The little things do matter..
I love the seasonal Christmas blend from Starbucks. I am usually not a big fan of big corporate business, but times like today's moment is what makes me realize why Starbucks is successful.
I ordered a tall Christmas Blend feeling the seasonal spirit today. *cheeky* I ended getting charged for a grande. I skeptically paid for the charge. I was curious and inquired as to why the cost has gone up. The cashier affirmed the cost is consistant to what I ordered; a "grande". I told him that was incorrect because I was holding a "tall". Puzzled, he looked at a fellow barista for consult. She took initiative and apologized profusely for the confusion. She instantly and incessantly handed me a coupon for a complimentary cup. She changed my tall to a grande, sans extra charges. I am so glad that Jen was there to give a great face to the corporate giant. Thank you so much for you help and making my Starbucks experience a good one.
Sincerely,
Happy Local Customer

Seattle-based coffee chain lures caffeine addicts with upscale roasts, caramel frappuccinos, shaken iced teas and an extra shot of trendiness..
In Short
For many, getting their daily jolt of java has become a daily morning ritual, and the cardboard cup with its infamous green label is the close companion of every coffee aficionado. Busy baristas work seamlessly behind the bar, juggling orders for their strongly-brewed drips and signature hot and cool beverages. While providing a wide selection of coffee specialties, pastries and various coffee related goods, patrons are invited to settle down in comfy armchairs and enjoy their favorite brews amid the chatter of the laidback yet caffeinated crowd.

I find starbucks coffee to be rich in flavor and body.
Their cappacino is one of the best.

Hooked on Starbucks. I LOVE Starbucks. Not only do I go there 3-4 times a week, I also make my own cafe mocha in the morning, using Starbucks mocha syrup and espresso beans. Their chocolate brownie frappaccinos are also great!!

Absolutely the best. I am not a US Resident but I have been to the states couple of times in different locations and one think that I definitelfy miss here at home is Starbucks Coffee. To begin the day with Caramel machiato is a pleasure. I wish we have them here in Macedonia, I would agree to anything just to hevae them here.

Dirty Water with a touch of earthiness. I could not believe my eyes when I read that their morning brew was "sophisticated and light-bodied", or when I read that their kenya cup had a "complex city attitude". TALK ABOUT MARKETING! I think it is overpriced at least three-fold. Their coffee beans are over roasted (taste burned), and they water down their coffee. It is very bad tasting coffee and I do not recommend it to anyone that knows their coffee.

Bucks for coffee not for bagels. much better than the watered down DD coffee. ALso I find that they are more consistent in terms of quality of coffee (I've never had to return a cup of coffee at Starbucks) One thing they need help on is decent (if not edible) pastries. Lost in the woods - I'd take acorns before a starbucks bagel.
