In these later days of CoffeeRatings.com, it's much more difficult for us to stomach a visit to yet another Starbucks. This one fits the mold, although it's a bit small for a downtown café. It has tall ceilings, limited window seating, and a lone sofa with two café tables. And of course they promote the crap out of new Norah Jones and Andrea Bocelli CDs. Using dual Mastrena machines, they produce Starbucks-pedestrian shots of espresso with thinning, pale crema. It has a tepid pepper flavor with a touch of smoky ash. However, this location can be extremely erratic: occasionally they serve a run of drinks that coworkers have said "tastes like ass". Spin that roulette wheel here, if you dare.
