I've been going to this Starbucks for many years now and thoroughly enjoy going there to get my coffee fix. While I'll agree that the parking can be a bit challenging during peak times I will say there is plenty of parkiing if you don't mind a short walk from the adjacent bank parking lot.
As for the patio - I do not agree with the review that it is a smoky nightmare...haha - I have sat out there plenty of times with my family (including small kids) and have not had a hard time breathing.
The staff of this Starbucks are some of the most friendliest people you will meet.
