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! 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...
-fat cappuccino but I am under no illusions. Recover is a long and arduous process and I depend on the support of family and loved ones.
As hard as it is for me, I have shared my story with you to warn other potential victims. Starbucks doesn?t discriminate. It can get anyone at anytime. You may think you are strong enough to fight it but the truth is Starbucks reduces you to a powerless heap of whipped cream and freshly roasted coffee beans from the very first sniff of their specially blended coffee.

Advantages: Nice sized cups of tea Disadvantages: Pricey, no comfey seats, no trays
I don't like about this particular Starbucks is that when I paid today, I had to take my cake and two cups of tea over to a different area to get milk - which I found hard to do as there seems to be a lack of trays in the store. What I did like was the size of mugs that the teas came in - a regular size comes in quite a large mug.
Price of teas seemed dear but it's probably about average, we were £4.60 for two cups of tea and one cake, although I did notice that there is a big difference in take-away price and sit in price (£1.35 to take away a cake and £1.70 to sit in).
It is a nice clean coffee shop though with a lot of staff working there who seem to know their coffees. ...
