Now, when I heard a Starbucks was going to be built on our UTHSCSA campus, I was mostly happy because I love Starbucks, I go there as often as I can. But I was also slightly disappointed because I knew I would probably spend a majority of paycheck here too. ;)
The closest Starbucks to the UTHSCSA is the one at Medical/Wurzbach. Anyone who lives or works here knows that, that Starbucks is a freaking nightmare, especially the drive-thru, in the mornings before everyone goes to work and school. I rarely ever went to Starbucks, only if I left work early when I knew it wouldn't be packed. So, when I found out a Starbucks would be built only a few steps away from my office, I have to say I was over the moon.
This Starbucks isn't like all the rest of them. There is no sitting area specificially designated FOR starbucks. There is sitting areas around, but those are for people eating lunch/studying/etc... as Amy Y posted before me, most of the hot sandwiches and breakfast dishes are served just like at other Starbucks, but there is no lunch items, like cheese platters, cold sandwiches, etc.
All-in-all, this Starbucks is my favorite, but then again I'm not one to sit around and drink my coffee there, I usually take it and go. The ladies are always welcoming and friendly. It's kind of embarassing because I've gone there so much that they know what I have to drink. :/ It's never really busy because it's not in a spot where you can mingle around it, which I really enjoy. read more
