I go to Starbucks a lot, I practically live there. I actually met my boyfriend there! We've been together for 6 years. Anyways back to Starbucks..there coffee is the best I've had, though expensive. They have very yummy treats as well. It's great that Chapters is right there too (at my location anyways) and it's a nice place to meet friends.
I'll admit that I definitely had a Starbucks problem for a while! Unfortunately, the habit got too expensive and now I just get it as a treat every now and then. There are plenty of low-cal options if you are concerned with such things, which I know I am. Some of my favorites are nonfat lattes (a great source of calcium) and their Cafe Americano with a splash of skim milk and Splenda. I do find their regular coffee to be quite bitter and a little too strong.
Their pastries are to die for! And some of the ones in my area (New York City) have begun offering breakfast sandwiches as well.
I love Starbucks, but not the price (or fat). It's nice to come in once in awhile, possibly while you're at Chapters. The two really do go hand in hand with each other. They have so many great concoctions to choose from. I also enjoy their go-mugs and other take-home purchases like mugs and so forth. I like that some coffees are actually available at Loblaws, so if you don't have a Starbucks near you, you can just go buy one of those if you really want their coffee. It's a fun, cool, trendy, chic atmosphere for a coffee house, but you are paying more for the experience, choices, and quality.
