For the past 7 years, I've always gone to the other Starbucks in Bellevue (on Hwy 70 S by the 24hr Kroger) bc it's way closer to where I live & I usually prefer 2go inside 2order anyway, so their lack of a drive-thru makes little-to-no difference 2me. But, when that store closed down for a couple mos along with all the other in-store cafes in Nashville due to the spread of COVID-19, the Hwy 100 store bcame my only functionally reasonable choice since they since they were allowed to remain open for service solely via their drive-thru. In the mornings, during the ususl commute times, the drive-thru line can, &usually does, get incredibly &ridiculously long! It often will end up wrapping almost completely around the entire plaza bldg which it houses that Baristas are very friendly, helpful (if you aren't sure what you'd like to get, they'll give you great 55inks/flavors that you enjoy in general) &they're great@what they do. That's pretty much been par for the course @practically every single Starbucks I've ever been to, across ~12-15 different states over the past 10 years! (With regards to stand alone stores; I've had significantly less consistency & luck with the stores located within other stores, such as Targets & most...
Read moreIn this unassuming abode of fellowship and industry, I find a temple of modern conviviality—a Starbucks wherein the soul of the latte is revealed with an artistry that delights the senses and soothes the spirit. Here, amidst the hum of life and the aroma of roasted harmony, one sips not merely a beverage, but a draught of inspiration, a cordial to animate both heart and mind.
The latte, smooth as a brook that winds through sylvan glades, is a testament to the alchemy of simple elements transformed. Its creamy essence whispers of diligence and care, a harmony of milk and bean that warms even the chill of winter’s breath. Truly, it is a nectar for the seeker of solace or the pilgrim of thought, a perfect companion to both solitude and conversation.
And what of the stewards of this caffeinated haven? They are no mere baristas, but artisans of cheer and purpose, imbuing each creation with a joy that extends beyond the cup. Their service is swift yet thoughtful, their demeanor radiant as the morning sun. O traveler, tarry a while in this sanctuary of the everyday sublime. Partake of the latte, and be renewed. For in this humble shop, the eternal essence of simplicity and delight is brewed...
Read moreI’m truly neutral on this review. It really depends on what you want, so here it is:
The Starbucks has reopened after months of remodeling, so I had to check it out. Do you just want to order a coffee via an app and pick it up with drive-thru or counter, then this your place. Although you can order at counter still, their signage definitely expresses their preference for app ordering and pickup. Just a few benches for waiting. Baristas are out of site, so no interactions with the staff outside of the person working the counter. No counter for coffee condiments and napkins. NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS. This truly is now just a “to go” coffee space. Grab and go.
If you want to sit down and have a coffee and pastry with a friend or family, then you can’t do that here. (See The Well in...
