Starbucks in LSL is full of old guys in need of company, sitting for hours nursing one cup of coffee. With the return of refills, I don’t ever see them going home. That $3 for them ends up being less than $1, after refills.

CFS, coffee is definitely a step up from Foxtail, but I don’t think SS will be a good fit. Middleton may have been a better choice. After eating in three different CFS, it’s not about the $$, the food product became inconsistent, for a chain that’s unusual. Coffee isn’t unique, definitely better than fast food coffee.

I usually get specialty drinks from Starbucks. There are 3 coffee machines on my counter, one was close to $2,000. Yet here I sit with freshly ground Blue Mountain, and Kona in two French Press, waiting for sunrise.
