This is one busy Starbucks.
It's right smack at the corner of King and Yonge and this coffee shop receives a lot of foot traffic. At any time during the day, 7 days a week, the shop is busy with people from nearby offices and hotels.
The interior has changed over the years, especially in terms of seating and communal tables. I could feel their invitation of wanting to work on my laptop for hours because it seemed like a communal office space than a coffee shop.
There used to be two loungey areas in the front corner and in the centre of the shop. They had comfy leather chairs that your body would naturally sink into. While they've kept one of those loungey areas, the other has been replaced with tall tables and high chairs.
If you're a fan of their coffee and non-stop activity, this might be the environment you're looking for. But for those who are looking for peace and quiet, you might want to head to another Starbucks, which the downtown core has no shortage of.
