It’s your typical yuppie centric Starbucks, that gets decent traffic despite the Colectivo coffee legit around the corner, and the anodyne across the steer in the public market. Those two places, as far as I know, do not have a barister(male form of barista that I maybe just made up) that works most mornings who has the most beautiful eyes. I find myself not allowing myself to look at him/then for more than a mere moment for fear of melting and leaving my coffee cup just sitting on the floor. They’re all courteous. Efficient. Solid Starbucks locale IMHO.

It’s a Starbucks, you know, but with a great location! My white chocolate mocha is always on point.

It’s Starbucks. One of the things I like about Starbucks is their consistency. I always know what to expect. This one isn’t any different. The baristas are always very friendly. The coffee is great. I prefer the Pikes roast, latte, or a frappuccino. I love the pumpkin bread and Greek yogurt blueberry muffin here. Whenever I rate coffee shops, I always end up preferring Starbucks in the bakery item category. This place has a fireplace with a couch and two outside sidewalk tables. The only downside of this Starbucks is that it is missing the baby/toddler amenities — a high chair and changing table. I had to change my baby’s diaper on the bathroom floor. Ick. Oh well, I still keep coming here in the rotation along with Colectivo around the corner, Hudson business lounge a couple of blocks away, and Stone Creek down the street.

Starbucks is a Starbucks is a Starbucks, except when one is poorly managed and then it just sucks. I live in the neighborhood and what some people call the«coziness» of this location I feel is the ennui of the employees enveloping as you make your way back to the counter to order. The lack of common sense at this location never ceases to amaze me. For example, it’s 8:15AM, there’s a long line and they have an employee cleaning the front door. Really? Maybe those smudged fingerprints on the glass of the door could wait until after the morning rush. I went for iced coffee and I was told they were out of it at 8AM! Is it really that hard to gauge when those pitchers of cold coffee are close to empty? I was offered an Iced Americano, which I was told by the barista, «is the same thing as coffee, except it’s espresso and water.» And she would have to make it hot, which makes it the same thing… kinda…sorta…not really at all. Guess it’s time for me to dust of the olé french press and start making my coffee at home again.

Love this Starbucks location. Clean and spacious, friendly staff. One of two locations I frequent, yet ONLY at this location will a couple of the baristas often have my regular order ready before I even get to the cashier. I mean, that’s about as good as it gets right?

It’s a Starbucks. Not much more you can expect. Don’t expect to drive there around 5 on any day or on Saturday and find a parking spot. Absolutely impossible. Not Starbucks fault, but it would be vastly improved by having a few spots dedicated for customers. If you’re walking there, it’s great and the baristas are friendly.

This is my all-time favorite Starbucks location. It’s chic, spacious, and clean. Best of all, there is no need to fight other patrons for an outlet.(:

Starbucks is Starbucks, but this location has the nicest atmosphere. Farwell is tiny, Ogden is in a strip mall, and Red Arrow Park is mostly outdoor seating, but this location is great for cozying up with a cup of coffee in the winter and sitting in a nice comfy chair by the fireplace.

This Starbucks is right around the corner from my work, so I frequent it often. And I must say, it’s my favorite. Cozy on the inside, always serves great drinks and the staff is friendly. What more could you want from a Starbucks, right?

Wonderful ambiance, with the renovated building and the comfy furniture. One quickly gets used to the few, slightly uneven spots on the floor. This was the lightest latte I’ve ever had, not much more than half full of liquid, and the rest, foam, which would account for its much more bitter taste than Starbuck’s usual. That there were no toilet paper or seat covers in the men’s room didn’t affect me this time. I’m visiting Milwaukee, but it would still be my last visit to this Starbucks if I lived here.

It’s a Starbucks. Same old, same old. I will say that this location boasts a wide variety of clientele, given it’s location. You get a very odd slice of life ranging from businessmen to street bums. There always seems to be a considerable wait here, even when there aren’t lots of customers…(why? I don’t quite know…) But aside from those issues, it’s pretty much just what you’d expect.

It’s nothing unusual compared to other Starbucks, but I do love this location. The staff is friendly and efficient, and there’s just something to be said for baristas who make consistently good drinks. This particular location offers a good amount of seating space, making it a great place to get work done or have a small meeting.

A Starbuck’s like any other, this one is a bit more cramped at the counter, especially during prime wake-up hours. It’s still very roomy in the seating area with plenty of window space for watching traffic and enjoying daylight. The staff here has been friendly on my visits through and are actually more conversational than most of the baristas I interact with.
