I'd be lying if I said I'm not a devout Starbuckian. I worked there for a few years and have been loyal ever since.

However, I did see a decline in the quality of the overall feel of the place. I started at the very end of manual espresso machines...the kind that make a coffee house smell so good. I understand why and am thankful they switched to automatic machines. It helped with speed. What I didn't like was when they started with the sandwiches, and chotchkies. I love their merchandise but now I see little frames and notepads. I'm old fashioned. I just want mugs!

I think they're definitely on the right track to getting how they used to be. I love the logo and the new roast. I have faith! Rumor has it they are taking the sandwiches away...
