The Starbucks at the corner of Broxton and Weyburn in Westwood, where I've been working all day, is amazing. There’s a really nice outdoor area in the heart of Westwood’s people-watching area. The indoor area is large, with lots of places to sit and tables of varying sizes, and lots of sunlight comes through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The bathrooms are big — there are multiple stalls, so there’s no waiting in front of the door in long lines like every other Starbucks. There are a lots of gorgeous UCLA students. And the barista comes by every so often with free pastry samples. I’ve tried the cherry crumble, the cranberry muffin, the bran muffin and the blueberry scone. I’m sold.
