I like a lot of things about Coffee Bean better than Starbucks - their Ice Blended drinks (way better than Frappucinos), their espresso (a lot richer than Starbucks'), and their powder-based (not syrup) formula for flavored drinks. The employees at this location were really friendly, and the fruit-tea blended I got was really good, although it was a little pricey for a regular size (~$5). However, I'm going to have to dock this location two stars for not having their own wireless network and for having very few plugs for laptops. These days, it's pretty much a given that you should be able to go to a coffee shop, get a beverage, and then sit at a table and surf the net. When I first sat down, I noticed that there were no available plugs - the only outlet was far from my seat and was being monopolized by some 10-year-old kid listening to music on headphones and pounding on his computer keys while his parents sat and conversed at a different table. I guess I'll save my commentaries about modern parenting techniques until another time...\n\nAnyway, after trying to connect and not seeing a Coffee Bean network, I asked the guy behind the counter if they had wireless. He said no, gave some excuse about how they're still trying to set it up (even though they've been open for some time now), and said I could try to get onto Paradise Bakery's network. That's eventually what I did, but the signal was weak since I was in Coffee Bean and not Paradise (no pun intended!). I didn't want to go buy something else there just to have better signal so I stayed put, but I was very disappointed that I had chosen to go there when I had a few hours to kill precisely to relax and go online and that they didn't provide that basic service.
