This is my local Starbucks, it's the closest location in proximity to my house therefore it's my "go to" Starbucks.
This Starbucks is pretty small, its long, narrow, cozy, and the coffee bar takes up 2/3 of the space therefore leaving space for only limited seating. I've been here a few times with no place to sit so most of the time I come with the intentions of getting my caffeine fix to go. The plus side of this location is that in the warmer months they do have a lovely long patio with more outdoor seating than the interior provides.
This late Monday night however it was pretty vacant but I wanted my goods to go anyhow. Unfortunately they were out of my favourite treats, the Oat Fudge Bar and the Mini Red Velvet Whoopie Pie. As per recommedation of the barista I decided to give the Cake Pops a go. For drink I stuck to my favourite tried and true Vanilla Latte.
Vanilla Latte - Espresso and steamed milk, with Vanilla with syrup.
I asked for it extra Hot and although I drove home (10 min ride) it still remained pretty warm with a nice layer of foam still intact. I also like to make use of the shakers and sprinkled some vanilla and chocolate powder on top. Overall they make a consistently good starbucks aprroved quality latte.
Rocky Road Cake Pop - Chocolate cake and icing dipped in a dark chocolaty coating, with mini marshmallows and roasted almonds.
I thoroughly enjoyed the cake pop! A super moist chocolate cake encased in a dark chocolaty shell topped with marshmallows and crunchy almonds. It also had marshmellows and almonds on the inside too! It's the perfect treat if you just want a bite sized sweet.
Overall always friendly service here and consistent quality. Do check out the patio in the summer months!
