Yeah, about all Mickey D’s coffee is good for is starting a lawsuit. I just moved here from WA state, and you could avoid Starbucks by visiting any one of a number of alternative espresso places on nearly any corner. Now I get out here to NY (Rockland County) and Starbucks is the only place I’ve found that sells espresso. If someone could enlighten me as to where else to get a good cup of great coffee, let me know!
I'm on Long Island, and there is a NY-based Starbucks competitor opening a small coffee bar around the corner from me. I'm sure it's as wacko leftie as Starbucks, but it's a change at least.
here's the competitor: http://www.themudtruck.com/about.html
