Starbucks

Ok, so I love the local spots and all but you just can’t beat a well lite and great ambient noise area to study in… and this Starbucks has just the right combination! It’s what you would expect of any Starbucks but it definitely is geared to larger group gatherings, well with the Outlet Malls being across the street and all. There is ample space to study, grab a coffee before shopping, or meet with you friends on the large country style table to enjoy good company.
Like I said, I enjoy it for the studying environment. Plenty of good size tables, free wifi, ample space to put books and laptop out, and the staff is great at keeping the place in order and quick with your order.
Overall, since the next few weeks of my life involve studying for more than 4 hours, I’ll be visiting this coffee house often to get ready for boards!

Very disappointed with this particular Starbucks! Last thanksgiving weekend we drove though this Starbucks and placed our order to some caffeine before our long drive back to Arizona. Ordered a white mocha and asked for 5 pumps of mocha instead of 6, well I swear my drink tasted like it had 10 pumps of chocolate. And same thing happened today! Not happy with this Starbucks.
If you want Starbucks and are near by, drive over to the one at the outlet mall.

Don’t judge this place by the stars. It’s Starbucks… where the baristas just push buttons, so the coffee will taste the same everywhere you go. The staff when I was there was great– very friendly and outgoing. Worth it if you’re in need of some caffeine.

Starbucks is all about consistency. You can go into any Starbucks and get your favorite drink made the same way, right? Wrong! This Starbucks is all about consistency all right… consistently wrong! It seems they can’t get an order right! Basic drinks, like a vanilla latte, are made wrong! No matter how many times I decide to give them another try, I’m disappointed. And the service is exceptionally slow. I understand the store is next to the Outlets, but I’ve gone on Sunday morning when there is literally nobody in the store and still waited 10 minutes for a drink! Maybe the baristas were not properly trained, but this Starbucks falls way below average in quality & service.

This Starbucks is simultaneously the fuel provider for and oasis from a day of Outlet shopping. I drove thru for a latte before hitting the stores and stopped by for a passionfruit iced tea and a cake pop before heading back east.
Small location, but very new, I like the desks, they’ve got 2 tables set against the wall that give you that desk feeling because there’s only one chair. Patio area is nice too, with the sunroof and fan.
