Starbucks
Starbucks Coffee - Franklin St. - across from UNC campus
Starbucks Coffee - Eastgate Shopping Center -
Franklin St. Chapel Hill, NC
This Starbucks Coffee location previously was an old-fashioned
service station, re-purposed into a hopping Starbucks in a great
Chapel Hill location. This Starbucks is next door to Bruegger's
Bagels, and a hop, skip and a jump from the Chapel Hill Trader
Joe's.
Starbucks - New Hope Commons (Mt
Moriah Rd.) Durham, NC - We think the Starbucks at New Hope
Commons is so popular because their staff and manager are always
friendly and helpful. This Starbucks also has a very child-friendly
atmosphere (with occasional craft activity events for kids and
families), and they have building blocks and baskets of crayons and
coloring books for children to enjoy while their parents enjoy a
coffee. Convenient Starbucks WiFi; indoor tables and some
outdoor tables. (There is also a Starbucks cafe in the Barnes &
Noble at New Hope Commons - lots of tables and WiFi.)
