Starbucks

Best next move

Order ahead on convention mornings

Place a mobile order before walking from the room tower on a convention or fight morning. The line at the counter can stretch fifteen minutes deep when both events fall on the same day.

Visitor fit

For convention and travel-morning refuels

Suits guests who already use Starbucks and want the same drink without changing routine on a travel or meeting day. Coffee-curious visitors looking for an independent third-wave option should head off-property.

Locals' angle

Mobile order beats the walk-up line

Convention-circuit visitors and early arena attendees rely on mobile order pickup — the in-store counter can lag well behind app pickup on a busy morning, particularly on weekends with overlapping events.
