In Short – For many, getting their daily jolt of java has become a daily morning ritual, and the cardboard cup with its infamous green label is the close companion of every coffee aficionado. Busy baristas work seamlessly behind the bar, juggling orders for their strongly-brewed drips and signature hot and cool beverages. While providing a wide selection of coffee specialties, pastries and various coffee related goods, patrons are invited to settle down in comfy armchairs and enjoy their favorite brews amid the chatter of the laidback yet caffeinated crowd.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Purchase a Starbucks customer card and use it to receive fun rewards, like a free tall beverage when you buy a pound of coffee beans.
- Fun Fact:
- The Starbucks logo, a two-tailed mermaid, was based on a 16th century Norse woodcut, and supposed to be as seductive as coffee itself.

Excellent Starbucks store but very busy in the morning
by tennesseephil at Citysearch
This is an excellent Starbucks store, but it is located directly across from Vanderbilt University, so it is very busy serving students and faculty in the morning. The staff is friendly and efficient. The coffee is good. They have a nice seating area that includes four armchairs around a fireplace. They also have a nice outside eating area. Parking can be a challenge -- especially in the morning. Overall, this is an excellent store, just be prepared for a line if you show up in the morning.
- Pros: Friendly and efficient staff, good coffee, nice seating area with fireplace
- Cons: Always a line in the morning, parking is limited and often unavailable in morning

Evil Empire
by rmporcello at Citysearch
Somehow Starbucks has convinced the world that it makes good coffee. I don't get it! The coffee is aweful, the atmosphere isn't much better. Why do people like this place? This rating is like saying McDonald's has the second best hamburger in town. This place has no character, no soul. It's just mass merketed, mass produced junk. But maybe people like it because the evil empire has robbed them of their character and soul.
- Cons: No soul, Bad coffee, Evil empire

Starbucks sucks
by dflueg at Citysearch
If you enjoy burnt coffee, go to Starbucks. Most reputable roasters would use these burnt beans for espresso. Starbucks is fine for a latte, mocha, or anything made with espresso. Just stay away from their regular coffee. Go to Bongo Java, Fido, or Sam & Zoe's.

StarBucks is a good but overexpensive coffee, and I find the best cup of coffee at Arby's it was full flavored with body. I really can't believe people are paying such outrageous prices for mud.
