Imma go to Starbucks in the morning for some coffee, if it ain't no girls there i won't buy no damn coffee!

Starbucks is the last public space with chairs. It's a shower for homeless people. And it's a place you can write all day. The baristas don't glare at you. They don't even look at you.

When it comes to Starbucks, I take every threat very personally.

I love to go shopping at Target. They have so much stuff there, you can buy almost anything, it's really amazing.

I have a group of cafes and coffee shops that I go to regularly. They usually have an area where I can plug in my computer and have a corner seat where I can do a couple hours of writing or whatever, even the noise of the surrounding people walking by.

We've gone from a world in which Starbucks set a cutting-edge standard for mass-market design to a world in which Starbucks establishes the bare minimum.

When I first discovered in the early 1980s the Italian espresso bars in my trip to Italy, the vision was to re-create that for America - a third place that had not existed before.

I love air conditioning and Starbucks.

When you have live music in the background, people are usually talking over it. You don't actually get to listen to live music in your space all the time.

I love to go to the bar close by for a good espresso and have a chat with the bartender.

If the room falls silent for a moment, all I hear is white noise.

The room was very quiet. I walked over to the TV set and turned it on to a dead channel-white noise at maximum decibels, a fine sound for sleeping, a powerful continuous hiss to drown out everything strange.

The coffee shop played a big role in Vienna of 1900. Rents were sky high, housing was difficult to come by, your apartment probably wasn't heated, and so you went to the coffee shop. You went to the coffee shop because it was warm, because it was great Viennese coffee, and you went for the conversation and the company.
