so somehow alameda dodged the bullet of starbucks closing. who knew we could support six locations?
adios to:
Benicia – 328 First Street
Berkeley – 1600 Shattuck Avenue
Brentwood – 7760 Brentwood Boulevard
Concord – 2250 Monument Boulevard
Emeryville – 4125 San Pablo Avenue
Hayward – 26953 Mission Road
Hollister – 1280 San Juan Road
San Francisco – 101 4th Street and 901 Market Street
San Jose – 1167 Lincoln Avenue
Santa Rosa – 1620 Mendocino Avenue
Walnut Creek – 2001 Main Street
personally I'm not too sad - used to live in san ho near the Lincoln ave location. This Starbucks put a great local coffee shop - Java N Jazz out of biznis by opening across the street and offering "special pricing" for months to undercut them until they went under. so now they're closing. karma, I guess.

Re: Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks
Fri, July 18, 2008 - 6:58 AMI wish they could get some different coffee shop in at South Shore. I got so tired of getting grounds in the bottom of my cup, even after complaining several times, talking to management, and corresponding with their corporate office....one of my co workers got an iced coffee from them the other day and it looked like someone had crushed up a chocolate cookie and dumped it in (only it didn't taste like cookie), there were that many coffee grounds. I won't even go in there any more....have to get my morning cup of joe from MickeyD's until an alternative comes along.
Starbucks is the Wallmart of the coffee industry -

Re: Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks
Fri, July 18, 2008 - 9:03 AMThere is a nice little coffee shop across from the Alameda gym on Park street... or the next block down. -

Re: Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks
Fri, July 18, 2008 - 9:51 PMWasn't there a coffee house in Alameda (years ago) that sold bumper stickers that said 'Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks?
I like Javarama. (sp?) -

Re: Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks
Sun, July 20, 2008 - 9:19 PMThat was Deaf Dog Coffee in Petaluma that had those bumperstickers. -

Re: Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks
Fri, September 19, 2008 - 4:54 AMThere was a shop on Santa Clara near Park Street (I believe Sakura Sushi is in its old spot) that had that slogan, as well. It's been closed at least 5 years, maybe more.

Re: starbucks closing
Fri, July 18, 2008 - 9:47 PMOk I only moved to Oakland from Alameda about a year and a half ago.
Since when were there 6 starfucks? I never ventured into bayfarm much, are there some there?
I count -4 - Park street. South shore safe way & south shore next to the bagel place and the one in albertsons in marina village. Or do the kiosk ones in the markets not count?

Re: starbucks closing
Fri, July 18, 2008 - 9:48 PMI never went to starfucks, just trying figure out where they were all hiding...
I love Julies, my man and I always come into alameda for some boogie woogie bagel action and some Julies.

Re: starbucks closing
Fri, July 18, 2008 - 11:38 PMThe Nob Hill center has one, and the one by Kinkos near the tube.
Hey, if Alameda can support two Weinerschnitzles, it can support a dozen Starbucks. -

Re: starbucks closing
Sat, July 19, 2008 - 3:50 AMThere are two Weinerschnitzles? Huh. Never noticed that...where's the other one? (other than Park St) -

Re: starbucks closing
Sat, July 19, 2008 - 1:53 PMWebster, joined with the icecream place and Subway, across the street from the hotel. All on the right side if you're heading up Webster towards the tube.
It has a drivethrough. -

Re: starbucks closing
Sat, July 19, 2008 - 3:36 PMThanks : )
I don't spend much time on that side of town, probably why I'd not noticed it...
Cheers!

Re: starbucks closing
Sun, July 20, 2008 - 8:17 PMYou've got those right. There is also one just off Webster St. @ Atlantic next to the Fedex/Kinko and one at the new strip mall on Blanding Ave. and Broadway...on the way toward the Fruitvale Bridge, which makes 6 total. Ya... pretty fucking unbelievable how many Fourbucks we support.
I'm on a coffee "break" so to speak and saving a TON of money. But if I were to indulge in a local cuppa joe I'd head out first to the place attached to the Marketplace on Park St. Forget the name at the moment.... but they have the richest and smoothest flavored coffee and decaf coffee around. Mmmm. Friendly service too. -

Re: starbucks closing
Sat, July 26, 2008 - 5:41 PMDoes anyone know anything about the Blue Dot Cafe that is supposed to be opening on Encinal (in the space that Spellbound books used to occupy)? It's been a few months now and I'm still waiting for it to open. -

Re: starbucks closing
Fri, September 19, 2008 - 4:58 AMSpellbinding Tales, corrected the pedantic former bookseller. :)
Looks like Blue Dot just opened:
