Our neighborhood coffee shop, where I <i>do</i> stop for homemade blueberry scones or muffins is the sit-at-the-table-with-a-newspaper-don't-talk-to-me-just-yet place, my closest neighbors always beginning their day at a table for 6, barely speaking until the coffee kicks in. People come & go, holler hello at each other, argue politics. It's a pretty blah place visually - needs decorating, pretty cups, but it's a stop for politicians running for office, and if I've forgotten cash, they just let me pay them later. Plus there's no music playing in the background. <br /><br />When I stop at Starbuck's to buy giftcards or whatever, it's miserable, loud, full of silly people/kids who are just trying too hard to be cool. I have actually laughed out loud at the valley girl intellectual taking my money.<br /><br />Another coffee shop in town, more expensive than either of the aforementioned - and here I will say it is just not <i>right</i> that poor people are denied the joy of expensive coffee & the atmosphere of such places, and definitely, <i>definitely</i>, there should be a government program enacted to remedy this, whereby all the people purchasing expensive coffees over a certain price should be taxed more than other folks & that tax money should be used to fund the "Lattes for the Poor" program, and pay the salary of the coffee czar - is full of women wearing jewelry paid for by ex-husbands, designer clothes, beautiful cups, fabulous, fabulous food. No music except during art shows & then it's live music.<br /><br />My coffee drinking friends go to all 3 places and I hear about the differences, and I hear them say the most expensive is the best, but I have my doubts. I don't care - a coke is a coke is a coke and that's all I want - as long as it's quiet. I hate noisy places.<br /><br />Debid smith kaich joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450581639610967780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-84074482203589378112009-08-21T17:25:57.870+02:002009-08-21T17:25:57.870+02:00I am a creature of habit, so, starbucks is my '...I am a creature of habit, so, starbucks is my 'habit'....it's such a habit, that I have a hard time frequenting other starbucks, because they won't know me....yes, they all know my name and drink order at MY starbucks....(I realize that's part of their job, making you feel welcome, but, I still like that they know me) and, once I break in a starbucks, it's hard for me to trust another one...and, as for different coffee houses....there are different coffee houses?<br /><br />I NEED SILVER CHUCKS...because, I'm a silversmith, you know.<br /><br />;o)<br />SAn Open Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01581361716412644419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-75325652274140867142009-08-21T16:53:40.786+02:002009-08-21T16:53:40.786+02:00The right kind of cup / mug can really dial up the...The right kind of cup / mug can really dial up the experience.

And it seems I am not the only Au to think so. Many of their outlets have closed in Au because, as the newspaper article said, we are accustomed to good quality Italian strength coffee...<br /><br />But on a cold and rainy day a Starbucks is very inviting and better than nothing.... and in Japan where there are virtually no real coffee shops SB fills the need...<br /><br />Happy daysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-50420476725479864752009-08-21T10:39:44.722+02:002009-08-21T10:39:44.722+02:00i ma starbucks addicted .. i love your mug i ve g...i ma starbucks addicted .. i love your mug i ve got from NYC yepp near ground zero i bought .. love mugs .. ok the mail doesnt work . my pc doesnt allow me hope to find another way .. may be you mail and i will notice and dont publich your mail .. have a good daySH -ichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682202730223613014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-72821155101996931962009-08-21T10:22:43.111+02:002009-08-21T10:22:43.111+02:00Mmm that cinnamon bun thing looks the business.
