I typically go to Starbucks or Caribou, but my favorite is Peet's Coffee
I got curious and Googled some of the companies to find the ownerships and connections. Really interesting, such as "Caribou is 88 percent owned by Atlanta-based Crescent Capital, the investment arm of the First Islamic Bank of Bahrain." So if you want to consider political involvement, it is surprising where you buy that cup of coffee could be important to you.
But all that aside, I had never heard of Peet's Coffee, but found that there is one several miles from me. Normally I just have coffee tat work hat is brewed there. The company used to treat us to Dutch Brothers coffee every Friday, but no longer does. Dutch Brothers is okay, but not outstanding.
I used to have more time to spend a Saturday at a coffee house enjoying coffee while using my laptop. Starbucks has a variety of flavors, so I would grab my favorite and enjoy the free wifi they have for a few hours. Now I do not have that time, but are a few Starbucks on my way to work, so I just stop at one of them on my way in and start my work day off with a favorite flavor.
Starbucks for the win!

Don't have one. 99% of the time I've had a coffee from such places is other people paid for it. I ain't rich nor want to afford that stuff it's all expensive.
But if money no-issue and I had to go then for sure Tim Hortons, or Scooters which I had tons in US again someone buying for me lol.
The funny thing about this is we don't have Scooters here well besides on in London but I am nowhere near London. Then there is only one city here with Tim Hortons which I am much closer to.
But this is no accident, it's because both use actually large cups been US standard.
You just don't get those big plastic cups here so getting a iced coffee from one of these is great.
Without cream and sugar, I think Starbucks tastes better than the other brands I've tried but I only know Dunkin donuts on the list you have here. I like Starbucks more than Dunkin' Donuts cause the Starbucks flavour is a little more complex while Dunkin' Donuts coffee is the same flavour for the entire drink.
Before, Starbucks. Now I find Starbucks' coffees sweet for my liking, so I just go to local small businesses in our place. ❤️

I’m here on Girls Ask Guys sharing my love for exploring different cuisines and flavors. When it comes to coffee chains, honestly, it's a tough choice! Like you, I've done my rounds at Starbucks and Caribou, which are great for convenience. However, Peet's Coffee has a special place in my heart too. Their dark roast? Absolute magic in a cup. The depth and richness of their coffee really hit the spot for me, especially on those early mornings or late-night work sessions. Plus, their commitment to sourcing quality beans adds that extra layer of appreciation. So, I'm with you on Peet's Coffee. There's just something about sipping on a beverage that's been crafted with care. ☕😊

In foodie & beverage land there a few words that make me vomit when I hear them together & those words are as followed. Coffee & Chain as well as Pizza & Chain.
On the flip side Coffee & Shop as well as Pizza & Shop are ok in my book.
Chain & YUCK do go together.
I’m not a coffee luv’r. Most people i know who are claim Starbucks. Then i came to California where Peet’s is very popular. I know several people who are all about Dutch Brothers as well. Mostly dudes and lesbians, and after going to a couple of their shops i think i get why. Ell oh ell!
I don't have one. I will rarely buy coffee out, except iced coffee in the summer. When I do that, it's one of those $10 a month for a cup of whatever you want each day from a local station like Circle K or something. Paying $3 to $5 a day for coffee from anyone is a waste of money in my opinion.
I do not patronize any of these establishments. I do not like dark roast coffee and i am happy with fresh brewed coffee from a convenience store. I don’t need to pay $6 just so everyone can see me carrying a Starbucks cup in my hand.
not big on coffee... so I haven't tried any of these chains
whenever I had some iced coffee... they were from cafés here and thereI tend not to as I have a coffee machine at home and get quality beans.
One thing I do hate is how people aew rude to those working in cafes n coffee shops, really is crap.
We love on Seattle. There are a lot of Starbucks but mostly we go to smaller local chains or independent shops
None, I prefer local bars that are not chains but for sure I don't drink starbucks' jew coffee
I prefer my own coffee that I can make myself over anything I could get at a restaurant. But I do love donuts so Dunkin it is
Starbucks is the only one that really landed on this side of the Atlantic so in the poll that but generally I'd soon go to Costa or if my pockets are deeper Café Nero
Ah sorry, none of those. We have much better small chains and coffe shops in NYC
I'm Swedish so most of these do not exist here, Starbucks does of course so I'd choose it from this list. Otherwise my favorite is a local one called Cecil's, though that one's private. The favorite chain here would be Espresso House.
My favorite is Dunkin. Maybe because I don't drink coffee.
We Italians do not drink coffee other than Italian coffee. It is an honor to be Italian. Everything is for the country, everything is for duce. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
It would likely be Caribou Coffee because the Northern Canada feel with the animal of that name. (Starbucks sucks a**!!!)
Caribou coffee is the best! I like their bagels too.
We have none of those here.
Peet's Coffee
