Starbucks

I was on a construction site near Marine Drive SW & Ontario Street, so visiting this Starbucks was a no-brainer.  Starbucks is great because it’s predictable, reliable, and everywhere.  Starbucks is so reliable that I don’t review all the Starbucks that I visit because it’s kind of redundant. This one was cool because it’s right beside a Canadian Tire and Mark’s Work Wearhouse.  For a construction worker, that’s like a dream come true.  The perfect combination of coffee and cool stores.  I think there’s actually a Best Buy at the end of the block, which is another good reason to come here. This Starbucks was on the smaller side, but it had all the usual amenities.  Good service, coffee, food, seating, wifi, etc.  I had a Tall Pike black coffee, with a bag of salted kettle potato chips.  The chips aren’t bad and more importantly, they're convenient when you need a snack to grab and go. Usually I go for a croissant but recently I’ve started a low gluten diet.  And potato chips are low in gluten.  Starbucks has healthier low gluten options but I needed something fast, easy, and predictable.  Convenience always wins in the end and Starbucks understands that.
