I find each shops unique with their brew. There are no really bad and good coffee shops tbh. It is an adventure of taste. 

True. It really depends on who is making the coffee. Since I generally only patronize Starbucks when I'm on the road, I'm probably not visiting their best shops. 

And damn, now I need to go make a good cup of coffee. Mmm.

Yup. and personal preference too. Like say, I usually choose coffee beans that have lower acidity cos I don't like strong sourness taste at the back of my tongue. But someone else would prefer that instead.

Exactly this. I’m loyal to Starbucks and there’s a huge difference between stores, with the ones in small towns, in grocery stores, or off major exits usually being the worst. There’s one in downtown Seattle that’s particularly good 

reality’s tight if the music is right

 I urge everyone seeing this to be KIND to your baristas, corporate is cutting our labor and overworking us. 

Can you explain this ? 

How can the corporate cut your labor and overwork you at the same time ?

Probably short staffing, so they’re overworked while they’re there, even if their hours have been cut

This breaks my heart.. that’s a ton of jobs lost. This is further proof that COVID’s economic impact is going to decimate small business if it’s affecting a juggernaut like Starbucks this much

Yeah, I figure that the Starbucks in service plazas off the interstate or in grocery stores/malls are not representative of the better shops. I think it ultimately comes down to the employees.

I thought so too but I'd like a confirmation from @JoAnn Fabrics since they said they work at Starbucks.

I  can't at these people calling Starbucks disgusting, but then proceed mentioning how bitter the coffee were that they gotta add so much sugar. :lmao:

Hennies, clearly any of you who said things like that are not avid coffee drinker enough to criticize a coffee shop. Real ones not gonna add sugar in our coffee, we drunk it black. That way we can really taste the brew as it is intended. And if we want sweetness, we had cookies, stroop waffels, or cakes for that.

Like, I am sorry, that kind of attitude bothers me so I need to put y'all in your place a bit. Go enjoy your frappe in silence  :lmao:

Actually Starbucks is rated one of the worst coffees black according to people who actually give a **** about the taste of bitter bean water

They're short staffing our stores. There have been so many days when I work a 8 hour shift with no break because if i take one, my coworkers will be completely overwhelmed with the amount of orders.

It's just coffee snobs and their pride. Don't mind it.

Coffee is coffee, I went to small to big franchise for my cuppa when I was outside, and when I travels. I certainly don't feel above it at all. All I care is to get my shot of life elixir so I can function, especially in the morning, and midday.

They’re everywhere over here, at least in the midsize and bigger cities. I can count 7 off the top of my head within a few miles of my house and I live on a weird edge of town that’s not really near anything 

I was starting to think I was the only one who drinks it black haha. Nitro cold brew, black, all day everyday 

Fam what's wrong with u? Drinking coffee black. Total foolishness :sick:

 

Double Double is the way to go. Some days if I'm feeling adventurous a Triple Triple :ally:

Is Starbucks as prevalent in the west as DD is on the east coast?

No so much. I prefer Dunkin’ and their stores are rather spaced out. Unlike Starbucks being on every corner. :messga:

In my east coast city of about 21,000, there's a total of 3 DD. In Danvers, MA (outskirt of Boston) there's about 5 within two miles of road. :messga::messga::messga::messga:
