Starbucks Bad

Friday, October 5th, 2007

Actually, other than their prices, they’re really quite nice. A fancy new standalone shop just opened down the street from me (on route 11, next to the Rite Aid, formerly Eckerd, formerly Sweetheart Market…) Good thing we’re moving to the other side of town in the near future.

Yesterday, I went in for the first time. Very nice interior. Lots of comfy chairs that I could see myself whiling away many hours in. Really like the marble mosaic tell backsplash behind the counter.

Today, I hit up the drive thru. Oh man, that’s convenient. At 6am, there were no cars in line, so the entire drink acquisition took only 45 seconds. Geez, I have to bar myself from doing that again, I could get used to that way too easily and go broke draining cup after cup of their delicious coffee.

Panera Crispani, Thumbs Up.

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

Been meaning to try Panera Bread’s new Crispani pizzas. Picked a couple on the way home from work last night. I had the sausage/apple, it was very good. Sandy had the roasted mushroom. I had a bite of hers and that was also dynamite as well. Size-wise, they’re comparable to a personal flatbread from unos. 2 pizzas was $19.42. Thumbs up.

I was kinda bummed when they said it would be a 20 minute wait. But, they give you an order marker and have you take a seat at a table. I was wishing I brought something to read. I used the time to get acquainted with the gmail mobile client on my phone a proceeded to get caught up on some mail stuff. 15 minutes later, I was pleasantly surprised when someone came out with my pizzas and I was on my way.

I also saw they offer free WiFi. Looking forward to whiling away some weekend time there with my laptop in the near future.
