So I recently stopped by PHX on a connecting flight and was welcomed by the 110 degree AZ summer desert that immediately turned me into a prune. So what better way to rehydrate than to go to the nearest beverage selling kiosk?! Hellooo Starbucks.
First, I have to say that I have never been a Starbucks addict (i.e. not a gold card holder) and I don't drink coffee. I KNOW it's a coffee place, but they also serve surprisingly tasty tea, so try it out sometime! My favorite used to be the shaken passion fruit tazo iced tea (the lemonade version makes it slightly sweeter than I like, but still good). After my visit here, my current favorite (and possibly the drink that has gotten me hooked to Starbucks) is the shaken green tea lemonade with a packet of honey and 2 pumps of that good old syrup. SOOO GOOD. I can drink them all day. Though in retrospect, not a good idea if you're going on a long flight. Lesson learned.
Anyways, the Starbucks here isn't really different from any other, except for the fact that it's in an airport...which when compared to other airport Starbucks really isn't different at all, BUT this one has AMAZING staff who's friendly and willing to make whatever your heart desires despite the long line of people they have to make special drinks for. And I think that in itself makes it stand out among the rest of the Starbucks I've been to.
