You know what to expect at Starbucks, so not many surprises. No drive thru - don't care. They don't seem to keep the place quite as clean as my local Starbucks and pastries are in shorter supply than other Starbucks the afternoon I was there.
i always feel a little inadequate in Starbucks because I don't order a stupidly complicated drink, but it's an extremely safe option for coffee, always consistent, cool vibe and New York Times.
