Yes, I know its a simple Starbucks but its the only cafe that is close to our house (only a couple of blocks down the street) and I have been walking Maya to this Starbucks every morning since she was born. The employees there have literally seen her almost every day since the day I brought her back from the hospital. Mohammed is one of the baristas who greets Maya when she enters the store. At one point, they suggested we have a picture of Maya on the community board as their "Preferred Client"! This Starbucks has given me, personally, a sense of continuity as I have been drinking the same coffee (decaf non fat no whip mocha) for about 10 years. I only wish they had low fat variety in their selection (the stuff they have is really bad!). Other than that, it's really a meeting place in our neighborhood. Folks have meetings there as there is lots of sitting space and at night it becomes the hip hang out place for university students. Go figure!
