However, I LOVE my Saturday morning triple grande non-fat latte from Starbucks.

Now, when I'm in Playa (since they don't have SB yet), Cafe Sasta is my place over Joe's and the Press... you go with what you like. Period.
I love Playa, and I don't care to see it go commercial. Progress is progress though, and eventually when a place gets to a point where it becomes mainstream public and the "in" place to go, you're going to get the chains... I'd MUCH rather see the Starbucks logo than the Coco Bongo logo. But that's just me.
