I prefer the smaller coffeeshops to Starbucks, not because I think Starbucks is necessarily evil, but because I can't stand the faux hipsters that infest the DC locations, and I just happen to like most of the ones in my area. Sadly enough, my favorite local coffee shop is under new ownership that added hookah to the mix...and it has become a hipster hangout. Ugh.
I must be weird because I absolutely love home-brewed drip coffee to the point where my mom has to dig out the regular coffeepot from the basement when I'm at her house, since I prefer it to her espresso machine. I have a thing for creamers, and I'm always trying new flavors, so maybe that's it. While you think this would save me money, despite my preference I am usually grabbing Starbucks since I couldn't wake up in time to brew coffee/prepare a travel mug to save my life thanks to law school exhaustion.
I rarely hang out in Starbucks because I literally hate being in one. They used to be overcrowded with sorority girls when I was in undergrad, and this drove me nuts because I was already a bit overtired from constant sorority from living in my house. I don't like the atmosphere at the one at my law school because there are students with babies in there and it makes me feel old.
