This SBUX isn't the absolute best, but it certainly doesn't deserve such a low rating. The [most current] staff here are far more conversational and personable than past groups, and they handle rush hour Gastonia crowds considerably well. The drive-thru at this location is one that builds up super quickly, and for patrons who decide to park, exiting the lot can become difficult. Other highlights include a large outdoor patio w/ individually covered tables, a large communal table (seating for 10), a lot of outdoor "single tables" lining the front exterior.
