Starbucks

It’s Starbucks, what more can I say. Oh yeah I forgot, it’s always packed-​so better come early to get a table…

Reviewing a Starbucks? Say what?
No, but seriously this is a good one and should be noted. I’ve come in here several times and have always been met with a smile, proper drink and a welcoming vibe all around. But last night holds an experience I want to sing about!
I had a paper due and wanted a change of scenery so I packed up and came here. Immediately I see that I am not alone; many other have chosen to do the same thing as me and work away from home. This leads me to feel comfortable enough to save a table by an outlet (it’s not too busy) and order up a drink. I won’t comment on how the drink was– caramel macchiato, you know already know– but the seasonal gingerbread loaf was quite moist and yummy with delicious cream cheese icing on top and candied/​gingered orange rind sprinkled on top. Pretty!
I got it For Here because I was planning on camping out for a while. I wasn’t sure if they still did this but I was so happy to hear the barista say, «I love it when people do that and save the environment». Look at me. I am single-​handedly saving the environment as I enjoy my coffee and cake off china. Who doesn’t want to do that? If you want to save the environment, this is the way to go.
It was a five star Starbucks experience if not for some serious cardboard box messiness towards the back. Perhaps garbage day was soon but there should be another place to put the accumulation. I got a ton of work done though! I found it to be just the right place with mild volumed music, people but not too many, great service, caffeine and snacks for energy. See you soon so we can save the world again, Starbucks.

Aside from what you expect from a Starbucks this location in particular seems to put in a good effort trying to fit into the community. The tables are larger, the community board actually has relevant things on it, and the staff are cheerful. If there wasn’t a big sign on the store you’d probably think it to be a local coffee shop like the one across the street.
