Although in summer on a nice day....good luck finding parking! All Alterra's are always packed. but that's a good thing I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-fave-coffee-chain-besides-starbucks#post-687426 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:06:08 +0000 bushelandapeck 687426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dunkin donuts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-fave-coffee-chain-besides-starbucks#post-687425 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:06:02 +0000 sweetooth 687425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I love Alterra! Especially that one down by the lake. I ask that we go there everytime we're in Milwaukee :)</p> <p>I loved Peet's coffee when I lived in SF. Here in VA it's a combo of Dunkin &amp; 7-11. For now, I think I'm sticking with the swiss water process decaf that I found at my local coffee shop - not a chain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-fave-coffee-chain-besides-starbucks#post-687399 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:02:03 +0000 cascademom 687399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Argo Tea in Chicago.

Around here it's more popular than Starbucks. Although personally, unless I'm getting iced coffee I'd prefer Starbucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-fave-coffee-chain-besides-starbucks#post-686578 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 10:50:25 +0000 Freckles 686578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Omg, I LOVE philz!! The first time we went there, DH couldn't remember the actual name or the location, just that it's "somewhere in the Mission." We ended up having to ask a cop (haha) who knew where to direct us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-fave-coffee-chain-besides-starbucks#post-686568 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 10:47:33 +0000 Sammyfab 686568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought I'd say this, but McDonald's. I don't think I've eaten there in 10+ years but their lattes are super good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-fave-coffee-chain-besides-starbucks#post-686565 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 10:46:58 +0000 MamaMagpie 686565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like Pete's and will go out of my way to go there if what I'm wanting is an iced latte...they steam the milk even for an iced drink and it makes it soooo creamy and delicious. </p> <p>There was this place in NY though that I was obsessed with called Fika. They are definitely not a chain but have at least two locations (58th between 5th &amp; 6th is one -- go if you can!) and they have the very best coffee in the world. It's Swedish and they also have an in-house, award-winning chocolatier and have amazing goodies to eat, too. Ahhhhh I miss New York! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-fave-coffee-chain-besides-starbucks#post-686539 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 10:42:25 +0000 illumina 686539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I agree! Chain coffee shops including Starbucks in the UK are not great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-fave-coffee-chain-besides-starbucks#post-686537 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 10:41:56 +0000 prettylizy 686537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess Tim Hortons, but I don't go to either place very often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-fave-coffee-chain-besides-starbucks#post-686530 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 10:40:00 +0000 MrsBrewer 686530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The most amazing coffee I have ever had in my life if from a local chain (although I think they expanding very soon!) It's all organic, free trade coffee. It's called Alterra. Look it up!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-fave-coffee-chain-besides-starbucks#post-686527 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 10:39:49 +0000 Dandelion 686527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chain?

But I don't like the coffee from Dunkin, so none. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-fave-coffee-chain-besides-starbucks#post-686521 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 10:37:59 +0000 swurlygurl 686521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does 7-11 count? Haha. They have a decent coffee bar, and it's really cheap. Obviously, I don't care much about the quality of my coffee... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-fave-coffee-chain-besides-starbucks#post-686518 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 10:37:44 +0000 Grace 686518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Second Cup.

I think they make their own chocolates but their coffees and lattes have a hint of chocolate. It's so amazing. Just realized I need to alternate between them and Starbucks. I miss stopping there. </p>
