So naturally I ordered my standard grande cappuccino and then we walked on while I let it cool. I have a picture of this drink below. Tell me if you can figure out what is wrong with this picture.
Notice the silky smooth texture and complete lack of actual coffee in the drink. LOL, I took two sips of the sweetest steamed milk you ever had. But sadly, there was no espresso in there. When I went back to Gwendolyn to request the coffee in my coffee, she seemed less than pleased. That makes two of us.
Mrs. Darkroasted also got her standard caramel macchiato and then rapidly declared it was baby steps from diner coffee. I am afraid this is just one more example of how the phrase, "we proudly brew Starbucks," doesn't mean anything if the baristas behind the counter also work cash register nine when things get busy.
I rarely ever get a bad drink from a stand-alone Starbucks, but these in-store deals are a bit of a roller coaster ride. What's your experience? Give me your comments.
Merry Christmas everyone and watch out for counterfeit Starbucks. :-)

The ones in Barnes and Noble seem to still be good.
They are ok to me. I actually have the best luck at the road side stops along major highways. Go figure.
It's funny, actually, because I'm pretty sure the baristas at both imbedded starbucks and roadside stops are not starbucks employees, but are employed by target, b&n, or whatever company the rest stops are. That might explain why they never have the best starbucks-tasting coffee.
so funny I love the coffee even I can drink it all day it is so delicious
