Starbucks - Champaign

Not your typical Charbucks. This one has much better quality espresso and milk. My Latte tastes way better here, and you can smell the awesome coffee scent as you enter the bookstore. I typically avoid other Charbucks stores in town, because they use cheap, burned coffee beans, and prefer to come to this one.

This was a nice change from my regular Starbucks. Located right in the middle of the campus bookstore, I found this location to be energetic and efficient. Also very spacious with plenty of room to work and relax for a bit before stepping back out into the cold.

Consistently one of the worst Starbucks I have ever been to. I think I have had a decent drink there maybe three times in the 7 months I've been visiting the location (you'd think I'd have learned by now, but I keep being optimistic).

It's interesting how their drinks are significantly better than those at other cafes I've visited. The baristas are also extremely attentive.

During my time as a student, they had a "name of the day" board where you could get a free drink if your name was chosen.
