Is CC's a poser hangout

for people who want to pretend to like coffee but don't really like the taste? Perhaps a place for people who like the idea of hanging out at a coffee house, but aren't really huge coffee fans?


Curious... I drive through a bit ago to get some ice coffee and asked for just a basic simple syrup as a sweetener, but was told they don't have any, but they do have flavored syrups instead. Told her don't sweat it. I'm heading to the house and I have some in my fridge.

Now, I know that Perks, Starbucks, and PJs all have simple syrups with which to sweeten their ice coffee, but it seems just a bit odd to drive up to a coffee house that serves ice coffee and they don't have anything but syrups to mask the flavor of the coffee as sweeteners, and don't get me started on their mochas which are more like hot chocolate than anything resembling coffee by the sheer volume of chocolate they put in it.

Anyway, I really want to support local and am a long time Community Coffee Dark Roast drinker, but sometimes they sure can make it difficult. Does anybody else find this when going to CCs?
