QUESTION: When was the last time you went to Starbucks?
Talk about it.
Within the last 2 weeks, but not for coffee, I didn’t bring lunch to work, I like their croissant ham and cheese sandwich. I don’t drink much coffee, with the medication I take for my back coffee makes my stomach burn. If I do drink coffee it is usually a latte or Frappuccino, I like their peppermint mocha latte. When working late I liked to get a latte, but Starbucks at Sun Valley closed down so that is not an option. When I drive down to LA I like to stop at Starbucks. Besides their croissants sandwich they have other sandwiches, especially for breakfast that I like.
I don’t eat, or in this case, drink junk food. Fancy overly priced, and extra sweet coffee
doesn’t do anything for me. If I drink coffee, I like it strong and unadulterated.
In September for a free drink.
About 2 months ago – Clayton Station – very busy but in & out pretty fast
What’s the fastest way to get Starbucks in less than a minute?
Tell the barista that your name is Fire. Everyone will run outside as soon as your name is called.
Astronauts use what kind of currency?
Starbucks.
About 15 years ago to get a cup of hot chocolate while watching a Christmas parade in Oakland. I’ve never drank coffee.
When they stopped making decaf coffee to serve.
Now they brew it by the cup and it’s so flavorless.
But I have always preferred Peet’s since early 2000’s.
Don’t need the fancy drinks with all the calories.
5 years ago. All the drinks are overpriced.
I cant stand starbucks coffee, id rather go to peets or philz coffee.
but since concord has 10 starbucks shops they sure are all over the place.
I only go to one when if its the only choice.
never.
My last visit to Starbucks was sometime before 2020. I don’t have any interest in specialty coffees, and they cost too much for my taste. My youngest sister seems addicted to Starbucks and would send her husband out to get her a cup for breakfast and probably other times of the day. Oddly enough, they’re now divorced.
… I think it was June 2023.
Right before Christmas. I only drink coffee black and the darker the better, so I was getting their clover drinks until those become unavailable. Their Vertica machine does a fairly good job though and fast. But I usually go there to link up with friends and maybe go for a walk afterwards. But I can make a press coffee at home which is hard to beat.
Starbucks was supposed to recreate the experience of the coffee places in Europe but really never did.
I can’t remember. Who was president before Obama?
Around then.
2010 when I worked for a corporation and was with the group on a tour of several facilities.
They always took a coffee break there.
I never liked Sbux coffees much. Always too strong & bitter…. Ptooie!
