Starbucks

Visiting starbucks is always a warm delight! The service was very quick and efficient, as usual. I had a mixed berry juice and a banana nut bread and it was absolutely worth it! The nut bread was fresh and tasty. I look forward to more future visits :)

It’s a medium-​size Starbucks. The baristas are friendly and fast and it’s always clean. It opens promptly at the posted time (5:30AM) unlike some other locations.
Parking is limited though and during busy times the lot fills up. It’s also inconvenient if you’re heading out of town on Nicholasville Rd.

I think that the convenient, just off New Circle and Nicholasville Road location is what does it for this location. I mean, with at least two other local coffee shops within a couple of minutes from here, I’m surprised that this SB gets as much business. The fact that they have a drive thru and hot breakfast sandwiches helps too.
I’m not much of a coffee drinker and this was my second try at the green tea frapachino. This time I asked for vanilla and whipped cream to be added, but it tasted the same as the first time. There was a hint of vegetable or a leafy taste, a hint that I never taste in hot green tea. What is it? Well, I looked it up online and the website says «Our Matcha green tea is infused with subtle hints of tropical fruit flavors.» It tastes more like leafy spinach to me. In the meantime, I found out that it was over 450 calories! I won’t be doing that again.
I’m glad that someone else took charge in the breakfast sandwich ordering, because I would’ve never chosen the smoked Gouda sandwich, which I ended up highly enjoying. Its gooey warm cheese, went well with the warm bread and the flavors went perfect with the bacon. At 350 calories, it was worth every bit of the calories, the drink in the other hand wasn’t.
I won’t even mention the prices because you know what you’re getting into here. I feel bad for everyone who has a Starbucks habit.

It was the same as all the other Starbucks. Good. Fast. And in and out through the drive-​thru! I love my coffee so I’m always happy when they don’t mess it up!

The only starbucks I’ll go to after my richmond Rd trip! I usually go inside because I don’t have my «starbucks lingo «down yet so I don’t want to hold the drive thru up trying g to explain what my wife told me to get her lol. Plus they are always extremely nice and help me figure it out lol. So def recommend this location!

I hit the drive-​thru this time. My order was correct and completed quickly, and the lady who took my order was very friendly!
I’m addicted to the lemon pound cake.

I loved to grab a coffee and study here when I was a grad student at UK! The staff could be friendlier, but they were alright for the most part. I liked how they had the tables set up and people were always sweet to me offering to share their table or help me plug in my laptop. It was easier to come here and study then to drive all the way to UK Library. However, it was always really cold inside and the music was fairly loud. Other than that, it was a great place to hangout and get some studying done!

It’s starbucks…
It does have a drive through, which I greatly appreciate at times… It usually moves quickly.
Inside seating is not extensive, but adequate. It seems popular for morning meetings… For some reason on the days I was in, there were 5 pairs of women sitting in active/​deep conversation, plus one student doing homework. So with one empty table and one other male on the place, seating is 16 – 18 max.
My mocha was ok.
I would and will come back due to location… And maybe have my own business meeting!

Pretty good service the 8 times I visited.
If you’ve never been to a sbux where have you been living all these years?! Iced Cinnamon dolce latte with soy, no whip, cinnamon powder only. Plus a veggie sandwich. Good morning!!!
