Starbucks: The Next Frontier of Adventure

January 30, 2012 matt 8 Comments

Okay, okay…Starbucks may not be an adventure to most of you but hear us out… Our definition of adventure was to get out and do something that we haven’t done before, so even though we have physically been in a Starbucks before we had never made a point to go do the Starbucks “thing”.

What’s the Starbucks “thing”?

We packed up our laptops and paperwork and headed to Starbucks to enjoy the real Starbucks experience. It’s all about finding a quiet spot to sit with your technological device or old fashioned paper and pen, all while smelling and hearing that coffee shop environment. Use their free wifi, read a book, people-watch, and sip on your huge cup of caffeine. We hear it’s how things get done these days!

The pull of free money.

So, due to having a bunch of gift cards from the Holidays, we decided to go and do this Starbucks thing…and to be honest, it was awesome. They have it down to a science; the coffee and breakfast food we ordered was fantastic and the service was top notch…but to finally sit for a while and experience the establishment was quite enjoyable. We hung out for about two to two and a half hours and got a fair amount of work done and really enjoyed the vibe. Luckily for us, a good friend of ours, Jeanette, works at the Starbucks we went to and she took her break with us which was pretty cool. It was awesome to see the system they have in place and just relax and watch the world go by. It’s pretty amazing to see how many people need their Starbucks fix!

Anyways…adventures don’t have to be this big crazy insane thing…it just needs to be something new to push your mind.

    Ah! Do the Starbucks adventure almost every day after work, my decompress time. The Baristas chat with me while on break. Some of them stop by to chat even if they aren’t working that day. As Howard said, “It’s Not Just About The Coffee”.
