Another Inspired-by-Starbucks Starbucks

1. Joe Bar better hide their crepe recipes.

2. they got so much free publicity for the first one, why not another?! starbucks didn’t become starbucks by being stupid.

3. how come people don’t protest like this when other chain stores open branches around seattle? why the hatred of our local multinational starbucks? there are much worse companies out there than them…

4. Damn you Starbucks for providing Seattle your corporate headquarters that provide nice salaires!! Take you asses out of here!! And take your jobs with you!!!

   DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!!!!!!

5. One good thing about corporate cafes is that they are more likely to hire a diverse staff. The locally owned cafes tend to hire just one basic look. Cute and fuckable, I mean “hipsteresque”. That’s not too bad, but things can be shaken up at some locales.

6. All the independents can thank Starbucks for creating a market for good coffee. I love them all.

7. This will totally ruin the boarded-up slum ambience of north Broadway.

8. Thank god something’s happening to North Broadway besides empty storefronts rotting down to their foundations.

9. Well, that will make it the 25,000th coffee shop in the city of Seattle. Big deal.

10. The blind hatred towards starbucks has never made sense to me. I don’t even like there coffee, but who really gives a shit? They are routinely ranked one of the best places to work, yet somehow people want to demonize them? Who do you think created the coffee shop phenomenon that all these independent stores feed off of?

11. @5: You’re dissing fuckable baristas? I don’t quite go to Seattle coffeeshops for the coffee…

12. No, I fucked them all, I need some turnover.

13. #7 FTW

14. I vote the next one to my neighborhood. Really. I had to take the light rail all the way downtown to find a Starbucks. I didn’t have time to make coffee this morning, or presence of mind to pre-set the machine. I did have $2 in my pocket and nowhere (within 1 mile) to spend it!

15. Wait, we’re still talking about this? Seriously?

16. BTW, the Starbucks that are outside of downtown tend to be better. The service is not nearly as faked and they are better at getting drink orders right.

    Starbucks at 35th and 73rd in Wedgewood: YOU FUCKING ROCK!!!

17. Could they please market this new gimmick somewhere that actually lacks an independent coffee shop? Or just retool the Starbucks they already have 2 blocks away? We already have Joe Bar and Vivace in North Broadway. The attempt to chip into Joe Bar’s Harvard Exit/ Cornish clientele is more on the corporate side than on the neighborly side if you ask me.

18. @Fnarf: First they came for our slums, and I said nothing…

19. I’m confused — I thought the world ended the last time they did this.

20. I hope they try to fit in by buying and/or copying the Jade Pagoda. That place needs to come back. I think I might go to a creepy, run-down Chinese restaurant-themed Starbucks.

21. The old Jade Pagoda’s door was cracked open when I walked past it this morning to work. Ghosts of alcoholics past floated out from the nicotine stained interior.

22. @10: Try opening a dictionary.

23. If you don’t like it. Don’t go.

24. HOLY SHIT, Did you see that this specific coffee shop made the national NBC Nightly News?? Thats kinda strange

25. With Joe Bar and VIvace so close and awesome…why would you go to such a place?

26. That part of the Hill will be just humming with activity next year… or maybe rumbling and grinding and rattling is a better description.

27. LOL @ people defending Starbucks

28. @ 10, you’re a dope. There was PLENTY of coffee shop phenomenon in Seattle before $tarbuck$ decided to open up everywhere.

    Try to understand the topic before commenting in the future, kthxbye

29. NO ONE EVER HIRED BY A COFFY SHOPPE WITH EXCEPTION OF THAT ONE GURL AND THAT GUY AND THAT OTHA GURL AND MAYBE HURR HAZ EVAH INSPIRED FUCK-LUST IN ME.

    HATE-FUCK, ALWAYS. SO MANNY FIERY PROJECT BURNING HATE FUCKZ.
