nakitty Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 My drink is a triple short 4 pump Cinnamon Dulce Latte.....mmmmmm Sometimes...on REALLY hot days I will get a Iced Venti quad 6 pump Caramel Macchiato....mmmmmmm Starbucks isn't that convenient for me so I usually go to my local stand...where they make me a perfect 8 oz triple shot 4 pump Hazelnut latte...99% of the time! LOL As far as I know the Starbucks locations in my town are all safe...but this has me wondering about the store I worked for back in St. Louis....I should call my boss!:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marple Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yes, ours is closing. It was rather ambitious to open one here when we already have 3 coffee shops (in addition to all the little mom & pop cafes) in a town with population of about 20,000. And now the nearest will be about 30 minutes away (Tulsa or Owasso). But it's OK, because I like my coffee (ordered from Costa Rica) much better than anything these shops make.

Michelle T Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 but I do enjoy their hot chocolate with a shot of peppermint. A couple nearby are closing, but there are still several left. We actually prefer Coffee Kiosk, a local chain. DS loves ice blended coffee drinks. DH loves those green tea lattes, or something like that!

Mom to Aly Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Nothing in the world withing walking distance here, just south of Richmond, VA. One, and a B&N within five min, two more within 7 min & two more in stores within 8 min. My fave drink was Toffee Nut Latte, but with diabetes it is now skinny latte, venti, with 3 pumps sugar free vanilla, 3 pumps sugar free mocha. Here's a tip for those who like iced--I get a venti, 100 degree, no whip, no foam, latte, and a venti glass full of ice, no water. I pour the 100 degree latte over the ice--it melts the ice a bit, making it not quite as strong (I don't fill it quite as full and add a bit more cold milk). If you do this twice, it gives you exactly two venti iced drinks--you can share or have two drinks for the price of one (if I'm really good, I'll save one for the next day)! Or, if you just want one, a tall hot drink (again, get it 100 degrees, or it melts all the ice and makes it too weak) makes a venti iced drink. See, being short of cash does breed ingenuity :).

Prairie~Phlox Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I don't like coffee, nor do I like paying big $$ for a beverage. I save my money so I can spend it on decent haircuts. Everyones priorities are different! Phlox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Maybe that trend will spread eventually too. I don't know of any small, local roasters that have coffee shops in this area. I can think of a couple that are 30 minutes or more away, but not in a convenient spot. All I know is, the last time I was back East (Boston), people out there thought Dunkin' Donuts coffee was the bomb. Something is just not right about that.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJN Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 months ago and it's the one they are closing. I wonder why they spent the money to build it in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
