CARIBOU vs. STARBUCKS

edatrix:

discuss.

Um, that’s like THE BEATLES vs. THE ROLLING STONES. Both seem ubiquitous and overhyped/over-priced.

My flavorite coffee den is Firestorm Cafe (but it’s not open in the mornings… and there’s no Caribou coffee in the area… … there’s Izzy’s, but it’s not on the bus route to the office and if I hiked over there for me daily brew I’d late for work… The Drip in actually on the bus route to the office, but if i stopped for coffee i’d have to wait 30 minutes for the next bus which would make me late to work… and there’s City Bakery, but that presents the same dilemma as The Drip… leaving me with Starbucks and the bad taste in my mouth that Asheville’s public transit is not as good as it could be.). So, ugh (I can’t believe it!)… I concede… Starbucks (at least for me morning dose of caffeine).
