I can't think of a local place near where I live though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-shop-or-chain#post-1001826 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:16:00 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1001826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably the local place. I was bummed when our local cafe changed hands. Now the coffee tastes like feet, so it's Starbucks for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-shop-or-chain#post-1001779 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:07:51 +0000 birdofafeather 1001779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>local. if i'm not making it at home, then i would go to one of 2 local places a quick walk from my house. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-shop-or-chain#post-1001761 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:04:22 +0000 MrsF 1001761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: This.

I like that I can get the same thing anywhere in the city, but that it's still all owned by the same folks. </p> <p>We have a local place, but I'm not a fan of their stuff. It's *too* artsy for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-shop-or-chain#post-1001139 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:28:48 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1001139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Local.

I rarely splurge on Starbucks, but if it was a small shop my excuse would be that I'm supporting a small business owner...and that would be excuse enough to get coffee out (: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-shop-or-chain#post-1001056 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:09:24 +0000 Dandelion 1001056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love local places, but there's not any around here. It's all Starbucks or DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coffee-shop-or-chain#post-1001043 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:05:56 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1001043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in the cutest little coffee shop today, and it got me thinking. If you had the choice between a little local joint, and a chain like Starbucks or Tim Hortons, which would you choose for your morning coffee? </p>
