Starbucks & Starbucks Evenings

This is the fanciest Starbucks I've been in.

It's huge - no drivethru.  Friendly staff.  The coffee tastes better because of this.  We got a couple drinks and enjoyed them.

I did see wine and beer on the shelves.

It's huge.  A good assortment of seating.  You may want to make this place your next hangout.

This is nicer, large Starbucks in an upscale neighborhood.  In addition to normal Starbucks stuff (like your Venti half white mocha, half cafe vanilla, ez ice, with 2 shots pour appigato style-over the top-with whipped cream and caramel drizzle frappachino) they serve wine and small plates after 4pm, like my home town 'bucks in Calabasas.

Lots of parking.  Friendly staff.  Plenty of seats - tables and chairs, easy chairs, communal farm tables, with some outside seating, too.

This is pretty much the coolest Starbucks ever.  So much so that I actually reviewed a chain.  They serve real food after 4pm, and alcohol after ???... at some point in the day.  They have little fake candles all over and I love it so much!  The shopping center is located in perfect Stepford-suburbia so you forget that you live a half hour away from a necrotic city full of steel-plated roads and excellent city drivers who only turn right from the furthest lane to the left.
