NEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 12: A new holiday Starbucks cup is viewed on November 12, 2015 in New York City. The coffee giant has come under criticism by some for leaving any Christmas or traditional holiday signage off of the red cup. While Starbucks has said there is no cultural or political message to the design, critics claim that the company doesn't want to offend non-Christians or those who don't celebrate Christmas.

It SEEMS like there is one in every city, every town, and in every corner, in the state. Where ARE Massachusetts TOP Starbucks locations? While I’m Dunk’s guy, if I need a coffee and there’s no Dunk’s near me, I’ll pivot to team Starbucks.  

The Starbucks Story

According to Wikipedia:

The rise of the second wave of coffee culture is generally attributed to Starbucks. They introduced a wider variety of coffee experiences. Depending on the country, most locations provide free Wi-Fi Internet access.

Starbucks was founded in 1971 by Jerry BaldwinZev Siegl, and Gordon Bowker at Seattle’s Pike Place Market. During the early 1980s, they sold the company to Howard Schultz who – after a business trip to Milan, Italy – decided to convert the coffee bean store into a coffee shop serving espresso-based drinks.

Dunkin’s Vs Starbucks

While Dunks interior design is reportedly designed to get you IN and OUT, Starbucks environment offered a new experience, promoting sit-down and stay awhile comfort. Before the Covid-19 work at home, world, many chose Starbucks as their, home, for work, or escape, from work!

While I don’t like paying $5 bucks for a coffee, I am not going to lie. I like the Caramel Macchiato. Just not everyday.
