Every time I pass by to any STarbucks shop in my country, it is always full! Yeah yeah yeah, when I was young, I made sure that I visited Starbucks like once or even twice a week with my friends. I was kinda addicted to it. I admit their coffee is great. But why do people - particularly to young ones - still buy coffee from them even though it's costly?

I personally prefer SB than others and I will always patronise their shop in my surrounding. Despite it's more costly, however I will be ensured that the quality of the coffee is good and up to my expectations. I conduct meetings and friend's gathering in SB too!

I don't think it's the coffee that draws people to their shop . It's the ambiance, it feels like home , where you can hang out with friends over a nice cup of coffee.

Because it is so yummy! they actually don't have Starbucks where I live, but I still go whenever I go abroad and see a Starbucks. There is just nothing better than their coffee, if you love coffee!

I think Starbucks is poor considering the quality of what you get for the price you pay. Maybe they should rename themselves "Bigbucks" as that would be a more accurate title for them. I think It's like any major brand - clever marketing and hype will always win you some customers. Or maybe lots of people just prefer style over substance?

their coffee is good but Seattle's best is better... for me. :) the thing about Starbucks is that it's a nice place to hangout with your friends. cool music (sometimes) and how they treat their costumers are great. i admit the coffee is kinda pricey but if the partner wants to go to Starbucks then i can't do anything about it but go with her. lol!
