Starbucks
Coffee. What can
be said about Starbucks? Some people think it's too strong, but they
don't know real coffee. The flavor is so intense and the caffeine kick
so strong that it's the most addictive thing you can buy legally. My
favorite, the caramel macchiato, is a latte with thick caramel sauce
added on top. Be sure to try a frappachino in the summer or the egg
nog latte in winter.
Tully's
Coffee. An upstart
Seattle based chain of around 100 stores, Tully's holds the distinction
of being founded by the brother of a friend of mine in the early 90s.
The setup is hard to distinguish from Starbucks. They have some interesting
coffee varieties, such as Baseball Blend and Pine Coffee.
Seattle's
Best Coffee. Another well-known
local chain that's recently been swallowed up by Starbucks. Also known
as SBC.
Peet's
Coffee. This is actually
a Berkeley, Ca. based company, and sort of the anti-Starbucks. They've
even been around longer, and have opened up a few stores in the Seattle
area. A milder cup than Starbucks, and good for a change of pace.
