I do have to admit to being a bit prejudiced because I just do not like the company. To me, they are overhyped and overpriced. And I don't like the way that they reinvented their history. Their first coffee shop was not in Pike Place Market. It was in Old Bellevue about a quarter of a mile from where I lived. I remember when they opened the Pike Place Market location. They now claim that it is the first one because that is in the tourist district.
If their company image was the best in the world it would still be the last place that I would go for just a cup of coffee because it is terrible.
