Starbucks II

In case you haven't passed it, Starbucks II on CR 210 is now open. This is the location right by I95 on the west side of I95. I'm calling it II as the original one is back west a mile or so. So far there haven't been any major impacts to traffic with them opening this new location. But we are right before the holidays and I'm sure that traffic is a little lighter than normal and many people probably didn't realize that this location opened.

I haven't stopped there yet - and probably won't for a while. Like many new stand alone Starbucks, this location offers a drive through so you won't have to get out of your car for that Double Skinny Espresso Latte - whatever that is. What ever happened to coffee with cream and sugar? Man I must be getting old!

The unique feature about this location is that the drive thru will be open 24hrs a day. So you can get your coffee oops, I meant latte at any time you want. 2am and feeling thirsty for that Frap, now head on down the road.

I really see this as a bonus for those people that heading down the highway and see the 24hr sign for Starbucks. I imagine a lot of people will pull off only to get confused as how you actually can get to it without having to make a U-turn.

Perhaps on my drive home tonight I will stop for that eggnog latte. All I have to do is get of I95, get into the left lane and make a U-turn. Go through the drive thru, get out and head east and make a U-turn at the truck stops to head back home. Sounds like fun. Hopefully I won't get run over as I make the U-turns while sipping my coffee and yapping on my cell phone. (Sorry, I plunge into another annoying habit of so many people these days.)

Thanks for reading and don't cut me off coming out of Starbucks II!
