Have you ever practically tasted Heaven in your mouth? It was honestly the best thing you’ve ever tasted with all of the different types of things you can get still lingering even after finishing the drink a while ago. Let us guess: It’s from Starbucks? Starbucks is an amazing place but has caused lots of controversial arguments about whether the new coffee shop, Americano is better or not. We are here to convince you that Starbucks is a lot better than Americano. Starbucks is much better because they are way more convenient with way more locations, it is more popular among people throughout EJHS, and they offer a big variety of things to buy.

Starbucks One of the reasons Starbucks is the best coffee shop around is because as good as Americano and other coffee shops are. 75.7% of people at EJHS picked Starbucks as the better option. Starbucks has very good drinks, but a real worker, Bella, stated “Starbucks is better because we have a better rewards program, a culture of warmth and welcoming, and we are everywhere which makes getting a coffee more convenient.” Because of a lot of these reasons, Starbucks is the best place to have a good coffee.
The second reason that Starbucks is better than Americano is they are more convenient because they have more locations. According to Statista in 2022 Starbucks had 35,711 locations worldwide. They have 15,873 locations in the U.S. and 19,838 that aren’t in the U.S. They started in 2005 and had about 10,000 then and now they have almost 40,000 so they have a large growth as well. They are projected to have about 55,000 by 2030 so they continue to grow through the years.

The third reason why Starbucks is better than Americano is that according to Starbmag, Starbucks has over 230 drink options and 25 food options! 230 different drinks is an insane amount! 25 foods is also a ton of options to choose from! Starbucks also has a ton of varieties of drinks such as black coffee, refreshers, frappuccinos, and so much more! As well as having so many different drinks, they also have a ton of food! Starbucks offers cake pops if you have a sweet tooth, a protein box if you’re feeling healthy, croissants for a delicious breakfast, and so much more! They have the best options!
In conclusion, Starbucks is the absolute best great coffee shop to get a drink at, and according to EJHS, about 3/4 of people would prefer to get a drink at Starbucks, which is the majority. Bella appears to have a strong opinion on reasons why her coffee shop is the best, Starbucks has great rewards programs and is everywhere. We very strongly recommend Starbucks to everybody that at any point feels like they want an amazing breakfast or lunch but don’t know where to go!
