Hudson Street

A bit about my review criteria, the coffee always tastes the same and the people working there are always courteous and helpful so that's not really my focus.
I am primarily interested on the environment and whether or not its a comfortable setting for hang out and get some work done. So again, a low rating don't mean that I was some how treated badly or my coffee tasted like mud.
This is the smallest Starbucks I have worked in so far, it is even smaller then the one on. There are no cushy couch or bench seating at this location. And despite its corner location there are only storefront window on one side so the view are more limited. Last thing is that this location is near several school and I was there in the late afternoon so there were a lot of kids coming in and out so it was some what distracting. I didn't really think that this was a factor but it was slightly annoying. On the positive side, if you sit at the window bar seats on the corner you have a nice view down the street and to the water front which is nice.

Greenwich Ave Starbucks

This is a small and cozy shop but it still manage to squeeze in two sofa and a soft bench seating with nice sight lines. There's quite a bit of street life to see out of the corner store front windows. The wifi works fine although I am beginning to think I need to find a work around for the 2 hour limit. The bathroom on the other hand feels likes it belong in a rest stop.

The Secret? Astor place Starbucks

May be because there is another bigger Starbucks right next door, but this Starbucks was not listed on Google map. Its a medium size shop only because of the outdoor seating which is packed during the summer. The shop is located in an old modernist building that interesting enough, predated the same open window design on most Starbucks. I liked this one quite a bit due to the eclectic clientele, open view all around and convenient location. Only down side is that some part of the shop gets a bit chilly due to all the uninsulated glass store fronts.

My first visit

This Starbucks is tuck in the middle of nowhere in a small mall. Medium size and with several comfy cushy couches offering a view of the parking lot and the apartment complex across the road. Every thing seemed a spaced out and some how don't seem to be very warm. Oh and they are closing shop so this one will be gone soon.

A 180 degree about face

I never liked Starbucks much, rather like Dunkin Donut's coffee better actually. But it is a convenient place to work and plus you can't help but love the free wifi. My opinion was also some what changed from hearing the author of How Starbucks Save My Life spoke on NPR Link
