I for one am not sad about a few shuttered Starbucks (although I'm sorry for those who lose their jobs). Lose your local Starbucks? Try one of your local independents instead! Fioza in Meyerland, Dirk's on Rice campus, Dietrich's on Montrose (yes it IS locally owned and independent now)... Or stop by the farmer's market at Discovery Green on Sundays and pick up some fresh locally roasted beans for the house! DISCLOSURE - shameless plug ahead.

Growing to 220 locations after rebranding? Crap, I never thought I'd say bank locations were too convenient! 111 locations?

I've noticed that about 75% of the time, when I order my coffee -- always a grande bold -- they have to brew it fresh, since all the other coffee-ordering customers are getting the house blend or Pike Place. I wonder if they'll be cutting my beloved bold next. O_o I never understood the appeal of decaf coffee in the first place, but that’s just me.
