Not the biggest space inside but there’s tons of parking available outside! Despite its size they’ve managed to squeeze in a fireplace. The warmth is much appreciated on the coldest winter days. However I have noticed the corners feeling extra cold as the 8pm early-close approaches. Baristas are friendly here — most customers are friendly right back. If you need to plug in you may be out of luck. The outlet count is minimal. Overall a good place to grab a coffee before a movie at the Lake Theater across the street.

Yes it is a Starbucks but it is not your typical location. No no no my friends this is where the beautiful people come to have coffee right after their power walk or their hot yoga or their morning squash match. Here is where the Weeds housewifes of the world collide. Its like a secret socitey bring your water bottle and your Iphone or they will recognize you as an outsider. A fellow customer seemed bothered that i say near him as he had set up his Star Office spreading out over two tables and four seats. Sorry i didnt know you had this area reserved for clients only. Lol. The snooty of the world have found their clubhouse it resides on State street. Come on in and be judged not by the coffee that you order but by the car you drive up in, the clothes you wear and the water bottle or cell phone you carry. People its a coffee house. Not your country club

No more venti/large waters allowed! I just spent $ 15 at this location and was told I could not have a large water. Apparently they don’t know how to order enough big cups and run out when people ask for water. The solution is, of course, to get two medium waters and a drink carrier.

I like the staff. They are always friendly, and my drinks are correct. It is just getting slower and slower. I was in there today for 15 minutes getting one drink.

Has got to be one of the slowest Starbucks ever! Seriously there will be one person making coffee drinks while 2 – 3 others stand around. Don’t take me wrong the staff is all very nice I just think it’s poorly run. There is always a line both ordering and waiting for drinks. Could be much more efficient. Just very slow. Again not slamming the staff they are all very nice.

Like any other starbucks– yum. I have to agree with others though, very limited space inside. Not somewhere you might want to hang out witg a group of girlfriends.

I have been to this café many times over the years, and prefer it in its previous more spacious form. It gets a lot of traffic, so is not really a place to read or linger unless you like high traffic places. They remember your name here now, which is the standard thing, but since I remember cafes in the 90s as being places where people would leave me alone from asking all about my personal life, my name, my weekend plans, where I am from, I find all the friendliness unnerving. I often think they don’t really think about the fact that someone in their 30s maybe doesn’t feel like chit chatting with a 19 year old as if we are good friends. After all, adults have different habits of mind, like sometimes we just think silently? Or maybe we have private lives that are mysterious. Or maybe we don’t like giving our first name. As a friend of mine says, «When I go to a café or restaurant, it is like a cloak of invisibility. I don’t go there for display.» I think perhaps in the old days, people understood that a dining or drinking experience was enhanced by simulated privacy, which is broached at the patron’s discretion, not the server’s. Who wants to be looked at and heard when having a private conversation, or started at while reading or studying? While you expect to be seen, you don’t expect to be «on display» unless– well, unless you are an adolescent. So my supposition is that this trend is the ultimate in the forced adolescence of our culture, when there is virtually no place you are not displaying yourself to your benefit or lack thereof every second you are not in your house, and you should have the roster of conversation topics and your first name open to every comer. When I was a child, the first name was for kids, and the grownups,(I am a grownup now) get to be called Mr. or Mrs. or some variation of that that is not a Christian first name. Sometimes they are too busy to chat you up though, which is a relief, and then they are just a cup of joe.

Typical Starbucks with typical Starbucks fare. Parking lot is difficult, but the Starbucks is clean and friendly.

It’s a Starbucks people. What can I say that might make this one stand out from any other Starbucks? Nothing. The staff is nice. There is free Wifi. They have a variety of seating both inside and out. They have parking. They serve one of America’s biggest addiction. I go to this Starbucks because it is midway between my house and one of my friends and we both hate driving to far when we can meet in the middle.

Pretty typical little Starbucks. I had to kill some time while the husband was in a job interview, so I popped in here for a coffee. There seemed like an adequate amount of seating; the seats are just tucked into corners a bit. The place was pretty packed for a Tuesday morning, but I didn’t have a problem snagging a table. Customer service was nice, nothing too special. I do wish the girl would have asked if I wanted room for cream in my coffee, but I guess that could be my bad for not specifying. I wouldn’t have a problem stopping here again if I happened to be in the area.

Very quiet for a Starbucks, which is great, however they only have four tables inside so space is definitely limited. Half the possible table space is taken up by merchandise displays.

Normally I only go to Starbucks as a «safety» but I like this one. Good espresso machine and eco-friendly barrista thanked me for bringing my own cup. Go here instead of the peets around the corner in Lake Oswego.
