For anyone who's ever wondered what the very first Starbucks looks like.... this is it. Turns out it opened in 1971... for some reason I thought Starbucks was older than that. We went to this one (again) on our third-last day in Seattle, right after we said our goodbyes to Pike Place Market.
It's true what they say: Seattle really does have a Starbucks on every corner. I don't drink it myself, but I'm told any coffee is good coffee when you're cold 80% of the year...
Seattle's also home to "the largest Starbucks in North America" (to quote the excited girl who served me there). I took my mum and dad to that one -- by accident, not as a tourist attraction I swear -- when they visited from Australia. I don't have a picture of that one, maybe because it's too big...

Any coffee is NOT good coffee... even when you're cold. Especially when you're cold. London can not make coffee. Not at all. I'm not even a coffee drinker, and I am ashamed. If you really need a nice warm drink to cheer you up, and you get a boiling (no, scalding) cup of mud, trust me, you do not cheer up.
