First time in this store since the remodel. A mistake was made with my drink and the barista graciously offered to remake my drink.

This review is about the atmosphere, not the quality of food or service. Everyone is always kind and things all taste great.

But like another recent review mentioned, this Starbucks has a severe lack of seating. I’ve lived here my whole life, this is my Starbucks. The remodel has left this place feeling like a corporate hellscape airport Starbucks. There are only two small tables to sit at, and the vibe is gone. No more merch. No more coffee beans on display. No more places to sit around others and work. It is simply a place to grab food and go. You couldn’t eat inside even if you wanted to. They sacrificed the ā€œcafeā€ for public bathrooms. Bathrooms for what? The two people who can sit there now? The people going through the drive thru? I don’t understand removing an entire cafe of seating for 2 bathrooms?

It’s just so obvious this was a terrible corporate decision to turn out as much product as possible. I hate to say, but it’s likely I’ll never come here again šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

I only like to pay for overpriced coffee if there’s a place I can enjoy it. Can’t justify a $6 latte if I’m basically shoved a handful of food/drink and shooed out the door.

And it’s not like sitting outside is an option. Even if I wanted to, there’s no outlet for my computer to work. And anyway, it’s too hot, and the corner of Bee Ridge and Beneva isn’t exactly a relaxing place to be.

Go a little farther down the road to Hashtag Cafe! They have plenty of seating, a family atmosphere, and a yarn shop! Sometimes they even give out free food and the good Wi-Fi if they know you’re working :)

Sorry, Starbucks. Wish it wasn’t like this šŸ’”

Starbucks continues to impress with its delicious drinks, friendly staff, and clean, inviting atmosphere. Whether it’s a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon treat, everything is consistently great—from the quality of the coffee to the overall customer experience.

However, the biggest downside is the severe lack of seating. At this particular location, due to a recent remodel, there are currently only two tables available, which makes it almost impossible to find a spot to sit and relax—especially during busy hours. It’s a shame because the ambiance is perfect for working, reading, or catching up with a friend, but there just isn’t enough room to do so.

If they were able to expand the seating area or add more tables, it would make a huge difference. Until then, it’s a fantastic place to grab your favorite drink—just don’t expect to hang around for long.

I feel most people get the same quality of beverages at any Starbucks. If you are just looking to order your coffee and leave... this is the place for you. However, if you are wanting to sit and study it is AWFUL!!!! They got rid of tables and expanded their back. You need a code to use the bathroom. It is very loud inside even with headphones one as you can constantly hear the drinks being made. The staff was friendly. The place was clean. If you are looking at a good study spot I'd suggest the one off Clark Rd. but not here.
