If I was independently wealthy, I would go in Starbucks every day and just sit there. That would be a fine life. The coffee is fabulous - I order the same thing almost every day "Venti Iced Cafe Americano with Sugar Free Vanilla w/ Room." and every day I take the first sip, it's like the BEST thing I have ever had in my mouth. The employees know me by name and are happy when I come in- I'm like the "Norm" of Starbucks, I guess. They play wonderfully funky and eclectic music, some classics I have heard a million times and some brand new stuff they help me discover. When I am hungry, there are Pumpkin Scones and Low-Fat Apricot Blueberry Muffins, both of which make me very happy. The outdoor patio and Sun Access is great for cool days, and when it's too hot, they have nice cushy easy chairs in the back where you can lounge and visit and drink coffee in a delightful atmosphere. I go here every day, and sometimes twice. It's like Coffee Mecca.
