Starbucks, Dublin

I think when starbucks first struck dublin we seen it as the most amazing coffee shop ever, just because it was american, and when we go to America, we see it there. Then all of a sudden it appeared here. There is nothing wrong with starbucks, I admit at the beginning I was totally in awe by the cool american coffee shop, but i soon realised it was completly over priced in comparison to some much nicer, less crowded coffee shops. You can never get a seat and end up hiting into someone and up ending your coffee all over your self. Not my cup of tea, or well coffee. :)

Not to go into the economic and social dispicablity of the Starbucks school of franchise and fiscal bullying, but they must be doing something right if they can get us to pay between three and five euros for half a cup of milk and an eggcup of coffee. They’re selling image, and we’re buying it. Don’t bother staying in the decidedly uncomfortable and badly decorated 'cafe’ area, you’ve paid top price for 15 minutes worth of trotting around with a white paper cup - use it.

I love starbucks and love all the coffee except espresso, too strong for my taste. There is a lovely cafe atmosphere, quite chic, just like other starbucks, staff do their job and not float around you interfering, families, friends, proffesionals, couples anyone can go starbucks. However what I find with starbucks is that they can be a little over priced, I mean I think they should reconsider prices but hey for a great coffee why not:)
