So long Taco Bell (they built a new one down the street), hello Starbucks. Just like good old Kenny Rogers Roasters, another business has come and gone in this shopping center. Not that I will miss Taco Bell like I do KRR, but the Hyde Park/Charleston Heights area in general has sure seen so many changes since I was younger. It seems Starbucks can survive most anywhere so it's got as good of a shot as previous tenants in the center.
This Starbucks is located on the corner on Decatur and Charleston. I rarely have issues when ordering on the mobile app yet when doing so at this location I still ended up waiting in a crowd of people to get my drink. It seemed very unorganized (the lines) and the inside wasn't very clean. I know Starbucks gets busy which is why I love using their app to order so I can avoid the lines and waiting, but when you have to wait just the same as if you ordered inside it defeats the purpose of ordering ahead on the app. My drink was very good and I'll stop by again when I am in the area, but I hope the mobile ordering works out better because inside isn't as spacious as other locations and feels sort of cramped, so not a 'bucks I could see myself hanging out inside.
