I used to love those places. You could actually go into one coffee house and get a completely different product and experience than from another one.

It was a very nice afternoon drink after work. :bluesad: Title: Re: Starbucks appreciation thread Post by: Mr. DS on April 25, 2011, 09:18:14 PM To each his own but I'm all set with their coffee. It made me awfully shaky the one time I had it.

We are spoiled for choice with coffee in this country and I like frequenting the local establishments as well as Starbucks. If I want regular coffee, I go to the locals but if I want something exotic or a frappucino, I go to Starbucks.
I usually buy their beans for home. Title: Re: Starbucks appreciation thread Post by: claws on April 26, 2011, 12:06:46 AM Starbucks is VERY expensive but I love me a cup of whatever Christmas flavors they got during the holidays while I'm out shopping.
