Many people may disagree with me, but I love Starbucks. I think it is very unfortunate that they only have a warehouse in Holland and not a few coffee bars. (Note: I can’t call Starbucks as a ‘coffee shop’ here, it might just be mistaken as a place where you can buy and smoke pot. So I’d better call Starbucks as a coffee ‘bar’). Yes it may be bad for the local economy (or something like that I heard)…but man, where else can you order a Venti Decaf Fat Free Cappuccino with Whipped Cream??? (OK I am over exaggerating my order here…and OK, in the US you might get this at other places, e.g. Pete’s Coffee in SF/Berkeley) Or a Frappuccino? And something that makes me even more jealous…got an e-mail from a colleague who works in San Francisco….They have Frappuccino ICE CREAM!!!! I drooled all over my desk when I read his e-mail. Even Bali has several Starbucks…why not here?! The closest Starbucks is in London Heathrow. Can they just open a very small kiosk outside their warehouse in Amsterdam’s harbour???
Oh well… while I am still waiting for future Starbucks to open in Holland…I found a place that I frequent most weekends to sooth my annoyance: Mockamore in Utrecht. They do not have Venti Decaf Cappucino or a Fat Free version but they do serve ice cold Frappiato with Bountys chocolate! A good enough substitute for me at the moment.
love the drawing and all the details, and just color on the brick wall looks so terrific!
yes! that would be my order too, decaf, fat free and added chocolate!
(which I’m always a bit embarrassed to order with “real” coffee aficionados about)
Very nice drawing, and after reading your post I’m not taking for granted the Starbucks that’s almost around every corner where I live. Sorry, I wasn’t trying to rub that in.
I love your detail work with just the color on the wall. Very effective.
And I love Starbucks too!

Evy your blog is so inspiring! Sorry to say but Starbucks are all over Kuwait!
Hey,
I live in The Hagua (Den Haag) and in the past year I’ve lived in Fresno, California as an exchangestudent (I’m 17) I loved Starbucks!!!! It’s so good. My favorite is Java chip, extra cream. Anyway, now I’m back I miss it too. I heard of an American girl who just moved here that they actually have a STarbucks in Amsterdam. But I read several times that Starbucks wants to open coffee “shops” in Holland. There is nothing really like it, except for individual local cafe’s maybe, but nothing like Starbucks. I hope they will open stores soon.
I love Starbucks.
I’m looking forward to my next java chip…. hhmmm
