I stumbled into this Starbucks one afternoon seeking my next caffeine fix, two steps in to this establishment I paused and thought to myself "wow those are some great ceilings", and that's how my love affair with this Starbucks hatched.
Nestled on the corner of Union and President Kennedy, this branch is a hidden gem located off just off the beaten path. The incredibly high ceilings opens the place up inviting patrons to spread out and relax. Relaxing can be accomplished via several sofas and lounge chairs arranged near the windows. Bench seating lines the opposite wall and mixed throughout are a number of small tables that are perfect for getting a little work done. Towards the front of the cafe there's even one large table that can seat 8-10 people.
The staff are really friendly and on more than one occasion they've brought around a tray of free samples. It's clear that the person in charge really cares about the customers and success of the business.
The only gripe I have is that they really crank up their air conditioning. I always leave there feeling like I've got a mild case of hypothermia setting in, you have been warned.
This is hands down one of the best Starbucks to spend the afternoon being productive or not.
