They are really expensive thats why I have never tried it. I have heard that it was really good though. If I am going to spend $5 on a drink I would rather goto Orange Julius! Just MO though.

I love love LOVE their Caramel Macchiatos! Yummm.. Otherwise, their coffee is okay, but it gives me gut rot sometimes. I love Uncommon Grounds, and Second Cup. Starbucks is just convenient, as it's located in the Student Union building at Dal

It's expensive, but I like it. I usually get a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino, or a Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino. yummyz0rz.

Starbucks used to use real espresso machines but now they have what it essentially a vending machine for their staff to use. It produces the grossest espresso that is completely devoid of crema. They also have no idea how to foam milk.
If you want a real espresso with milk that is foamed the right way then check out Just Us (they use a small Marzocco FB70...the best espresso machine made by man, ever)...then walk up to Starbucks to enjoy their nice interior.  |

I enjoy stopping in when we're at Chapters - get a good magazine and enjoy a coffee. Of course, it all depends on what kind of mood my kids are in.
My wife used to work at Starbucks - they treat their employees really well for a coffee shop - the free pound of coffee a week was wicked, too.

GUESS I WON'T BE DRINKING STARBUCKS ANYMORE
Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let
them know how much they liked their coffees and to request that they
send some of it to the troops there.
Starbucks replied, telling the Marines thank you for their support of
their business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor anyone
in it, and that they would not send the troops their brand of coffee.
So as not to offend Starbucks, maybe we should not support them by
buying any of their products!
As a war vet writing to fellow patriots, I feel we should get this out
in the open. I know this war might not be very popular with many folks,
but that doesn't mean we don't support the boys on the ground fighting
street-to-street and house-to-house for what they and I believe is
right.
Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again
when I deploy once more.
