Starbucks is my go-to place when Cafe Myriade is too packed, or it's raining/snowing way too hard to get to Pikolo Espresso Bar in a good mood. This coffee shop is in my area, so it's convenient.
But that's about it.
It's hyped up and commercial coffee. It's always got a ridiculous, unnecessary line up, and the baristas can NEVER (I really mean NEVER) get my name right when they insist on putting it down on the cups - even after I spell it out to them it comes out in the most bastardized form. But... I'll still walk in on my break from work or class to get a good Americano and walk out satisfied.
