I'm oddly keen on) are almost entirely geared to just two people per table, unlike the Kent location that has large tables that can seat up to seven people. This suits me fine, but may deter others. There are four leather club chairs and tucked in the back is an elongated sort-of booth that can seat 6-7 people.
I'm really hoping that they make the upstairs area furnished and open to the public. I would've given a higher score but the wi-fi being so unreliable is very annoying, and the fly outbreak is just as bad, especially for a place that serves food and drinks. I mean, consider that few people sit in Starbucks just to drink a coffee by themselves. Nay, often people hang out there either to socialize with others, read, or do homework on their laptop. The first two instances are disrupted by flies, and the third instance is disrupted by flies AND unreliable wi-fi. So!
So...
UPDATE: I've begun going back here, and my two gripes (flies and unreliable wi-fi) have been fixed, so yah! Higher rating.
