This is like a mega-Starbucks, big with a covered patio and palm trees. Just what I expect from Florida.

Quality and pricing of food and drink:
Your standard Starbucks fare. Got myself a Java Chip and it’s delicious.

Are there enough outlets?
Yes, many set into the booth I now find myself sitting on.

How’s the wifi?
After giving away your full name, email, and zip code and agreeing to receive emails from them (from which I will unsubscribe right after I get the first one) you’re ready to surf.

Will my muse come out?
Fuel her with some coffee or chocolate or sweets—or all three—and she’ll be off and running with all of her fellow muses attached to the many writers clogging this Starbucks.

How long can I park it?
Open to close, which is 5am-8:00pm seven days a week.

Final rating: 5 out of 5 laptops
