Not mad on Starbucks or Neros, but I do like like Baileys 2 near where I live. Lovely sandwich fillings, delicious cakes, and the coffee isnt bad either. I love places that advertise 'Afternoon Tea".
I dislike coffee, but I love coffee houses. I have tea, hot chocolate, smoothies, desserts and sandwiches, and in every one of those categories Starbucks strikes me as inferior to the local and regional alternatives we have here.
This is one of my favorite places in the Bay Area for coffee, tea, snacks—and music ! It originally sold records and I’ve been going since the early 80s. But occasionally they have live music, local classical musicians, string quartets, etc. perform.
