[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two Starbucks near me and one of them is actually one of the cleaner, more pleasant coffee shops in my neighborhood. Like there is also a Blue Bottle, a Maman, and a couple others nearby, and I would choose the Starbucks if I needed somewhere to work or hang out for a bit because the seating is more comfortable, it has better temp control (the Maman is always super hot for some reason), and I feel anonymous/invisible there in a pleasant way -- no one bothers me.

The other one is kind of meh but it's near my kid's school and I will sometimes stop in and sit for 5 minutes if I'm early for pick up and want somewhere to read a book.

I'm a tea drinker and the earl grey at Starbucks is fine, plus usually cheaper than other places. They use Harney & Sons which I also use at home, so it's actually a wash for me in terms of quality.[/quote]

I'm mainly a tea drinker, too, but never buy it out of the house. If cafes are going to charge $4 to plop a tea bag in hot water, then I'm spending a couple bucks more to get a coffee drink that someone had to actually put some effort into. The markup on tea is outrageous. [/quote]
