Yeah, we don’t need Starbucks. I’ve a pref for Communitea where you know you’re getting real tea or coffee - whatever mood you might be in on the day. Free wi-fi and great food and its like my home away from home.

Starbucks is so overrated. Their coffee is just a bunch of sugar and fake milk crap. Keep them out of LIC!

Which Brasil do you go to? The one on 23rd is understaffed when there’s a rush (one person working) but otherwise she’s way nice and knows my usual and starts making it before I even say anything.

C-Town 4eva. It says “supermarket” on the sign.

A little bird told me that EC might get an organic/ independent coffee shop. That might be cooler than a Starbucks.

Their coffee is decent actually, but I’ve had bad experiences with their service. Enough that I don’t go there anymore, except for when I’m having a craving for a corn and cheese empanada. That’s worth it.

Hot tip: get the BCH Cafe au Lait from Brasil Coffee House on your commute… I’m spoiled. Once I’m around the office in Manhattan there’s nothing nearly as good. It’s uber-strong but not burnt-tasting and cut with a nice dose of lactose to keep it smooth.

Fantastic.

I was just in Sunnyside the other day and all the Starbucks/Wendy’s other chains on Queens Blvd there = not adding a lot of character to the place.
