Starbucks

Great staff, super busy almost anytime of the day so be prepared to lineup.

Always busy here. The line is never very long though so if you don’t plan on staying, you can get in, get your beverage, and get out pretty fast. If you hope to get a table through, that may be hard.
Plenty of parking all around as this store is part of a large plaza.
WiFi works pretty well, particularly considering the number of guests with their laptops blazing.
Wish they’d stay open a bit longer. They close at 10 PM most days and there are always a bunch of guests surprised they are being kicked out.

For Richmond HIll, I have found this to be pretty consistent. Friendly staff and follow the drink instructions well. Location is a bit small though.

Dirty coffee mugs with coffee strains at the rim really turned me off!
I have to give credit for the Starbucks for the placement of the electric outlets. There are really 3 different sets around the stores and spread out quite nicely. The chance of getting a table near a plug is quite good!
The nice armchair in the front of the store is a great place to lounge and take a breather…
But those coffee mugs! Just gross me out!

You know, Starbucks gets a bit of a bad rap and I have to say that this particular Starbucks certainly does not deserve it. I was very excited when it opened just down the road from where I work. After all, the drive to coffee was pretty long.
Here they do things right. The staff is knowledgable and friendly and they make good lattés. I’m not a fan of the fancy drinks. Just give me my espresso and steamed milk. Now, the thing about such sime tastes is that when a barista messes the drink up, there’s nowhere to hide. There are only two ingredients after all. I have had some pretty nasty lattés in my time, but never from here.
So, if you’re far from the city and up in Oak Ridges, stop by this Starbucks for a lattè. I’m certain you will be perfectly happy… unless, of course, you don’t like coffee.
