The best “third place” that Starbucks ever created was Roy Street Coffee & Tea in Seattle. It had a great selection of drinks, good food, plenty of seating, and a vibrant atmosphere. Unfortunately, Starbucks decided against expanding on the concept and closed down the café in 2019.

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.



Woah, I lived 3 blocks from there. I thought it was alright. We called it "fake starbucks."


It's a portmanteau but we call all the little sort of Starbucks "fauxbucks". You know the ones in gas stations, Target stores, etc.
