The location itself is a-okay. This place seems like a popular place for the locals as there was a steady stream of folks coming through the door for pickups. I found the seating area accommodating and I could get some work done while waiting for my meeting. As far as the drinks, I went with a Matcha Latte and found it to be shockingly sweet. Kind of like any other drink at Starbuck's, I couldn't even taste the Matcha, the syrup overpowered the drink. Since I was just there to meet somebody, I kept the cup next to me so I could keep my seat and dumped it out afterwards. 3 stars for giving me a convenient place to set down my laptop for an hour at a rate of $6/hr. As far as the coffee/Matcha, you guys realize its a sugar rush you're getting and not the caffeine right. How do you all drink this stuff! Stick with the plain drip coffee or at least drastically reduce the pumps of syrup they put in your sugar milk.

Busy Starbucks- wait time is 10+ min for a cold brew from between ordering & reviving drink. Drink dude trying his best. Thx for the daily dose of caffeine

This branch is ok but very busy!

The best Starbucks so far!!!I’ve been at Starbucks so often with more than 20 different ones and I have to admit that this location is the best. The staffs are so friendly and understanding. They always welcome the customers with their big smiles and soft voice. I can imagine they are having happy lives. You can see that they are busy but fully energetic.The location is great for you to stop by and enjoy and cup of coffee.

I’m a big fan of Starbucks but this specific one is always slow with many staff just standing around.

Worst staff ever, they always mistake my order and there is often missing items when you order a delivery.

Order took half an hour for 1 coffee

Good Starbucks, team members are nice, service is fast, and food quality is no pretty high. The interior is a little run down, but that's likely due to their popularity.

Grumpy old lady at the register ?

If you're looking for a quiet area to have semi-formal meetings, write documents, or do something for business or school that requires internet, here is the place to go.
