Starbucks - Seattle, WA — 

Being an Atkins dieter I can drink decaf, with heavy cream and sugar free flavoring. So the natural place to go is Starbucks. I live in a relatively Starbucks free part of the country. Only 2 free standing stores and 2 in grocery stores within a 50 mile area. Luckily for me one is across the street from where I work.

What I love is that it seems as though the barristas take time to remember you and your drink. When they see me coming in, they are already reaching for the heavy cream. Its great I just have to tell them what flavor I want that day and I am set.

I also like that they give you a discount if you use your own mug. Granted its just ten cents, but its a discount an it benefits the earth.

I would give them a 5 but I do find that if I have not eaten the coffee "runs right through me, and not in a pleasant way" and I do think their prices are a bit steep.

The coffee is really not that good, but I am convinced that they put something in it to make it really addictive. Sigh.

Can you believe I have never been to a Starbucks that I recall? I have traveled all over and I don't recall ever going to one.That's nuts. lol.
