However, this location made me realize that Starbucks needs to be more consistent about how stores are named on the Store Locator--the shopping center name should be used if applicable (in this case, Crossroads Festival). |

As plain as this location is, it does have a couple of interesting qualities. Firstly, unlike all the stores I have seen so far located next to an Einstein Bros., this one does not have a wall or door separating the bagel shop. And secondly, this store is the first that I can remember having encountered where the barista takes the customer's name, to avoid confusing the orders. Smart in deed, if not in appearance. |

 | OPENED: ?, PHOTO: 25 November 1999 I had actually managed to tag this University of Arizona location on my way back from that first trip. It was actually closed when I arrived, but as I fought my way through the rain down from Phoenix, I called up the store and asked them to set a cup of coffee outside the door for me. No doubt they thought the request strange, but customer satisfaction won out, and I was able to add Tucson to my list of cities. But I am glad that I returned during the day, because I was pleasant surprised to discover that this is a very pretty store, almost worth the 900-mile drive by itself. |
