I just loved this little Starbucks on the Southwest corner of E Lincoln and N. 32nd in Phoenix. The building is large with a very spacious feeling inside. There are large window everywhere providing plenty of natural light. There is quite a bit of seating at small wooden tables and even one large one. This is a much larger Starbucks than I am used to seeing back in California. The baristas are quite friendly, calling out a cheery hello as you enter. There is a gentle hubbub of conversations in different languages taking place all around you giving this unassuming little coffee shop a very cosmopolitan feel. Blues music plays softly in the background adding to (not detracting from) the happening vibe of this place.
And, of course, there is the free wifi which Starbucks is known for. We were staying at the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn down the street and had a very difficult time getting good reception for our wifi hotspots necessitating numerous trips to this particular location to use their wifi - and, of course - indulging in their sinfully good expresso beverages. Over my several visits here I have ordered both hot beverages (venti skinny cinnamon dolce latte) and cold beverages (iced green tea) and they were all tasty.
The parking seems to be a little tight at peak hours, but otherwise this is a fabulous location.
