Plenty of 24 hour Mcdonalds and Wal Marts....there needs to be an abundance of 24 hour Starbucks.

Starbucks is very low quality coffee, laden with pesticides. You can buy much better coffee beans at TJ or WF, buy a little grinder and make your own cup for way less.

Starbucks is not much better than McDonald's coffee, it's just marketed better.

Rockhound, please keep your dysthymia to yourself. There should be 24 hour Starbucks like 24 hour 7-11s, Wawas, etc.


There should be 24 hour Targets everywhere too.

No. Starbucks sucks. Sucker.

I concur, starbucks is a very low quality coffee.

I think 'unsophisticated' and 'clueless ' when i see any one drinking it.

Its for fucking clueless teenagers dressed in north face.

Im sure you hate apple products too

Its a pretentious product for people with self esteem issues. HAsn't been cool since 2005 or so. The wifi is better than the joe.

I could really use a venti caramel macchiato right now.

Eesh/mike,


Im no prima donna about coffee, but if i have a choice its not starbucks.


And yes, Apple is super gay and for the technologically challenged to say the least. Its like seeing an 8 year old and an 80 year old both wearing under armor.

I like extra venti in mine.

So I guess you're a Caribou coffee type of guy?

Quartermaines or Cafe Amouri

And I like turtles, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMNry4PE93Y&feature=youtube_gdata_player

It's not the best but it's far from the worst. Their brewed coffee is not their strongest suit - always tastes burned to me. Their espresso is actually pretty good, although most folks'll never taste it as they sell vastly more lattes than shots. Nothing wrong with lattes (I like them myself, occasionally) but they're milk drinks, not proper coffee.

abelard, tell me about the Ethiopian coffee you used to drink.

A bit more than 1/2 dozen years ago in DC, I used to get my coffee from an Ethiopian coffee place that was about 2 blocks away from the old executive office building. About 1/2 block from the old exec building there was also a Peet's coffee. Both were very good. While the Starbucks were abundant, those two places got my money - especially the Ethiopian place. It was actually in conjunction with a law book store and if you went over to get coffee around noon, you'd see plenty of people eating Ethiopian dishes. Being a carnivore at the time, I really didn't care to stop for a bite, even though it smelled good.

There are a *few* Starbucks locations that are 24 hours. If you look up Richmond, there is one up in Fredericksburg and one down south of Petersburg. Kind of sparse. A few in DC and two out in the 'burbs.

I don't drink coffee anymore, so I don't seek those places out.

sophisticates don't worry about the unsophisticated coffee drinker.

you fake.

Alias, have you ever been to Crossroads Coffee? I like that part of town.

That's too sophisticated for my simple tastes, eesh.

I'm just a country gal.

Wawa has some good coffee....

I don't drink coffee. The last time I drank a cup, I broke a man's nose. (he deserved it and I'd break it again)

Order an Americano. It's espresso stirred into hot water. It gives you the taste of espresso with the consistency of a coffee. Order it with an extra shot of espresso, it's like rocket fuel.

When I want a real blast of caffeine I take four shots of espresso, throw it over a cup of ice and chug. After that, I am Superman (cue some prick to say Superman sucks).

We need more 24 hour everything. Tying business hours to some arbitrary angular position of the Earth is just crazy.

I don't go to Starbucks though because it is too mainstream now. I have switched to drinking battery acid from a quaint little shop down the street from my mom's basement.

Do any of these places sell the coffee that comes out of a cat's ass?

Orange Mocha Frappucinos!!!

Vietnamese coffee is awesome, I love getting it at Pho places. There should me more 24 hour Pho restaurants.

Thai coffee is really good, too. So is Turkish coffee. I like Obama's coffee best, however.

I bought a pound of this stuff when a buddy and I had to crank out a proposal over a weekend. Cost me about $50 shipped from a roaster in London.

Meh. Got the proposal out though, and it got funded.

There are usually hot, pretentious chicks in Starbucks. I like to go just to be a creeper.

I wonder why Starbucks doesn't franchise....maybe to keep consistency or quality control?
