Starbucks is my #1 favorite place to chill. I love their drink selection, friendly staff and excellent atmosphere. They also offer some great patron benefits. With my registered Starbucks card I get 2 hrs (sometimes more) of free WiFi a day, I get a free drink every 15 drinks purchased and I get free refills of brewed coffee.
Their green options are a huge plus as well. Everytime I pay with my Preservation Card, Starbucks donates 5 cents to Conservation International (now through 12/31/2010). If I bring in my own mug, I get 10 cents off of my drink and they are constantly improving their cups and packaging to use more recycled content.
I was recently criticized by a friend for going to Starbucks, because they are a huge corporation. I understand the importance of giving local and small businesses patronage, but I'm proud to support a progressive company, dedicated to social and environmental improvement.
