Starbucks

I love the seasonal Christmas blend from Starbucks. I am usually not a big fan of big corporate business, but times like today's moment is what makes me realize why Starbucks is successful. I ordered a tall Christmas Blend feeling the seasonal spirit today. *cheeky* I ended getting charged for a grande. I skeptically paid for the charge. I was curious and inquired as to why the cost has gone up. The cashier affirmed the cost is consistant to what I ordered; a ""grande"". I told him that was incorrect because I was holding a ""tall"". Puzzled, he looked at a fellow barista for consult. She took initiative and apologized profusely for the confusion. She instantly and incessantly handed me a coupon for a complimentary cup. She changed my tall to a grande, sans extra charges. I am so glad that Jen was there to give a great face to the corporate giant. Thank you so much for you help and making my Starbucks experience a good one. Sincerely, Happy Local Customer more

The two Starbucks on Charles Street are always so crowded, but I consistantly can find a seat at this one. Pros: Less Crowded that other Starbucks in the area Cons: Besides that, it's the same as every other Starbucks, except the 24 hour ones in Chicago more

the coffee's ok and i like the atmosphere, but i'd rather give my money to d.donuts or, even better, 1369! more

I find starbucks coffee to be rich in flavor and body. Their cappacino is one of the best. Pros: no long wait, good variety Cons: expensive, no on parking more

I LOVE Starbucks. Not only do I go there 3-4 times a week, I also make my own cafe mocha in the morning, using Starbucks mocha syrup and espresso beans. Their chocolate brownie frappaccinos are also great!! Pros: can find one anywhere Cons: limited seating more

I am not a US Resident but I have been to the states couple of times in different locations and one think that I definitelfy miss here at home is Starbucks Coffee. To begin the day with Caramel machiato is a pleasure. I wish we have them here in Macedonia, I would agree to anything just to hevae them here. Pros: good service, great products, nice presents more

I could not believe my eyes when I read that their morning brew was ""sophisticated and light-bodied"", or when I read that their kenya cup had a ""complex city attitude"". TALK ABOUT MARKETING! I think it is overpriced at least three-fold. Their coffee beans are over roasted (taste burned), and they water down their coffee. It is very bad tasting coffee and I do not recommend it to anyone that knows their coffee. Pros: lots of variety Cons: bad coffee, incredibly expensive, not real coffee more

starbucks is great!! i love the coffee, the atmosphere. the employees are always courtious and never in a bad mood...always friendly unlike other coffee chains were the employess bearly look at you when you're ordering. it's great that they take pride in there help and don't hire just any 16 year old looking for a job. Pros: great coffee, fast service, good employees Cons: crowed at times more

much better than the watered down DD coffee. ALso I find that they are more consistent in terms of quality of coffee (I've never had to return a cup of coffee at Starbucks) One thing they need help on is decent (if not edible) pastries. Lost in the woods - I'd take acorns before a starbucks bagel. Pros: quality, freshness, "chic" Cons: never parking, not on every corner, bad bagels more

I always know when I'm near Starbucks, you can smell it a half mile away. You don't know if they are brewing coffee or pouring asphalt! Plus, all the yuppie 20 & 30 somethings have to be seen there along with the Martha Stewart types. Given the product & phony atmosphere, it reeks of ""bourgeois complacency""! more

Best ever coffee and attentive staff. Always helpful and pleasant. Stores are clean. Pros: many options, helpful staff, never long lines more

NOT ONLY IS THEIR COFFEE, PASTRIES, COOKIES, ETC> TERRIFIC THEY ALSO HAVE THIS CARMEL APPLE CIDER THAT I JUST CRAVE. more

I love the starbucks mocha frappuccino! It's the best frozen coffee drink around, especially on a hot summer day. more
