No Starbucks in my neck of the woods. . . . but I am a coffee addict. The closest thing that I have is a Dunkin Donuts and Au Bon Pain. . . which I frequent daily as it's in the hospital where I work.

I'd love a king size breve latte right now, but if diet weren't an issue, I'd go for a king size chai tea latte...good for a cool and rainy night


We are big time into our coffee,espresso's and latte's.

I'm a coffee lover too... although I don't need Starbucks to make me happy... a coffee from Dunkin' Donuts (with milk & sugar) makes me one happy duck as well.

I'm Sorry to kill the trend here LOL but I'm not a big fan of Starbucks-- it's VERY expensive here and the food..
, I give the coffee a thumbs up but at that price!

IFOL!

But then again, when I can't have Starbucks, I make my own, and they are pretty amazing as well.

Make like you are making 2 cups (so a double shot), add milk, chocolate syrup, a little Hazelnut syrup, top with whip cream, sprinkle some cinnamon and chocolate sprinkles on it. Oh Goddess is that nummiful. My Father begs me to make them every Holiday season. :p

We have converted to Starbucks here at home, and because it takes less to make coffee taste like REAL coffee, we really aren't spending a whole lot more. To me supermarket brands haven't tasted or even smelled good in years. Starbucks breakfast blend kicks butt!

Just finished my daily dose of morning Mocha Fraps. Regular coffee started to give me too many GI problems if I had it on an empty stomach.
I found out that 2 of the bottled Fraps had the same reviving effect on me as my "usual" 2 cups of coffee always did. So it is 2 fraps in the AM for me, one to open each eye!

Sylent!!!! Yours is making me drool!!! Can I come over just for your coffee or better yet, fax or post a pic of it
I would go to Starbucks but my hubby left the window down lastnight in our truck and it poured cats and dogs!!So the seats are wet!!!


I love venti caramel macchiato!!! I've tried their cold mocha and malt frapps but they are okay. The chai is okay, I've tasted better chai at the smaller mama papas coffee shops. For those on diets, they can make it with soy or non-fat milk!


I'm not a big fan of supporting big companies since they beat out the little mama and papas shops, but I must admit, that I like Starbucks


Someone mentioned drinking coffee on empty stomach, it does wreack havoc on the tummy, I have to drink a lot of water to dilute the stuff.

I think I have a cast iron stomach...my usual breakfast is just coffee with half and half, or if we are on the road, a breve

We don't have a Starbucks here yet, but one is coming to town. We do have other coffee houses that offer the same treats though. I guess we have so many coffee houses because this is a college town.
