Starbucks

Location is located basically in the Arboretum. The location is pretty easy to spot from the street. It shares a plaza with a Trader Joe’s and a couple other establishments.
Most of the parking close to the actual Starbucks may be taken since this is a rather popular place for people to meet. If you’re lucky you could even get some shaded parking under the trees (although you may have to watch for bird poop!). If you can’t find one near, you can probably just park a bit a ways. The plaza is pretty big.
This Starbucks serves wine in addition to coffee. They also openly advertise their non-​blended coffees which is a nice addition. I don’t think all the Starbucks locations have the option of getting some or at least in the variety that they have here.
The interior has plenty of seating. Not all have access to a plug though, so you need to look around for one before you claim a seat. They have a big seating area in the center of the room. There are plenty of plugs there, so if you need to find one quick, that’s the place to look first. Plenty of out-​door seating (not sure if there are plugs).
The service is generally pretty good. They sometimes come around and offer samples of the wine and sweets. Never had that before at another location. Pretty cool.
The bathrooms are okay. Not the cleanest, but not the worst. It could definitely be better though.
All in all, a good place to spend a couple of hours.

Another awful experience at this location. Keep hoping for improvement. It is a design disaster. The layout offers nothing for speed and convenience. The tall bald barista is always rude and dismissive. Time to shut this one down.

I love this location due to the outdoor seating! They have a great courtyard with lots of tables– some are covered. It’s in the shopping center with Trader Joes, as well as other stores that get a lot of traffic, so be prepared to look for parking– there’s plenty of spots, just a tight fit for some. They just remodeled the store and it’s beautiful. They baristas are friendly and I have never had an issue with drink or food.

The standard Starbucks experience with a recent, tedious interior design update that makes you think you’re in a swanky San Francisco bar place except you’re not tipsy, there’s no DJ, and no one notices your awesome new tie.
Wait, what were we talking about?
Pros:
* Standard coffee experience, good service
Cons:
* The new design isn’t great, tables are harder to use, increasingly difficult to find a place to plug in your laptop and get anything useful done
* Parking lot is terrible. Park away from the building and walk to avoid this. Also, it’s not Trader Joe’s fault, it was like this even when that store was empty.

The most beautiful Starbucks I have ever been to and I have been to far too many Starbucks locations in my day! It has a local coffee shop vibe but still serves up my favorite drinks with the nicest staff. Starbucks always does it right but this Starbucks is on another level of fantastic!!!

Been a fan of the chain forever and one of the advantages of that is Starbucks is everywhere! Love their frapuchino menu. This location is pretty clean and organized.

Avoid. Worse since remodel. Mobile orders a jokes since they don’t pay a lot of attention to the machine they print from. Store seems busier than ever so hope they get things together. In the meantime, will avoid.

It’s my favorite and closest Starbucks in proximity! I could always go to the Randalls, Target or Barnes and Noble starbucks but this one always takes the cake. Unfortunately, so does everyone else and it’s quite booming on any mornings or weekends.
Outside lounge chairs and patio tables with umbrella shades are great, as well as comfy chairs inside with bar stools facing the window for great people watching is fun!
Caught in the rain on my food run to Trader Joes and ducked in here for a lunch with a TJ’s salad. No judgement! Except from the fun Starbucks guy that works here in the mornings, he’s great! He remembers my husband’s order to a T, also probably helps that we used to walk here at 6am everyday as our morning routine in getting in our mad caffeine fix.
Please stop tempting me with your sweets every time I wait in line, my body requires less sugars to stay healthy. Don’t ever change!

Great staff and location. Quick service, smiling faces, nice and rommie with plenty of seating. Was well kept as well and clean

It occurs to me the only thing more redundant than me writing another Starbucks review is you reading it, so we’ll just finish our journey with this one. And we’ll call it, «Saving the Best for Last.»
Because this is my favorite Starbucks, my home base, the one I frequent the most. There are seven other Starbucks closer to my usual routes — three of them with Clover machines & drive-​thrus — but who knows why we really like the things we do? In the end, it’s all good.
(Okay, I’m not totally impractical: My HEB & dry cleaner are up the street, and the Arboretum Trader Joe’s is next door. Actually, it’s an Ann Taylor next door, but I don’t go there.)
So what we have here is a Starbucks that’s big inside, with six faux leather chairs, a bunch of tables & counter space, and a staff that’s seriously pleased you’re there. It’s also the best SB patio in town, with the usual outside tables, and a dozen oversized lounge chairs under the shady tree as well. The crowd here is older, I see a lot of meet-​up groups, and it’s as tranquil or as laptop-​intense as you want it to be. But when this place packs up — which happens a lot — don’t these people know they’re supposed to disdain Starbucks and patronize the latest & greatest coffeehouse, with crappy parking & hipster attitude? Gosh darn it. People are either so oblivious these days, or just not very good Unilocalers.

All Starbucks are not created equal… Especially when it comes to service!
This location is awesome! Especially when James helps you. He is so friendly to everyone and helpful. Love this Starbucks by my office, but it does get really busy, but the line does go quickly.
What’s not to love about Starbucks?
The funny thing is my new favorite is their cold pressed orange juice.
