I was just about to say that

Either the light Caramel Frappuccino or just espresso. I like making my own coffee at home more though. Cafe Bustelo...

I don't drink coffee; I drink diet Coke and Starbucks does not sell diet Coke so I never go there.

the few times i do go to starbucks, i order the house coffee.

i don't want any frip, frap or foam. just the coffee folks, just the coffee.

Our area has too many really good ( better than Starbucks ) local owned and run coffee shops ~ with local made organic grown and made goodies to eat as well

I just prefer to support that over Brand Name ( coffee walmarts ! ) Coffee shops !

What do I order at THEM = "usually nothing"

IF I do go into a coffee shop it's a local owned one NOT a superwalmart "Starbucks" type

I usually always support small local business ~ not chain stores

For me that = better quality on many levels

If others wanna do Starbucks ~ I really don't care ...it's just not my choice for quality coffee or treats

I have never found a locally owned one... Wait, there was one in a small town we lived in, in Kansas... That has been any good... Coffee tastes burnt, syrups are cheap tasting and way to sweet, and dont even get me started on the baked goods I dont see Starbucks as a walmart type myself, just having a good product who was small and became popular so now its global

I LOVE supporting small mom and pop places, but if the stuff is yucky, I cant support it...

I don't go to coffee shops. I don't like coffee.

I think you misunderstand what I am saying.

I am not saying you should go to Starbucks. I am saying you have expressed that you do have coffee shops, local ones, that you will go to as a customer, I get that. Given that the thread topic is not limited to Starbucks or any other chain coffee shop, what is it that you would get at the local stores you do frequent? What kind of drinks, treats, etc. Doesn't have to be a superwalmart type place unless I am reading the original post and thread title wrong.

Edit: And I see you said you order nothing at the ones you do go to...so you can ignore that question, but yeah, I wasn't here to advocate Starbucks or anything. Ain't like they pay me anything.

Asheville is rich in local owned shops & restaurants of all kinds and most all of them are much better than their chain type matches

"usually nothing " meant ~ I Usually dont go into one ...I usually make mine at home ...

BUT the few time I might go in =

Iced coffees ~ whichever combo or flavor suits my mood at the time

A fave is an iced mexican chocolate coffee ~ with some rich whole grain low sugar type of yummy bar
