The staff is usually polite, I’ve never had a rude encounter at this location. However, I do not like that the inside always freezing cold, it does not matter if it is winter or summer. Also, I wish they were open till 2300 hours like the other Starbucks locations, for example like the Starbucks on Sawmill Rd. in Dublin. Also, past a certain time they shut the lights off outside, which if you’re sitting outside in the summertime and you want to sit longer and have some atmosphere, that kills the atmosphere and makes you feel like they want to kick you out. It does not give you a relaxed café atmosphere. I will complain and hope that change their ways!

This seems to be the only Starbucks I go to that is constantly out of something to make their drinks. Everything else about the store is great, don’t get me wrong. It is just really annoying that there is a 50% chance I can’t get the item I want. Not the manager there but maybe they should start ordering more of certain things they are constantly out of.

You wouldn’t be able to tell at first glance, but this place used to be a Taco Bell. They did a remarkable job redecorating the place. They had several seating sections, instead of one large seating area. In the back area they even have a large table enough to seat 12 people if you are looking for a place to have a group meeting. My only complaint is there’s a slight draft from the windows.

It’s hard to believe this place was once a Taco Bell. The renovated interior and exterior completely disguise that. The inside is beautiful – dark wood floors, low-sititng leather chairs with side tables, a very long table at the entrance, and smaller four-tops scattered in the main dining area. The previous location was just down the road but didn’t have a drive-thru and both the restaurant and parking lot were pretty small. The staff seem pretty friendly at this location, but I think my heart lies with the staff at the Bethel Rd. location. I was here very early on a Sunday morning(~7AM) and there were a few people reading or hard at work. I think if you can work at off-peak hours, you’re fine, but I could see why it would be difficult to focus during the rush hour – I think the space might be highly reverberative. Food and beverages are consistent to what I’ve experienced at other locations. The store is accessible from Henderson Rd. heading westbound, but getting in and out by car is kind of tight and wind-y. I think there are probably a handful more parking spots than the old location, but on a day when it’s full, it’s a challenge to navigate getting in and out of a spot.

I was a bit hesitant to try out this Starbucks after reading one of the reviews about the sound echoing from the counter throughout the store, but I am happy to say that wasn’t my experience. Maybe it’s a matter of where I sat, but I was able to have a great meeting here. I sat near the east entrance in the work space area, and had no problem hearing or being heard. The baristas were friendly. My drink was really good — passion tea lemonade. Though the store was busy, I found the space to be really suitable for a meeting. There were people studying, people working, people meeting, people talking. The parking was pretty easy, too. Overall, no complaints! I would definitely come back.

A Starbucks is a Starbucks is a Starbucks. For drinks this Starbucks isn’t any different, which is a good thing, If I must dinged them on drinks that means that someone isn’t doing something right; a multi-billion national force should have formula down to an easy list. Therefor I will not review a Starbucks unless they super homerun my expectations or they whiff at them. This one whiffs. The reason? Believe it or not, acoustics. This place echo’s every noise from the counter. Living in the Northwest side, I was excited when this place popped-up in the old Taco Bell off Henderson and Reed. I like to walk for exercise, and to stop by a place to read. Unfortunately, cafes in this section of town are slim pickings. You had either the Bethel Road ‘Buck or the old one on Henderson off Derker, both were small, pickup-and-go kind of places. I was happy that a bigger café had finally moved into the neighborhood. But then the catch. It is hard to read, or enjoy much of anything because of the noise level. I do not know why, but the building echoes every drive through order, every ching from the cash register, ever shoosh of the steamer, and every gulp of the milk container. Even worse, the employees, who I think are teenagers fresh off their school day, energized and blood bubbling with hormones are crazy; you hear ever giggle, every loud peacocking, every goofy joke, every lousy imitation, every insipid movie meme, every awkward juvenile flirt, and even their squeaky sneakers rubbing on the floor as they have their teenage hormonal goof-spasms, all as if they were yelling right in my ear, as I was trying to read Sacred Hunger, a solemn book about the slave trade. No, no. This place will not do as a hang out spot.

This is the nicest Starbucks I’ve been in. Like any(and every) Starbucks it seems, there is a propensity to shove the square tables together and where 2 or 4 people could sit it will only seat 1 or 2 during busy times. That’s my biggest pet peeve with any Starbucks, if it’s full you can’t get a table when 1 or 2 people are hogging space for double that. That’s bad business on Starbuck’s part for squeezing the tables together. Othewise this is a very pleasant location that does get very busy so it’s 50⁄50 that you can find seating.

First I have to say, I love Starbucks! This location is very close to where I live and I love the drive-thru. While the new store is huge and beautiful — the customer service and quality/consistency of the drinks is disappointing… also, the drive-thru is super slow.

Its a Starbucks – with all the positive and negative connotations that come with it. That said, it’s a new space, it’s much bigger than the previous location nearby and the drive through is convenient. Try the chocolate chai tea latte with an extra shot of espresso.

While the menu isn’t any different from a standard Starbucks, this former Taco Bell has been transformed into a fantastic and comfortable space that allows you to get a coffee, relax on a couch, and let the world fade into the background for a while. Absolutely worth checking out if you enjoy their coffee.

This Starbucks seems to have sprung up in the blink of an eye. I pass by the location every week when I go grocery shopping, and it feels like one week it was a shell with a «Starbucks Coming Soon» sign, and the next week there it was! As far as Starbucks go, it’s large and has a great patio area. It’s laid out differently from any other Starbucks I’ve visited, with a big area that looks like a party room on one side of the store. Could be good for meetings if your group gets there early enough to push the tables together(there’s one in there right now). There are plenty of tables as well as armchairs and a retail section right down the center that splits up the space and makes it feel cozier than the size would otherwise allow. It’s unclear why they built one here when the next-nearest is a third of a mile away, unless it’s because this one could accommodate a drive-through and the other one could not. Not complaining, though, as this one is far more comfortable; the one at 2051 is pretty cramped. I head to Starbucks when I need some reliability(and on the weekend when all the great locally owned coffeehouses are packed to the gills while serving brunch), but there are few interesting enough to make a purposeful destination. This is about as close as I think it could come.

This Starbucks is brand new, they just moved from the much smaller location on Dierker Rd. It is very spacious with a large conference table and many smaller seating areas. They also have a drive-thru now! The coffees are all excellent as usual for Starbucks. Most of the employees are very friendly and helpful.
