I myself have visited Starbuck's from time to time when I can't find a mom and pop coffee house, but most people I talk to say that Starbuck's coffee does not even taste good. I try to go to a small locally owned shop when I can. I have seen so many small business owners of coffee houses fold their business because a Starbuck's moves in right next door and those who were once loyal patrons of the small business start going to the Starbuck's and contribute to the fold of the small guy. What is it about Starbuck's that people like so much?

i think starbucks popularity has a lot to do with marketing a whole image. not only are they selling coffee, they sell a whole "cool image" complete with the environment of their coffee shops, cool cup design, jazzy music playing in their shops, cd's you can buy with their music in the store.
i agree that their coffee isnt all that it is cracked up to be.
this is a shining example of the power of successful marketing.

Starbucks has more of a variety to choose from than a local place. Not to mention according to studies, starbucks coffee has 3x more caffeine than any other coffee. Plus, starbucks has wireless connection so you work, or surf the web while you enjoy your coffee, frapp, etc. But seeing that my starbucks is always so crowded I don't have time to stop in the am, if there was a mom n pop place local I'd probably hit em up.

Because it is more popular, easier to find, and generally (not always) taste better and have better prices. And from what I have experienced, the folks working at Starbucks are nicer than the people at the mom and pop's coffee houses.

The Mom & Pop type establishements you speak of usually fall short in quality, flavor and strength.
I am Italian, I need my coffee to be as strong as rocket fuel that's why I choose Starbucks.

Mainly starbucks welcomes people to use their own laptops and have phone charging outlets. They won't be rushed out because the workers are too busy to tell them they need to go. They also have comfort seats and tables to study or read.

My mom LOVES starbucks,
but I'm not much of a coffee person.
You could use that for anything.
Why support King Soopers, why not support your local ma & pa market,
or ma & pa gas station,
or why even go to borders
there's ma & pa Book stores.

There have been thousands of case studies on starbuck's.
Starbuck's is a relatively cheap way to feel wealthy. Their entire business model and store atmosphere is designed around it. ...And people like feeling wealthy, even if they're not.
