So sorry to hear you are having to close stores and layoff people due to the economy...Are you sure it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that your coffee is HORRIBLE, overpriced, your "baristas" (also known as plain old coffee servers) are ususally sullen, can't be bothered college kids, and most of your clientele are pretentious and think spending $5 bucks for a latte means they have money and are cool?

From the customer who goes to the OTHER coffee place because they are great!!

a grande soy pumpkin spice latte with no whip cream.  I have acquired a taste for coffee though, so I can't really tell you if they have a strong coffee taste.  Their frozen frappacino things don't taste much like coffee - my 11-year-old niece loves them and she obviously does not like coffee!  I say try their smallest size (a tall) and see what you think of the hot lattes.  The talls only have 1 shot of espresso and the mediums (grande) have 2 shots.

My favorite coffee drinks are the frozen coffees at Baskin Robbins.  You can get whatever kind of ice cream you want mixed with their coffee mix - to die for.  I only let myself get 1 or 2 a year though because they are very fattening and expensive.  Ice Rages are also delicious cold coffee drinks, and you can get them almost anywhere.  The cookies and cream flavor doesn't taste like coffee to me. mmmm, now I need to go and have a cup of coffee!  Just an fyi in case you didn't know - a regular cup of coffee suposedly has about 135 mg of caffeine and a shot of espresso has about 35 mg.  That's what I read in a magazine anyway, so a latte (with just 1 shot of espresso) is mostly milk with just a little bit of coffee.
