Starbucks

What on earth is going on here? We were coming out of the mountains after a morning of smashing snow drifts and mud surfing and stopped in for a sit down coffee. Let’s be honest — not all Starbucks are created equal. Sometimes the coffee has a slight burnt or stale taste and pastries made in other time zones and shipped in sometimes taste their age. But not here in ‘don’t-blink-or-you’ll-miss-it’ Conifer, Colorado. My coffee tastes great and my usual lemon loaf treat is fabulously fresh. While all other Starbucks have yesterday’s pastries — this one apparently has tomorrow’s. As an additional bonus a murmured conversation in the corner consists of a tutor teaching a high school student college entrance math while James Brown regales from the rafters, «Get Up Offa That Thing». This place has it all. Love it! Did I mention the jaw dropping mountain views out the windows?

Favorite stand alone Starbucks! The staff is friendly and efficient, always make a great drink and they spell my name correctly.

This is my favorite Starbucks, everyone is always so nice!

They made the best Chai I’ve had in a long time. You’d think Starbucks as a brand would be able to nail special orders 100% of the time– but they don’t. This one does.
Fast service, easiest to get in and out of if your are heading Northbound on 285.

I found another one — did you have any doubt?
This one was a specific craving I required after visiting Evergreen Lake with the BF. Surprisingly or maybe not so surprisingly there is no real close Starbucks to Evergreen. No worries, the BF knew of one and took me there for an Iced Tea fix and a bathroom break. Bathrooms are individual and clean and always convenient for the quick pop in. Barista’s seemed very slow for the very few customers in line. Not overly impressed.
There is a small patio to the side that backs to the exit of the drive thru. Drive thru is convenient and something I always appreciate especially when in a rush or trying to get somewhere timely.
It’s a bit hidden but worth a stop if you’re having a craving like me.

I LOVE this SB location! The staff here are so friendly to you. The best part about is it that is just who they are naturally! This location gets super busy, but they do an excellent job working to get everyone’s orders quickly. SB isn’t the best coffee in the world, but this location welcomes you with open arms making you want to go!

Nice friendly staff; offered a free shot of cappuccino and handled my CHRISSY special drink in stride.
I happened to be up in Conifer and of course the lovely green maiden beckoned. Sometimes mountain Starbucks can be a little snooty but this one greeted me like an old friend.
It’s one of the largest indoors that I’ve seen with three separate sets of cozy furniture and lots of tables along with a small patio in the front and a huge patio to the side. Your view if you look just beyond the parking lot is spectacular.

Even though Starbucks coffee isn’t the best in the world, the staff makes this place. They are great. It’s a good place to study and quite comfortable compared to some of the other Starbucks.
