First thing I noticed was that the staff have changed. Why did they do that?
Second thing, what the hell did they do to the coffee? It tastes flat and weak. Their common venti latte is actually quite good, and beats out most cafes easily, but today, what the hell?
Maybe I have been spoiled by Stassis awesome lattes to the point that Starbucks has become crap? Although I did have a very good Starbucks cup a week ago, from another location in the city.
The prime benefit from SB for me was that you could easily taste the strong coffee from their ~1L of milk, and it had a nice hit, this is something I have only experienced from one other cafe, Stassi, and I have found that quite a few number of cafes do not make good or even okay lattes. The milk gets the better of the coffee. Then again this could be that a lot of places only use light blends, vs medium and heavy.
Please tell me there is a good "big gulp" alternative to SB?
