I do during midterms and finals because I need that extra mental boost. I usually get white chocolate mocha. So tasty. I think I'll head over and get one now.

I've only been once to get a Mocha Latte.

Never had coffee, because I drink soda. I like to pretend like that's something to be proud of.

I once was at the Starbucks in Stratford-upon-Avon with a few friends, and I took the seat in the comfy chair in the window, while they took a normal table. They had to order something every half an hour or they'd be kicked out, while I fell asleep in the Starbucks window for nearly four hours straight, with nobody bothering me in the slightest.

Yeah, that doesn't really have anything to do with the OP, but I wanted to share that story.

I don't like Starbucks.

Love Starbucks. In fact, just this morning I had a lovely cinnamon dolce latte. I get really excited for the seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice and gingerbread. The gingerbread in particular is absolute sex.

Here in Australia we only have limited Starbucks, and in my state we only have I think 4 Starbucks. We have other major coffee chains, but I've always been fond of Starbucks, consistenly great coffee. I go a mocha, or if I'm not in the mood for any sugar, I'll just grab a regular strong latte.

Do you have to request all the drinks to be made upside down in order to have them done correctly?

I only drink plain, normal coffee, and in very large portions. There's isn't good enough or large enough to warrant the cost.

I passionately hate Star Bucks.
There's a decent place called Costa that has better everything but unfortunately I couldn't find it in the U.S.

Right here? Iced caramel macchiato, n***aaaahhhh!

Ħ · « **Reply #16 on:** August 21, 2012, 04:41:28 PM »

Nice, caramel macchiato is awesome albeit a bit too sweet sometimes. But why iced? I down iced drinks in about two seconds - when it's hot, you are forced to savor it.

Let me ask, are Starbucks that common in America, are they at every corner like portrayed on tv? Dumbass question I know

but still, answer it.

Ħ · « **Reply #19 on:** August 21, 2012, 04:43:48 PM »

Yes. They are freaking everywhere. I can count about 3 within half a mile of each other where I'm at.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #20 on:** August 21, 2012, 04:45:42 PM »

In urban areas? Yes.

In suburban areas? Almost.

In rural areas? Not so much.

You know, I love craft beer but when it comes to coffee, I'm not a fan of Starbucks and I know it's craft coffee. I like the Budweiser of coffee, Dunkin' Donuts.

That's fucking crazy!

Seriously, the girlfriend and I both prefer Starbucks over the main chains here in Aus, but we seriously have to travel at least 40 minutes north of the city, or down past the coast to get to a Starbucks. Makes it more a treat I guess on weekends than being able to get one ten times a day.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #23 on:** August 21, 2012, 04:50:39 PM »

When I can afford it, it's a lovely way of living.

Caramel Machiato. I don't know why, I just like it, a lot. Plus, the coffee I make at home is better than the Starbucks coffee and I can't make a caramel machiato at home, so in the rare instance that I actually go to Starbucks, I'll get one of them. I also always give false names for the hell of it.

Awesome. I do the same thing at open mic night. Last time I played under the names:

Bacon Taint

(and also)

Dick Fritter and the Crabcake Allstars.

DebraKadabra · « **Reply #26 on:** August 21, 2012, 04:56:43 PM »

It's not a habit, just an occasional treat.

Caffeinated: Cinnamon Dolce Latte (no whipped cream)

Non-caffeinated: Passion Tea Lemonade (stuff is SO good on a hot day)

You should see Seattle. I work downtown, and can literally stand in one spot and see multiple Starbucks. In addition to the Tullys, SBC, and any other random coffee house/shop that dares do business in this town.

I think I will count how many I see between my office and my bus stop on the way home today.

And I dislike coffee. Sometimes living here makes me feel like I am in some weird (and boring) Twilight Zone episode.

Don't forget they're in every grocery store now. Within a mile of my apartment are probably 12 or so.

If the weather is warm I might have a frappuchino or an Iced tea, if it's cold I'll have a Mocha.

This. if I'm on my own at a coffe shop I do this everytime. I always thought I was weird but I'm glad I'm not the only one.
