I agree with you about the whole experience... although I hardly ever get coffee - usually an iced venti black tea (they ALWAYS ask me if I want lemonade and I ALWAYS say no...). My usual drink when it's not +30 out is the nonfat or soy chai... grande or venti depending on what I feel like. :) Mmmm…. lemon raspberry loaf… my favourite :) Still looking for a recipe somewhere…

Mind you sometimes, I had to get the staff to check the women's bathroom before we took it over and had the changing table and 3 stalls all to ourselves! That was only if the men's bathroom did not have a changing table. I like SBUX because when I had the 2 year-old in tow, I could always count on a changing table in the bathrooms.
