Ugh, it's like how the Fishtown neighborhood page was so excited that a Starbucks was moving in. There are a bunch of great, local places all over, but when that Starbucks opened, the drive-thru line was constantly out of the parking lot and onto Aramingo.

To be fair 90% of those coffee shops in fishtown close at 3-4pm

And don’t open until 8am.

Yeah that’s the other problem. I’m up before they are open so I go to what’s open and I’m home after they close. On weekends I’ll go to a coffee shop but that again depends on if they are open.

I don’t see your comment of “here’s an idea make your own coffee, or is that not in your wheel house”

It is. I actually do make my own coffee. French press, Chemex or a mocha master. I do enjoy coffee but sometimes I’m just not home. I was just responding to the comment of why are people excited about a Starbucks. Just have my answer of its open and reliable. But to each there own sorry if you got hate for commenting.

Still like that every morning. Then they drive across the street to sit in the CVS drive thru. Maybe hit the Wendy's too. Fishtown loves a drive thru.

I will say a few points in favor of Starbucks. It's open before I start work and after I end it, while no other non-corporate coffeeshop seems willing to do either. They are never out of anything at 9am. They don't randomly close. They have bathrooms. They are fast. Their coffee is waaaay better than Dunkin and sometimes better than the boutique coffee shops too. They will fund employees' college educations.

This sounds very hail corporate, but Starbucks has always been pretty good imo.
