Donut Shops vs. Starbucks
Woman in the Middle | March 5, 2014Near my house is both a donut shop and a Starbucks. Those two things along with Southern California weather make my little city the most perfect place in the world to live. I frequest both the donut shop and Starbucks way too much. However. this has given me the opportunity to compare the two and I have noticed several differences:
Donut shops have donuts. Starbucks have “pastries.”
If you ask for coffee at a donut shop, you get a cup of coffee. Boom, its done. At Starbucks, you can get a cup of coffee, but that is a rarely seen thing. Instead you have a million choices and you have to wait 10 minutes to get your fancy drink.
Donut shop – coffee and a donut, less than $2.00. Starbucks drink and pastry….Unless you get plain coffee it will be over $6. Even with plain coffee, it will still be over twice the cost of the donut shop.
Donut Shop – The one by me sees quite a few people who work in the landscape maintenance industry first thing in the morning. My Starbucks, on the other hand, seems to cater more to office workers, teachers, students, and the like.
Donut Shop – I have never seen anyone at the donut shop that I know. Starbucks – I see someone I know at least 75% of the time.
However, the one thing they both have in common is that everything is full of calories and oh so delicious. Sigh. Now I really want a donut! And maybe a frappuccino….
And here it is donut day!
Oh the choices we have to make! Why do they have to be so hard!
I would go with the donut shop every time as I love donuts
Go to the Doughnut Shop to get a doughnut, and then go to Starbucks to get a fancy drink. Then you won’t have to decide.
I seriously considered it!
