Every have one of these mornings when you need a second breakfast? Yup, Happened to me recently. Had an early start at work, so I stopped and ate with Jack (the one in a box) at 6 am and my tapeworm was screaming feed me at 9:30. It was also crying for some coffee and since I had recently received a nice gift card to Starbucks, I pointed the Truckia (my Kia Soul) to the nearest Starbucks.
Now despite conventional wisdom that there is a Starbucks on every corner in America-I'm going top smash that connotation right here and now. This Starbucks across from Desert Ridge is the only Starbucks within 100 miles of another coffee shop, let alone another Starbucks. It has to be based on the line of cars in the drive through at 9:30 am and the number of caffeine-deprived coffee seekers and computer toting intellectuals inside.
Mixed it up this morning and went with a Blonde (they're more fun) cappuccino. Had a ton of foam on it (there's a visual). Excellent cup of coffee! Like I said, I was hungry and Starbucks, if you can resist the valley of sugar in the display case has a good selection of breakfast sandwiches. I had the biscuit with sausage, bacon, egg. It was terrific! It held me over until Timmy the Tapeworm started crying again around 1 PM.
This really is a smoking busy Starbucks but the service and attitude of the employees was chill and welcoming. Food and drink was as expected. Would love to see another one, even next door but that's above my pay grade.
Go grab a blonde and a biscuit, they're perfect for a mid-morning snack.
