logo_top.gif Dear Mr. Schultz,

Regarding the changes coming to a Starbucks near me, I have been warned that the warmed breakfast sandwiches will be discontinued by the end of the year. They do not fit with the pure coffee shop experience. One thing that will harmonize with coffee, and please customers, is the idea of free Wi-Fi.

I am intrigued with what you call Art of Espresso.
The three-hours of training that will refresh the baristas knowledge.

I do appreciate your efforts in keeping Espresso standards high, but why stop there? Shouldn’t every beverage made, be one of perfection?

February 26
Starbucks to close from 5:30p - 8:30p

DRIVE THRU STARBUCKS
695 Coleman Ave @ Taylor

    Free WiFi (and free refills) are often the tipping point for choosing Panera over S’bux at the SJ Marketplace on Coleman.
