Yes, Starbucks is Starbucks. You can either love it, hate it, or need it. Personally, I'm not a daily coffee person but I do enjoy coffee when I need a pick me up. There are multiple places to choose from for coffee in this neighborhood. Almost every local coffee joint serves up a great cup or menu item. Choosing a place just depends on my mood.
I go to Starbucks because of their consistency with orders, speed, and staff. I know what I'm going to get when I order. I know it will be served quickly. I know the staff will be professional and friendly. I know behind the counter is clean and that the staff is clean. I like that.
