So, this used to be a Pizza Hut forever, and they finally demolished it (long overdue) and built a Starbucks from the ground up. I was happy that they did this because the Starbucks in the village can be a pain to get to and the staff there isn't always nice. (they always seem to be stressed out and overwhelmed.)
Anyway, they have the usual fanfare here, but this one has a fabulous patio, a well stocked area with different cups and coffee along with a full staff. They also have bagels, small sandwiches and the like. There's plenty of seating available and wifi of course. They even have a drive thru! I've used both the lobby and the drive thru, and always had a pleasant experience.
The place is clean every time I'm here which is a bonus. The only downside is the parking. For starters, you can't make a left in here because they built the drive that way. So, if I'm coming from the west (Adams Road) to here, I have to either do a turn around at Livernois or I swing into Wendy's so I can go East to get in the driveway. Also, when you back out of the parking spots, should you go inside, you can't circle through the drive thru. You have to go out the same way you came in and only can basically go right. Kind of clustery, but it is what it is.
I love coming here for the location, convenience an the fact that I don't have to deal with the village if I just need a quick cup of coffee or want to hang out for a bit when the weather's nice. read more
