I like starbucks, but I wish they weren't so expensive
Well, it's expensive for a reason. They the main representation of "second wave coffee". They distinguish themselves with superior taste, quality and customer experience. They also popularized darkly roasted coffee.
Do you know when Starbucks first opened?
I sure do! They were founded on 1971 in Seattle, Washington.
Huh, that's more recent than I thought.  It feels like they've been around forever.  Are they still most popular in Seattle?
I'm not too sure on that particular question, but I do know they are still doing great. As of November 2016 they now operate in 23,768 locations worldwide.
Oh wow.  Do you know if Starbucks has any particularly popular products?
Oh boy, they have a ton! They serve both hot and cold drinks, they serve whole bean coffee, microground instant coffee (or "VIA"), espresso, caffe latte and much more. And they do seasonal things like Pumpkin Spice Latte!
It all sounds pretty good!  I've never had the pumpkin spice latte, but I've heard about it.  I'll have to try when it comes out again.
You can even get pre-packaged food items at some of their locations if you aren't in the mood for coffee! Things like sandwiches. They even sale drinkware like mugs and tumblers!
