Very improved on speed during morning rush hour. 7 baristas behind the counter all moving fast. Any wait at the bar for a drink is due to the volume.

Probably the fastest wifi amongst Chicago Starbucks locations. I also love the rustic look here.

Slowest Starbucks in Chicago. Look at everyone standing around for 20 minutes to get COFFEE! I'm going to Dunkin Donuts around the corner.

Table space is at a premium here. Don't expect to be able to spread out your laptop and books here during the day.

What they call a "Zebra Mocha" in California, here is called a "Tuxedo Mocha"! ;o)

Cashier seemed annoyed because I asked to use my coupon after I had scanned. I didn't know that was the procedure. Also there was a bug flying around in th pastry window.

After you wait hours for a coffee, you can go across the street to the methadone clinic to fix your jones!

Every Saturday morning, this is the SLOWEST Starbucks in town! Ugh.

The new workspace set up makes this Starbucks a weekend study hall.

I guess I'm the only person that likes the place. I could work all day from there. Admittedly seem to have a service issue today though.
