What People Are Saying About Starbucks
The Editor

In Short – For many, getting their daily jolt of java has become a daily morning ritual, and the cardboard cup with its infamous green label is the close companion of every coffee aficionado. Busy baristas work seamlessly behind the bar, juggling orders for their strongly-brewed drips and signature hot and cool beverages. While providing a wide selection of coffee specialties, pastries and various coffee related goods, patrons are invited to settle down in comfy armchairs and enjoy their favorite brews amid the chatter of the laidback yet caffeinated crowd.

decent excuse to take a walk

Starbucks coffee is an escape hatch from a dreary day at work. I've been to this location more times than I can count, simply to step away from my desk for a few minutes. The coffee is fine. Not the best, but it does the job. Despite what people say, the quality DOES vary. I think it's better in the morning, when they're constantly brewing to keep up with demand. (Or the my first cup just might taste better).
- Pros: no surprises
- Cons: no surprises

Don't knock my Starbucks. You have a problem with Starbucks than pass on by, there's a Pete's right across the street for you. Me, I like my Starbucks. The coffee is the same each day, and from one location to another. The atmosphere, though nothing to write home about, is comfortable and inviting and I've yet to pack up my bags after spending hours reading a good book over a $1.50 brew. It's not about whether they're some big chain, or a mom-n-pop shop. Usually when you complain about the chains destroying the coffee world I find you get yours from the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (like they wouldn't take over the world if they had the chance). So if you've you got something to say about my Starbucks you better be willing back it up. For gosh sake just relax, switch to decaf or somthing.
