Starbucks
109 Town Centre Drive, Johnstown (814-262-0823)
You know you’re in Starbucks when you walk in and smell freshly ground coffee beans; or maybe it’s the view of the cups stacked alongside the register with the green, twin-tailed mermaid imprint wrapped around them that takes the cake? Either way, Starbucks sets the bar with their delicious, chocolatey, creamy and steamy lattes, and their cool, refreshing Tazo iced tea lemonades and shakers that give the perfect burst of flavor.
“Hello, what can I get for you today?” the baristas ask, ready to whip up sweet concoctions as exact and swiftly as possible. Always putting the customer first, Starbucks offers the choice of chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, and cinnamon dolce shakers that give the opportunity to spice-up your drink to your personal preference, and you wouldn’t dare to think about leaving without unfolding a recyclable, cardboard sleeve around your cup.
As the waves of coffee addicts come and go—some with smiles, some too serious to lighten up, and some stressed out of their minds—they all have one thing in common: Starbucks. Whether it’s early in the morning or late at night, Starbucks is up and running, delivering unlimited customer service, and unlimited coffee quality. It’s the one-stop-shop on your way home, to work, or to class, that caters to your every need with snacks, drinks, newspapers, mugs, and bagged coffee beans to go. The sound of milk steaming overtakes the stress, and the dimmed lighting helps calm the nerves. With plenty of places to sit, Wi-Fi to connect to, and snacks to indulge in, you’ll never want to leave.
