... and we digress again. Given we're far along this road already, I will agree with Owen that Starbucks is not terrible. It's not gourmet espresso, but they sell consistent quality at many convenient locations, so they have built up a solid clientele. The milk-based drinks are quite all right in my opinion, although I don't claim to have golden taste buds. And the prices are pretty much in line with what every other espresso shop charges. I frequent Starbucks when traveling, especially in the US, as their locations are far easier to find than the local non-chain cafes (and it's still far better than the coffee from Dunking Donuts).
Which cafes, restaurants and stores we prefer, it's all down to personal choice, the great thing is that we do have a choice.
