Review from Alain S.
Edmonton, AB
This is one of the better Starbucks around. It's busy and the area is nice also. It's conveniently located across the road from Grant MacEwan University which might make it a lot noisier and tough to find a seat once school is in session.
It's a pleasant, spacious location with a good array of indoor and outdoor seating.
I've never noticed the parking sign, but you can bet after getting a parking ticket at North Town Mall last week I am looking at the signs more closely. Unfortunately the lot here is managed by Diamond Parking as well. I have only begun to deal with that. Watch for my review of Diamond Parking and North Town Mall.
It should be obvious that you should keep an eye on your car for the parking Nazis. If you're going to be longer than two hours, you might want to find a better parking spot. I think I saw some free street parking.
Busyness - This is a pretty busy location. It's fairly close to downtown and just across from Grant MacEwan University. I would imagine that it gets even busier once school's back in.
Noisiness - There's a nice high ceiling that seems to absorb the noise reasonably well. The music isn't too loud either.
Ambience - I've been coming to this Starbucks for a couple of years and I've always liked it.
Power - It is available, but the window seats and tables in the centre have an issue. I'd bring an extension cord if you want to use some of the tables in the centre.
Free wifi - Available and works well. Being one of those people who keeps a number of tabs open, you might want to login with a browser which you don't use often, otherwise each page becomes a login page, oddly enough. (In Firefox Windows 7 at least.)
Staff - Always friendly and helpful. I've rarely had a complaint about a Starbucks employee.
Seating - There are 28 seats in this Starbucks, with four armchairs and two good sized tables for laying out a bit of work. I like the square tables they have here. They're at a nice height and are quite roomy, compared to the dinky round cafe tables I normally see at Starbucks. There are four or five tables outside on the spacious patio. It's also bordered by some hedges to give it a bit of privacy. I don't know if they ever use the patio heaters.
Security - When I first started coming to this location, there was a homeless camp in the empty lot nearby. It's gone now, but the Starbucks is close to downtown. Not too bad of an area but 107 Ave is close by. Take the usual precautions.Listed in: Starbucks Edmonton
