I'm from the Bay Area. Starbucks is no Peet's (the best coffee in my book) but, you know, it's available. Be sure to REGISTER your Starbucks Card! Free drink on your birthday, free refills after 5 purchases, and when you hit Gold, free purchase every 12. They have a couple special touches; the free downloads and apps for your iPhone, the Starbucks app which tracks your rewards. The breakfast sandwiches are good, and if you have to pick up a quick lunch to go, their little grab and go options are doable.
