I'm just curious, are there as many Starbuck's in the UK as there are here in America? I know the English are
big tea drinkers, but what about coffee? Do you like it or not? Do you have a Starbuck's on practically every other block like we do?
Answers:
You tend to see alot of them around London, but it isn't quite as bad as in the US. I personally find the coffee over-rated, and I'm a huge coffee lover. Much prefer to brew my own in a french press.
The UK has more of them than you see in Europe, mostly because of the point you made. Unlike places like France, Italy, Germany, there's not much of a coffee house tradition here.
Probably not, I've seen a few, mostly in the cities I've visited but, been to one recently in one of our larger towns, so perhaps they are just testing the market at the moment and expanding as they do.
BTW I much prefer coffee, tea is for wimps :)
Hey. is this question part of their marketing stratagy, do you work for Starbucks? :p
Not all english drink tea! We prob have just as many coffee drinkers as tea. I live in cyprus and we have loads over here which is great as i love their coffee.
According to the Starbucks website, a search of stores in the United Kingdom brings up 462.
Quite a few, but it seems like there are that many in Las Vegas alone! :-)
We have one in our town, there maybe two, but I'm not sure! Love the coffee shops!
starbucks are everywhere, and I still think they serve lousy coffee, I know I'm probably the only one that thinks this way, but I still stick to my guns
nop not stupid enough to fork out stupid money for coffee that's why there in the US ye all stupid enough and lazy enough to pay 3 to 4 bucks for a cup of coffee
In London there's one on every other corner. Same here in Bangkok. I love the-very fattening- Frappuccinos.. and the Caramel Macchiato.
strarbucks are in major cities and most towns but they havent reached smaller town yet -macdonalds and kfc have got to smaller town as well though
They started this craze a few years ago but it never really took off in the UK. I think you can still get Starbucks in the larger cities wherever there are "office workers". But in common with anything which is percieved as too "American", the coffee craze never really caught on.
The price may have been a disincentive, too. Also- amusingly- UK people do not like to be confronted with too many confusing "choices" when buying tea or coffee.
In London there are loads of them, and usually in the cities there are at least 1 starbucks, I love their coffee, much better that Cafe Nero (Way too strong in there) and Costa Coffee, also too strong
erm,near where I work there are loads,but no where in my home town
