I finally got a chance to visit my first coffee shop today! Narrowing down the first one to go to was fairly easy, it was the Gold Coast Starbucks naturally. Due to my gold member status (which I in no way, shape, or form need to have) I had a free drink waiting for me, so I made my way all the way down to Rush street.
I walk in, and awkwardly stand there for a bit, because I'm not sure if the people standing around are in line, or waiting for their drinks. So after a couple of minutes of that confusion, I make my way to a register and tell the barista my whole life story about how I have a free drink and I want to try something new. She quickly sees the panic in my eyes, because I have no idea what new item I want to try, and suggests a flat white with vanilla syrup. Literally at that point, she could have suggested coal to me, and I would have been with it. Have you ever looked at the menu at Starbucks? I felt like there were a million drinks on there. Honestly though, I think their menu is more extensive, because they do serve alcohol there and small plates of delicious food, like cheese.
So, I get my flat white with vanilla, and it is delicious! I go upstairs, (yes, upstairs! This Starbucks has two floors, it's super fancy) into this beautiful open space, with natural sunlight pouring in from the glass windows in the front, and to my dismay, all the tables are taken. Silly me, thinking I could get a table at a two floor Starbucks at one in the afternoon. My poor little journal and book I brought to read did not get any use today. But I really did enjoy the layout of this Starbucks and would come back at a better time and sit for hours.
