I was told by the employees that the new starbucks at the woodbury shopping center was either no. 1 or no. 2 in sales in the "region". I didn't ask what is in the "region". I don't go there often, but the times I have been there, there was always a line. I thought that Starbucks will likely be one of the 600 stores when the news first came out.

When we go there...late morning on the weekends it seems very slow especially compared to the one on Jeffrey and Trabuco (across from the Kohls). I guess that one is #1 in the region? :)



Oh yeah- and with this post I'm an IAC renter! Or apparently not! dammit!

Guess again.

There?s no way that store is #1.

That place is dead 24/7.

So is the Daphne?s & Jamba Juice there.
 
late mornings are usually slow. I have seen many starbucks outside of California serving good breakfast and lunch sandwiches, which increases quite bit of store traffic. When I travel, I always start my day with a cup of Starbucks cappuccino and sometimes a breakfast sandwich. When we were in Maui couple months ago, my kids loved the egg and ham sandwiches there.

Their low-fat coffee cake is pretty good.

My experiences are the same as TEN's in regards to that starbucks at the Kohl shopping center. I ate at that Daphne's before, and I think their food is bad at that location. We go to B&R;for icecream at least couple times a week, most of the time, all the stores in that building (jabma juice, daphne, strabucks, and a viet place) are dead. I think very few Irvine Company retail centers are as "dead" as this one.

You can add La Salsa over there to the list.

Very disappointing. Besides the calorie count, those <em>reduced-fat </em>coffee cakes are a nutritional nightmare.

Tsk. Tsk.
 
We, (my daughters and I), go to the Albertsons and pick up the very small Haagen Daz cups with the "spoon" inside the lid, and we drive to the turn around on Violeta Lane to eat our treat and watch the deer and the hawks and the sunset and sometimes nothing. After reading that condo thread with the working persons highlights, I am thankful we live in South OC.

Sorry, not so proficient with the linky thang, but the thread is called "Will this be the new trend for newly Developed Condos?"

great idea! where is violeta lane?
 
But you lost your Fox Sports Grill!



This doesn't mean much. Sacramento is at ground zero for the subprime RE mess and they are only losing a couple SBUX, and these are in areas where there should have never been a coffee shop anyway so no harm no foul
 
I am so bummed that Fox Sports Grill closed. I wouldn't mind all Starbucks closing, but now I have to wait until 2009 until the replacement Fox Sports Grill opens in Anaheim. The Blackened Cajun Shrimp was awesome. I'd ask for extra bread just to sop up all the sauce. Mmmm!
