I know some folks call it the "Evil Empire" but I'm rather fond of the place! Fresh, hot coffee, always strong, always good, never bitter (or lattes – my weakness) with many options Real 1/2&1/2- not powdered creamer (an oxymoron if there ever was one) Clean, spacious bathrooms Friendly, cordial employees who seem happy to wait on you Easy on/ off access at most freeways You can bring your own cup (granted you had to buy it from them first) – they will even rinse it out for you so the back seat doesn’t get piled ankle deep in Styrofoam. Good Sandwiches Semi nutritious breakfast – the yogurt and granola parfaits. Yes, there are plenty of diet busters too but at least there is another option Comfy Chairs Open early and late. And on Thanksgiving. And Christmas Unlike most stores they did not begin to play Christmas music in mid October. In fact, the one I frequent has yet to make me endure upteen versions of “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas”. You can spend a little time or a while away a couple of hours.

I'm a fan of Starbucks, too! Those evil, addicting lattes!!
LOL. I have to admit I used to be of the 'Evil Empire' mindset until I came to the realization that just because a coffee place is independent, it isn't necessarily better...
I still opt for my favourite indy place when I can, but the Starbucks Christmas blend is VERY nice and has me visiting more often. As for your list? I couldn't agree more.
My 13 are up as well.
Cute 13!!!
I really like Starbucks, too! When I get together with my friend Jewel, we like to hang out in a Starbucks, drink coffee and play Gin Rummy! Have a terrific weekend!
It's so depressing that I don't like coffee....because I love the aroma. I just love that smell early in the morning! Great list! Have a great weekend!
I have only been to Starbucks 2 times but I can understand why people like it..Great atmosphere
I hate Starbucks. It destroyed all of my local coffee shops with one sweep of the corporate one-size-fits-everywhere experience. And then they have the gall to leave out a tip jar, when the baristas won't even put sugar in the cup for you. For $4, you can buy more than half a pound of really good coffee, ground to your particular liking, and just add boiling water at home (it is the only cooking I do). I won't go to Starbucks unless I am in an airport which, by its very nature, is everywhere and nowhere at once.
