Advantages: Great coffee, nice surroundings Disadvantages: Expensive
Starbucks is a global coffee house chain; in fact it's the biggest coffee house company in the world. It was founded in 1971 in Seattle, Washington, and now has over 15,000 stores in 44 countries. It enjoyed a huge expansion in the 1990's which included its first chain outside North America (Tokyo in 1996) and the first UK Starbucks in 1998.
As well as coffee, Starbucks sell a wide variety of beverages including Hot Chocolate, Fruit Smoothies and bottled water. They also sell snacks such as muffins, caramel shortbread as well as healthier alternatives such as yogurt and 'skinny' muffins. To me, the prices overall are a little expensive, but I pay them because no-one makes coffee like they do!

In the summer (as short as they are) Starbucks makes up for a loss of coffee sales by peddling un fairly delicious iced drinks like pomegranate and raspberry smoothies or Vanilla Fresccato?s Do we ever stand a chance of recovery???
*Cakes and Treats ? Average between £1.30 and almost £3.00
Cakes and Treats are delivered to the stores daily to meet the users needs. They have an array of muffins, cakes, biscuits and pastries with low fat, nut free, gluten free, dairy free options that still manage to maintain taste. The Skinny Lemon and Poppy Seed Muffin is a killer for me.
*Sandwiches, Wraps and Salads ? Average from £2 ...

Advantages: Nice sized cups of tea Disadvantages: Pricey, no comfey seats, no trays
Created in the 1970's, Starbucks must be one of the most famous world-wide coffee chain. It is quite comforting in a way to know that no matter where in the world you are going, there is a good chance that you will find a Starbucks - comforting if it is something that you are used to.
In Inverness where I live there are 2 Starbucks stores, one is in the shopping centre in town, and the other is located within a Borders bookshop store in the town. I do not know what the one in town is like, although when I am passing it I quite often see mothers with children in it so it must be quite child-friendly.
I often visit the one within the Borders bookshop, mainly because there is nowhere else to go at the retail park just for a coffee. I was in Starbucks today actually and because it is located within another store it is not a huge ...
