Can't really complain. Staff is always pretty nice and hooks me up with the large black coffee. Good place to chill and do some homework and distract your girlfriend from doing homework. Pretty solid Starbs if you ask me man

I really like this Starbucks. It's cozy, staff super chill. They even waited on me while I was at my table doing paper work! After I was done with my drink, they came over and gave me a water and threw my trash away.

One of only two drive-thru Starbucks locations in Lake Oswego. The city does not allow new drive-thru's for businesses. This location is great because they have a large indoor space great with plenty of seating for individuals who want to work or read as well as tables for groups to gather. Be aware that the drive-thru line can back up into the street on a regular basis and parking is limited.

Was at St. V's for testing. Love stopping at the coffee stand in the east wing. Had to get a pumpkin spice latte and stroll through the gift shop. Love the items in that gift shop!

Seems to have lots of electronics on display. Not so much appliances these days.
