Wow. This place is amazing. It is HUGE. There is plenty of seating without being all squished together. There are many larger tables perfect for when you have a project or group work that needs done. The place is super clean. I do wish they had a few more of the large soft chairs... But not a big deal. They have some outdoor seating. There are many plugs around for the laptop crowd. They are open to 10 except Sunday. This place is newer and I hope will be the one that sets the bar. Yes I get for the Starbucks haters they will roll their eyes and probably hate the fact they are getting bigger and closer together. But for me I just need a place to help pass the hours. I am in disability and am always looking for ways to pass hours without breaking my already skinny wallet. This place gets my vote! Btw they also have the Google internet that is a huge leap above the old AT&T connection.

The only free standing Starbucks in the area. Large seating area, plenty of parking.

Slow.... Well they did just open so maybe the staff is fres, er, new too. Our order - Venti Hot Chai Tea Latte and a Grande Iced Mocha. Chai didn't take too long but the Mocha was finally served after the Chai, two drive through customers and two or three customers ordering inside the store. Hmmm. Nice if they could get both out at the same time. Atmosphere is roomy, open and dark. I think it is really nice and appealing. Maybe the expansive size of this location will mean quicker drive thru service. Maybe, eventually, it will pick up inside too. I foresee it will soon become the hangout for students from Corona and the nearby schools. Good for business, sure, but I just get the impression that it will soon resemble the malls. I'll probably keep with the other location North of here.

I love the associates who work here. They are always swamped, but they're still friendly; they say hi when you walk in the door, ask how you are, ect. This is a very busy location and a really fun place to people watch if you've got some time in the morning. My only complaint is the parking, some days the drive thru line gets so long it blocks in the cars sparked in the parking lot. I think parking and going in is faster than driving thru so I try and park a little ways away (near the Italian restraint) to avoid this.

I've been here once to this exact location when it was a Wendy's - for morning biscuits and sausage and some sludge that they called coffee. I tried it and ACK! Ended up pouring it out on the sidewalk in memory of the tastebud and synapse homies that died from the shock of that horrid flavor. I poured out more of that liquid diarrhea onto the sidewalk and prayed to the Goddess Caffeina that an actual Starbucks will one day rise up in the spot that the unworthy breakfast food and drink wannabe had inhabited. About a year later, my prayers had been answered - an actual Starbucks sure enough did replace Wendy's. Yeah!!!!! Opened pretty recently - I love what they did to the interior - nice wood panelling and the layout blows away what Wendy's had. Wendy's had the kitchen at the south end of the building. This new Starbucks has the cashiers and barristas at the southwest end. Service is as quick and easy as pretty much any Starbucks. They kept the drive-thru though so that's a plus. If you're gonna hang out with your laptop here long term, the southwestern most tables that are against a wall as opposed to a window view both have two outlets right underneath them. Lots of parking in this mall where Basha's is the anchor and there is lots of vacant retail space just waiting to be snatched up.

So far I've been here at least 15 times. Doesn't matter if I order an easy drink like tea or regular brewed coffee, or something special like one of their Reserve blends on the Clover, the service is fast, friendly, and attentive. I was here probably the first weekend they opened, and then also in the early morning, afternoon, weekends, and weekdays with no problems. The space is lovely, with plug-ins and seating for everyone. I know Starbucks employees are known for their friendliness, but I cannot stress enough how friendly they are here, regardless of how early it is. The staff is competent as well. A great thing about this location too, is that it's not nearly as crowded or as hectic as the other two locations closest to here. Personally, I think this location is the best of South Tempe.
