Advantages: Great views, great atmosphere, great coffee Disadvantages: A bit expensive
Everybody knows Starbucks, the largest coffee house in the world. I am going to review the one in St Katharine's Dock in London as this is my nearest and dearest.
I think Starbucks is rather like marmite, you either love it or you hate it. Some people hate the fact that they have to pay £3 for a cup of coffee, other people can't get enough. I am definitely in the second camp, I am a Starbucks fan. I think what has captured the world is their relationship with coffee, they like to think of their stores as a "third place", ie the third place you go in this world after home and work and I think it is this attitude that produces the friendly asmosphere and sense of belonging that their houses promote.

I know a lot of people don't like it and they think the coffee is too sickly etc, but I do like the sweetness. I don't like black coffee so ...

Advantages: Addictive, costly and taking over the world Disadvantages: good coffee, good service, good selection...
a school for a community that would otherwise have none.
On an environmental impact basis, Starbucks use less packaging and recycled products wherever possible including all salad and sandwich packaging which is fully compostable. They also promote conservation in the countries where their coffee is grown coffee-growing countries.
Of course, there is the concern that more efforts could be made to promote fair trade and that much of the corporate responsibility efforts are simply an effort to look good to the users?I?m saying nothing.
The Product and cost
