Starbucks

Sometimes you’re just there because there’s nowhere else to be. It’s a weird kind of solace, sitting with your thoughts and realizing that being somewhere can mean very little at all.

There’s something about this spot that feels just right—a comfy outdoor area, plenty of plugs for working, and speedy WiFi. The team is friendly too, making it a solid choice if you need to settle in for a bit.

I tried their black coffee, which isn’t really their specialty, and it didn’t do much for me. The place itself has a nice vibe though, but I doubt I’ll be coming back for another cup.

The staff here know their stuff and the coffee hits the spot every time, but man, those prices make you think twice. Plus, the seating isn’t exactly cozy, and the big windows could use a good wipe down.
