    How many coffee chains are there??

    I always try to frequent the locally owned variety. My favorite in my town is a good 40 minute drive so I don't get there very often. The ones in the burbs are so sanitary, so blase, I really don't care for them. I frequent one near me but I don't usually stay very long. They have flat panel TVs with CNN playing all the damn time. No proper coffee house should have TVs.

    I love breves. The local Wired Rabbit does about the best one I've had. Starbucks sucks at breves. Unfortunately, I'm very caffine sensitive so they are very few and far between.

    I like Starbucks, I love Dunkin Donuts coffee,
    and I also like Seattle's Best. They have it now in NY but it was tastier when I had it in Seattle :) I had this white chocolate mocha with white chocolate shavings on top of it. It was amazing.

    Same here! Much smoother and less acidic than Starbucks.

    There is a place in Houston called the Brazil that I love. I don't go very often but it's great. It used to be a nice place but not it's always super crowded. Word got around.

    i dont drink chain shop coffee.. not because of some hippy ideal... but in my hometown there is only 1 chain coffee shop and i'd have to walk past 3 indie coffee shops to get there.. so i dont bother.. but i love a good Cinnamon Latte :)

    I'm in a small town so Starbucks is a luxury and I like it when I'm somewhere where it is. In Canada I like Second Cup.

    They are all Seattle area chains:

    Pegasus
    Cafe Diva
    Cafe Ladro

    I like a medium to mild roast. Lattes made from these beans are just exquisite!

    I guess if I had to pick a chain, it'd be Peet's coffee.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.
