I am not a huge Starbucks coffee fan (too bitter for my taste) but I can not deny that I thoroughly enjoy a Venti White Chocolate Iced with 2 extra shots and whipped cream on a hot day.
When I'm feeling especially indulgent I'll spring for the Coffee Frapacino. The heck with the calories!
The staff is always warm and friendly with big smiles and a ready welcome. I get a kick out of listening to the booming barritone voice of the barista. Don't know his name, but he is young and his voice and personality are that of a much larger guy. Personality plus.
Usually fast, usually accurate. When they make a boo boo on a drink they give it to ya for free. Can't knock that kind of service.
I love the whole ambience in these coffee houses even if I'm not "in love" with their "straight" coffee.
