It’s a Starbucks so that’s two stars. One star for the big room, but I had a business convo here and it was LOUD. drinks are what they are, the parking situation($ 5 in the back lot means I had an $ 8 green tea – a steal!!!) is a nightmare, the room is fantastic relative to other Starbucks, and it’s SOLOUD I understand why I saw a lot of headphones while I was going out the door.

This is the best Starbucks that I have been to for doing school work. Other Starbucks have tables that are too small, at a bad height or not enough places to work. This Starbucks has lots of great work spaces(comfortable«lounging» chairs as well as tables with great access to power outlets.) The air conditioning is always on and it can get cold so bring a jacket if necessary. TLDR: great atmosphere for having a productive afternoon. Cold-blooded folks beware.

I’m not sure what my review of Starbucks will bring to anyone, since I feel like everyone knows everything that there is to know about Starbucks, but I would say that this location in particular is above most other Starbucks locations. First, expect your usual Starbucks items at expensive Starbucks prices just like you would anywhere else. Service here is also usually fast and friendly and I never ran into any particular problem here. What really sets this location apart is the fireplace in the middle around which you can sit during the cold winter months and the interior design. This location is usually full or almost full since a lot of students come here from universities nearby and particularly Vanderbilt University. Overall, my experience with this location is rather positive and I would recommend it if you are a fan of the brand and are looking for a nice location. Feel free to message me for any additional details that you may need!

Great location! Very well run. Even with a slight line, it moved quickly! On a hot July morning, the iced passion fruit treat was so refreshing. Seating area was ample. Even at 8 am, several folks in suits were busily working on laptops.

I’m not really one to typically review a Starbucks, but this place is a cut above they typical Starbucks. The drinks are the same of course, but being next to a university, the ambience here is really conducive to getting work done. There are ample tables, benches, and seats that invite you to stay to enjoy your drink or to get some work done. The people who longer tend to be students, and being around students always gives me a charge of energy, as if I were still of that age as well. I really like the layout of this place and wish more Starbucks made an effort to creat this type of environment.

These guys love me and I love them too! :-) I come here every weekend. This place is always packed(because it’s right across the street from a college). Feel free to chat with the staff when it’s chill. They’re all really cool! I also recommend the lemon loaf… Holy cow… So good!

What can be said about Starbucks that hasn’t already been said, right? Well, this particular location is super busy. The music is incredibly loud… and the patrons talk even louder so they can hear each other. Between the two, I don’t think I could ever take any important calls here. So why four stars, you ask? This is a fairly large Starbucks location with a great open layout. A cozy fireplace is located in the middle of the room and plenty of seating located throughout. Outlets are located every few feet along the wall. The baristas here make damn good drinks. And despite all that noise, I have found that my productivity is at a very high level with all the energy around.

Huge Starbucks with lots of seating and more outlets than I have ever seen. They even have a separate room with a long table for studying. It’s right next to Vanderbilt University, so I assume the student traffic here must be epic in season. The baristas are pleasant and pour a good cup. They’ve got a Clover machine too, if you’re interested in the thicker, richer taste of that brewing method. Overall, a great place to drink good coffee and work.

This is by far the best Starbucks ever. I used to think all Starbucks’ were the same, but this one is special! What makes this place great is the incredibly friendly staff. I frequented this location a ton during my 3 years of law school, and the baristas always brightened my day. I have never encountered a nicer staff at a coffee shop. The inside of the Starbucks also makes it great. There’s a fireplace and a ton of seating. The hours at this location are also a plus.

This was the first time going to this Starbucks and I have never recieved a poorly drink until today. I ordered a chai latte and my husband got a white chocolate mocha. As we drove away I opened my cup and saw my drink was barely filled ¾ of the cup not to mention most of it was foam. I decided to check my husband drink to see that his cup was only half filled and the remaining space was just whipped cream. I was seriously disappointed. If we weren’t already on our way back home to Clarksville I would have seriously asked for a refund because messing up a drink that bad twice isn’t worth trying to remake.

Being located right across the street from the business school and law school is definitely a blessing and a curse for this Starbucks. It is always always crowded. Which is good for business, but not so good if you want to get in and out quickly. Lots of seating, not a lot of parking. The barristas are friendly, if a bit frazzled.

A good Starbucks. The couple times I’ve been here the staff has been nice and got the orders right. Ambiance is nice too– it has a fireplace, some cushy couches, a couple computer bars and a study room. The pasty case is well stocked and everything is pretty clean

I think this location is better off for not having a drive thru. The inside is very echoey, so if there are a decent number of people inside it’s not a good place to have a conversation.

I’m sure you know the drill… frappacinos, food and what not. What sets this Starbucks apart that it has several great spaces to work. There’s a small off to the side room with a giant wooden table(my haunt), many overstuffed chairs, high tops and ample deck space. The parkinglot is cramped but I’ve never been hassled about moving my car even when I camp out for the morning doing work. There’s the added perk of the dude in the wheelchair who considers himself to be the personal valet for the lot directing you where to park and doing his thing for tips. As its right across the street from the business school, people here generally get that most folks are working on their computers so you won’t have many cell phone screamers in the place. Be sure you get yourself a rechargable Starbucks card so you can pile on those free refills.

Parking is a headache but the interior of this Starbucks is large, with an array of tables, workstations, bar seating, and couches. You’ll find lots of college students studying here, so it’s a good place to be productive. One of the better Starbucks locations I’ve been to!

OK. I really really wanted some coffee this morning. Since they don’t have drive thru, I illegally parked(parking lot was PACKED) and bolted to the door from a good distance away only to find that the line was almost out the door. I don’t care how fast they are, there was no way I was getting out of there in 10 minutes, it probably was going to be longer. Keep in mind, this is after 9am on a Tuesday. Not convenient and always a struggle for parking. Can they PLEASE figure out a better situation?! You let me uncaffeinated Starbucks!

What can I say? This is Starbucks! Unfortunately it’s next to my other favorite place to get a smooth and rich ice cold frozen coffee, so I have to choose. Cons: The parking is REALLY tight and is always busy with being in the middle of Vanderbilt University and Medical /Hospital. Even though the line is long, I get through very quick. Finding a seat isn’t always easy, but this is the largest Starbucks I’ve ever been to. It does take more time to find where to park than it does to walk in and get my coffee, but it’s worth it. Definitely keeps busy with its location, unfortunately its location that keeps it busy and crowded. I’ll keep coming back for more coffee here.

This Starbucks is huge. Given that it’s near a university, this makes sense. There are plenty of bar-height chairs & tables, as well as some big chairs to lounge. The entrance can be tricky though because there really is only one way in(hard to see). There’s a parking lot behind the Starbucks, and as I was getting ready to leave, I wondered if I was supposed to pay for parking. Vanderbilt police made a run-through the parking lot, which is good if you’re worried about security, as there was a wheelchaired homeless man greeting people. My short, toffee nut mocha was made correctly. Add a butter croissant and a bottle of water, and my bill was a little less than $ 8 using the Starbucks gold card. I had to reload my card, so this took slightly longer, and my drink was given to me at the cash register during the transaction. The four stars are for speediness and a correctly-made custom drink. I would definitely return here.

This was the largest Starbucks I’ve seen in Nashville. It has a barstool area, table area, small conference room and an outside porch. Service was on par with other Starbucks, meaning it was efficient and friendly. It was cool but not cold and felt great after being outside in the sweltering summer heat. Go Starbucks!
