Starbucks has a mean blueberry oat bar, that is about it.

They seem to be going through the typical #2 way of going out of business. They have been growing too fast.

I don't know how you can have three of them within 4 blocks and expect them all to be profitable all the time.

Can you say Krispy Kream.

Well, what they have been doing is opening a new cafe when a cafe consistently earns 20-25K gross.
It only takes about a month for both stores to be earing 20K gross.
You are correct the blueberry oat bar is good but not all stores carry it.
I like the whole wheat carrot cake, not very many stores carry that either.

Can you say Krispy Kream.

No, but I can say French Press and fresh ground. At home.

Isn't that the truth. It reminds me of Leno's joke that there are so many Starbucks that next they're going to have to put Starbucks inside Starbucks.

I thought Krispy Creme got caught up in the carb hysteria.
I know the twinkie folks did.
