I've been to this particular Starbucks a few times now, but only been checking in to my yelp app just recently. Imagine that. Like most Starbucks here in Hawaii and around the globe, you can find your favorite drinks and coffees, while hanging out doing homework or simply read a book!
I've always loved Starbucks, especially for the general ambiance of it being somewhere to go to just hang out and they play music here. It's like a mixture of a lounge, coffee shop, and a library that just is a favorite meet up place for those who love Starbucks, it's coffee, frappuchinos, and other assorted drinks. While I stopped drinking actual coffee back in December 2012, I'll still come to Starbucks to have their iced teas and ice tea lemonades, among other drinks. My favorite flavors are green tea and the black teas. I also indulge in the frappuchinos as much as I should. Favorites include double chocolate chip frappuchino and strawberries and creme frappuchino, but I'm guessing that they're not currently available anymore. They once were back in the early 2010's and it was a good time to have a frappuchino. These days, I'm more health conscious than ever before, but still can't resist an occasional frappuchino once in a while to get the edge off. The overall experience here at Starbucks is well worth it. I can kill a good half of the day sitting here and working (aka writing yelp reviews or writing my on and off first novel). It's nice that Starbucks has free fast and reliable wifi and it's generally air conditioned.
Starbucks is my go to place when I want to hang out, no matter which location I go to. This Mililani town center location isn't any different. It's the same anywhere you go. Same decor, same great customer service, and just the ambiance of being like smooth jazz that keeps me coming back for their good drinks and occasional snacks. While libraries are great, they don't have fast wifi, lol. This particular Starbucks location is located conveniently at the Mililani Town Center at 95-1249 Meheula Parkway in Mililani town. It's next to the Consolidated theaters Mililani 14 Plex, so you can see a movie after getting your daily fix here at Starbucks or whenever you need a break from studying. They take credit cards, so that's always a good thing. The prices here are pretty good, as far as consistency in all Starbucks - at least those locations in Hawaii. Probably cheaper than a trenta size on the mainland USA. $3.25 for that but a venti frappuchino can set you back a good $6.25 if you are not careful. They have seasonal deals too.
The service here is often nice and very professional. I have always expected nothing but the very best from the staff here at Starbucks, either here or elsewhere on the island. The coffee shop is very clean and I'm glad that they don't kick anybody out for just sitting around and working diligently at a table without having to buy anything. Whether it's is using their Wi-Fi or just chilling out, you're pretty cool to stay there. There is plenty of outlets to charge our mobile devices, which is also really a lifesaver to a lot of people who are dependent on these things. For what's it's worth, spotting a Starbucks on the road is very economical and definitely something to consider when you're traveling or just out and about. It's great place to just hang out and do whatever, except sleeping. Wow Starbucks drinks and other assorted desserts can be pricey, once in a while is definitely OK on the pocketbook and your stomach. I need to tell myself that.
4.0 stars for the food and drinks. 4.5 stars for the ambience and great Wi-Fi service. 4.5 stars for just the general overall excellence. Can't go wrong with Starbucks! Is pretty much my home away from home, he that here in Mililani or other Starbucks locations Statewide in Hawaii, and around the world.
