Starbucks | 330 W Tremont Ave

Description: Seattle-based coffeehouse chain known for its signature roasts, light bites and WiFi availability.

Comments: There are book clubs that meet here and love the space. There's plenty of seating, and its top tier as far as Starbucks' go in terms of interior design. Access to outlets is excellent. There's a comfy booth style seating area, and some padded lounge chairs by the windows that are great for feeling nestled in. Then there's a bunch of individual seating tables, and a very cool mural created by @napoletanoart that makes it feel less corporate coffee shop and more local spot.

Parking isn't great, but it isn't terrible as far as South End goes. There's a free lot, but it's shared with other businesses, so at peak times it can get packed. But at least there's a free parking lot. That's a win just in and of itself. Not all Starbucks are created equal. This is one of the better ones.
