If you work in an office in just about any downtown, odds are there’s a Starbucks in the lobby or with a block or two

The cream cheese pumpkin muffins are good too. Tried the chocolate cherry scone last weekend at a bookstore and it was very good.

It was all good when they didn't add the pumpkin seeds on top. It's a weird texture thing for me now.

There's one at the lobby level and on the 26th floor of my building. And one across the street.

But there is also a Peet's in the building next door that's a little better IMO.

ETA - I actually don't know if any of them survived Covid. My office has been closed to everyone but IT staff since April.

Starbucks is flat out awful and I will never, ever give them one more dime of my money. They are the coffee equal to FaceBook.

Oh wow fortunately I haven’t experienced this one

I don’t even like cream cheese but that blob of it in the middle of that warm pumpkin bread sets it off.

They do have a good earl grey don’t they

It's like they don't toast when they bake the muffin, so they are weirdly chewy. It is good otherwise.

Indeed. English breakfast as well. I like some of their summer refresher drinks with the coconut milk.

I pretty much drink anything but the coffee.

They got rid of their nutrition builder where you can customize your drink online and it spits out the calories. So for that, they are dead to me.

Paying with cash and watching them try to figure out how much change to give me back is great entertainment first thing in the morning.


If your bill is say, $4.67 and you give them a $10 and 67 cents and watch the expression

They put the scanner through the window. I asked what if you pay with cash? She said they go and wash their hands right after.

I think Im going to pay in coins from now on.


So, you spend your day with this bothering you? This?

The only refresher I'm not crazy about is the green kiwi one (Star Drink I think).
