This Starbucks is located in the Northwood Plaza at the northwest corner of Enterprise and McMullen Booth roads. To access the parking lot, enter just before at the Wachovia bank or past the Starbucks in the main plaza entrance. This is the place where the locals come to watch the world busily go by. Many tables with chairs and umbrellas are outside (and inside) and are often filled with patrons enjoying a cup of java and a baked item while doing something on their laptop as this is a free Wi-Fi zone. Don't forget that Starbucks has more than just coffee such as Tazo tea, hot chocolate and more.
The branch of the Starbucks global chain offers coffees, teas and assorted custom drinks. Hot, cold and frozen coffee-based beverages are available, such as the Frappuccino, a frozen flavored cappuccino topped with whipped cream. Caffeine-free varieties, such as strawberries and creme and vanilla bean, are also available. Choose from a vast array of pastries, danishes, cookies, doughnuts, scones, muffins, cupcakes and other baked items. Free Wi-Fi is now standard at Starbucks locations.
Clearwater Bagels' bagels are the real deal -- not to mention inexpensive, a great breakfast and bakery alternative to fast-food chains and gas-station donut cases. There's a nice assortment of flavors in this small but delightful shop, located just a few blocks east of the Keene Road intersection on eastbound Gulf to Bay Boulevard.
