First off parking is tight but plenty of places to park if you don't mind walking some people still do this. Be careful backing out of the spots on bias because people will cruise up to get in the drive thru line. The reason this Starbucks can be slow sometimes is this is the busiest one in Phoenix they compete with the one over at Shea & 101 (I hear they go back and forth so just remember if you go to the busiest starbucks in the state you might wait). I go in here or drive thru here at least 5 times a week. So ASU west is really close you have your study buddy thing going on, the hospital Banner Thunderbird is just past ASU west so these hospital folks come in. Then half the people at the gym I go to go in here which is just down the way in the strip mall. The baristas do turn over pretty quickly in here but Bri who works in the morning knows me from my voice when I drive thru at 4 something in the morning on my way to work. The other older ladies who work in the morning here are always nice. The afternoons are your highschool/college baristas mostly....definitely some hotties. There is a beautiful blonde who always wears this punk rock rasta belt gorgeous blonde hair wow she is worth going in here just to dump your coffee out at the door lol. I have gone and waited and also been through really quickly but every one is nice and given how busy they are most of the time I get what I want a strong ass cup of over roasted coffee in a hurry so I can deal with my life. So if you go here please take the aforementioned statements into account. Also you know why I get in and out of here so fast..? I'm not a pretentious a$$hole I get a venti pike place roast......you coffee hipsters with your \"special orders\" really jam up the jerks who have written all the negative reviews about a really nice Starbucks. Thanks for reading."^^ .
