Advantages: Good coffee Disadvantages: Starbucks is the same all over th world, try something local while you can!
This will be a short review because like every other chain restaurant it dosn't matter where you are in the world - your in a Starbucks. I have nothing against them but if you are gong to travel then it's probably best to see the sights, have coffee in a tapas bar at Plaza Major, or in Parque de Retiro over looking the lake?! Madrid has so much to offer, excellent shopping, amazing architecture and so much history. In the three years I have lived here I haven't once been to a Starbucks.
Sure the coffee is great, it's relaxing and it's comforting to be somewhere you know but don't spend all that money on flights and hotels just to visit a coffee shop that you can go to everyday at home!! ...
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.

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...
anything your heart desires here as far as hot drinks going including hot chocolate, specialty teas and a sea of different flavourings for your drinks.
*Fresccatos and Smoothie type things ? Between £2.55 and £3.89
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 ...
