Starbucks I Stand Corrected, You're An Oak.

A few weeks ago I decided I was going to boycott Starbucks. I felt I was paying too much money for crappy coffee AND crappy service. I held out for awhile but of course eventually I caved. Turns out I was wrong about the crappy coffee and service.

Recently our babysitter asked if I could start dropping off Sam at her place instead of her coming over. I agreed. She's awesome and we ALL love her. Having to wake up earlier to get everything ready has taken some adjusting. One of the things I haven't had time for is making my own coffee. Needing a solution for my little dilemma, I decided to go to the Starbucks in Montebello. I was a bit hesitant at first but felt I had no other choice. They have coffee in my office but its instant. I hate instant coffee.

So off I go to the Montebello Starbucks. There is no drive-thru here so I was forced to get off. Bleh. Parking lot is a tad small so sometimes finding parking could be a drag. Other than that the place is great. The baristas are super sweet! They seem to remember everyone's name and drink. The atmosphere was really cool. It was way different than the Starbucks I usually frequent.

Thanks to Starbucks in Montebello I am once again, a Starbucks lover. Had I known this whole time that it wasn't Starbucks but the locations I was going to that was giving me the crappy coffee, it would have saved me a lot of grief. I would suggest you avoid South Gate Starbucks and Bell Gardens Starbucks at all costs. They have terrible service and make lousy coffee. Just thinking about it pisses me off all over again!
