    I don't have a problem with Starbucks coffee. The coffee I really don't like is from Panera - it's way too bitter for me.

    their muffins have a TON of fat and calories- they BETTER taste good for all the empty calories and junk they contain...

    Tim Horton's rocks! Everytime I'm in Northern ME or Canada I splurge daily. Also the Fractured Prune is a good splurge as well. They usually sell Seattle's Best or whatever's easier in the area.

    For REALLY good coffee - go to Caffe Pronto (I know of 3 Annapolis locations). They also deliver their coffees to your home & they are GOOD...just the smell is awe inducing:) www.caffepronto.com

    I have to second that. My parents ran a restaurant for over 20 years in El Paso and they served Farmer Bros. products. Delicious coffee!!

    If there was more than one place to get coffee in the same location, I'd pick the one with a drive thru. Really, does anyone know if the current plans provide for one?

    I spoke with the manager at the Broadlands Plaza location a while back, and he had mentioned that every five years a Starbuck's location is up for either remodeling or relocating.He said that the company was looking into finding someone to share the pad space next to Wendy's so that it would be like the location in Herndon, the one that shares space with Baja Fresh. He said the company was not happy with how the plaza ended up because originally the plans did not include the space where Bonefish is located and there was supposed to be an entrance/exit there instead. If this would have been the case, Starbucks would have been on the end in a convienent and easy place to get in and out. I, personally, will sometimes go the Starbucks in the Farms just so I don't have to weave in and out of the parking lot. I hope that this is true and they find someone to share that pad. I'm with you krmckee, I prefer a drive thru!! Gee, how pathetic have we become?!!:rolleyes3:

    The only drive thru Starbucks I have seen in Ashburn is the one in Ashbrook Commons near Route 7 and Ashburn Village Blvd. In fact, I can't think of any other drive thru coffee places in Ashburn.

    My mom is from Madawaska & my dad is from Fort Kent - :) It's very uncommon for anyone to know where those are but you'd be the best bet:)

    We have family also from Edmunston NB and living currently in St. Quentin, NB. I LOVE the drive in those parts (but the drive getting from HERE to there - with 2 (almost 3) kids is a TOTALLY different story) :screwy:

    I was informed by the contractors that it was going to be mid February. I don't know an exact date though.

    Wow, I had heard mid-March. That's what I get for not watching the forums more closely for up-to-the-minute Starbucks news! :D
