Starbucks

Starbucks coffee shops are everywhere.  But, like McDonalds and other franchise establishments, there are a handful that are in fantastic locations.  One is located near Fisherman's Warf in San Francisco.  Across from the famed Buena Vista, home of the Irish Coffee, and from the warf cable car turn-around, you will find a Starbucks.  Lots of activity.  Tons of frozen tourists, trying to warm up after suffering the frozen temperatures in the fog at the cable car turn-around.  And a handful of locals.  Including us, sitting at a table, drinking a salted carmel hot chocolate, and blogging.
