It's always a pleasure here for my Starbucks getaway.The coffee here is excellent, and they have 32oz cups of iced coffee, and THAT'S a huge plus.Basic iced coffee at 32oz isn't too pricey, but getting into the more fancy cold brews will be a little extra.My personal favorite is a 32oz Midnight Mocha Cold Brew Latte.Starbucks has nothing to match it.At least not yet they don't.The location is excellent in a very good, clean part of town and ideal because of the many surrounding perks & businesses.This particular location is always clean, the service is great, and the coffee is excellent.Parking: Parking is plenty in the early AM, but more full in the afternoon.However, it's a huge parking space serving many businesses.

Drinks should not be made in less than 30 seconds and then give me a drink worth throwing in the trash nothing peppermint in your peppermint Mocha gave me a plain black and white coffee charging me $6 for a medium cup shameful. Had to spill it in the grass right outside.

I used to go to this location almost everyday to enjoy some coffee and get some work done, however for the past few month their wifi is always down. When I speak to any of the staff members, I only get one response "we can't do anything about it" which is not true. I would've appreciated a better response than being so nonchalant about it. It's been a while and it's still not fixed.

Paid for a matcha iced latte with pumpkin syrup and two shots of espresso and I got just a pumpkin latte.. barista acknowledged to other barista that he didn’t put the matcha in and then just gave it to me anyway. So I’m drinking a pumpkin latte that I overpaid for. It’s good tasting tho and the girl taking my order was very nice. Boyfriend said the drink I got for him was meh and said next time let’s just go to Starbucks please.

I LOVE Coffee Bean (despite the recent lack of variety of teas). However, this review is not for the drinks, but just this location. I was so happy with my late afternoon stop. Nice calm music; not too elevator-y; FRIENDLY employees, clean space with plenty of plugs. It felt cozy (despite the awful new orange design choice inflicted by corporate- who made that horrible decision?!????).Definitely will come back when I'm in the area.

I'm a big tea drinker. Been living out of state for years. Haven't been to one of these in 10 years. This store is very nice. Lots of parking and seating inside and out. I don't see a drive through. Not a problem for me.Love my tea lattes. And I remember something called Tropical... it's not on the board menu. Only two tea lattes listed. I was shocked and glad I asked. I was given a card with numerous teas. Found it! Tropical Passion. Just as good as I remembered it.The breakfast sandwiches are wrapped in a refrigerator as you walk in. Nothing appealed to me, so again I asked and she had several in a mini fridge behind her. Found one I liked. Yay! Only thing missing is a little spice, maybe a salsa. Not sure they have any behind the counter.All in all very much enjoyed my breakfast. Highly recommend!

Fourth time I’ve been here over the course of a few months where there has been no WiFi. Each time I come backing thinking, “it must be fixed by now.” Drinking coffee and working in a new public space is the whole point of coffee shops for me, so a lack of WiFi is a deal-breaker. No longer taking chances on this location.

The service was amazing. This was my first time ever trying coffee, bean and tea leaf. The lovely cashier was a great help and was patient with me. I will be back again.

This is my least favorite of all the locations I have been to, but it gets the job done. First off, it's super tiny and in a business plaza... it really caters to them and not people driving by who want a quick drink.Getting into the parking lot from the streets was challenging as it's situated on a very busy intersection. Then, the parking lot itself is cramped and full of people who like to drive in the centers and not on their own side. The drinks are consistent with other locations. Service was fast and employees were polite. When I come back, I'll just park at my mom's and walk over. It's easier than dealing with the street traffic and poor driving by people in the lot. Short and sweet so, no 'pros' or 'cons' section.

They had, at this location, the white chocolate for my order. I can't believe CBTL will discontinue selling this. So wrong, and they need to reconsider this move. Get rid of if the dark chocolate, but not the white chocolate. I love my white chocolate dream latte with almond milk with chocolate drizzle and whip cream on top. I b uy it xxtra hot, and I've had it cold too, yummy yum yummers? Stop by with friends we sat in the patio area.
