Yes I am a fan of Starbucks... They are who I always fall back onto, especially being new to the QC and wanting NOT to drive across town to a locally owned store front what with gas so high.
I came across this Starbucks as I just had lunch next door at Crisp (which was delightful).
I really like the "feel" of this one... it reminds me of the one back home. The staff was pleasant, the locals polite and the area cute! Too bad there isn't a spot outside to sit with your dogs - Crisp has one, but I'd hate to take up their tables.
The inside is a bit worn, but that is what I like about this one. AND they have a picture of a Vespa on the wall... how cafe is that.
They of course have free wi-fi with tons of outlets to plug into, the downside is the glare. I had to move three times to get a better viewing area.
Yes I will come back.
