Old Town Starbucks


Old Town Starbucks

What can I say? This is my 5th Starbucks since I’ve started this project. Sometimes I just need a quick new place that doesn’t require much research or many photos. Since most of us know what a Starbucks looks like, there is only an inside and outside shot. This particular Starbucks is located at 2112 North 30th Street Tacoma, WA 98403 in the Old Town area of Tacoma. It is pretty much a typical Starbucks, clean, friendly, reliable. The space is larger than I expected with a large room in the back. There is outside seating.

Starbucks, always reliable

Today’s new place is the Starbucks at the corner of Sixth and Pine (601 Pine Street, Tacoma). It looked much like all the other Starbucks, warm and comfortable. The service was friendly and fast and the coffee especially good for some reason. The breakfast roll was warmed and very delicious. There is a reason that Starbucks has a following.

Update 2/2015 This location has closed, which surprises me since it was always busy when I went.

 

Burger King morphs into Starbucks

 

 Today I went to Pacific Lutheran University (PLU), but all the coffee shops and bookstores were closed for the new year holiday.  I needed a book, so I veered off to the Lakewood Barnes and Noble, but I couldn’t count that as a new place.  On the way I went past a yet unrecorded Starbucks.  Good old Starbucks.  This one use to be a Burger King and you can tell by looking at it.  The worker said that Starbucks had been there for about 6 to 7 years and they had originally thought about making a loft area where the burger places’ play area had been.  But in the end they went with the tall ceiling instead.  Starbucks only has half of the building and the rest is available for lease.

Starbuck’s Drive Thru

 

This Starbucks is the new place of the day for 9/25/10. Since I can’t think of anything to say about another Starbucks, I’m including as a bonus feature a photo of my dogs! Enjoy!

Covington Starbucks

Today’s new place (9/4/10 is the Starbucks in Covington. We made a quick stop for a coffee drink and snack. I already had the Barista Badge on FourSquare (http://foursquare.com) which is awarded for going to five different Starbucks. Really, I don’t go everyday, but I do like to stop when I’m out and about.

Wikipedia tells me there are over 17,000 Starbucks worldwide with over 11,000 in America. The first Starbucks opened in Seattle.WA.
