The mermaid beckons, a beacon in the early morning light. I no more need to describe a Starbucks than I need to tell you what McDonald's is like. All locations feature polished floors, earthtone fixtures and furniture, cases of snacks and treats, and the latest edition, a tasteful selection of CDs from a variety of artists.
They serve coffee
I rarely drink coffee or coffee related drinks, but when I need one there's always a Starbucks nearby. This location runs an efficient drive thru, but lacks any other noteworthy features. The inside is exactly what you would expect and the outdoor seating are is small and very near a major intersection.
