Starbucks

"Great place to sit and work for a little while while enjoying coffee and a treat."

"Always pretty quick and their employees are polite. I enjoy that I can get something other than coffee too if that's not what I'm feeling and they are willing to work with you if you want something special."

"One of the best kept Starbucks in the quad cities. Friendly and quick with your orders inside, so sometimes I pass up the line and go inside. Love the coffee and my daughter has switched it up to matcha at this time. There's mugs and coffee cups and you are encouraged to reuse and reduce."

"I'm not a huge fan of Starbucks. I don't dislike the chain, I'm just not a huge coffee drinker either and would rather go to a more local cafe given the option. I hadn't, however, visited this Starbucks on Middle Road ever, even though I live literally two blocks from the location. After a quiet Friday meal out near the TBK Bank Sports Complex, I decided to stop in for a quick after dinner treat. There's not much to really say about this particular Starbucks that can't be said about other franchise locations - the space is open, clean, and offers the same food and drink options as any other Starbucks. In keeping with other modern architectural trends, there is no drop ceiling, leaving the wood supports, conduit, and HVAC ductwork exposed. As with other reviews I've written, this isn't a criticism. Between the extra space in the overhead and the soft accent lighting throughout, the dining area was quite cozy. For this visit, I opted to get a hot chocolate and package of dark chocolate covered grahams. The hot chocolate was ready within an expected period of time and I soon took a seat in one of the yellow faux leather chairs in the corner of the space. If you've had Starbucks hot chocolate, you know there's not much more for me to say about it here. It was hot chocolate with a little cream and chocolate syrup on top, the drink itself likely prepared from a powdered mix. Nothing bad about that - I bought a big container of Starbucks hot cocoa mix at Costco last year and routinely enjoy it at home. Two further things of mention about this space, one positive and the other just a little weird. On the positive side, two of the walls for the cafe space are almost entirely made up of windows. I imagine this would be quite nice during the light hours and summer months. The weird thing I find worth mentioning is also related to these windows, however. As I was glancing about the space, I noticed that along the windowed walls that many of the 120 VAC outlets are located about 10 feet from the ground above the windows. Nothing really wrong with this, but I wouldn't plan on coming back to do any work on my laptop here as there were only two outlets available at ground level. To conclude a review that is going a bit long, I can confidently say this is a Starbucks and my experience during this visit tracks with past experiences at other Starbucks locations. Don't overthink this review or others on Google - it is a Starbucks. It is clean, they serve the beverages quickly, and it is a nice looking space."
