| - Yes, yes, yes, I know its a chain. But its Starbucks. We're all robots to it.
This location is just OK. When contrasted against other Starbucks' around, the seating area is pretty limited. The seating layout is narrow and long and the acoustics, coupled with the closely swinging door, just don't make it a super inviting place to do work. On more than one occasion, my PhD student best friend and I have tried to come do a working session with our laptops, but usually end up leaving early because it gets too loud and the vibe is off.
Otherwise, they have a nice patio (wi-fi can be unsteady) and my drink is normally always correct, which is about all you can ask for. I did go through a period of time where my order would always be wrong, but as others have pointed out, they seem to be over that hump! The baristas working the counter are always very friendly and efficient.
Will point out: came in here a couple days ago, and before I could even order, the guy goes, "Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte?" -- not sure if he was confusing me with another regular, or just assuming that's what i'd want because i'm a 20-something girl, but LOL. For the record, I don't like PSLs.
