We all need a cup of overpriced coffee at times. The barastias are courteous and helpful. My main complaint is that flavor can vary each time depending upon their methods. I always enjoy a good mocha frape, just wish that it was consistent.

I dislike their hot coffee but the cold brew is great. I'm rating the employees not Starbucks, though. And the employees are fantastic.
