    I've been coming to this starbucks for the past 4 years and have gotten to know all of the baristas, managers, and have even dedicated a drink here (the historian). I'm usually here once or twice a day... and being mcat prep time, the minute I walk in here around 830, my favorite barista already has a cup ready for me. When I leave for lunch and come back, another barista has a tea ready for me. And around 5 - 6 pm, another barista gives me a cup of coffee.

    I'm not a coffee drinker, so I guess I'm missing out :p

    Perhaps I'll try it, someday, but I'm not really sure. Doesn't do anything for me waking up wise, so I don't see the point. I am tempted to try moving my studying to a place like Starbucks though, getting out of the apartment at school would be nice...

    Not a coffee drinker, eh?. gotta convert you.

    I usually wake up, have a coffee from my lovely keurig.

    I go to the gym, take a shower, have a breakfast, and I'm out the door.

    I have a coffee the minute I get to starbucks.

    I have some tea in the afternoon.

    I have another coffee in the evening, before dinner.

    I have a "nighttime coffee" again.

    ... perhaps I'm a caffeine junkie... but I think HC's got it worse ;)

    Studying/working at Starbucks is great. The music is awesome, the coffee aroma is divine, and the people generally are quite entertaining. I love the coffeeshop atmosphere. :)

    Wow, that's a lot of coffee. Pretty much all I drink now is water (aside from alcohol). I used to drink soda, but decided that I didn't want to drink any calories, it sounds like a waste. (again, aside from alcohol :p)

    Definitely... I can go without coffee with no physical problems (headaches, etc) if I want to, but I just don't want to! I adore the stuff... nectar of the gods in my book.

    Light and sweet

    Black

    Ethiopian, Sumatran

    With cream, without

    Blended, mixed, over ice

    Mmmmm...

    Coffee is the key to my heart, but you knew that already, didn't you Sneezy? ;)

    coffee = calorie free buddy. Well, not really... but a grande cup o coffee is 5 calories. Woo hoo!

    That I didn't know. I should mention that I don't like the taste of coffee unless there is sugar in it though :p

    You should try the Historian... It's a half hazelnut, half vanilla latte... I put an extra shot in mine too... but its really good!

    Yep. And add equal or splenda. Again, calorie free. Woo hoo!

    Bye everyone! Have a good day!

    That's a coffee induced euphoria - it's a beautiful thing...
