I havent been to Starbucks in months. It just doesnt make sense to fork out $5 bucks (pardon the pun) for java.

Starbucks is overrated but their expresso is the best I have found other then a few local Italian Cafe's hidden in Phillie....as for DD, it's franchise b.s. with coffee that compares to WAWA's daily grind....at least it's an affordable wake up...all that extra milk premix crap is fake and fattening
