Starbucks

If you are dropping off your rental car or work in the adjacent office building, then this is your Starbucks. ☕ Located in the crook of the ✈ airport flyover on the 215, this Starbucks sits across the parking lot from a popular and busy office building. Pre-pandemic, it was a bustling place with office workers and locals getting a cuppa mixing with tourists on their way (usually home). It has a buzzy vibe. 🎈 The shop makes good use of the L-shaped space. There are cozy nooks for tete-a-tetes and long tables for public intermixing. A entire wall of windows allows natural light to shine in. It has great wall art. There are two wonderful photos of the coffee plantations that start this process. 🍃 I love the one showing the carefully cultivated rows of coffee plants. I've been to a coffee plantation in Costa Rica and it looks just like that. Glorious! Parking 🚗 could have been a problem since so many work in the office buildings. The real estate management company thoughtfully reserved parking spaces for the retail customers along Warm Springs Road. This Starbucks has TWO outdoor patios; they wrap around the store. Perfect during this pandemic. There's mature, lush desert landscaping (not an oxymoron) surrounding the office building side of the patio, so you almost feel like your sipping your coffee at its point of original. 🌜 There is no drive through, so you do have to go in. If you're on your way outta Dodge, this is a good place to stop to get ready for your plane ride. 🛫

Took time to visit today. They only had sugar free vanilla syrup, so purchased a skinny sugar-free vanilla latte. 😋 The outside of the building always interested me. There are several other businesses here too.

Great customer service. My little sister left her keys and they were nice enough to hold them for us. Thanks again.

No drive through, but short lines whenever I go weekdays around 7am. This location efficient and gets my order right every times.

Very large building in a great location but once you get inside, it's not a full size Starbucks to sit and relax. Baristas were friendly and accommodating. Our drinks were made perfectly. Can't ask for more...
