According to the barista, this location just north of Square One, opened up in September. And I was glad to hear since this location is convenient and not jam packed like the location at Chapters!
With approx. 10 tables that accommodate 2ppl + 1 long Harvest table for ppl working on laptops, the seating itself here is rather limited.
Service: Workers here seem very friendly and genuinely nice. I was very surprised when the lady who took my order actually made a SUGGESTION. After numerous visits to SB, this was actually the first time that anyone has done this and it was greatly appreciated!
I ended up trying out a drink that I would never have ordered 'cause I have never even heard of it - an Americano Misto.
My only complaint about this and many stand-alone Starbucks locations is that why are they all soo damn cold (physically)?? I think the answer lies in their floor-to-ceiling windows that surround half of the café walls. Why can't they just do windows wherein customers who are sitting down can still look out? I was literally wearing my Canada Goose while typing away it was that cold!
And the washrooms are even worse, absolutely no insulation whatsoever. I felt as though I was pissing out icicles!
Tip: If you tend to get cold, sit in the middle of the café, away from either entrances.
