Seriously. Starbuck's, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Peet's... they're all good, all using high-end beans. There's nothing to choose between them for quality of brew, every one of 'em knows their stuff, and the little independent places are as good. Their sole advantage is they can market bumper stickers that say "Friends don't let friends drink Starbuck's" which I just find cheerfully capitalistic and vibrantly competitive.
