Being a Starbucks Coffee fan means that I pick my favorite Starbucks based on atmosphere. The Starbucks on east Atlantic in Delray is a great spot to meet with friends and chat inside. There is plenty of room and because it is spacious, the noise level is manageable. They also have little tables outside so you can indulge in people watching and enjoy the Florida sun.
The quality is always excellent and consistent. The staff are friendly with great memories so even if you stop by every few weeks, they make you feel like a regular. This Starbucks is close to the beach so you can grab your favorite Starbucks blend and stroll a few blocks to the intracoastal or the ocean.

I had occasion to go to the Mellow Mushroom with a large group (about 25) after a Photo Group meeting. Our entire experience was outstanding and I have since taken my family back for a great experience as well. The staff is accommodating and everyone smiles! Even with a large group, they were ready for us, the wait-staff was organized and the food practically flew out of the kitchen. We munched on pizzas (House Special and Kosmic Karma being two faves), and pretzels (crunchy and soft and awesome!), and calzones stuffed with all manner of high quality ingredients. One of the girls ordered more of the stuffed portobellos to take home! The atmosphere is entertaining with huge murals of the Beatles and other 60's & 70's icons. Colorful, delightful, a taste bud treat and with a beer selection to make a connoisseur weep – the Mellow Mushroom is a hit!
