Starbucks

say what you will about starbuck’s coffee and food, but this location is really great. the staff are friendly as heck! one time, I even saw two diva moms get in a screaming fight in line. 10/​10, can’t beat it.

The reality is that for a real coffee lover, Starbucks coffee is pretty terrible. With so many local shops in the Beach that take true pride in their coffee, and roast in house, there is little reason to keep coming back to Starbucks… at least for straight up coffee. Their more elaborate espresso based drinks are passable because they are hidden in their various syrups and sauces. Their teas are okay, but pretty basic in comparison to the dedicated tea houses which have become popular. Their food is prepackaged and unappetizing. Their baked goods are okay, but far from fresh. It’s always interesting to read about what happened to Starbucks in Australia…

This place is convenient corner location for local residents as there is not much parking in the area. The service that you get from the staff is great and there is a side patio that gets plenty of sun for those sunny days.

Coffee here is on demand and supply line ups are long but the wait is fast
I want a smoothie the best here and they are worth it, don’t have to go far.
smells are so calming buy your own passion teas etc enjoy the patio oh and bird watching. :)

It’s fine. It’s a Starbucks. Staff was nice, the last time I was there.

It’s Starbucks. Reliably good!

Its a Starbucks. Not a lot of uniqueness about it compared to other locations, but it is very good at supplying caffeine, as per their responsibility.
Always seems to have a decent supply of treats, the coffee is good and strong like I enjoy.
Staff is usually pretty friendly, even in the morning, but then again they have probably already had some coffee.
Line ups can me a little long on weekends, or at 8:15, but that is the same anywhere.
The only problems I find are at certain times of the day, namely noon, and the 3−5pm time. Not really Starbucks fault, but the place is literally crawling with high school students. Generally loud, swearing, completely talking full of nothing high school kids. I don’t usually mind, but sometimes I like to go sit down and have a quiet coffee without having to listen to a bunch of 14yr olds talk about which girls are easy.
Wow…that sentence made me feel kind of old.
