Ever heard the saying: ""Coffee: It's not an addiction, it's a way of life."" Starbucks really is that way. It's not all about the coffee, although once you get used to it, you'll never go back. Starbucks is an atmosphere, a landmark, and a comforting sight to Seattlites. Every Starbucks is similar in atmosphere but has enough of a difference to not become mundane. I love it that I can walk into any Starbucks, even when on vacation halfway across the country, and feel like I am at home.
Pros: make to spec's, one on every corner, dependable
Cons: long lines
