| - Reliable, open late, and centrally located, this Starbucks is one of the "pivotal" Starbucks in the area. It's open until 10:30-ish, sometimes later on the weekends. Due to this coupled with an open patio area with many options for seating, it's a popular hangout for all sorts so I enjoy dropping in for a few minutes and taking in the scene.
As far as service goes, it's pretty prompt. I dunno where some people are going on about "burnt shots," (likely that the shot sat too long and just became bitter but whatever), but as someone who comes from a coffee background, I've never really had an issue with my drinks. I've had one or two drinks max remade for me during the last five years that I've been a regular.
What's interesting is that just recently this Starbucks finally had their last barista turn over, completing a whole new staff since I first started coming here - which isn't bad, considering that's been over the stretch of years.
The drive-through is pitiful. It's a terrible layout and anything more than two cars starts to cut into the lane leading in/out. (I don't do drivethrough, I think that unless you have an army of children or whathave you that drive-throughs for COFFEE and drinks is just laziness all around but that's neither here nor there).
The GM is super friendly, remembers names, and is great about sampling new coffee (such as the Blonde Roast), so feel free to introduce yourself.
