No.  But I do like coffee.

ITA with you ....  Their coffees are basically high fat high sugar milkshakes with some bitter coffee thrown in for good measure.

 

Who the heck wants a daily 800 calorie cup of coffee?  Yikes!

I enjoy the Iced Chai Tea Latte.  I prefer to make my coffee at home in my own French Press.

No, I can't stand the taste of their coffee or the company at all. If I do go out for coffee, I like to give my money to the small independently owned shops.

I ❤️ Starbucks. I don’t drink regular coffee, never have, especially the swill at the office. But I love a good mocha/cappuccino/latte. I try to go out of my way once a month to get a mocha at Starbucks; I take the morning off from work, get my nails done and run errands, work from home in the afternoon. A trip to Starbucks is a special treat. We actually have 3 or 4 Starbucks in my smallish town. Amazing how many people don’t have to work and can sit and drink coffee for hours. Same in the town where I work. But then I am in the heart of Silicon Valley, where people make their own schedules. Peet’s is okay, too, actually any place that makes a mocha is all right with me.

Love coffee, love Starbucks!  in fact, I frequent 2 locations where the baristas know me by name and have my order ready the minute I cross the threshold.

That picture sure looks good.  I've never had a Starbucks.
