    The staff is always friendly and quick with your order, even when it's very busy. Great variety of places to sit and work!

    If you are in a van and everyone wants a frap... Don't go through the drive-thru. Or, if you do... Pay it forward and buy the next car's drink since you were too lazy to get out!

    Get a Starbucks card. After 5 drinks, syrups and soy are free forever (and brewed coffee refills too). Free drinks on birthdays, and more.

    Tip for corporate: expand the staff and/or building to accommodate the vast volume of morning traffic you receive. The drive thru blocks traffic.

    If you're here a lot, register a gift card and refill it to get perks like free syrups and soymilk.

    Cheap alternative to latte: an "americano." They use water instead of milk, but you can add your own milk later. Add syrups too.

    Get a "red eye" coffee with one shot of Espresso. Or a "black eye", 2 shots. :) you've come this far, might as well go for it!

    For a cheaper latte (or mocha), order it as a "misto" instead. They'll use brewed coffee instead of espresso, which is much cheaper.

    When the drive-thru line is too long, you can actually park your car and go in to get your coffee instead of blocking traffic like a dolt.

    Service is now hit or miss. Long line this morning inside, one register open, and a couple employees just standing around looking like they didn't know what to do. Not good about hustling when busy.

    Instead of ordering two tall fraps, order one venti and ask them to put it in two cups. Cheaper price, but same about of drink
