The amount of coal rolling cope going on here is kind of wild... first time seeing people culture-war mad on Lemmy. Kill your darlings, I guess.

The top one looks like an amogus
The cars. I’m also not a fan of crowds so there is that. Still, fuck all these cars. I can walk in and get my coffee to go.
Both look horrible.
I dont see any living spaces above that Starbucks.
Speaking of miserable places to live.
i don't drive, so it would have to be #2 (otherwise no coffee for me).
tbh i feel bad for the people living above the restaurant. i used to live above an italian restaurant and the patrons were so loud that we'd receive love letters from the landlord saying things like "do not throw milk in the courtyard".
Neither. Place is packed both places.
This is why I make coffee at home.
The one where I just get a cup from my MrCoffee drip coffee maker and stay home.
I'd much rather make my own coffee at home. It's pennies on the dollar compared to this shit, and I'm not spending an extra half hour or more out of my day for something I'll consume in minutes once it reaches optimal drinking temperature.
I use an aeropress, which allows me to make concentrated coffee that I can store in the fridge. I pour a little into an insulated travel cup and just add hot water when I want to drink it - either just before going on a drive, or after I get to work. I take a proper mug with me to work along with it and pour into it out of the travel cup. It's one of the highlights of my day.
I hate drive-through culture and am glad to not have anything to do with it, but I'm also not a big fan of sitting in public spaces amongst a bunch of strangers who actually like slurping down sugary caffeine drinks out of paper cups.
