Starbucks,

5050 Washington 303, Bremerton, WA 98311

"In a previous review with one of our local Starbucks, I stated I wasn't a fan of their coffee in general but love their eggnog lattes. However, I have been on a roll trying Americanos at different coffee places; I thought it was fair to try the americanos at Starbucks, and beings I was in the position to do so at the one located in Fred Meyers. I thought, what the heck! I was greeted friendly by the barista and promptly gave her my order, an 8 oz. americano. Like yesterday, this barista didn't offer me a coffee sleeve either, and she didn't warn me the coffee was scalding. After letting my americano cool a bit, I was dying to take a sip to see how similar or different their americano is to all of the other ones I have recently tried. It was generally ok tasting but bolder in taste and left a little bit of an acidic taste in my mouth afterward. In my opinion, it wasn't very smooth tasting. Still, it wasn't terrible either; it was pricer than any of the other 8 oz americanos I have recently purchased, coming in at $2.45 before tax. I am happy I tried a Starbucks americano, but I doubt I will rush back to grab another americano here, at least not anytime soon, Still, I can appreciate that people have their own opinions and know what they like, whether it is the taste, a familiar place, the people that work there or only out of convenience, your supporting jobs. Right now, that is a crucial factor. Thank you for supporting all jobs; please don't forget to support your locally owned small businesses as well, and remember Covid affects everyone, be friendly, have patience and stay healthy!!!!"
