How often do you go to Starbucks?

I don't care if it's overpriced, I loooove their lattes 馃槍

Been years.

It's overpriced, over packed and overdone.

I like the mom & pop coffe houses, more personable and more culture.

None of that whitewash franchise cold chill that comes from "cookie cutter " clone enterprise.

I wonder 馃 what the first starbucks were like? Like with most things that draw themselves thin with success... had beginnings that were treasures to behold then lost in the rat race rivalry.

@sighmeupforthat I wish we had more mom & pop coffee houses here!

I've wondered about that too sometimes. These large fast food/fast-casual chains have to adapt and streamline their production as they grow larger and go national. How similar or different was the menu and the food/drink at the first location? Same question for places like Chipotle, Subway, etc.

@SW-User That's smart! I need to get a coffee maker.

Almost never - there's not one close enough to be convenient. :/

Only once, the coffee is awful.

@Mackenzie1 Maybe you just got a bad batch!

@SW-User
Have you had the Christmas drinks?
I love them
SW-User
@Adamski24 Black forest hot chocolate, every year 馃憣

@SW-User I'm not a big fan of hot chocolate but should have to get the extra points.

Only when I need caffeine and I'm stuck in an airport with no other place to get coffee.

Twelve years ago.
SameSame22-25, F
@Crazywaterspring Do you prefer to get your coffee from somewhere else, or just don't really partake at all?
Crazywaterspring61-69, M
@SameSame I live on coffee. I don't like paying four dollars plus a tip for burnt swill. I take mine straight without sweeteners or flavorings.
SW-User
Only when it's cold for the hot chocolate.
SameSame22-25, F
@SW-User Ooh, their hot chocolate is pretty good too 馃槍
SW-User
@SameSame Only reason I ever go. 馃槍

Oh, how've you been, quite a while it's become. Good to see you're still here also.

@JAYS21 You're not the only person that told me that. I hear it's expensive.

Never. I call it Charbucks. I've had to when it was the only game in town. Starbucks was even in the cafeteria in the building where I worked and I left to go to either a deli or Dunkin Donuts. Eventually, it left, too.

I think if you have to put so much extra cream/milk/sweeteners/flavor shots in your product, that's an unconscious admission that your coffee tastes like ass.
Honestly, I don鈥檛 anymore. But I used to love those chai lattes.

@bijouxbroussard I am actually not a huge fan of those. The mixture of coffee and tea throws me off. To each their own!
