Eventhough Los Angeles is in a warmer climate, people still love their coffee. I figure that there are two types of people in LA; people who like The Coffee Bean and those who like Starbucks. There really isn't another option. You are either one or the other. The Bean and Starbucks both know this too. If you go anywhere in Los Angeles they put these two coffee giants in close proximity to eachother either directly across the street or within a few blocks.

I am a Coffee Bean girl and if I find a Starbucks I will make the 2-5 block journey to find the Bean; even if it is raining and I am wearing bad shoes. The Coffee Bean's Iced Chai Lattes are the closest thing to heaven that I can imagine. They are the perfect blend of chai, milk and vanilla powder. Really. It just tastes like bliss in a cup.

Whereas I think Starbucks Coffee tastes like burnt dirt. Even their lattes come on too strong.

Not to judge, but I am, I think that the people who frequent these two coffee giants are different too. If I were more of a nerd I might write a socio-anthropology paper about it, but I am not that motivated.

Email me at eyemheer2@yahoo.com and let me know if you like the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf or Starbucks.

I wonder if anyone at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf will read this and offer me free Chai Lattes for a year. One could dream.
