While Starbucks has existed as a company since 1971, this link in the national chain only opened in March of 2009. A drive-through is available here. However, the store is close to Manatee Memorial Hospital, the Manatee County Courthouse and the Bradenton Herald offices, so expect a sizable wait in the morning, regardless of whether you use the drive-through or go inside. On the bright side, the staff at this location are friendly and helpful, so the wait won't be unpleasant.
