Starbucks Reserve - The Grid

The Starbucks Reserve at The Grid on Mill Avenue provides a spacious and upscale environment, making it a comfortable haven for remote workers. Unlike typical Starbucks, this location boasts a more refined decor, often with larger tables and more comfortable seating options, including plush armchairs and communal work tables. The lighting is usually well-distributed, and the layout often includes nooks and crannies that offer a bit more privacy. They serve the full Starbucks Reserve menu, which includes unique coffee offerings, pour-overs, and a better selection of pastries and light food than standard stores. The crowd is a mix of ASU faculty and students, business professionals, and savvy digital nomads taking advantage of the reliable Wi-Fi and amenities. While it can get busy, especially around lunch and late afternoon, the sheer size of the space helps distribute the noise, keeping it at a moderate, productive hum. You'll find plenty of power outlets, especially along the walls and near communal tables. It’s an excellent choice for extended work sessions.
