Elle told me a while back (while we were squandering our money there) that it smelled like a used ashtray. I was holding a cup of the stuff. I sniffed. I gagged. I poured it out. Actually I think I drank it. Because you can't waste good coffee, even if it has been dressed up with a Marlboro or five. But I vowed to never have Harbuck's regular stuff again. Because it turns out, elle was right on. It ain't that regular. I know what you mean about Harbuck’s regular brew.

City Bar has pretty good coffee, nice cups and all. I'm a fan of their Moccachino, which is about 7 lei for a big one (as big as a SB grande). They're available in several locations downtown, at the train station and at the airport. City Bar (comes with Gregory’s sandwich bars) and Gloria Jeans (fancier, in malls).

In most places it seems like this is the case until the big boys move in. Here in Tg. Mures, though, we really don't have anything even similar to starbucks. We have crap in a plastic cup from a kiosk or fancy sit-down establishments, nothing in the middle. And so it seems with many other things in Romania. Such a lack of creativity here...

[i wasn't THAT curious, i just happened to be there]. And there was a line. And it was pretty full. I wouldn't have the guts to go there during the day.

And the price does surprise me. I expected it to be higher, given the trend (Zara from Istanbul is at least 2 times less expensive than the Zara shops in Bucharest). I am sure their Starbucks is also cheaper! I will stick to Gregory's coffee after I stop being pissed by the fact that they no longer make Cherry Mocha. yes, I am sure they will be filled with returning customers.

Remember all the stories I told you about McDonald's being a dating spot when the first ones opened back in the 1990s? A similar fate awaits Starbucks. I’m willing to bet they will.

I can't imagine they'll have that many customers. Jesus. I can’t imagine they’ll have that many customers.
