Starbucks may be expensive, but it definitely has a great atmosphere! After spending a day walking around Newtown, it's really satisfying to grab a cup of coffee or other drink there. There's not a lot of seating, but most people are in and out so something's always available. It's a great place to talk and its never too loud. I'm a high schooler myself but I would recommend looking out for the middle schoolers who never miss an oppurtunity to hang out in large groups outside or inside of Starbucks.
