What People Are Saying About Starbucks

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.

I'm not sure exactly what the previous reviewer meant by half full but as a former barista, I feel the need to explain that a cappuccino should be half milk and espresso and half foam.... therefore the cup should feel half empty. Also, I'm not sure if the reviewer was complaining about the 1/4 foam because it was too little or too much.... again a cappuccino SHOULD have half foam. A latte contains 1/4 foam... and you can ask for no foam if you like. If you want a full cup of milk and espresso - order a latte with no foam.

the capuccino (sp?) i bought was half full, and 1/4 of foam. i had asked them to fill up my cup and they just looked at me and added milk without a smile and they said that is what a capuccino is rudely and ruined my capuccino. i havent been there since then, but i hope those two bartenders left.(this was during the spring of 2005.

The Starbucks logo, a two-tailed mermaid, was based on a 16th century Norse woodcut, and supposed to be as seductive as coffee itself.
