I've been cautiously jumping back on the Starbucks bandwagon for the past several months. I see things that I like. So when in Richmond and ran across a new store with a non traditional chain look I had to try and then returned during the same trip several times.
The business is located in the River Bend strip in Chester, Va. it's around 2.5 miles from I95. The shop gives off a country store vibe, I was digging it. Clean lot with plenty of parking and a drive-thru.
I had the time to go inside and view the interior on my first visit and order a small black blonde. A really great space that's totally different than a run of the mill Starbucks. Great counter service that was friendly and efficient. I like the electronic ordering board. Although I did not order a pastry the case was full and looked appealing. On other visits I had strong drive-thru experience.
The shop was clean, even the restroom sparkled. The only hiccup was dirty dishes never picked up at the bussing station the 45 minutes I was there. Also a bonus not previously mention is an outdoor patio.
I've enjoyed my visits and will be back. read more
