Hines probably thinks the Starbucks doesn't need an exterior entrance because it won't be open outside of 9-5, and it will be mostly patronized by workers who are already in the building (whereas the sandwich shop might draw from surrounding areas). Starbucks still might request an external entrance, and it looks like they could have one that lets out onto that little elevated podium.
