I may beg to differ. As much as I disparage McD's food<?>, their coffee
really improved a lot. I have posted here about picking some up on a
road trip a couple years and how my wife and I agreed that it was
excellent. It was significant that my wife agreed heartily because we
had had to car pool for a while and since I started work so much earlier
she would stop at McDs for breakfast. She hated their coffee and would
stop at Hortons. After several warnings about bringing Hortons coffee
into McDs they kicked her out.

I have had some decent coffee at Starbucks. It is better than most
franchised coffee shops, but not really worth the money. I get much
better coffee at the corner bakery/coffee shop. They have fair trade
coffee and have three choices each day, one being flavoured. They also
do espresso, latte, cappuccino and all those foofoo coffee drinks. Unlke
$tarbucks, they have an impressive assortment muffins, scones, cookies
and squares.

I was quite impressed with Vietnamese style coffee when I had it. I
usually drink coffee black, so the sweetened condensed milk added
something I am not used to. The first time I had it was after dinner,
and I was awake until about 4 am.
