| - There are many Starbucks I've been to, but this one is a preferred favorite.
I've been using this place as a meeting spot for a long time - get-togethers with friends, business meetings, even the occasional date... you name it. Having lived in Port Credit for all of my life, this spot has some of the best views of the marina you can find.
It helps that this place is the most heavily-trafficked in the village, and still retains a quaint charm even after all these years. It's definitely unlike a lot of other locations I've visited, as the decor (high wooden ceilings, warm lighting) make it a preferred stop in the summer.
The biggest problem is the lack of seating. It seems that every time you come in, you have to wait and try to snatch up a table immediately, because (and this is a problem with almost all Starbucks) people come in and loiter/work while sipping coffee. The chairs are also very uncomfortable to sit in due to their design, and I get the feeling that some malicious designer made them that way so people are more apt to leave quicker.
Also, if you're coming here during hot weather, be prepared for long lineups. It's almost always a zoo if there's a festival in Memorial Park, and you'd be better served hitting up one of the other coffee shops in the village.
Regardless, I love this spot. Definitely recommended!
