The Bean's baristas claim to be artists and are only nice to the good looking people. They're just serving coffee but have a better than you attitude. And Starbucks started out just like the Bean, until they expanded. Wait until Bean becomes a chain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-3620777252076957912012-02-18T05:36:13.347-05:002012-02-18T05:36:13.347-05:00it's hard to find a good cup of coffee without...it's hard to find a good cup of coffee without a long line, and it's hard to find a bathroom you can use even when your a paying customer, this alone is reason enough to support Starbucks.<br /><br />however some Starbucks locations have taken the labels off their bathrooms and keep them locked all day long. :-( <br /><br />The bean was one of the few places that always had a bathroom available, however their coffee wasn't any good. I went to their new location last month and found a line going through the whole coffee shop, so I exited quickly and made a bee line for the starbucks which hadn't opened yet :-(NYC taxi photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675924502053024145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-57244920726589811072012-02-17T16:24:54.153-05:002012-02-17T16:24:54.153-05:00And to think, one short block away on 2nd Avenue i...And to think, one short block away on 2nd Avenue is The Bean!

I wonder if this is part of their re-branding efforts. <br /><br />In Seattle, they experimented with opening 'stealth stores' under the name 15th Ave Coffee and Tea. They idea was to make them appear as small boutique shops with a neighborhood appropriate feel. The 15th Ave Coffee and Tea brand was a failure in Seattle but perhaps this the next iteration of their concept - keep the brand name but change the look the look to something less obnoxious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-39419497002794150412012-02-17T14:02:58.671-05:002012-02-17T14:02:58.671-05:00omg - - - another Starbucks !!!!!
