Their coffee was overrated anyway. It could be folks are waking up to that, or maybe just mixing liberalism with coffee makes it not taste very good.
I have a friend who owns 2 cafes and his stock in trade is getting the best coffees from S. America...go figure. He explained to me how SB buys their coffee and they purposely do not buy the better quality beans, yet charge more because their cool...or something. He told me Dunkin Donuts, of all places has the highest quality out of all of the franchise coffee joints. How they roast it, is another issue!
