First of all... I am an anti-Starbucks kinda gal...
Starbucks is GOOD for...
FREE wifi!
FREE cups of ice water!
FREE dual-sized straws!
FREE eco-friendly napkins!
FREE restroom usage!
FREE A/C'd environment!
FREE place to lounge & study!
...and lastly, FREE electronic recharge station! Woo hoo!
With that being said... the Starsucks cuz...
-it's a chain (I'm a big supporter of the little guys).
-of the bourgeois-y language that just doesn't make sense?
(direct translation: Tall, Grande, & Venti = big, large, & twenty :-/)
SERVICE: **** [perky & friendly employees = a happy Lily]
AMBIANCE: **** [all stated above in the GOOD!]
FOOD: *** [too sugary]
PRICE: $ [under $3... I'm a coffee brew or Americano kinda gal.]
OVERALL: ***/* [3.5 stars]
Despite it all... I am still an anti-Starbucks kinda gal... but growing up in a Chinese household, I learned how to SAVE MONEY!!!
[With laptop & phone fully charged, Lily grabs a bunch of FREE napkins to stash at home.]
Yeah, that's right... Mom & Dad taught me well! Y^_^Y
Nuff said.
