Coffer flavors wafting all around the book shelves and reading area in this neat and orderly place makes the Starbucks presence here worth it .

A really amazing Starbucks. Very nice and staff is amazing. Only issue is that since the location is near a University it is buzzing and packed a lot. However even with the people wait time isn't long. Really good service and most importantly LGBTQIA+ friendly!...Read More

This Starbucks is in Target. The employees were very friendly! However, unless you have a Target Card for a discount you’re paying full price. You’re unable to use your Starbucks card so no rewards here; however, the drink was Fantabulous!! More
