Starbucks - Boston

Starbucks is an institution when it comes to coffee shops. Consistent taste, knowledgeable staff, efficient in their service to the client, the atmosphere is comfortable for a Parent and child to enjoy some rime together as much as a casual business meeting as much as a coffee with a date. This is a coffee shop and there is no feeling that you must get your coffee and get out. And that's why I look for Starbucks where ever I travel

A tiny express version of the Starbucks we all know and love. There are only a couple of seats with little in the way of ambiance-this is not the place to play with your computer, lounge around for hours or hold informal meetings. But if you want to grab your coffee order, grab something cold for lunch (no grill or panini press) and get out in 3 minutes, this is the place. The staff is friendly and efficient, and will remember your order if you come back.

With respect to coffee houses, Starbucks is always the best. My Starbucks experiences are nearly flawless irrespective of where my travels take me. This specific Starbucks in Boston was super small but very efficient. In addition, my coffee is always the same good Beautiful cup.

I have been around the world and I don't even live in Boston but I keep coming back to this tiny Starbucks on Charles Street any time I visit the city. It is tiny and generally only suitable for passers-thru but if you are lucky enough to score one of the 6 seats along the window, take a minute to collect your thoughts, drink your coffee and take in the charm of Beacon Hill. There are no restrooms here but there are some available down the street at the much larger Starbucks at the corner of Beacon St. Come here for the charm and the coffee.

You might wonder why there are 2 starbucks within 300 yards of each other. This one is built for speed. The other one is built for comfort. (Hanging out which is less of a thing in covad times.
