I'd also suggest staying out of most fast food places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't go in too often except when I haven't brought my coffee-filled thermos in to work, but when I do, most folks are ordering coffee or iced coffee. Very few are ordering the frappucinos, and certainly not "most" people. But you are correct about avoiding most fast food joints in general.

Their usual brews are hideous. Their varietals are merely awful. That*is*NOT*coffee!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted July 10, 2019 Share #14 Posted July 10, 2019 I drink Starbucks every day, it’s offered free at work. I get the blonde roast, black. Better than most office swill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted July 10, 2019 Share #15 Posted July 10, 2019 Blue bottle is for people who think they are too good for Starbucks and don't realize they hire "barristas" that couldn't keep their job at Starbucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It "works" for me on a road trip or for a quick and easy caffeine fix, but the taste is definitely not high on my list of best coffee. Again, with them, it comes down to CONVENIENCE, since they literally are every couple blocks (or less) in the city. I pass many on almost every lunch walk I take. I have three within five minute walks from my house. They are all over America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about these folks? They also serve La Colombe, but I like them for their hot chocolate (in the colder months). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is just across the street from my office. Traffic, by Pittsburgh standards, is terrible in that part of town. If I were to wonder for coffee, I’d go to La Prima. For day to day coffee, I am ok with the stuff, according to Couch, that is made from dead animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted July 10, 2019 Share #19 Posted July 10, 2019 OK, now I'm PO'd. On the walk to the Mall, we were looking for coffee, I SAID we should detour the block over to that place, but NOOooo, "there will be another place" and we got stuck buying coffee at Starblechs.
