Starbucks overrated?!


Question: Does anyone else think that Starbucks is overrated? I mean I know they have good drinks but it's overpriced. To me Starbucks is just really trendy and people think they're "cool" for going there. Please don't tell me if you're a Starbucks fan. I know there are many of you out there!

i wont drink there. 5 bucks for a cup of mediocre coffee is ridiculous. Tim Hortons > all in both taste and price.

overpriced overrated overroasted

Coffee, in general, is overrated.

it really is

While it's overpriced, I don't think it's overrated.

It's over rated and not even good coffee. If you have that many stores, you can't control quality that well.

My friend shows up every week with a cup of starbucks and ask why. He said he likes the smell, but one sip, and he tosses it. Most people in AMerica don't know what real coffee should taste like, but tolerates it. People only go to Starbucks because people think it's good coffee and they like the atmospere.

starbucks is really overrated and it is just a fad or some **** people go there and order there 5 dollar coffee sit with there laptop and act like their sophisticated

at times i do. i argee they are WAY overpriced. my little sister and i were at Coconut Point in Estero (HUGE mall) and we were by a starbucks. she wanted a hot choco so i got her 1 and it was 3 bucks for a cup the size of her hand! (shes 6)

yeah they are pricey,i stopped being a regular and switched to Timmy's ,it's only 1.50.
But every now and then,when i have 4.50 with nothing to spend it on ,i still crave one of their lattes and break down and get one,damm them!!
even though Timmy's is 3 to 1,i still go there occasionally
even Brittney takes her fat asss there every day,even though she knows it's going to be a huge scene

absolutely overrated, their coffee tastes like hot water with milk in it, their cakes look so over the top that I haven't even bothered having one, and the service (well the one I have been to in Sydney, Australia anyway) was pathetic. To be fair to them I only have been there 3 times but each time I was very disappointed considering all the hype we had heard about starbucks and how great the coffee was. Gloria Jeans or Jamaica Blue or even my favourite little barista at Bar Piazza locally top starbucks a hundred times over. and thanks for asking because I have wanted to say that for so long, pathetic I know but coffee is very important to me, it has to be right.

The coffee is over roasted, then over brewed, then left on the heat too long.
and on top of that it's WAY over priced!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want trendy go to a night club!

Yes, I agree it is overrated. Doesn;t mean I don;t enjoy one every now and then, but I would rather get a coffee from Wawa or Dunkin donuts. Much better bang for the buck, and not so "frou-frou".

No it is not overrated, i think it is great place to get coffee, have a happy new year
