Kathy I just looove cold drinks. Oh my, makes me want to go out to Starbucks. xD; Or even Coffee Bean. Hm, which do you prefer?
We have this bohemian coffee bar called Roca Jack's that has all the hot coffee, iced coffee, flavored teas and the list goes on... I kind of prefer this place to Starbucks or Second Cup because of the cool atmosphere (and the music is great, too). They have performers come in about once a week, after 7:00 p.m., and it can be one performer or a group of musicians, sometimes chamber music, sometimes jazz, etc. Overall, it is a nice relaxing place to enjoy your coffee/tea, your surroundings, and some good conversation! :)
Yeeee. It's awesome to find really nice, small places where there's actual entertainment and delicious coffee with slightly better prices than Starbucks. ;] There's this place called Antigua, with Guatemalan coffee where people go recite poetry or sing. It's nice~
There used to be a nice coffee house in my area...you could sit around on the couches, play chess or some other games and drink coffee. They closed up. :( I actually don't care for Starbucks coffee, I find it sort of bitter. Did you folks know that Starbucks makes coffee icecream though? It is very good.
Yes, it is very good. I'm avoiding Starbucks even though they are everywhere, and trying to go to the independent/alternative coffeeshops...you can look them up on delocator.netQuote:

They make excellent ice coffee, I go through the drive through window on my way to bring the dog for his walk. Trouble is, he gets spoiled by the people who work there...they slip him those little doughnut holes. :lol:
Haha! Most of the ones near me are Starbucks...to get a good cup of java I have to go way out of my ways...lately though i've been going to small tea houses...they are getting really popular in my area...with artists and such...Quote:

I don't like Starbucks coffee either and I am talking about the plain old coffee and several people that I know don't really care for it either. If I want a cup of coffee in the morning before work, I will just go to a gas station and pay .79 cents for a cup of joe with some flavored creams. Starbucks is good for iced lattes with soy milk and atmosphere and that's about it.Quote:

Cause you can't just keep burning the beans at every single starbucks...and my uncle buys the beans from the stores and it tastes fine, but I kid you not, every starbucks in my area burns their beans when it comes to just regular coffee.:(
Yeah, if you just buy the packets of coffee beans and you make it at home - ohhh delicious. :]
In any case my fave is still Guatemalan coffee (ooh priiiide) and that fresh ground home made coffee.
Why is most of the world addicted to coffee, and it's acceptable? It is a drug after all. And yet, smoking a big no-no? Then again, smoke from cigarettes pollutes and it stinks. >_>
I don't know if you girls realize how many calories are in those frapaccinos. It shocked the hell out of me.
That's what I'm saying. Coffee is not so great --- it smells better than it actually is and yet we continue to brew it day in and day out or go buy it. An we buy a cup from those people who make a better cup than we can brew in our Mr. Coffee machines at home as long as they supply us with creamers and sprinklers to put into to take bitterness away.Quote:

Or to put it this way:
cigarette smoke = good smells,
or cigarettes = heart disease, lung cancer and stroke?
