Too many great coffee shops in Tulsa to ever go to a Starbucks.
Same down here around Tampa. There’s plenty of Cuban owned mom and pop bodegas that serve great stuff at much more reasonable prices and without the pretentious aura Starbucks is known for. Besides, given Starschmocks’ progressive corporate culture you would think they’d want us to BUY LOCALLY.
“Too many great coffee shops in Tulsa to ever go to a Starbucks.”
Too many really great coffee places in California to ever go to a Shariabucks!
We started buying coffee in Berzerkeley at Peet’s twenty years ago, when it was actually run by Mr. Peet. Now he’s passed on and Peet’s is a big chain, and their coffee, although light years better than Shariabucks, is suffering from “corporatization.” Some things don’t lend themselves to being “corporatized,” and good coffee is one of them. But at least Peet’s doesn’t use their business to “put forward their owner’s political views.”
