There are 5 Starbucks with in a few hundred yards of my office. Grant it, most aren't real (like the one at Barns N Noble, but if I need a caffeine buzz after a long week (today-20 minutes ago) I can walk outside, cross the street and there is my infinite choice of caffeinated goodness.
If they are busy, I can walk a little more and try the next location. caffeine is my drug of choice and Starbucks is my dealer. Now, I'm not there all time. I do keep a pitcher of Ice tea at work for a cheap fix, but sometimes it's quality over quantity. Here are a few of my drinks and the moods to match:
Ice Tea, Black, unsweet-This is my favorite drink, simple, refreshing good for a hot day, and when I don't want to touch my weightwatcher points. It's my Happy drink.
Iced Carmel Macchiato, non-fat-A little more complex then the tea, but comfortable and filling and also good for a hot day
Caremal Macchiato-A hug in a mug. The ultimate feel good drink. Sweet, with a hint of espresso. hmm...
Hot Caramel Cider-This was great for the fall when I want to remember the leaves that turn color in Michigan and the trips to the apple farm...til SB changed the recipe and started using apple juice instead of cider. Yes, I noticed.
Mocha-Simple, but chocolate is always good and a great mixer with almost any other syrup (french vanilla, raspberry, hazelnut)
Now if only we could a Caribou coffee down here, and I would be in Heaven. All the great coffee and Moose:) (see: another obsession I'm sure I'll write about)
