| - Before Starbucks saturated the market in non-traditional locations such as grocers, airports, and university campuses, it was one of the first things I researched before I traveled to any new city. In fact, my first job in college was as a Barista, where I learned the art of brewing espresso on Thursday nights for students on break between classes, studying, or on late night coffee runs. There's comfort knowing that a venti, skim, non-fat, no foam, hazelnut latte, will be the same product I've come to know and love regardless of the Starbucks site.
Seating--they have a pair of comfy seats in the corner perfect for secluded conversations or pouring over good reading material. Several tables outside are protected from piercing sunrays by the structural design of the building. Very few smokers frequent this shop, so you may enjoy your caffenated beverage without being assaulted by smoke.
Outlets--if your laptop battery longevity, you'll appreciate the numerous outlets all over the store. Heck, they even have outlets near the ceiling. The purpose of those outlets is unclear but who cares? They HAVE outlets.
Ambiance--the background music is soft, the lighting is low, and the furniture consists mostly of chestnut colored tables for 2. The store is painted in earthly greens, browns and other neutral tones.
Hours--A lil early this one closes @ 9:30PM nightly.
Drive thru--avoid this queue at all costs between 7-8:30AM.
WiFi--Without a contract with T-Mobile, you can get online for $6 p/hour or $9.99 for a 24-hour period.
