It's pretty nice that they opened up some bigger chains near my area. I'm not a coffee drinker but I like going to Starbucks for their passion iced tea and their yummy treats. Also my students always keep buying me gift cards. It is always very cold inside including in the summer so I generally don't like to be inside. The outside area is really nice though there isn't much of a view. However people watching is always fun. They do tend to run out of their food items so it can get annoying sometimes when you have those cravings. It's a nice location but the parking lot and drive thru are a bit crazy. It's very narrow in the drive thru area and I drive an suv so sometimes I have to really maneuver. The parking lot can get full in the summer with mucho burrito and menchies in the same lot. However there is a huge Plaza across the street. One of these businesses should have gone there to ease the congestion. Much nicer to go in the summer.
