There Are Many Like it But This One Is Mine
Normally, I wouldn't write a review for a Starbucks (there are about 6-8 of them within a mile, two on the same street in fact) but this baby Starbucks seems to work very well for a tidy neighborhood hang. Unlike the mega Starbucks a quarter mile away, this one at Robertson and Santa Monica is never crowded because it is probably about the size of a large living room. The wifi works fast and the location is good, too, with street parking around both corners and sidewalk chairs on Santa Monica. Also, it's a lot quieter and without 'tude compared to some other nearby coffee shops.
