Starbucks: My Thoughts
I'm sure that everyone, at least, knows the name, Starbucks. Yes, Starbucks. The home of the expensive, great-tasting, and irresistible coffee. Starbucks also offers a great atmosphere to its customers. When you walk in, you can't help but get the sense of relaxness and comfort. Starbucks truly is an icon for coffee shops world-wide.
Stepping outside of Starbucks for a moment, everyone has their own favorite drinks. Some can't get enough of their soda of choice, for others, they never get anything else but their particular flavor of Gatorade. Well, everyone definitely has their choices in coffee/teas when it comes to Starbucks (or any coffee shop for that matter). For instance, my uncle never forgets to mention the drink Chai Tea when talking about Starbucks. A lot of people, only go to Starbucks to get a Frappuccino or hot chocolate. And of course, there are those that never stray from the regular blend of Starbucks original coffee.
Personally, I'm a HUGE fan of the new addition to their line of Tazo Teas, the Vanilla Rooibos flavor. It really is a great companion to my relaxation/study time. The tea has a really smooth, rich, and warming taste to it. I sure hope that this tea isn't just around for a limited time, because I could see myself drinking this particular Tazo for a while....
One of the things that makes Starbucks so successful has to be the extra food/drink they offer, along with the places to sit inside/outside of the store. Two weeks ago, I met someone for a career advice meeting at Starbucks. We were able to sit down to a nice, relaxing environment and enjoy our coffee while making conversation. That has to be a crucial part of Starbucks' business strategy.

You write really well, with a lot of detail and description. Good job!
Great article! I'm a big coffee drinker, but Wawa is my brand of choice. However if I am ever in New York City, I usually find myself at a Starbucks.
Yeah, totally I would agree with you, although there is a Pete's Coffee around my school I usually get my coffee from Starbucks or Costco! i bet someone who's reading this is like, " Costco does not sell coffee!" well the one that I live around has Mocha Fraps, and Lattes. and i think the thing I like the best is the cost its around $2.00 while the Starbucks one is about $3.50+, while in my opinion the taste is the exact same!
This was a fantastic article, I myself am a big Starbucks drinker. (Mostly by default) But you really can't beat a vanilla latte.
