Starbucks

For a Starbucks, you get your regular drink prepared the same way as elsewhere. Hot water is hot water anywhere. This location is great on nice sunny days, the large windows allow excellent viewing of outside and of by lake Ontario. High wooden ceilings make it feel bigger than it really is. It gives off the feel of a more «tourist location» than say a Starbucks in downtown Toronto.

This is the Starbucks of all Starbucks.
If you need a beautiful place to be inspired then this is it. The location has beautiful glass windows that overlook the marina and Lake Ontario. The décor has beautiful raised ceilings, exposed wood beams, etc. It’s a great place to work (if you work outside the office) and an excellent place to meet with friends. It’s often loud (as most coffee shops generally are) and is always quite busy. During the summer, they have a beautiful, large patio where you can often find local cyclists, runners, and families.
I didn’t give it 5 stars because the service can be a little bit slow. The employees are nice enough, but often seem to enjoy talking to each other more than they enjoy serving their customers.

Really nice Starbucks with a raised ceiling and exposed wood beams. Nice view of the water and the fake Port Credit lighthouse.
The reason I’m writing this review is because the chairs in here are the absolute least comfortable I’ve ever sat in. Remarkably bad. A bar runs into the top of your back like some medieval torture device. I’m not sure why they chose these, other than to encourage visitors to never sit down for longer than 15 seconds. So don’t plan to sit down for a few hours to work.

Another Starbucks with the expected mediocre coffee. The thing that makes this location different is that it feels like you’re in a cottage or boat house when you’re here. The interior has a nice atmosphere with the exposed beams and huge cushioned arm chairs.
Disclaimer: if you’re coming here for a quiet place to relax and read a book, go elsewhere. This location is always busy because Running Room participants and cyclists like to congregate here after their workouts.

Generally, I prefer to support smaller, independent coffee chains, but as far as Starbucks go, this one is great. The service is often quite friendly.

As far as chain cafés go, this is probably the prettiest Starbucks that I have been in! It has a warmer feel with vaulted, wood plank ceilings, and industrial style light fixtures. No comparison to SB found in malls, Chapters/​Indigo, Target, or strip plazas. Particularly nice during the evening!
Warning: This location is particularly busy during the Summer months with tons of pedestrian traffic! So prepare yourself to see a line out the door on some days.
Parking: Slightly difficult to access if you’re travelling West on Lakeshore. Lot is quite small. Park at the library instead.
Minus a point ’cause it’s usually busy, so I personally wouldn’t be able to study/​read here… unless I was trying to procrastinate OR needed some background noise. ;)
Minus another * ’cause there aren’t that many comfy seats available. LOTSA people will bring their laptop, sitting at one of the very few leather armchairs, get up to grab a complimentary water, after their latté is done,…you get the point! Not SB fault, but prime seating is limited.
Might be ok for a date, but not a first one where you’re trying to have an intimate convo!

I like Starbucks, this is my favorite location.
Décor is fine, typical Starbucks style. Not much to say, it’s fine.
The drinks are, of course, excellent. My favorite is the Caramel Brule Latte. It’s seasonal though, so Christmas time only. Many of their others specialty drinks are great as well. Their standard coffee is just fine too.
Service is always polite, but can sometimes take ages. If it’s busy you can wait a long time for your drink. I think sometime around Christmas I waited 30 minutes. Mind blowing, but I wasn’t in a rush.
It’s good, it’s worth a visit, especially if you’re into that kinda’ thing.

Right on the lake in downtown Port Credit you’ll find this lovely Starbucks. It tends to be quite busy, sometimes with lineups stretching out to the doors. The staff moves things along at a good pace and they’re always friendly. One of the better Starbucks I have been to.

This Starbucks location is in the heart of Port Credit, right beside the landmark lighthouse. Being in prime location, it is one of the busier Starbucks’ in the Mississauga area. I was there last night for a coffee date and the place was packed at 8:30pm.
Service was still stellar like in true Starbucks fashion, friendly, prompt and hassle free. Luckily, I was able to find a spot outside on the patio.
It is a great location with pretty scenery day or night. Stop by if you are in the Port Credit area!
