Hard to believe I spent about 5 1/2 hours of my vacation (out of 2 consecutive days. 4 total days)…read moreto Billings hitting up this Starbucks on Grand Avenue, but it's true.
I guess for me, Starbucks represents downtime and a chance to destress and relax from the outside world. I also use Starbucks as a means to help me get inspired to write reviews on yelp, even during downtimes during aforementioned vacation, just so the pending yelp reviews doesn't start stacking up and need to find the time in the real world post vacation. You know what I am talking about! I also enjoy Starbucks drinks whenever I come here and am thankful that Starbucks has free, speedy, and reliable wifi at each of their locations nationwide. At this location though here in Billings, MT, I did enjoy the fact that this Starbucks location facility is quite large, plenty of seats and chairs for everyone. I don't know whether or not this place has enough outlets to charge devices, but I did see some people charge their devices while I was there. I did feel like the ambiance of Starbucks did enhance the mood that was conductive to writing and other academic things.
During my Starbucks experience here in Billings, MT, you can see people studying for school, working, or just doing their own thing. That's what I love about being at Starbucks. It's like your own personal oasis and quiet time, as the ambiance and atmosphere of Starbucks is basically like a community library, but you are not in one. This Starbucks location is centrality located at 900 Grand Avenue in the heart of Billings, MT. Like all Starbucks locations, they accept major credit cards, which is always a good thing., as well as cash too. They also have the Starbucks app for your mobile device and you can load credits on the account, so you don't need to bring your wallet each time. This Starbucks has a private parking lot and also a drive thru, so that's pretty cool. Parking is plentiful here, so do yourself a favor and come here to relax and enjoy that ambiance that Starbucks is known for.
My usual go to drink of choice is usually the trenta iced green or black tea whenever I go to Starbucks anywhere. On this visit, I had the trenta black tea lemonade and even tried the white tea lemonade, just because I saw it on the menu and was interested in trying that. I was told that I was a mixture of the green and black tea lemonades. The outcome was that it tasted pretty good, although the green tea seemed to be the dominant color. On this visit here to Starbucks, I also had a couple of pastries as well, while working / writing on these reviews for yelp. My favorite go-to would have to be the scone, danish, or the muffin. It would definitely depend on availability. This Starbucks location also sports a gender neural restroom, so you could stay here for hours on end working and that would be okay. The service at this Starbucks was good as usual. Friendly staff makes Starbucks always a delight to come back daily after day. You usually get your drink 2-3 minutes after putting in your order, which is good.
4.0 stars for the overall experience. 5.0 stars for the free wifi. While the prices here can be a burn on the wallet, just having that space to work and hang out, whether you buy or don't buy, is always a nice. It's a guilt free thing.
