In Short – For many, getting their daily jolt of java has become a daily morning ritual, and the cardboard cup with its infamous green label is the close companion of every coffee aficionado. Busy baristas work seamlessly behind the bar, juggling orders for their strongly-brewed drips and signature hot and cool beverages. While providing a wide selection of coffee specialties, pastries and various coffee related goods, patrons are invited to settle down in comfy armchairs and enjoy their favorite brews amid the chatter of the laidback yet caffeinated crowd.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Purchase a Starbucks customer card and use it to receive fun rewards, like a free tall beverage when you buy a pound of coffee beans.
- Fun Fact:
- The Starbucks logo, a two-tailed mermaid, was based on a 16th century Norse woodcut, and supposed to be as seductive as coffee itself.

Starbucks is good coffee?
by Weetus at Citysearch
To say Starbucks serves great coffee is like saying that McDonalds serves great hamburgers. Sure it's better than IHOP (who probably serves Starbucks these days) but it's no longer coffee with all the flavoring syrups added to it. Have an espresso without the sugar and milk and you will realize how over-roasted and acidic their coffee is. Torrefazione was always my favorite of U.S. coffees but are they even still around after being bought out by Starbucks? Even SBC, who I believe is also owned by Starbucks isn't much better, though it used to be. Quality only comes in small batches from select producers, the rest is just successful marketing... and a lot of sugar.

There are better choices!

Folks, this is Seattle - home of the best coffee in the states. Why go to the standard McCoffee shop (of which there are some 6000 other ones around this globe) when you can go to a genuine coffee cafe where the baristas know how to make a true latte or cappuccino -- places such as Vivace, Zeitgeist, Zoka, Cafe D'Arte, etc. I used to go to Starbucks years ago, but stopped because the quality of the coffee went down. This includes over roasting of beans to lack of skill in baristas knowing how to correctly froth milk. A true barista doesn't use a spoon!

never "bean" so good

Lately ive come back to Starbucks since the service at Tullys has been declinning. It seems the two coffee houses have changed places. Now when i get my espresso i know i wont be waiting in long lines. The coffee is more consistent and the milk seems to be fresher. I frequent about 3 Starbucks during the week . All the perssonel seem happy and are customer friendly. They quickly learn their customers and have the coffee ready before im done paying. great job!!!!!!!!
- Pros: quick service, knowledege, consistent
- Cons: no free coffee punch

Try the Mocha at Starbucks it is really good. For my taste the Latte has too much foam.

No Bueno, Just not good
by javajoi at Citysearch
I will stop at Starbucks only if there isn't ANY thing else to be had. Of course it difficult to travel without a Starbucks or two or three in a one mile stretch. They have become the the 7/11 of the coffee shops. The sad thing is they admitedly over-roast their coffee. A good rich cup of coffee is not a burnt cup of coffee. It's no wonder folks have to frappe it, latte it, freezed, douse it with cream or 2%. If ya can't drink it black and straight, it just ain't good joe.
