<p>If you&#8217;re going to ride all those escalators to the Lower Lot, Universal has your Starbucks needs covered there.</p>
<figure id="attachment_29221" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-29221" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.pulpconnection.net/?attachment_id=29221" rel="attachment wp-att-29221"><img loading="lazy" data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="wp-image-29221 size-large" src="https://i0.wp.com/objects.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-lower-lot-640x427.jpg?resize=640%2C427" alt="universal-sbux-lower-lot" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-lower-lot.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-lower-lot.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-29221" class="wp-caption-text">Starbucks at Universal Studios Lower Lot</figcaption></figure>
<p>But the biggest location is in the Upper Lot. Its signage doesn&#8217;t give away anything about the interior size.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.pulpconnection.net/?attachment_id=29227" rel="attachment wp-att-29227"><img loading="lazy" data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-29227" src="https://i0.wp.com/objects.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-sign-1-640x427.jpg?resize=640%2C427" alt="universal-sbux-sign" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-sign-1.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-sign-1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>But when you walk in, you&#8217;ll see an expanse of people in line, waiting for orders, and dining in.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.pulpconnection.net/?attachment_id=29218" rel="attachment wp-att-29218"><img loading="lazy" data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-29218" src="https://i0.wp.com/objects.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-indoor-640x427.jpg?resize=640%2C427" alt="universal-sbux-indoor" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-indoor.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-indoor.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>While the ordering line may look daunting, it moves fast, mainly because there&#8217;s like four dedicated registers going at the same time.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.pulpconnection.net/?attachment_id=29220" rel="attachment wp-att-29220"><img loading="lazy" data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-29220" src="https://i0.wp.com/objects.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-line-640x427.jpg?resize=640%2C427" alt="universal-sbux-line" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-line.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-line.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>I had to stitch together a panorama to capture the vast dimensions of this location. When you really take a look, you&#8217;ll realize how big this place really is.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.pulpconnection.net/?attachment_id=29222" rel="attachment wp-att-29222"><img loading="lazy" data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-29222" src="https://i0.wp.com/objects.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-pano.jpg?resize=1165%2C251" alt="universal-sbux-pano" width="1165" height="251" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-pano.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-pano.jpg?resize=300%2C65&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-pano.jpg?resize=768%2C166&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-pano.jpg?resize=640%2C138&amp;ssl=1 640w" sizes="(max-width: 1165px) 100vw, 1165px" /></a></p>
<p>There are some cool highlights of this Upper Lot Starbucks. The ceiling lights are distinctive.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.pulpconnection.net/?attachment_id=29219" rel="attachment wp-att-29219"><img loading="lazy" data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-29219" src="https://i0.wp.com/objects.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-lights.jpg?resize=640%2C427" alt="universal-sbux-lights" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-lights.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-lights.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>The product wall has interesting artwork.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.pulpconnection.net/?attachment_id=29223" rel="attachment wp-att-29223"><img loading="lazy" data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-29223" src="https://i0.wp.com/objects.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-products.jpg?resize=640%2C427" alt="universal-sbux-products" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-products.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-products.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>And I especially like its look at night.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.pulpconnection.net/?attachment_id=29217" rel="attachment wp-att-29217"><img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%27http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%27%20width='640'%20height='640'%20viewBox=%270%200%20640%20640%27%3E%3C/svg%3E" loading="lazy" data-lazy="1" data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="tf_svg_lazy aligncenter size-full wp-image-29217" data-tf-src="https://i0.wp.com/objects.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-dusk.jpg?resize=640%2C427" alt="universal-sbux-dusk" width="640" height="427" data-tf-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-dusk.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-dusk.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w" data-tf-sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><noscript><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-29217" data-tf-not-load src="https://i0.wp.com/objects.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-dusk.jpg?resize=640%2C427" alt="universal-sbux-dusk" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-dusk.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https://i0.wp.com/www.pulpconnection.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/universal-sbux-dusk.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></noscript></a></p>
<p>Even though inside an amusement park and servicing crowds of caffeine-deprived parkgoers, this Starbucks menu was up-to-date featuring the Caramelized Honey Latte that launched that day (March 22, 2016). Now, if Starbucks collaborates with Universal Studios for unique combinations that would be super cool. Butterbeer Latte anyone? A Chocolate Frog Frap?</p>

<p>Never interested in the Harry Potter series previously, I may just have to dig into a book (or two) to get versed with Harry and his pals.</p>
